A phone-hacking victim who was targeted by private investigator Glenn Mulcaire appears to have implicated another newspaper other than the News of the World in their evidence to the Leveson Inquiry.
The victim, identified only as HJK, gave anonymous evidence to the Leveson Inquiry last week and is also pursuing a civil action against News of the World publisher News Group Newspapers.
In their witness statement HJK said "the publishers of the News of the World have now admitted in the course of my claim that Mulcaire obtained my numbers and accessed my voicemail and that they are vicariously liable (although it was a journalist from [redacted] who had doorstepped me".
