Milly Dowler case

The Milly Dowler case involves the kidnapping and murder of 13-year-old Milly Dowler in 2002, whose remains were found months later. The case gained further attention when it was revealed that journalists hacked her mobile phone messages, including deleted voicemails, to gather information. This unethical behavior by journalists, particularly from News of the World, sparked a public outrage and led to widespread investigations into media practices. The scandal exposed serious breaches of privacy and resulted in significant police and legal reforms regarding journalistic conduct and phone hacking.
