Murdoch to Pay Millie Dowler's Family $3.2 Million
Additional $1.6 million to charity
News International is planning to pay $3.2 million to the family of Milly Dowler, the murdered girl whose voicemail was hacked by News of the World journalists, according to the Associated Press.
A joint statement from Dowler’s family and News International confirming the settlement said that Rupert Murdoch will also donate $1.6 million to charities chosen by the Dowler family, which include “youth and cancer research groups.”
“Nothing that has been agreed will ever bring back Milly or undo the traumas of her disappearance and the horrendous murder trial earlier this year,” the Dowlers said in the statement.
