Scotland Yard has revealed that technological advances are allowing detectives to review old CCTV footage in connection with the unsolved 1999 murder of BBC broadcaster Jill Dando, according to a report by The Guardian.
Advances in CCTV enhancement technology have enabled investigators to return to 27-year-old footage from Putney Bridge Underground station, police said.
Part of an existing inquiry, not a new investigation
Detectives stressed that the review of the footage is part of the existing, long-running inquiry into Dando's killing rather than the launch of a new investigation.
Dando, a well-known BBC television presenter, was shot outside her home in 1999 in a case that has remained unsolved for over two decades, with detectives previously saying it may never be resolved.
Details on what specifically prompted this review of the Putney Bridge footage, or on any new leads that may result from it, were not included in the available report.
