Mark Lewis said police told her parents that Glenn Mulcaire hacked into her voicemail while she was missing.

The Guardian has claimed he intercepted messages left by relatives and said the NoW deleted some, which gave her parents false hope she was alive.

NoW parent firm News International said the development was of "great concern".

Mr Lewis said the hacking dated from 2002 when the NoW was under the editorship of Rebekah Brooks (nee Wade) - now News International's chief executive.

In a statement he said:

"Sally and Bob Dowler have been through so much grief and trauma without further distressing revelations to them regarding the loss of their daughter. It is distress heaped upon tragedy to learn the News of the World have no humanity at such a terrible time. The fact that they were prepared to act in such a heinous way that could have jeopardised the police investigation and gave them false hope is despicable."

He also said the Dowlers had been told their own phones were targeted.

The Guardian claims that after Milly's voicemail facility became full, the NoW deleted messages it had already listened to.

It quotes one source as saying that this gave false hope to friends and family, who mistakenly believed that Milly herself had cleared her message inbox and that therefore she was still alive.

By that time, she had been murdered by a nightclub doorman, Levi Bellfield, who was convicted of the killing last month.

The Guardian also alleges that the NoW employed another private investigator, Steve Whittamore, to illegally obtain ex-directory numbers for families called Dowler living in Walton-on-Thames, where Milly and her family lived.

A News International spokesman said it had been co-operating fully with the police inquiry into hacking since News International's "voluntary disclosure in January restarted the investigation into illegal voicemail interception".

He said: "This particular case is clearly a development of great concern and we will be conducting our own inquiries as a result.

"We will obviously co-operate fully with any police request on this should we be asked."

Reacting to the story, Tom Watson MP told the Commons it was a "despicable and evil act that will shock parents up and down the land".

He also said it strongly suggested that parliament was misled in the press standards inquiry that was held by the Department for Culture Media and Sport last year.

Former deputy prime minister Lord Prescott, who claims his phone was also hacked, said the case proved Rupert Murdoch - who owns the NoW - should not be allowed to purchase the satellite broadcaster BSkyB.

He said the revelations cast fresh doubt on claims by NoW editors Rebekah Brookes and Andy Coulson that they did not know of hacking by employees of the newspaper.

Lord Prescott said:

"It's quite appalling. What alarms me most of all is that basically we have here Rebekah Brookes and also Andy Coulson, who were editor and deputy editor. These are the people who said they knew nothing about any of these things that went on. Somebody must have sanctioned it."
