New theory on Milly voicemails

Detectives in Britain think it “unlikely” that News International journalists deleted voicemail from a mobile phone belonging to murdered teenager Milly Dowler, a lawyer told an inquiry into press standards today.

Police believe it “most likely” that space was created when messages automatically dropped out of the mailbox, 72 hours after 13-year-old Milly, of Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, vanished in 2002, the Leveson Inquiry heard.
