Murdoch and the Brazilian murdered by police
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/blog/2011/jul/14/phone-hacking-scandal-live-coverage
<snip>
Here's the letter from the Menezes family to David Cameron and ccd to Nick Clegg, Ed Miliband, and Keith Vaz, the chairman of the home affairs select committee. The letter calls upon the PM to extend the remit to the inquiry into the phone hacking scandal to scrutinise whether police officers involved in the Menezes investigation were leaking information to the press, either for financial benefit or in an effort to defend the reputation of the Metropolitan police.

In the letter, the family say the telephone number of a member of the Menezes family was found on the phone hacking list of the private investigator Glenn Mulcaire. The family's legal team have now submitted the names and telephone numbers of others who may have been potential targets of illegal phone hacking by Mulcaire on behalf of News of the World, including other relatives of Jean Charles de Menezes, representatives from the Justice4Jean campaign and members of their legal team.

The family say they have a "deep concern" about the relationship between Andy Hayman, the now-retired police officer in charge of the first phone hacking inquiry, and News International. Since leaving the police, Hayman has written for the Times, which is owned by NI.
