One or more News of the World journalists deleted voicemails from murdered teenager Milly Dowler's mobile phone, the Leveson Inquiry into press standards heard today.
Guardian journalist Nick Davies said private investigator Glenn Mulcaire was the "facilitator" of the hacking of the schoolgirl's phone by the now-defunct Sunday paper.
He told the inquiry: "Mulcaire facilitated the hacking by one or more News of the World journalists.
"And
our understanding of the facts is that it was one or more of the News
of the World journalists who then had to delete the messages in order to
enable more to come through."
Mulcaire was jailed
along with the News of the World's former royal editor Clive Goodman in
January 2007 after they admitted intercepting voicemail messages left on
phones belonging to royal aides. Read Here
