Family of man wrongly convicted of Jill Dando's murder 'have no faith' in police probe

Barry George's sister, Michelle Diskin Bates, said that she always thought police knew that her freed brother, now 62, was not guilty of killing the Crimewatch presenter.

Documents now submitted to a Paris court suggest that Jill may have been killed in error in 1999 by a Russian hitman who meant to target another BBC journalist.
