Firearms expert says £55 ‘modified’ gun could have killed Dando

TELEVISION presenter Jill Dando could have been killed with a gun which cost just £55 (€69), the Old Bailey has heard.

The Bruni 8mm blank firing “government automatic” bought by accused Barry George was modified to fire live rounds, according to the prosecution.

It could have been the gun used to shoot Dando, 37, through the head on her doorstep in Fulham, west London, in 1999, according to a firearms expert.
