The Murder of Jill Dando

The Murder of Jill Dando investigates the killing of English journalist and Crimewatch presenter Jill Dando on her own doorstep over two decades ago, in a crime that shocked the nation. The murder sent shockwaves across the country due to Dando’s popularity with the British public, with even the Queen commenting on her death. The case is among Britain’s most mysterious because it remains unsolved.

The documentary takes place twenty years after Dando’s murder and aims to shed light on the circumstances surrounding her death. Investigations soon after the murder led to the wrongful conviction of Barry George, who spent eight years in prison before his innocence was proven and his conviction overturned. The film features never-before-seen material and interviews with people involved in the case, including friends, family, and detectives, asking questions in the hope that answers may be found after so many years of mystery.
