It is difficult to believe that the Jill Dando murder remains unsolved.
A much-loved presenter was assassinated on her doorstep in Fulham, southwest London in broad daylight. How could 'the golden girl of British TV’ be lying dead outside her front door, a single bullet wound to her head, the keys to her BMW convertible still in her hand.Like most journalists working back then, I remember exactly where I was when I first heard the news.
Tony Blair, Prime Minister at the time, paid tribute, along with the then Home Secretary Jack Straw and even the Queen. It would involve the taking of 2,400 statements, the tracing of 1,200 cars and the investigation of 2,000 potential suspects. Was it because of something involved in her personal life? a local gangster or even a Serbian hitman upset because of the reporting on Crimewatch?Fortunately advances in crime-fighting technology mean previously unsolved cases are now finally be resolved.
