Jill Wendy Dando was an English journalist, television presenter and newsreader. She was shot dead outside her home in Fulham, London, on 26 April 1999. Her death prompted the biggest murder inquiry conducted by the Metropolitan Police. Barry George was convicted and imprisoned for Dando's murder, but after eight years in prison he was acquitted following an appeal and retrial. In 2012, Serbian "warlord" Arkan was named as a suspect in the case, although he had died in 2000.
