Inspector SPG constable Alan Murray White SPG constable SPG constable Lake Richardson IT'S OFFICIAL. Blair Peach was killed by a team of Special Patrol Group officers, led by Inspector Alan Murray. This is the conclusion of the investigation by the police's own investigation department, CIB 2.

The report of the police investigation, details of which have been published in the Sunday Times, reveals that Murray led the charge from the Special Patrol Group van in Orchard Avenue, Southall, where Blair Peach was killed late in the evening of 23 April last year.

Murray's team - including constables White, Freestone, Lake, Richardson, and Scottow — was a marauding band attacking Asians, West Indians, and other anti-fascist demonstrators as they made their way home from protesting against a National Front meeting.

Despite the conclusions of the police report and the fact that "unauthorised weapons', including lead and rubber coshes, were found in SPG lockers in Barnes, the Director of Public Prosecutions decided to take no action.

The circumstances sürrounding the report made by police commander John Cass reveal a major cover-up mounted by senior police officers to protect the SPG murderers. With the collusion of senior Scotland Yard officers, members of the SPG who were on duty in Southall refused to answer questions about what happened when Blair was killed.
