Dr David Kelly's wounds 'self-inflicted'

Previously secret evidence about the death of Iraq weapons expert Dr David Kelly suggests that he died as a result of a "self-inflicted injury".

The post-mortem report into his 2003 death, published on Friday, blamed blood loss after cuts to his left wrist, aided by a painkiller overdose and "silent" heart disease.

The report backs up Lord Hutton's verdict that he committed suicide.
