Daily Mail backsdown to JHL libel threat

Daily Mail backsdown to JHL libel threat

Dear Mr Hirst,

Thank you for your email.

We have amended the online article and appended a note at the bottom of the piece.

Regards,

 "In an earlier version of this article we described Mr John Hirst as an 'axe murderer'. He was convicted of manslaughter after killing a woman with an axe".

Problem is that the libel remains!
