"A new police force has been drafted in to investigate claims a Cambridge graduate was allegedly thrown off a balcony after rowing with rock star Pete Doherty at a drug-fuelled house party. Mark Blanco, 30, plunged 11ft to the ground from a flat in Whitechapel and was found suffering from severe head injuries on December 3, 2006. But two years ago, a bombshell Channel 4 documentary,"
"Mrs Blanco told the Standard: I need answers and it's not just for Mark any more. This is a gross miscarriage of justice. Everybody who dies, or is murdered, or whatever, deserves this. There were only six people there, apart from Mark three men, three women. I think they all know what happened. Sheila Blanco with 'gifted' son Mark who died at a party attended by Pete Doherty"
"Doherty denies any involvement and later voluntarily attended a police station to be interviewed the Met, adding this year: I didn't kill him. City of London officers are looking into TV claims by FBI instructor Grant Fredericks who suggested another person had been on the balcony before Mr Blanco died. Mr Fredericks used groundbreaking 3D technology to analyse original CCTV footage of the fall to step back in time."
A new police unit is investigating claims that Cambridge graduate Mark Blanco was thrown from a Whitechapel balcony after a row with musician Pete Doherty at a drug-fuelled house party. Blanco, aged 30, fell about 11ft on December 3, 2006 and suffered severe head injuries before dying in hospital. Detectives initially suggested suicide; a coroner rejected that explanation in 2007 and recorded an open verdict. No one has been charged. Blanco's mother, Sheila, has campaigned for answers. City of London officers are examining television-linked claims and 3D analysis of CCTV footage suggesting another person may have been on the balcony.
