Murdoch Apologises To Milly Dowler's Family
Rupert Murdoch has apologised personally to Milly Dowler's family over claims the murdered girl's voicemails were accessed illegally by the News Of The World.
It is alleged the Sunday tabloid hacked into the teenager's mobile after she was abducted in 2002, when Rebekah Brooks was editor.
Messages were deleted to make room for more recordings, it is claimed, and this gave the family false hope that she was still alive.
Mrs Brooks has resigned as News International chief executive after coming under increasing pressure since the allegations about Milly's phone emerged a couple of weeks ago.
Mrs Brooks denies any knowledge of the alleged wrongdoing.
Mr Murdoch has also written an apology over the phone hacking scandal which will appear in national newspapers on Saturday.
