LaToya Jackson Says Michael Was Murdered

 

In a new interview with Britain’s News of The World, LaToya Jackson, one of the late Michael Jackson’s sisters, claims the King of Pop was murdered for his fortune.

She says he was purposely killed by those closest to him in a bid to get hold of his mega-bucks music publishing catalogues, which she insists are worth well over a $1 billion and she adds she first became suspicious MJ had been murdered after discovering around $2 million in cash and jewelry were missing from his Los Angeles home following his death.

In her 4 hour interview she says “Michael was murdered,” though refusing to name the people she believes are responsible for the death.

“We don’t think just one person was involved in the murder.  It was a conspiracy to get Michael’s money.”

She says in the months leading up to his London performances, Michael told her that he was on a six-month detox to prepare for his comeback, but LaToya says she had other suspicions.

“Michael was being inappropriately treated by people who got him hooked on drugs,” she told the News of the World. “He had many needle marks on his neck and on his arms, and more about those will emerge in the next few weeks. But nothing has changed my mind that this was murder.”

“Michael always had cash in his homes, usually around $2 million which he used to pay out on things. People said he wasn’t wealthy, but Michael always had money with him.”

“When I went to the house later that day there was no cash or jewelry. So many people had been through that house before I got there. Someone went in there and did a good job. It was very strange.”

And LaToya reveals that Jackson himself always feared for his life and suspected people were “out to get him” in order to take over the rights of his own mega-hits, as well as a huge portion of the Beatles’ back-catalogue.

“A couple of years ago Michael told me he was worried that people were out to get him. He said, ‘They’re gonna kill me for my publishing. They want my catalogues and they’re gonna kill me for these.’

“I knew something terrible was going to happen.”

But out of it all she says even though this tragedy has left the Jackson family broken-hearted, “this has united the family.  We’re all in pain and suffering the loss of Michael … but we’re also determined to get to the bottom of what happened to him.”
