Fearsome words in old English detective movies. How much the Yard will be able to do in investigating Bhutto's death is problematic. The crime scene evidence has been washed away. Her husband has ruled out an autopsy. The cooperation local authorities will give is questionable. But it sounds good and has been used before.
Twice before Scotland Yard has been called in to investigate an assassination in Pakistan. They made exactly zero progress. Will this time be any different except to make it seem that Musharraf is trying to clear up the mystery?

I believe your last sentence is the crux here. All evidence has been removed from the crime scene. Unless a post-mortem can be forced, there is no way to ascertain for sure how she died. I agree that this investigation will go the way of others in Pakistan, and that of Hariri in Lebanon. Political killings at this level are conveniently never resolved.
