The attorney general, Dominic Grieve, will begin court action on Thursday against two tabloid newspapers over the way they covered the hunt for the killer of Joanna Yeates, the landscape architect whose body was found dumped on Christmas Day in a country lane near Bristol.
Grieve has instructed his team to launch contempt of court proceedings against the publishers of the Daily Mirror and the Sun because of the way they reported the circumstances surrounding the arrest of Chris Jefferies, Yeates’s landlord, before the arrest of Vincent Tabak, who later admitted manslaughter but denies murder.
