War photographer Paul Conroy has said he feels "emotional and vindicated" after a US court found the Syrian government liable for the death of Sunday Times reporter Marie Colvin.

The award-winning war correspondent, 56, was killed alongside French photographer Remi Ochlik in a rocket attack on a media centre in the Baba Amr neighbourhood of Homs in February 2012.

It happened while the American journalist was on assignment with Mr Conroy and Syrian translator Wael al-Omar.

Hollywood actress Rosamund Pike, who plays Colvin in a new film A Private War, told ITV News: "It became apparent that what Marie was saying was powerful enough that the leaders of a powerful regime felt the need to kill her for it."
