Thanks for posting this George although this article really merits it's own thread.


But the Assistant Chief Constable intervened and blocked me from meeting the Stones’ lawyers. The ACC drew a line under it.

The statements made to Sussex Police by Jan Bell should have led to what the police call standard “trace and eliminate” work – to prove or disprove any information the police have been given, and to work out if something did or did not take place.

‘But I was told to put details of Jan Bell’s interview into a report, and that was it.’

The astounding allegation is the most startling piece of material that The Mail on Sunday has uncovered about Brian Jones’s death.

However, our enquiries have also brought to light further claims about what one band member may privately have suspected about it.

The Mail on Sunday has ascertained that as far back as the 1980s, Richards was aware of suspicions that Frank Thorogood killed Jones, and that Tom Keylock, a Stones manager, had led a cover-up.

Robert Greenfield, an American author and a former editor of Rolling Stone magazine, lived with Richards in the South of France in May 1971, during the recording of the Stones’ album Exile On Main Street.

Greenfield recorded hours of conversations with Richards during this period, which reveal that the guitarist was aware of the alleged cover-up that Keylock – who Richards called Mr Get-It-Together – put in place.

Richards told Greenfield about the aftermath of Jones’s death: ‘I wanted to know who was there and couldn’t find out. The only cat I could ask was the one I think got rid of everybody and did the whole disappearing trick so when the cops arrived, it was just an accident.

'Maybe it was. Maybe the cat just wanted to get everyone out of the way so it wasn’t all names involved, etc. Maybe he did the right thing, but I don’t know. I don’t even know who was there that night, and trying to find out is impossible.’

There is also new evidence that in the 1980s Richards was aware of Thorogood’s alleged involvement in Jones’s death, via Patrick Townshend, a former business partner of Mick Jagger and Bill Wyman.
