Police could not find any fingerprints on Dr Kelly's 'suicide' knife

Police could not find any fingerprints on Dr Kelly\

Fresh doubts were raised over the suicide of Dr David Kelly after it emerged that no fingerprints were found on the knife he supposedly used to kill himself.

..............................

The angle you pick up a knife to kill yourself – there would be fingerprints. Someone who wanted to kill himself wouldn't go to the lengths of wiping the knife clean of fingerprints.

'And wearing gloves would seem very odd when you are about to cut your own wrists. It is very strange.'

I think it is becoming more clear over time that this was not suicide. I realise I'm only linking the daily Mail and the Mirror here but I'm sure this is or will be on other news providers sites soon

That's it really. It's an obvious murder case:

• No finger prints on knife
  
• No gloves on Dr. Kelly
  
• No gloves near Dr. Kelly
  
• Dr. Kelly could not have ever touched the knife
  
• Somebody else used the knife on Dr. Kelly
  

Murder, not suicide.

if we are ` stating the obvious `

if it was murder " they " would have had ample means and oportunity tp manipulate the knife in Dr Kellys hand , thus leaving his fingerprints on the grips

it is nigh imposible to discern [ using current tehniques ] if a fingerprint was generated post or ante mortum

this being ATS , i have every confidence that a fellow member will pounce on my failure to discuss motive for an alledged assasin to deliberatly ommit the step of applying Dr Kellys prints to the knife grip

and naturally speculate on what that motive was and speculate wildly

Maybe they omitted it knowing this would be a point bought up in defence of the suicide verdict. Maybe manhandling his prints onto the knife when he was covered in his own blood would have increased the chance of a dna print being left behind, maybe they had protection of some kind in leaving neither print on the knife - it seems to have worked to date, anyhow.

Maybe, somebody was seen by the murderer and they ran out of time.

What is the motive for Dr. Kelly to committ suicide? And then be able to do it without leaving a print?

I think that DK's gov't killers weren't really careful to do that great of a job-they knew that they would absolutely never be hauled into court over it, so why be perfectionists and exert themselves unnecessarily? Just get the job done and get out of there.

Furthermore, hanging around making sure everything's "perfect" just increases chances of getting caught.

I started a thread about this too yesterday (OP - I think i beat you to it!)

Not only is the lack of prints an issue but apparently the slit wrists and overdose were not enough to have killed him anyway.

Very, very suspicious

the poor guy------i would say that the knife found at the scean of the crime was not that used against him but rather just a thrown in distraction to lead investigaters off course by whoever murdered the dr.

who the heck is Dr Kelly?

I was asking the same thing until I saw the story...

His death came days after he was unmasked as the source of a Today programme report alleging Labour had 'sexed up' a dossier outlining the case for war in Iraq.

The document had famously claimed that Saddam Hussein could launch a nuclear or biological weapons strike on Britain within 45 minutes.

Dr Kelly, a father of three, was grilled on TV by MPs on the Foreign Affairs Select Committee. Source

You think they would've thought to get his prints on it.

If you interested in this weird death go to

Many unanswered questions.. It seems the coroner wasnt too interested either

MI6 always loves to kill people in their gardens. I remember the EMT's saying their was a surprising lack of blood as well.

Thats true,

I read an interview with one of the paramedics and they expressed their surprise that there was a distinct lack of blood anywhere near his body, completley inconcistant with someone who has commited sucide by slitting their wrists.

No blood around the body, a few drops or small amount just beside the body.

They had never seen that before.

That alone would raise serious questions in case of "sucide"

The paramedic was implying that the body had been moved to the place of discovery; but without coming right out & saying it.

Iraq whistleblower Dr Kelly WAS murdered to silence him, says MP

He says the murderers may have been anti-Saddam Iraqis, and suggests the crime was covered up by elements within the British establishment to prevent a diplomatic crisis.

I think he is covering his own ass here by saying it was carried out by Iraqi's and then covered up. Probably Iraqi's used by the SIS.

The MP claims he was contacted by an ex-spook who confirmed he was assasinated and (ex-spook)later threatened by telephone....

The person on the other end of the line did not bother with formalities, but instead cut to the quick. How would my contact welcome a full tax inspection of his business, VAT, national insurance, the lot?

I personally think the whole suicide by less than believable means is a way of the perpetraitors saying..we done it yes, the courts know they can't touch us and if anyone wants to mess with us this is what happens.

I concede you did start a thread on particular issue a day earlier, any further posts should be made here .

For the record, it is my option is that Dr. Kelly received an injection at the site of the wound to his wrist (the wound then covered up the puncture wound).

Cheers Now_Then,

That is a pretty good theory about the injection, i would agree with you that could be a real possibility!!

I just dont buy that this was suicide.
