News of the World investigator may have targeted families of dead soldiers

[oldironside]

"Scotland Yard is investigating claims that families of members of the armed forces killed in Afghanistan and Iraq have been targeted by Glenn Mulcaire, a private investigator who worked for the News of the World.

The revelation is likely to further shock the public, who have already reacted with horror to news that the paper intercepted voicemails left on a phone belonging to murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler and targeted the phones of families of victims of the 7/7 attacks.

MPH Solicitors, whose clients include Samantha Roberts, the widow of Sergeant Steven Roberts of the 2nd Royal Tank Regiment, said they had been contacted on Wednesday by a newspaper and told Roberts's phone may have been hacked, along with a mobile belonging to Geraldine McCool, her lawyer."

No surprise really. If they're willing to make money on the grief of murder victims' families, they would surely have no qualms about exploiting dead soldier. So, where is it all going to stop?

That Mulcaire is one snakey guy, eh?

The screws are really going to have to keep a 24 hour watch on him when he's inside ....
