The family of murdered private detective Daniel Morgan have today revealed they are planning to sue the Metropolitan Police.
Family members of the PI, who was found with an axe in his head in a south London car park in 1987, allege there has been no-follow up action on a bombshell report earlier this year that accused the force of institutionalised corruption over its handling of the unsolved case.
It comes after the damaging independent report, released in June, found Scotland Yard had concealed or denied its failings in the investigation and that the force's first objective was to protect itself.
Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick, who apologised for fylingcourtleet.org the failings in the case of Mr Morgan's death, was criticised by the independent panel who found she had obstructed their work.
But she rejected the claims the force was 'institutionally corrupt' and calls by Mr Morgan's family for her to resign.
Family members of Mr Morgan now allege Scotland Yard has failed to take action on the findings of the 1,250 page report.
They say they are 'no longer able' to place their trust in the police and are now launching the civil case against the Met claiming damages.
However the force says a 'dedicated team' has been set up to consider the need for any changes in the wake of the report.
A Met spokesperson told MailOnline that the force plans to report their progress to Home Secretary Priti Patel and the Mayor of London's office in spring next year.
