Omnicom Press Author's Report Analyzes Problem with Litvinenko Murder Inquest

NEW BRITAIN, Conn. - May 22, 2013 - PRLog -- The American University in Moscow has published a report by Omnicom Press author William Dunkerley. It is titled, "British Litvinenko Coroner Goes Rogue." In it, Dunkerley asserts that the coroner in the Alexander Litvinenko death case is refusing to do his job, and is instead pursuing "a personal who-done-it crusade."

Dunkerley's report examines the U.K. Ministry of Justice's rules for coroners. They prohibit the coroner from conducting a criminal investigation to establish culpability for a death, says Dunkerley. But "Coroner Robert Owen seems to be doing everything those rules tell him not to do," Dunkerley explains in his report.

Dunkerley points out that coroners are directed to determine how a deceased person died. In his report Dunkerley asks, was Litvinenko's death an accident, a suicide, a murder? These are the questions Owen is refusing to answer, Dunkerley asserts.

Dunkerley is the author of The Phony Litvinenko Murder published by Omnicom Press. The book examines mainstream news reports that claimed Litvinenko was a former spy murdered with radioactive polonium on orders of Russian president Vladimir Putin. Dunkerley says, "Those reports were based on fabrications produced by an arch enemy of Putin's and are not fact based."

Dunkerley recounts that there never has been an official verdict that Litvinenko's death was a homicide. Yet, he says, Coroner Owen is directing his efforts toward looking for the murderer of someone who may not have been murdered.
