Paper hacked Milly phone - Police

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
23 January 2012 Last updated at 13:20 GMT Milly Dowler was abducted and murdered by Levi Bellfield in 2002 The News of the World got Milly Dowler's mobile phone number from school friends, says Surrey Police.

In a letter to MPs, the force says that in 2002 its officers did not give the newspaper messages from the murdered schoolgirl's voicemail.

The allegation that the newspaper accessed the phone is at the heart of the hacking investigation.

The document for MPs does not say why the force did not investigate the paper after learning it had hacked the phone.

The letter does not cover what happened to the voicemails and who was responsible for deletions, an event that gave the 13-year-old's parents false hope that she was still alive.

Last year, Surrey Police confirmed the News of the World called the force in April 2002 revealing it had a recording obtained by accessing the then-missing schoolgirl's voicemail.

In a detailed 16-page letter published by MPs, the force sets out a series of conversations at the height of the hunt for Milly Dowler, between Surrey Police and the News of the World.

Tearful call

A journalist from the newspaper contacted the force almost a month after her disappearance, revealing information relating to a specific voicemail, later discovered to be a red herring caused by a hoaxer.

The journalist said they knew it was a recording from Milly's phone because some of her friends had confirmed both her number and pin.

The reporter also told the police that other voicemail messages on Milly's phone included a "tearful relative", a young boy and someone saying "It's America, take it or leave it".

The officer stressed to the reporter the NoW was probably being subjected to a hoax.

In the letter, the force says: "The information [in the voicemail] was not provided to the NoW by Surrey Police. The NoW obtained that information by accessing Milly Dowler's voicemail. The message [referred to by the journalist] was left after Surrey Police had last [legally] accessed Milly Dowler's voicemail."

Last year, Surrey's then chief constable Mark Rowley defended his force's decision not to investigate the newspaper at the time that the journalist had spoken to the police.

In a letter to MPs, Mr Rowley said: "At that time, the focus and priority of the investigation was to find Milly, who had then been missing for over three weeks and significant resources were deployed to achieve this objective.

"I can confirm that Surrey Police did not launch a criminal investigation into how the NoW came by the information it provided Operation Ruby with in April 2002 and that Surrey Police neither arrested nor charged anyone in relation to accessing Milly Dowler's voicemail."

But he also revealed in the letter the force did not pass on this information to the Metropolitan Police during its original 2006 phone hacking investigation that led to the jailing of a journalist and private investigator.
