... which Rebekah Brooks gave her as a gift.

Sara Payne, whose eight-year-old daughter Sarah was abducted and murdered in July 2000, has been told by Scotland Yard that they have found evidence to suggest she was targeted by the News of the World's investigator Glenn Mulcaire, who specialised in hacking voicemail.

Police had earlier told her correctly that her name was not among those recorded in Mulcaire's notes, but on Tuesday officers from Operation Weeting told her they had found her personal details among the investigator's notes. These had previously been thought to refer to a different target.

The evidence that police have found in Mulcaire's notes is believed to relate to a phone given to Sara Payne by Rebekah Brooks as a gift to help her stay in touch with her supporters. One of Payne's close colleagues said: "We are all appalled and disgusted. Sara is in bits about it."

I'm trying hard to think of a comment that doesn't include the phrase "fucking evil bitch" so I'll just stick to pointing out that Brooks did say to the NOTW staff there was much worse to come out. This must be at least some of it.
