VICIOUS WAS INNOCENT

A former friend of late SEX PISTOL SID VICIOUS has accused the New York Police of wrongly accusing the punk rocker of murdering his girlfriend Nancy Spungen. The bassist was arrested over the fatal stabbing of Spungen in New York's Chelsea Hotel in 1978 - but the 21-year-old star died of heroin overdose the night he was released on bail. Steve Dior - who played with Vicious in a band called the Idols - says his former bandmate was the victim of a police "set up" and hopes to clear his name. He says, "Sid didn't kill Nancy, I know that for a fact. I know who did it. He was a drug dealer from New Jersey who robbed the flat where Nancy was stabbed. Why would Sid rob himself? "This guy's fingerprints were on the knife but New York Police didn't want to get into it. It was a case closed if they pinned it on Sid, they didn't care if Sid Vicious went to prison. I'm trying to tell more people about it."

I agree.. I definitely do not think that Sid stabbed Nancy... It's sad that Nancys' case was closed and it wasn't further investigated.. it was just automatically presumed that Sid did it because of their relationship at times being violent. But there was the subject of the missing payroll .. yes why would Sid rob himself. I've a couple of theories of my own. 1. It was played out just like the final scene in the Alex Cox movie, "Sid and Nancy" as Nancy was VERY capable of throwing herself on a knife.. She was a paranoid schizophrenic.. and as a child smashed her fists through storm glass windows.. she could have very well lunged the knife in herself. 2. Drug deal gone bad which was probably more then likely and Sid was the scapegoat and was just too whacked out of his mind to really take notice of anything going on. 3. One of the last things Sid said he remembered seeing was Nancy playing with the knife before he fell asleep... perhaps the knife was left open in the bed and during the night it was sticking up and it stabbed her she being so out of it probably didn't even feel it going in... They both were as far as I am concerned "decomposing" while they were still alive.. as Nancys kidneys were giving out.. one can only do so many drugs before it starts to shut down your internal organs. I personally think that this Cold Case should be reopened.. and since there are new technologies in DNA and all that.. but alas probably all the evidence has been long gone... I think in order to give Sid and yes even Nancy complete peace the real killer needs to be revealed...
