Jill Dando may have been killed by mistake by a Russian hitman who meant to target another BBC journalist, documents submitted to a Paris court suggest.
Court papers claim the killer was hired by French fashion mogul Gerald Marie, accused of multiple counts of sexual assault, to murder another BBC journalist Lisa Brinkworth after she went undercover to expose his agency, Elite Model Management.
But the hitman could have mistaken Jill Dando for the actual target, the documents say.
