2. 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).

3. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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

7. 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.

8. 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 have been very well served”.

9. 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.

10. 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.
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,

11. 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
Glenn Vian”
