Who Remembers Jill Dando Being Murdered In 1999?

[ladybirder]

I remember it very well. There is a Netflix documentary coming out in September if you're interested? Wondering if it throws any light on who killed her and why.

Isnt someone in prison for it?

[Hazlinny]

Barry George was arrested, tried and sent to prison but, after a retrial in 2008, he was released.
Should be a good watch.

That wasn't a murder, it was an assassination.

I remember it like it was yesterday. She popped to buy some Dover soles on the way home for her dinner. She was engaged to a Gynaecologist called Alan Farthing.

an assassination? well i've heard some moronic *** in my time but you get the jaffa cake me old china

[Hymie]

I’m guessing it was someone who the Crime Watch programme resulted in them being nicked (or carried out at their behest) – but that’s a large pool of suspects.

The incompetent police, getting nowhere and allocating loads of resources to the case decide to fit someone up for the crime – job done.

[LadyCG]

Educate yourself on the case, Tora. You're the one who sounds like a moron.

I don't think any light will be thrown, it's just her turn to be the subject of a cheap to make TV programme.

The prosecution at the 2001 trial, however, dismissed the Serbian hitman theory as “headline grabbing … Utter nonsense”.

And while the hitman theory still has its adherents, a number of subsequent reports have cast doubt upon it.

[LadyCG]

There was more than one hitman theory, not just the Serbian one.

One theory is that Jill was killed by a hit man but she was not the target.

The theory goes her neighbour, Lisa Brinkworth, was the target.

19.22 i was under the impression that the only people who can get assassinated are world leaders! Maybe i´m behind the times!

[LadyCG]

Was Martin Luther King a World Leader then?

[Barsel]

Of course, she was killed by a hitman. Only a hitman would shoot someone the way she was shot.
I've never heard the story about her being mistaken for this other woman, but if that is the case, why haven't they been able to prove it since it happened?
If it was meant to be for Jill Dando, I had my suspicions of who might want her dead, but nothing has ever been proved.
Unless they have new evidence, I probably won't watch it as it has been covered on the TV before.

[ladybirder]

LCG sort of.

King is widely regarded as America's pre-eminent advocate of nonviolence and one of the greatest nonviolent leaders in world history. Drawing inspiration from both his Christian faith and the peaceful teachings of Mahatma Gandhi, Dr.

[Barsel]

Just wanted to say Jill Dando worked for the BBC.
Another cover-up by them? Possibly.

[Peter Pedant]

but you get the jaffa cake me old china
dear old TTT

was he the one whining he cdnt understand my posts?

oh well, normal AB on a Friday then

[Peter Pedant]

and the peaceful teachings of Mahatma Gandhi, Dr.

oh, that must have been why there were only 250 000 deaths during partition 1947 - because if he were war-like there wd have been many more.....

perhaps Gandhi knew as he spoke of peace and love, that his followers might be doing seomthng else

deffo AB on a Friday

[Peter Pedant]

who can get assassinated are world leaders!

yeah 1976 I was told Prof Hamilton Fairley the cancer specialist wasnt assassinated by the IRA for this reason. He was dead by the way.
It has to be the right fella, and with a political end - AIrey neave DID get assassinated but the two unfortunates on London Bridge equaly dead, werent

[retrocop]

I recall her murder very well. I had driven my wife and late F.I.L to Shepherds Bush Market and we were driving home towards Putney Bridge. We were in the Fulham Palace Road passing Charing Cross Hospital when we heard of her murder on the car radio. A minute later we passed the the road where she was shot.

[ladybirder]

Wow Retro. I lived in Putney at the time and used to drive up the Fulham Palace Road to work. We might have passed each other all those years ago. That's probably happened to plenty on here. Gosh I do say some daft things I'll go and make a drink.

[ToraToraTora]

ladycg, ok I'm all ears why is it an "assassination" ? you do know what constitutes an assassination? rigt?
