The mystery shrouding the death of Jackson takes a turn with sister La Toya claiming that the King of Pop was murdered for his 1 billion fortune.

This came after the Los Angeles police divulged that they did not rule out the homicide angle.

She said in a newspaper report, that the drug overdose was ‘foul play’ by a group who wanted to take away the one billion pound fortune of Michael Jackson.

In her words, “Michael was murdered. And we don't think just one person was involved. Rather, it was a conspiracy of people. I feel it was all about money. Michael was worth well over a billion pounds in music publishing assets and somebody killed him for that. He was worth more dead than alive.”

She also vowed not to rest till she found who was responsible for her brother’s death. La Toya also claimed, “I can’t say who I believe is responsible as I don’t want to jeopradise the police investigation. But not everybody had Michael's best interests at heart. A month ago, I felt Michael was going to die before he did his London concerts.”
