The mother of a murdered schoolgirl says she is considering legal action against journalist Martin Bashir after he took her daughter’s clothes for DNA testing for a BBC programme 30 years ago and never returned them.
Michelle Hadaway says not having the clothing may have hindered her pursuing her daughter’s killer in court and called for an apology from Mr Bashir.
In his interview in The Sunday Times, Mr Bashir was asked about the potentially crucial piece of evidence and replied: “I may have lost it but I don’t remember.”
Karen Hadaway and her friend Nicola Fellows were found sexually assaulted and strangled in a woodland den in Brighton in October 1986 in what became known as the Babes in the Wood murders.
