Description

In this explosive episode of A True Crime Podcast, host Alexander Lawson investigates the 1987 murder of private investigator Daniel Morgan. Found dead in a south London pub car park with an axe embedded in his head, Morgan was likely on the verge of exposing police corruption when he was silenced. Despite five major investigations, multiple arrests, and millions spent, no one has ever been convicted. The case exposed shocking institutional failings, conflicts of interest, and what an independent panel later called “a form of institutional corruption” within the Metropolitan Police. We explore the evidence, the botched probes, the family’s decades-long fight for justice, and why this scandal continues to haunt British policing. Trigger warning: Graphic discussion of murder and themes of corruption. Listener discretion advised.
