'Serbian criminal killed Jill Dando'Scotland Yard are investigating claims that Jill Dando was killed by a Serbian gunman.
Several witnesses have come forward saying they heard a West Midlands criminal of Serbian descent boast he shot the TV presenter.
During a drinking session in Belgrade he said her murder was an act of revenge for the bombing of the city by Nato in 1999, it is reported.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: "After the trial we said any new lines of inquiry that are generated we will look at. We are not commenting on specific lines of inquiry."
Miss Dando, 37, was shot once in the head outside her home in Fulham, south west London, on April 26, 1999.
Barry George was acquitted of her murder during a retrial last year. He spent eight years behind bars for the crime.
After his acquittal, Scotland Yard said it was keeping the murder investigation open as a top detective was given the go-ahead to review evidence to find new leads.
The way Miss Dando was killed led to theories that she might have been targeted by a professional hitman - possibly hired by a criminal imprisoned due to publicity on BBC's Crimewatch programme, which she presented.
But it was also suggested during Mr George's first trial that her death could have been revenge for Nato air strikes on the former Yugoslavia

I can't help but think if her killing was in revenge for a high profile case then that would have been made public that by the organisation that ordered the 'hit', otherwise what would be the point.
