The chair of a panel investigating the 1987 Sydenham murder of a private detective has called for anyone who believes they may have information to come forward.

Daniel Morgan was found with an axe in his head in the Golden Lion pub car park  on March 10 1987.

An independent panel was set up by Home Secretary Theresa May in May 2013 after numerous inquiries at a cost of around £30 million failed to shed light on Mr Morgan's murder.

Scotland Yard has admitted that corruption was a ''debilitating factor'' in the first investigation.

Panel chair Baroness O'Loan said: "As we approach the 28th anniversary of Daniel Morgan's murder, the panel would like to hear from anyone who believes they may have information which is relevant to its work.

"If you believe you have any such information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, please contact the panel by email at: contactus@dmip.gsi.gov.uk."
