Michael Jackson was murdered and his killer will be caught soon, one of his closest friends in showbusiness says.
Teddy Riley, co-producer of Jackson's multi-platinum Dangerous album and founding member of R&B band Blackstreet, says he and Jackson's family are confident they know who the pop artist's killer is and that they will be caught soon.
Blackstreet were in Australia as VIP guests for Wednesday's premiere of the film about Jackson's life, This Is It.
Asked if Jackson was murdered, Riley says: "I said that the first day.
"I called the family and I said listen, `He was murdered'.
"Somebody didn't like something he said or something he's doing or didn't want him to go to the top so they had to get rid of him."
