Pete Doherty, the Libertines frontman, has once again denied any involvement in the death of aspiring actor Mark Blanco, who fell from a balcony in 2006. Speaking on BBC Radio 4, Doherty expressed frustration at those who dispute the facts of the night, emphasizing that only those present can truly attest to what happened. Despite his denials, CCTV footage shows Doherty leaving the scene shortly after Blanco's fall.
Pete Doherty has insisted he 'didn't kill' aspiring actor Mark Blanco the night he fell to his death from a balcony. Mark, 30, fell from a property in Whitechapel, East London, where the Libertines frontman, 45, had been attending a party in December 2006. Rock star Pete has previously denied any knowledge of how Mark died but admitted to running away from the scene to avoid a run in with the police over drug possession.
And speaking to Kirsty Young on BBC Radio 4's Young Again show on Tuesday, Pete insisted he 'didn't kill' the actor and shared his frustration at people who weren't there disputing the facts of the night. 'It's frustrating for me really, because the facts are disputed - but not by anybody that was there,' he said. 'I didn't throw him out of a window, off a balcony, I didn't kill him. What do you want me to say?'
