Phone hacking scandal

Phone hacking scandal: senior News of the World reporter arrested

 A senior reporter at the News of the World has been arrested by detectives investigating the phone-hacking scandal. 

James Weatherup, who has also worked as a news editor with the Sunday tabloid, is being questioned at a London police station, sources said.

The journalist is the third person arrested since the Metropolitan Police reopened their inquiry into claims that staff at the top-selling newspaper hacked into the answerphone messages of celebrities and politicians.

Mr Weatherup was arrested by Scotland Yard's Operation Weeting team on suspicion of unlawfully intercepting mobile phone voicemail messages.

A police spokesman said a 55-year-old man was arrested at 8am and taken to a London police station.

"He remains in custody for questioning after being arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to unlawfully intercept communications," he added.

 "The Operation Weeting team is conducting the new investigation into phone-hacking. It would be inappropriate to discuss any further details regarding this case at this time."

The arrest further underlines the Metropolitan Police's determination to investigate the scandal thoroughly after criticism that an earlier inquiry was inadequate.
Neville Thurlbeck, 50, and Ian Edmondson, 42, were held by earlier this month and have been released on police bail to return in September.
Mr Weatherup has worked on national papers for 25 years, according to his LinkedIn webpage.
"My posts include reporter, chief reporter, deputy news editor and news editor of The People and News of the World newspapers," he writes.
"As well as breaking exclusive stories, managing huge budgets, I also advised stars on PR and media-related matters."

Scotland Yard has endured repeated criticism over its handling of the original phone-hacking inquiry, which led to the conviction of News of the World royal editor Clive Goodman and private investigator Glenn Mulcaire in 2007.
The paper's former editor, Andy Coulson, resigned as Prime Minister David Cameron's director of communications in January as he admitted that the ongoing row about the affair was making his job impossible.
Days later the Met launched a fresh investigation, code-named Weeting, after receiving "significant new information" from News International.
Last week, eight people who had made claims against the News of the World, including actress Sienna Miller and former culture secretary Tessa Jowell, received apologies from the newspaper.
The joint statement came as it emerged that News International has written to another nine claimants in the phone-hacking scandal, asking them to provide further evidence that journalists intercepted their voicemails.

Facebook and Twitter to be Included in Curriculum for Student Detectives

Oh my God, for once I feel I was a trend setter. I have worked very hard on my investigative skills with no formal training and so I know how significant it it in deriving the facts.

I came across this post that now facebook and twitter are officially put on the curriculum for student detectives as it will help them solve many cases especially those including rape, molestation, sexual abuse, cyber bullying etc. This was an area that was not covered properly but through proper training in the future detectives would also focus on these networks thoroughly to find the truth and catch criminals.
