Paramedics who attended the scene of Dr David Kelly's death have cast doubt that the weapons expert committed suicide. The scientist was found dead with his wrists slashed after attending an inquiry into claims the Government sexed-up evidence to back the war on Iraq. But two paramedics, Dave Bartlett and Vanessa Hunt, who were called to the scene of Dr Kelly's death in a field near his Oxfordshire home in July last year, dispute the Hutton Inquiry's verdict of suicide. Ms Hunt is quoted in a national newspaper as saying: There wasn't alot of blood. When you cut an artery, accidentally or intentionally the blood pumps everywhere." "I just think its incredibly unlikely he died from the wrist wound we saw."

At the time of his death Dr Kelly was under pressure after being revealed as the source of a report alleging the Government's dossier on Iraq had been "sexed-up".
