Relatives to attend retrial in Dando murder case

CORK and Limerick relatives of Barry George who is accused of murdering TV presenter Jill Dando, will travel to the Old Bailey on June 3, when a retrial ordered by the court of appeal is due to commence.

The Court of Appeal in London quashed the 2001 conviction of Mr George after the Criminal Cases Review Commission undermined a fundamental piece of evidence.

His uncle and aunt who live in Limerick and Cork have been campaigning for his release. Mr George was not given bail pending the new trial.
