Secondary school boys rape girl, video it in Lagos

A video has gone viral at the Awodi-Ora Estate area of Ajegunle, Lagos State. It is the video of two known teen age boys, raping a girl also known in the area.

Residents of Awodi-Ora Estate and its environs woke up to the mysterious circulation of the porn like film, showing the sexual escapade of the boys in the area with the teenage girl.

The film is the rape of 15-year-old Hannah. The boys, whose names are yet unknown, are also said to be secondary school boys.

Hannah until the incident, resides at Dada Onijoma Street, and also attended Rebecca Secondary School in Ajegunle, a suburb of Lagos State.

Hannah was raped by the two boys after she was lured into a hotel by one of them. It was gathered that as each took turn at her, the other used his camera phone to video the action.

In the video, Hannah looked sick and about to cry. She repeatedly kept spitting each time one of them forced her to take them into her mouth.

The boys laughed repeatedly, even discussing that they paid N2000 for the hotel.

 It was gathered that Hannah who is from a broken home had been wooed by one of the boys.

But instead of Hannah to leave the boy and turned down his request out rightly, she decided to keep the boy to meet her financial needs.

A source who resides in the state and pleaded for anonymity said: “The boy who thought throwing money at Hannah and buying recharged cards,  would draw her closer to him, was disappointed when he heard from his friends that Hannah had been making  a fool of him among her friends in the area, calling him his ‘mugu’. ‘Mugu’ in local parlance means a fool.”

Hannah who continued with her games with the boy however was not aware that the boy had been planning to get even with her.

When she eventually demanded for a sum of N6, 000 from the boy, he had promised to give her the money.

He however asked her to come to a joint in the area to collect the money.

It was gathered that while at the bar, which also served as a hotel, the boy who was already at the joint with his friend booked a room in the hotel.

 He told Hannah to follow him to the room to collect the N6, 000 and she had followed.

On getting to the room, Hannah saw the bitter side of the young man as he and his friend pounced on her, taking turns to forcefully have sex with her.

She was however devastated when the video was being circulated among her friends in the area.

It was gathered Hannah who had tried so much to hide the rape from her parents, especially her mother whom she stays with, had to confide in her mother who alerted Hannah’s estranged father.

Hannah’s father was said to have abandoned her mum and moved in with a younger lady.

Due to the incident, Hannah was immediately relocated to Ghana.

The matter was reported to the police and both boys picked up. Police are however still investigating.

Queen visits Lee Rigby's barracks to pay her respects as coroner hears soldier had to be identified by dental records

The Queen has paid her respects to Drummer Lee Rigby by meeting officers and soldiers at the barracks where the murdered soldier was stationed.
She met, in private, military personnel from Woolwich Station where Drummer Rigby lived and others he worked with in his regiment's outreach team.
Her visit came as a coroner was told his body could only be identified by his dental records after he was killed when he returned to his barracks following a day working at the Tower of London.

Drummer Rigby's family were not at Southwark Coroner's Court to hear the brief details of the circumstances surrounding his death last week, but they thanked the public for the 'overwhelming support'.

As his inquest was opened and adjourned they said in a statement: 'We would like to emphasise that Lee would not want people to use his name as an excuse to carry out attacks against others.'

Lieutenant Colonel Bob Christopher, commander of Woolwich Station, and his team met the Queen, as did staff from the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers' outreach team, Drummer Rigby's regiment, based at the Tower of London

An hour before the Queen arrived in Woolwich to visit the new home of the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery - a mounted, ceremonial unit - Buckingham Palace announced she would mark the death of the soldier by holding the meetings before having lunch in the Sergeant's Mess.

A Buckingham Palace spokesman said the Queen met 'those who co-ordinated the barracks response to the events of last week and some of those who formed part of Drummer Rigby's chain of command'.

She stressed that the royal engagement was a longstanding commitment and that 'the Queen was privately acknowledging the events of last week'.

The Queen's journey to the barracks in south east London did not take her past the hundreds of floral tributes left at the railings.

Lieutenant Colonel Bob Christopher, commander of Woolwich Station, and his team met the Queen, as did staff from the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers' outreach team, Drummer Rigby's regiment, based at the Tower of London.

It is not known how long the Queen chatted to the service personnel, who were not available for a comment afterwards.

The Queen's visit comes nine days after the death of Drummer Lee Rigby

The Queen was visiting the new home of the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery - a mounted, ceremonial unit. During the visit she watched a display of gun carriages

During the Queen's visit one toddler did his best to upstage the monarch by rolling around on the floor crying when his mother was introduced to the head of state.
Ethan Pagan-Skelley, 18 months old, dressed in a tiny suit complete with shirt and tie, threw a tantrum soon after the Queen arrived at George VI Lines, home of the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery.
His father Sergeant Peter Pagan-Skelley serves with the prestigious regiment and was in another part of the base but the infant's mother Emma carried on chatting to the Queen as her son played up.
After meeting the monarch in the gun store, where the regiments First World War guns are kept, the mother said: 'The Queen said "he's a troublesome one" but it was lovely to meet her.'
The toddler's grandmother Annette Skelley added: 'He was quiet all morning but when the Queen arrived he started crying, maybe it was the occasion that got to him.'

