The Guardian newspaper's defended its original story that journalists from the News of the World deleted crucial voicemails belonging to murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler.

Police have new evidence Milly's voicemails weren't deleted by the tabloid when she first went missing - but probably were automatically.

The activity made Milly's parents believe she was still alive, and led in part to the setting up of the Leveson inquiry into press ethics.

Former News of the World reporters have given evidence today, and defended practices at the paper.
