Dando was a devout Baptist.[1]
From 1989 to 1996, she dated BBC executive Bob Wheaton.[1][3] She also had a relationship with national park warden Simon Basil.[1] In December 1997, Dando met gynaecologist Alan Farthing on a blind date set up by a mutual friend. Farthing was separated from his wife at the time.[16] A couple of months after Farthing's divorce was finalised,[17] the couple announced that they were engaged on 31 January 1999.[16][17] Their wedding was set to take place on 25 September.
cond trial lasting eight weeks ended in George's acquittal on 1 August 2008.[23]

On the morning of 26 April 1999, 37-year-old Dando left Farthing's home in Chiswick. She returned alone, by car, to the house she owned in Fulham. She had lived in the house, but by April 1999 was in the process of selling it and did not visit it frequently. As Dando reached her front door at about 11:32, she was shot once in the head.[18] Her body was discovered about 14 minutes later by neighbour Helen Doble.[19] Police were called at 11:47.[7] Dando was taken to the nearby Charing Cross Hospital where she was declared dead on arrival at 13:03 BST.As Dando was about to put her keys in the lock to open the front door of her home in Fulham, she was grabbed from behind. With his right arm, the assailant held her and forced her to the ground, so that her face was almost touching the tiled step of the porch. Then, with his left hand, he fired a single shot at her left temple, killing her instantly. The bullet entered her head just above her ear, parallel to the ground, and came out the right side of her head.
— Bob Woffinden, The Guardian, July 2002[20]
Forensic study indicated that Dando had been shot by a bullet from a 9 mm calibre semi-automatic pistol, with the gun pressed against her head at the moment of the shot. Richard Hughes, her next door neighbour, heard a surprised cry from Dando "like someone greeting a friend" but heard no gunshot. Hughes looked out of his front window and, while not realising what had happened, made the only certain sighting of the killer—a six-foot-tall (183 cm) white man aged around 40, walking away from Dando's house.[7]
