As the 25th anniversary of the murder of journalist Jill Dando looms, a potential link involving Serbian hitman Milorad Ulemek revitalizes the call for further investigation into the high-profile case that remains unsolved.
As the 25th anniversary of the murder of British journalist Jill Dando nears, a new lead involving Serbian hitman Milorad Ulemek has emerged. Ulemek, already incarcerated for other crimes, is now being considered in connection with the 1999 killing of Dando. Michael Mansfield KC, who previously defended Barry George, wrongfully convicted for Dando’s murder, has urged the Metropolitan Police to investigate this development.
Jill Dando, a celebrated BBC presenter of programmes such as Crimewatch and Breakfast News, was murdered outside her home, a crime that profoundly impacted the UK and drew massive media attention. The wrongful conviction of Barry George added to the case’s complexity, which has remained unsolved despite extensive investigative efforts.
Over time, various theories about the murder have surfaced, including the possibility of a professional assassination linked to Serbian criminals. With renewed interest due to the anniversary and new leads, the call for a detailed investigation has intensified, maintaining public engagement with the case and hopes for eventual resolution.
