This is a special bonus edition of the podcast – looking at the murder of private investigator Daniel Morgan in 1987, and the extraordinary decision by Home Secretary Priti Patel to delay publication of an independent report about the botched investigation into his death. 

It’s a story that combines vicious crime, murky politics and media corruption.

Byline Times co-founder Peter Jukes made a hugely successful Untold Podcast series about the case and has also written a book about it with Daniel’s brother Alistair. I spoke to him about the latest twist in this sorry tale along with Byline Times editor Hardeep Matharu who sees a disturbing pattern in the delayed publication.

Presented by Adrian Goldberg.
