Hacking inquiry: Detective denies erasing Milly mails

Private detective Glenn Mulcaire tonight denied deleting messages from Milly Dowler’s phone as the murdered schoolgirl’s parents spoke of their agony over the hacking scandal.

The investigator is accused of illegally accessing the teenager’s voicemails after she went missing in 2002 but his solicitor said he had “no reason” to erase any of them.
