My brother was denied justice, says killer's sister

THE sister of an Irishman found guilty of murdering TV presenter Jill Dando said her brother had been denied justice yesterday after he lost his appeal against the conviction in a London court.

Michelle Diskin, sister of Ms Dando’s killer Barry George, 42, said she was appalled by the decision of three judges not to grant the appeal.

“This is just compounding the travesty that was last year’s conviction. This is not justice. This could happen to anybody - your brother, your aunt, your child - because they have taken evidence and used it and there’s no evidence to convict Barry. This is just appalling,” Mrs Diskin said.
