Murdoch junior was kept in the dark

The son of media empire appointed heir, James Murdoch appeared in front of MPs yesterday to answer further questions on the phone hacking scandal.

Mr Murdoch accused former executives at News of the World (NOTW) of keeping him in the dark as he was not fully informed of evidence that phone hacking at its now defunct tabloid was more widespread than previously admitted.

However, former NOTW editor Colin Myler confirmed that Mr Murdoch knew about phone-hacking and former News International lawyer Tom Crone said that his boss was attempting to discredit him by saying he was unaware of the scandal.

The committee is still investigating who knew about the hacking NOTW.
