Further Statement - Sally and Bob Dowler

13/12/2011

The Dowlers stand by the statement which was made on their behalf at the end of last week. They have a clear recollection that the police told them that the News of the World had listened to their missing daughter's voicemail and deleted some of the messages. They have asked all of the press to leave them alone and, while they remain willing to help Lord Leveson, they do not propose to make any further statement.Issued through Taylor Hampton Solicitors
