George hopes Dando’s killer found

Barry George, the man who was wrongly jailed and served eight years for Jill Dando’s murder, has spoken of his hope to see her killer face justice.

Mr George, 53, who was refused legal permission to continue his appeal for compensation last week, said: “I hope it’s in my lifetime that the real killer is caught.”

In an interview over the weekend he said: “A massive cheer went up at Belmarsh Prison when I was cleared but my first thoughts were of her not getting justice and for her family.
