Hero journalist Nick Davies has uncovered more nauseating details of the Murdoch Hacking Scandal. From his article earlier today in The Guardian:
Sara Payne, whose eight-year-old daughter Sarah was abducted and murdered in July 2000, has been told by Scotland Yard that they have found evidence to suggest she was targeted by the News of the World's investigator Glenn Mulcaire, who specialised in hacking voicemail.
Police had earlier told her correctly that her name was not among those recorded in Mulcaire's notes, but on Tuesday officers from Operation Weeting told her they had found her personal details among the investigator's notes. These had previously been thought to refer to a different target.

It gets even more revolting -- the targeted phone was a gift to the grieving mother from Murdoch's paper, ostensibly so she could stay in touch with supporters and proponents of a newly conceived anti-child-abduction law.
The evidence that police have found in Mulcaire's notes is believed to relate to a phone given to Payne by Brooks to help her stay in touch with her supporters.
On Thursday night Brooks insisted the phone had not been a personal gift but had been provided to Payne by the News of the World "for the benefit of the campaign for Sarah's law".
This story was diaried earlier by our dear blue aardvark, but appears to have slipped through the cracks:
