Met Police are re-examining enhanced Tube station footage nearly three decades after the BBC star's killing, as scrutiny intensifies around a controversial new suspect theory. Share For more than a quarter of a century, the murder of Jill Dando has haunted Britain. A single gunshot on a quiet Fulham street. No proven killer. No clear motive. And a trail of unanswered questions that continues to fascinate detectives, journalists and the public alike. Now, 27 years after the beloved BBC presenter was shot dead on her own doorstep, a fresh development has reignited interest in one of the country's most baffling unsolved crimes. The Metropolitan Police have confirmed they are re-examining CCTV footage captured shortly after Dando's murder, using modern enhancement technology that was unavailable when the investigation began in 1999.

Veteran actor and filmmaker Delroy Lindo says Jamaica has the stories, talent and locations to become a global filmmaking powerhouse as he brings Jabari’s People to the Blue Mountains.
Veteran actor and filmmaker Delroy Lindo is turning the cameras towards Jamaica with Jabari’s People, an intergenerational family drama set between the breathtaking Blue Mountains and Brooklyn. The British-born American star, whose parents were Jamaican, is not simply making another film; he is using his feature directorial debut to place Jamaican identity, family and culture firmly before an international audience. Lindo’s message arrives at a pivotal moment for Jamaica’s creative sector. While the island has long shaped global culture through music, language, sport and fashion, many industry observers believe its film sector remains an underutilised economic and cultural asset.

Does Jabari's People further prove that Jamaica has the creative talent to become a major player in global film and television? Share your thoughts in the comments..
Lindo, 73, who also stars in the production, believes Jamaica already possesses everything needed to become a serious force in global cinema — compelling stories, remarkable locations and an abundance of creative talent. His message to the Government and private sector is clear: do not sleep on Jamaican talent. With meaningful investment, the island’s actors, writers, filmmakers and production crews could build an industry capable of competing far beyond the Caribbean.
Prime Minister Andrew Holness visited the set and met Lindo alongside members of the cast and crew. He praised the contribution of local professionals and said the Government would continue supporting Jamaica’s expanding film industry. The production offers more than beautiful scenery; it gives Jamaican creatives valuable experience while allowing the people who call the Blue Mountains home to become part of the story being presented on screen.

Jamaica has influenced global music, fashion, language and popular culture for generations, yet its film industry has not always received investment matching that extraordinary impact. Jabari’s People could represent another important step towards changing that. Lindo’s return to the land of his parents feels both personal and purposeful — a reminder that Jamaica should not merely provide the backdrop for international productions, but should own its stories, develop its talent and claim its rightful place in world cinema.
