Killer waited an hour to strike
Article Abstract:
It is thought that police investigating the murder of television presenter Jill Dando believe that the crime was almost certainly committed by a professional killer. The murder was carried out with a hollow-point bullet fired from a 9mm handgun fitted with a silencer. There is a possibility that the murder was the result of a grudge against Dando because of her work with the 'Crimewatch' programme or that she was killed by a stalker.
