Phone of Brazilian shot by police hacked

DETECTIVES have told a cousin of the young Brazilian shot dead by police marksmen at Stockwell Tube station in 2005 his number was found on the phone-hacking list of a News of the World private investigator.

Other people connected to Jean Charles de Menezes fear they too may have been targeted.

Relatives, campaigners and members of the family’s legal team have given police their phone numbers so officers can check whether they were victims of hacking.
