The Murder of Jill Dando
The Murder of Jill Dando investigates the unsolved killing of one of Britain’s best-known television presenters. In April 1999, BBC journalist and Crimewatch presenter Jill Dando was shot outside her London home, a murder that shocked the country and became one of Britain’s most notorious unsolved crimes.
The documentary revisits the investigation into Dando’s death, examining the unanswered questions, investigative failures and competing theories that have surrounded the case for more than two decades. It explores the controversial prosecution of Barry George, who was convicted of Dando’s murder before his conviction was overturned and he was acquitted at a retrial.
Featuring interviews with figures connected to the investigation, including former detectives, journalists and others familiar with the case, the film considers why Dando was targeted, how the original inquiry unfolded, and why her killer has never been identified.
