40 - The Assassination of Jill Dando
Episode description
On Monday, April 26th, 1999, at approximately 11:30 AM, BBC presenter Jill Dando approached the front door of her house in Fulham, London. As she was about to put her keys into the lock, someone grabbed her from behind. He forced Jill Dando to the ground, so her face was almost touching the front step. According to one of Britain’s leading pathologists, the assailant then used his left hand to fire a single shot into Dando’s left temple. She died instantly.
Jill Dando was beloved among the British public. Her murder brought shock and confusion; why would anyone want to kill a newsreader? But 21 years, plenty of theories, and one overturned conviction later, the case of Jill Dando’s murder remains unsolved.
