Evidence about the hacking of murder victim Milly Dowler's mobile phone by the News of the World is being heard by an Old Bailey jury.

Det Sgt Gregory Smith, who investigated the phone-hacking allegations in 2011, is currently in the witness box.

The court has also published three emails between then head of news Ian Edmondson and private investigator Glenn Mulcaire allegedly about hacking.

Mr Edmondson and seven other defendants all deny a range of charges.

Mulcaire has admitted hacking into Milly Dowler's voicemails after she disappeared on her way home from school in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, in March, 2002.

Former NoW editors Andy Coulson and Rebekah Brooks both deny conspiracy to hack phones and other charges.

'Pin'

The jury was told that in 2002 the NoW changed a story between its first and second editions to remove references to a message on the murdered schoolgirl's phone.

Then editor Mrs Brooks was on holiday at the time and her deputy Mr Coulson was in charge, but the court was told that the two were in contact by text between the two editions.

However under cross examination, Det Sgt Smith said he could not be sure whether the times he had for Mrs Brooks's phone activity were local time or UK time.

Last week, the court was told that the first email message between Mulcaire and Mr Edmondson, on 20 April 2006, referred to MP Tessa Jowell and her husband Mr Mills, at a time when he had been accused of involvement in bribery linked to former Italian leader Silvio Berlusconi.

It said: "Substantial traffic both ways, also looks like she's selling up."

Prosecutor Andrew Edis QC previously had told the jury: "You're going to have to decide in Mr Edmondson's case what you make of that, whether it can possibly mean anything at all other than 'I've been phone-hacking Tessa, and this is what I've found out'."

Another message, from 27 April 2006, referred to Lord Frederick Windsor, the son of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, and contained a reference to "press * and Pin", which prosecutors say was Mulcaire telling Mr Edmondson how to hack a phone.

The third email referred to an adviser to former Deputy Prime Minister Lord Prescott, who was at the centre of a publicity storm because he was accused of having an affair.

On Monday, the prosecution concluded its opening argument and was followed by a defence statement from Timothy Langdale QC, acting for Mr Coulson.

He said his client "was never party to any agreement to hack phones - whatever others might have been doing on his watch".

Mr Coulson, 45, of Charing, Kent, who also denies conspiracy to commit misconduct, left the newspaper industry in 2007 and went on to become Prime Minister David Cameron's communications director.

Mrs Brooks, who was editor of the News of the World between 2000 and 2003, and her PA Cheryl Carter both deny perverting the course of justice.

Mrs Brooks, 45, of Churchill, Oxfordshire, denies a second similar charge, along with her husband Charlie Brooks and Mr Hanna. She also denies conspiracy to commit misconduct.

The trial continues.
