The Daily Mail is reporting that there were no fingerprints on the knife that David Kelly supposedly used to kill himself, and that his death was the only one reported that year in Britain caused by the cutting of that particular artery. This information comes from the private investigation of Liberal Democrat MP Norman Baker.
The new information is not a surprise for those who know he didn’t commit suicide. It was Kelly’s own knife, meaning his own fingerprints should have been on it, meaning that the agents who staged the suicide scene didn’t use gloves to handle the knife, and therefore had to wipe it clean of all fingerprints. This seems to be an indication of lack of professionalism in staging the scene, as does cutting an artery which wouldn’t cause death, but we’ve seen numerous examples where lack of competence doesn’t preclude involvement of intelligence professionals.
Somehow or other a complete judicial inquiry was held with no indication whatsoever that the knife that was supposedly the cause of death lacked the fingerprints that it would have had to have had for Kelly to have wielded the knife himself. If we didn’t have enough evidence of the joke that was the Hutton inquiry, we do now. A Freedom of Information request to Thames Valley Police was required to dig up the information on the fingerprints, which presumably the police felt was irrelevant to the inquiry. After everything, we are still left without a plausible cause of death for David Kelly.
