New Murder Suspect Accused in Death of Brian Jones
- Posted on Sep 15th 2009 11:30AM by John D. Luerssen
Allegations surrounding the 1969 death of Rolling Stones guitarist Brian Jones continue in the weeks since British cops announced plans to re-examine the case. According to Reuters, the band's former road manager accused a former chauffer of killing the guitarist. Sam Cutler claims the band's now-deceased driver, Tom Keylock, was responsible. Keylock allegedly wheedled a deathbed confession some 16 years ago out of his friend, Frank Thorogood, a builder working at Jones' house who immediately became a prime suspect in the case.
While there is no hard evidence tying either Keylock or Thorogood to the rocker's death in his own swimming pool, Cutler claims Keylock behaved suspiciously in the ensuing days, removing or destroying items at Jones' estate. Cutler also says Keylock was the only suspect in a private investigation that Allen Klein, the Stones' manager at the time, commissioned because he had little confidence in the local police.
"He investigated Brian's murder with all the resources he had available to him and Klein thought that Brian had been murdered," Cutler wrote on his blog. "Tom Keylock was the prime (and only) suspect named in that report." Keylock and Klein both died this past July, leaving Jones' passing -- officially deemed "Death by misadventure" -- a long-standing mystery. When pressed for a statement by Reuters, representatives for Klein's ABKCO Music label and the Stones declined to comment.
As for Keylock's motive, Cutler told Reuters in an interview, "My gut feeling is that he was ripping Brian off on some
level or another."

utube had the psychic detective doing the brian jones case which was preceded this page by 5 months the curious thing is that on the utube show he makes mention that one of the murders was a driver and now this story makes mention the driver has been accused of brian jones death and the speculation is it had to do with money as the psychic had stated in the show ,probably more answers could be attained if they can find out who was the female brian had been seeing who was in the house the night of brian jones death

For real...I am more than happy not be the reincarnation of Brian, but it's always been eerie knowing this all happened so close to my birth...geographically and chronologically.

Ah.... but is he still dead? Come on folks. That death bed thing is hard to debate. I don't think anyone meant to kill him... things just got 'out of hand.' That happens sometimes, YA KNOW?

I've always been fascinated about the death of Brian Jones. I was born on the day of his death, 7-3-69, 2 miles from the drowning. I have often wondered am I the reincarnation of Brian Jones?...based on my lack of musical talent...my verdict is no. Peace.

For real Joe?!
Now that's very freaky. No doubt this subject is close to your ... um, dunno. But, I don't think you'd truly wish to be reincarnated as Brian Jones. You'd only end up gettin' murdered. Bummer. :(

I second that!

Nothing like defiling a dead mans name by accusing him of a murder that happened 40 years ago. Classy!

Of course he did... and?
This was before OJ was into slashing, though.
