Detectives meet to review Dando case

TOP Scotland Yard detectives met to discuss the “next steps” in the Jill Dando murder investigation.

Assistant commissioner John Yates, who led the cash-for-honours inquiry; detective chief superintendent Hamish Campbell, who was in charge of the original Dando inquiry; and commander Simon Foy, head of the Yard’s homicide and serious crime unit, were reviewing the case.

They will have to decide whether to relaunch the investigation in the wake of the acquittal of Barry George on Friday after a retrial at the Old Bailey.
