She wants star's family to get closure
A KEY witness in the murder of Jill Dando has identified a man she saw running away as ruthless Serbian assassin Milorad Ulemek.
The woman saw our picture of Ulemek on Monday and is certain he is the man she locked eyes with while driving nearby soon after the Crimewatch presenter, 37, was shot dead at her home in 1999.
She told police the day after the killing that the man, wearing a suit, had a startled look on his face. And a month later she picked him out in CCTV footage, police files reveal.
The man, who is still wanted, bears a striking resemblance to Ulemek, a Mirror investigation has revealed.
Speaking minutes after she saw our story on Monday, the woman said: "I said to my other half, it's him. I'm adamant that is one and the same person that I saw run down the road."
Asked if she was sure, she added: "Yes, I've no doubt... I'm a bit rattled, holy sh**. It was a long time ago but I can remember faces from years and years back. I'm good with faces."
SWEATING
Her claim comes before the 25th anniversary of Jill's killing on Friday.
The CCTV was taken from Putney Bridge Underground station in South West London, around a mile from Jill's Fulham home, on April 26, 1999.
It is near Putney Bridge bus stop, where a man who looked like a police e-fit suspect was last seen. But the Met never released the CCTV image.
The woman, who has asked to remain anonymous, was one of four witnesses who described seeing a man in a suit running down Fulham Palace Road in the direction of the Tube station shortly after 11.30am.
