Phone-Hacking Scandal Rocks News of the World: Murky Past Exposed
- Tuesday, 05 July 2011
The parents of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, two girls who were murdered in 2002, were visited by police investigating phone-hacking claims. The investigation was sparked by allegations that private investigator Glenn Mulcaire hacked into Milly Dowler's phone while she was missing in 2002. Mulcaire apologized to anyone "hurt or upset" by his actions. News International has promised the "strongest possible action" if it is proven that Milly's phone was hacked, and executives privately acknowledge that basic allegations are true.
