Review Daniel Morgan murder over News of the
World link

3.  It is reported that the Met Police will now
investigate a News of The World link
concerning the Daniel Morgan Murder (R
v Vian & Others).
 Mr Glen Vian, represented by Bark & Co, was
acquitted in March 2011.

4.  Fred Bunn has been instructed by
Glenn Vian since the mid-2008. Not guilty
verdicts were entered against MrVian and the
other defendants, following complex and fiercely
fought challenges to the Crown’s case during
protracted pre-trial legal argument. The initial
investigation into the murder of Daniel Morgan in
1987 was deeply flawed, and many compelling
leads were not pursued properly or, in some
cases, at all. The level of public resources
expended in this most recent investigation is
simply breathtaking. The Police bought the house
next door to Mr Vian, in order to conduct
thousands of hours of intrusive covert surveillance
upon him and his family.

5.  They released false stories to the press in an
effort to trigger incriminating conversations. When
these efforts failed to produce any cogent
evidence, a case was built against these
defendants using “Supergrass” witnesses, and
considerably flawed Serious Organized Crime &
Police Act (SOCPA) agreements. It will come as
no surprise to right thinking people to learn that
those of the worst character, facing many years in
custody for crimes including drug trafficking and
attempted murder, will say anything in order to
secure a massive reduction in their sentence
and/or substantial financial benefits.

6.  The position is very much worse where, as in this
case, a SOCPA witness is told in advance what
the case theory is, and simply has to repeat it to
gain his reward. The defense has, in the course
of pre-trial legal arguments, been able to discredit
the Crown’s case so that, one by one, the
evidence of these witnesses has been excluded
by the trial Judge or abandoned by the
Crown. The recent legal arguments which
preceded the collapse of the case were led by
our defense team, based on a document found in
the unused material by a solicitor of this firm.

7. When entering not guilty verdicts, the trial Judge
said:-
“the legal representatives for all of the defendants,
faced with a mammoth and most difficult task,
have responded magnificently to it. And the
quality of the written and oral submissions that I
have received has, taken overall, been of the
highest quality. The industry and the tenacity
which has been shown by the defense teams is to
be commended and the defendants will leave
court knowing, if they did not know before, though
I think they must have known before, that they

8. Our client comments:
 “My name is Glenn Vian. I have recently been
acquitted of murder at the C.C.C. I have been
very lucky as I was represented by the best
team of solicitors you could possibly find Bark
& Co.
 I cannot say enough about this firm, other than
look nowhere else. They are the best. Their
investigation team were brilliant. Thanks
to Eamon Harris and Fred Bunn.

9.  All of these Solicitors are top drawer: Giles Bark-
Jones, Jenny Boyden etc. Giles has no problem
obtaining the best QCs because of Bark’s
reputation and the team behind them. I was again
fortunate to get the best QC’s David Whitehouse
QC and Ed Gritt QC, absolutely brilliant men.
 Which brings me to my solicitor Alison Hill, her
brilliant legal mind and determination to uncover
and get the truth goes above and beyond. So a
very special thanks to Alison Hill
and Eamon Harris for giving me back the rest of
my life. God bless you all at Fred Bunn
