TEDDY RILEY BELIEVES MJ WAS MURDERED
Nov 6th, 2009 by Bilal Ali
Producer Teddy Riley has given weight to LaToya Jackson’s belief that her brother Michael was murdered, after revealing the King of Pop had named potential suspects in the event of his death.
“He mentioned it to me a few times… like people were out to kill him… and he would say names, saying these are the people who are trying to kill me,” Riley told the National Enquirer.
As soon as news of Jackson’s passing broke, Riley said he immediately called the singer’s family to alert them to the possibility he might have been killed.
“I said, ‘Listen, he was murdered. Somebody didn’t like something Jackson said or something he’s doing or didn’t want him to go to the top, so they had to get rid of him.’ We’ve got so many people we think it could be. It’s going to come out. You’re going to find out.”
Jackson passed away from a drug overdose on June 25, just days before he was due to launch a concert residency in London. His death has been ruled a homicide and Los Angeles police are focusing their investigation on the superstar’s personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray.
La Toya has long maintained her younger brother was murdered.
