Met Police probe Serbian assassin in Jill Dando murder case
"The twice-convicted killer is serving 40 years in prison in Serbia. Scotland Yard told the Daily Mirror, which carried out an investigation: No unsolved murder is ever closed and detectives are assessing this information to understand whether it's a new and realistic line of enquiry. Jill Dando was killed in 1999 The newspaper said the original CCTV is believed to be buried somewhere in 223 boxes of material in Metropolitan Police deep storage."
"Certified forensic video analyst Emi Polito has compiled a report comparing a navy blue striped tie with a distinctive design just like the one worn by Man X. Mr Polito found the most significant similarity between them is a number of dark tones in the light stripes of Man X's tie which mirror Ulemek's. Other similarities were the general form and style, the appearance of it under the knot and three dark stripes which are broadly similar size and tone."
Detectives are assessing information that jailed Serbian assassin Milorad Ulemek may be linked to the unsolved 1999 murder of Jill Dando. A newly unearthed picture reportedly shows Ulemek wearing a navy blue striped tie that matches one worn by a man caught on CCTV near the Fulham scene. The original CCTV is believed to be stored among 223 boxes in Metropolitan Police deep storage and modern forensic imaging could enable identification. Forensic video analyst Emi Polito compared the ties and identified several similarities in stripe tones, form, knot appearance and stripe pattern. Ulemek is twice-convicted, serving 40 years in Serbia, and previously led a squad targeting opponents of Slobodan Milosevic. The Dando probe was one of the UK's largest homicide investigations and prosecution was affected by reliance on a single speck of firearms residue.
