Norman Baker MP, who resigned from the front bench of the Liberal Democrats to research the mysterious death of UN weapons inspector David Kelly, is presenting the latest results of his investigations at the Lewes All Saints Centre on April 11th 2007.
The death of David Kelly at the height of the “weapons of mass destruction” debacle in 2003 was highly controversial. After casting doubt on the Blair government's claims about WMDs in Iraq, Kelly was vilified as a “Walter Mitty” character – and then shockingly found dead in woods near his home. The official verdict was suicide, but Lewes MP Norman Baker believes the evidence refutes this.
Baker, recently described by the Daily Mail as ‘the greatest man in politics?,' holds that the circumstances surrounding Kelly's death make suicide the least likely explanation, and murder a more probable solution. His investigations have raised national awareness of the uncomfortable discrepancies in the official story. Writing in the Mail, Baker says: ‘I challenge the [suicide] conclusion. I do so on the basis that the medical evidence available simply cannot support it, that Dr Kelly's own behaviour and character argues strongly against it, and that there were grave shortcomings in the way that the legal and investigative processes set up to consider his death were followed.'
