An MP will be writing to Justice Secretary Jack Straw calling for the trial of four men charged with the murder of a Torfaen private eye to be held as soon as possible.

Daniel Morgan, 37, from Cwmbran, was found with an axe embedded in his head in south London in 1987.

On Monday Brecon and Radnor MP Roger Williams, where Mr Morgan’s elderly mother Isobel Hulsman lives, said the trial scheduled for September 2009 has now been postponed until September 2010. He highlighted the fact Mrs Hulsman is now in her eighties.

Mr Williams said he raised this issue with the Secretary of State for Wales in Parliament and added: ” I hope that he will take my comments on board to apply the necessary pressure in order to ensure that this trial takes place at the earliest possible opportunity and is not subject to any further delays.”

A Chinese police chief has been ordered to resign and a deputy chief has been fired amid allegations that a man died in custody after being tortured.

Police initially said Wang Yanhui died suddenly while being questioned in Henan province over alleged theft, state media reported. But when his family saw his body they said his injuries suggested abuse.

The incident has fuelled public anger over a series of reports of torture and deaths in police detention. Zhang Guanjun, police chief in Henan’s Lushan county, was ordered to stand down from his post over dereliction of duties, said Xinhua.

The news agency said an unnamed deputy chief policeman had also been removed from his post and four policemen involved in the alleged torture handed over to prosecutors. Mr Wang was reported to have died while being interrogated over alleged theft on 21 February, three days after he was arrested.

The Chongqing Evening News reported that he had died suddenly after drinking hot water. Other reports said he had been taken to hospital after becoming ill during questioning.
