Witness in Dando trial found hanged 

      A witness in the Jill Dando trial who gave important evidence
      against Barry George, the man convicted of the murder of the
      television presenter, has been found hanged at his home, it
      emerged yesterday. 

      David Dobbins, 30, was discovered by a relative on Thursday at
      his flat in Fulham, south-west London. It is understood he had
      been suffering from depression. 

      He had given evidence which showed that George was a
      fantasist who owned weapons which he liked to show to local
      children. 

      Police do not believe there are suspicious circumstances to Mr
      Dobbins's death, but an inquest will be held at West London
      coroner's court. 

      Scotland Yard confirmed yesterday that a body was found in a
      Fulham flat last week. "We are not prepared to say any more at
      this stage," a spokesman said. 

      George is appealing against his conviction.
