One of the most notorious unsolved murders in UK history may finally be coming to a conclusion. More than 20 years after the fact, five men are being charged in connection with the murder. It's really the gruesomeness of the murder that has always attracted so much attention, in addition to teh intrigue surrounding it.
Five men, including a former Scotland Yard officer, were due to appear in court on Thursday, in connection with the murder of a private detective in 1987.
Daniel Morgan, 37, was repeatedly attacked with an axe in a pub car park in Sydenham, south London, Scotland Yard said.
The father-of-two, from Monmouthshire, was found with the weapon still embedded in his head after he left a 90-minute meeting with his business partner.
Detectives said his 900-pound Rolex watch was missing but about 1,100 pounds in cash was still in his pocket.
Police charged four men with murder on Wednesday.
