The Daily Mail — correction

In an article last week headed 'A dead clever way to make money', we reported that the Daily Mail had offered Rose- mary West close to £250,000 for her story and had 'purchased Rosemary's brother and her 79-year-old mother'. We now accept that these allegations are untrue and that the Daily Mail has not been involved in negotiations of any kind relating to the West murder case which would cause it to be in breach of the Press Complaints Commission's Code of Practice. We are happy to set the record straight.
