Various of article written by Sara Payne in the News of the World STORYLINE Britain's simmering phone hacking scandal erupted again Thursday as a charity founded by the mother of a murdered child said she was targeted by a detective who worked for the News of the World. The charity, Phoenix Chief Advocates, said Glenn Mulcaire, a detective employed by the now-defunct tabloid, had the details of Sara Payne in his notes. Payne is the mother of 8-year-old Sarah Payne, whose murder by a paedophile in 2000 shocked Britain and was heavily covered by the News of the World. The charity said in a statement that police had previously said Sara Payne's name was not on a list held by Mulcaire, who was jailed in 2007 for hacking into the voice mail messages of royal staff. But it said "it has now been confirmed by (police) that Sara's details are on his list." "Sara is absolutely devastated by this news, we're all deeply disappointed and are just working to get her through it," it said. The charity advocates for victims of paedophile crimes. It was unclear whether Mulcaire had merely obtained Payne's number or whether he or anyone else had tried to eavesdrop on her voice mails. Thousands of names were on Mulcaire's list, and it still isn't certain how many of them were actually spied upon. The ongoing scandal over illegal eavesdropping has shaken Rupert Murdoch's global media empire, led to the resignation of top executives, including Murdoch protege Rebekah Brooks, and prompted the closure of the 168-year-old News of the World tabloid, which she once edited. Murdoch's News International company said in a statement that the matter is being taken "very seriously" and said the company would cooperate with all criminal and civil inquiries into the new allegations. Earlier this month, Simon Greenberg, News International Director of Corporate Affairs had denied knowledge of the Payne family being targeted. If it were shown that Mulcaire had in fact targeted Payne, and that he had done so at the behest of Brooks' paper, it would be one of the most shocking revelations to have emerged so far. Brooks was closely involved in covering the death of Sarah Payne, and under her stewardship, the News of the World was heavily involved in campaigning for a measure, dubbed "Sarah's Law," to give the public access to information about convicted sex offenders. It set up a petition that drew hundreds of thousands of signatures. Sara Payne even wrote an article for the News of the World's final edition, calling the muckraking tabloid "a force for good." "News International not only campaigned for Sarah's law but they gave personal support to Sara Payne and her family. I can only imagine what they are thinking tonight. It strikes me that it's the ultimate betrayal," said Labour Member of Parliament Tom Watson. In a statement, Brooks said the latest allegations were "particularly upsetting" because Payne was a "dear friend." "The idea that anyone on the newspaper knew that Sara or the campaign team were targeted by Mr. Mulcaire is unthinkable," she said. "The idea of her being targeted is beyond my comprehension." The news came as a senior judge opened an inquiry into the scandal that will start by looking at whether the country needs tougher media regulation, and will have the power to force witnesses to give evidence. Justice Brian Leveson said he has the legal power to demand statements and documents from witnesses - and plans to use it "as soon as possible." Only two people have been jailed for hacking - Mulcaire and reporter Clive Goodman, both in 2007. But parent company News International now admits the eavesdropping was more widespread, and the tabloid is accused of targeting the voicemail of celebrities, politicians, other journalists and even murder victims - including 13-year-old Milly Dowler, whose phone was hacked after she disappeared in 2002. She was later found murdered. Mark Lewis, the Dowler family lawyer said the Thursday's revelations were not surprising. "You would expect, things are going to repeat themselves, that there are going to be other victims of crime, and therefore the families of victims of crime, not just sports people and celebrities, within that list," said Lewis. Only a fraction of some 3,870 people whose names and telephone numbers were found in News of the World files have been contacted by police so far, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Sue Akers, who heads the investigation, told a parliamentary committee last week. It remains unknown how many of those names were targeted for hacking. Leveson's inquiry was announced earlier this month by Prime Minister David Cameron. His seven-member panel includes a veteran newspaper reporter, a former police chief, a civil liberties activist and a broadcast journalist. They held their first formal meeting Thursday and will begin public hearings in September. A second part of the inquiry will examine specific allegations of wrongdoing at News of the World, but can't start until the criminal investigation by police is finished - which could be years away. Leveson said the inquiry would examine "the culture, practices and ethics of the press." Later, it will look at relations among the press, police and politicians. The inquiry will try to get to grips with a scandal that continues to shake Britain's police, political and media establishment. It already has led to the resignations of London's police chief and two senior executives of Murdoch's News Corp. James Murdoch, Rupert's son, is among those whose future hangs in the balance. But he received a boost when the board of British Sky Broadcasting unanimously backed him to remain chairman of the broadcaster.
