A MAN accused of murdering a teenager in 1991 has convictions for the murder of another young woman and sex attacks on two schoolgirls, a court heard yesterday.

THE meticulously planned killing of television presenter Jill Dando could be considered the “perfect crime” — but could not have been carried out by “local nutter” Barry George.

BARRY George faces a wait to find out if his appeal against his conviction for the murder of TV presenter Jill Dando has been successful.

THE case against Barry George for the murder of TV presenter Jill Dando remains compelling, the prosecution told three appeal judges in England yesterday.

THIS IS Barry George’s second appeal over a jury’s 2001 verdict that he shot 37-year-old BBC News, Crimewatch and Holiday presenter Jill Dando on the steps of her home in Fulham, south-west London, in April 1999.

The jury that convicted Barry George of murdering TV presenter Jill Dando was misled by a microscopic speck of gunfire residue of “zero” importance, three appeal judges were told today.

The woman arrested today with police liaison officer Brian Stevens was Louise Austin, an administrator with the Crown Prosecution Service, who had a relationship with Stevens before he married, according to reports.

Appeal court judges have ruled Michael Stone must face a retrial over the murders of Lin and Megan Russell.
