Netflix released the trailer of its upcoming docu-series Who Killed Jill Dando on social media on Monday. The series is set to premiere on September 26 and will focus on the life and death of Jill Dando, a UK TV host who was killed in 1999.
Jill was shot dead outside her residence in London, leading up to one of the most talked about investigations in British history. Subsequently, the probe convicted a suspect and was given eight years but later acquitted after a trial. To date, Jill's murder has been not resolved. Jill had worked as a journalist for BBC besides working in local channels.
The trailer shows glimpses of Jill at the top of her game as a journalist and was hailed as TV Diana. While she was called as the golden girl of British television, the trailer shows the aftermath of her broad daylight murder and how the probe unfolded.
