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.”
