Brooks and Coulson 'in contact during Dowler story change'

Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson were in contact during the time a story about murdered girl Milly Dowler was changed to remove references to material gained from phone hacking, a jury has heard.

The Old Bailey was told that in 2002 the News of the World changed a story between its first and second editions to remove a transcript of a message left on the schoolgirl's phone.

Mrs Brooks and Mr Coulson both deny conspiracy to hack phones.

Tom Symonds reports.
