'Breakthrough in Jill Dando murder after 27 years brings hope for justice'

'Breakthrough in Jill Dando murder after 27 years brings hope for justice' "A fresh probe will use state-of-the-art technology to look back to the day of the murder. CCTV enhancement could give investigators fresh eyes on the events" After nearly three decades, police may be close to a breakthrough in the murder of Jill Dando. A fresh probe will use state-of-the-art technology to look back to the day of the murder. CCTV enhancement could give investigators fresh eyes on the events. And after the Mirror's three-year investigation into the senseless crime, we welcome this new development, whatever it uncovers. The original investigation was one of the biggest ever undertaken by the Met. Yet despite thousands of hours of work by dozens of officers, the wrong man was caught and convicted. After so long, many didn't dare hope a fresh breakthrough with new evidence would be possible. What everyone desperately hopes for is that which has been denied for 27 long years - Justice for Jill. At the very least, new information could bring some measure of closure and comfort for her family after so many years. Yvette Cooper's horror at maternity care We share Yvette Cooper's horror at the deepening crisis in NHS maternity care. This has been brought into sharp focus by a harrowing and avoidable tragedy. A mum in North Devon had to make her own way to another hospital because her nearest maternity unit is closed - only to be told her baby had died. The hospital was closed due to being short staffed - but it followed a string of failures in care and communication. But it's far from the only case, and North Devon District is far from the only hospital where patients have been let down. New mums deserve better than to face giving birth in the back of a car in a lay-by. Proper standards that can be relied upon by women across the country are long overdue, and it's good that this will be among the first issues she tackles as Health Secretary.
