Holly Goodhead:
It appears there are two aspects to this theory:
- Retaliation for the NATO bombing of Radio Television of Serbia HQ (RTS)
- Jill's appeal in aid of the 'Kosovo Crisis'

Holly Goodhead:
Is it really feasible that a Serb(s), anywhere in the world, would go out of his/her/their way to murder a BBC presenter in the UK because she was fronting up an appeal in aid of Kosovans?
It seems from the above clip the appeal was made over the Easter weekend '99 which fell on 2nd - 5th Apr. Jill was murdered on 26th April. In this scenario the perp(s) would have some 24 days to plan the murder.
Can anyone think of an example, anywhere in the world, where someone appealing for aid to support some cause has been murdered by some opposing group or person?
John:
The widow of a Serbian journalist, murdered in almost identical circumstances, has come forward to say she is convinced Miss Dando was shot by a hitman acting on orders from the Serbian dictator Slobodan Milosevic.
Branka Prpa, a historian, believes Miss Dando became a target after presenting a BBC appeal on behalf of Kosovan-Albanian refugees driven from their homes by militias backing Milosevic.
Mrs Prpa was with her husband, Slavko Curuvija when he was shot dead outside their home in Belgrade on April 11, 1999 – just 15 days before Miss Dando, 37, was killed in Fulham, west London.
She said: “I think there is a link between Dando and Curuvija. I think they were both executed.”
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, Mrs Prpa pointed to a number of striking similarities between the two murders.