Fellow soldiers went to the scene to pay their own tribute. Members of 14 Regiment Royal Artillery left a card that said he is 'lost but not forgotten'.
One fellow soldier described him as 'a true hero' who had 'paid the ultimate price'.
Detectives investigating the murder of soldier Lee Rigby have arrested a man on suspicion of being involved in supplying illegal firearms.
The 42-year-old was held in north London this morning and is currently being questioned at a police station in south London, Scotland Yard said.
Searches are also being carried out at homes in north and east London as part of the ongoing investigation into Drummer Rigby's death.
Southwark Coroner’s Court heard brief details of the circumstances surrounding Drummer Rigby’s murder last week as the inquest into his death was opened and adjourned.
The court heard that the Manchester-born soldier was killed as he returned to his barracks in Woolwich, south east London, on May 22.

The court heard that 25-year-old Drummer Rigby was identified by a dental expert.
A post-mortem examination has already found that he died from multiple cut and stab wounds.
Adjourning the inquest to a date to be fixed, deputy coroner Lorna Tagliavini said: 'I would like to take this opportunity to give my personal condolences to all members of Lee Rigby’s family for their very sad loss.'
Mr Mallon told the court that Drummer Rigby had been working at the Tower of London on the day he died.
He said Drummer Rigby suffered 'extensive and serious injuries', and investigations into his murder are continuing.
None of the father of one’s family was in court for the brief hearing.
Additional security guards were on duty at Southwark Coroner’s Court this morning. The inquest was adjourned to a date to be confirmed. Drummer Rigby, known affectionately to his mated as ‘Riggers’, was a member of the 2nd Battalion the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers and had served a tour of duty in Afghanistan.

British father-of-five, 47, drowns white-water rafting in Alaska after leaving family at home to go on trip of a lifetime

A British father-of-five has died in a white-water rafting accident in Alaska after leaving his family at home to go on trip of a lifetime.
Steven Morton, 47, from Cambridge, was washed out the raft into Kenai Peninsula's Six Mile Creek on Monday afternoon with several other people.
He was dragged from the water, and taken to a local hospital, but was later declared dead.

Mr Morton had traveled to Alaska earlier this month - the accident happened just days after he had climbed Mount McKinley, North America's tallest mountain.

Scene of death: Six Mile Creek Kenai Peninsula ChugachNational Forest, Alaska

Mr Morton's family are said to be devastated by the news - he only married his wife Vanessa Langlois last year after ten years together.
He had five children, including three girls from ages 24 to 17, as well as a 12-year-old stepson and a 7-year-old boy.
In an email to Channel 2 Mrs Langlois wrote: 'He phoned before he left for the rafting trip. He was so happy to have (summited) Denali safely and was so happy to be coming home, talking about the gifts he was about to buy for the kids.'
The boat which had a guide and several other passengers in tipped over as the group entered a rapid called Zig Zag, just downstream of another well-known Class V rapid called Suckhole, reported Alaskadispatch.com.
Chuck Spaulding, owner of the river-guiding business NOVA Alaska said Mr Morton was wearing a drysuit, flotation jacket and helmet at the time he was swept away from the boat.
A police spokesman said: 'Investigation revealed that a raft operated by NOVA River Runners overturned, causing everyone in the raft to go overboard.
'Other boaters on the river pulled him from the water and started CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation).'
Mr Morton was declared dead at about 2.30am Tuesday at Providence Alaska Medical Center in Anchorage.

Three Westerners, including a British man and American woman, are killed in Syria during ambush by government forces

A British man and an American woman are believed to be among three Westerners killed in an ambush by government forces in Syria who claimed they were carrying out the orders of an al Qaeda-linked terrorist cell.
Ali Al-Manasfi, 22, from London, and Nicole Lynn Mansfield, 33, from Michigan, were reportedly killed when their VW car was sprayed with bullets by Syrian troops in Idlib province, near the Turkish border on Wednesday.
Broadcasting images of what appeared to be their passports, Syrian state television claimed the pair - along with another Westerner - were members of the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra group and were caught taking pictures of military positions.
Mr Al-Manasfi's family from Acton, west London,today said they were waiting for confirmation from the Foreign Office but feared the passport shown was genuine.

Brit fighting abroad: What appeared to be the passport of Ali Al-Manasfi, 22, from London, was broadcast on Syrian state-run TV

Nicole Lynn Mansfield was shot dead by Syrian government forces along with two other Westerners - reportedly both British - The 33-year-old is from Flint, Michigan and converted to Islam several years ago following marriage to an Arab man

This close up picture shows a British passport (left) and the passport of Nicole Lynn Mansfield (right) - who both died in a gunfight with Syrian government forces

A family spokesman told the Daily Telegraph: 'We are sitting tight to hear but it looks like it could be him.'

They said he had been in Syria for four months, but had 'disappeared' a few weeks ago.

Yesterday 33-year-old Nicole Lynn Mansfield, from Michigan, was revealed as one of the dead after Syrian state television broadcast images of her passport on Wednesday.
The attack is said to have happened a week after British doctor Isa Abdur Rahman, 26, a graduate of Imperial College London who had travelled to the country to treat injured civilians, died when a makeshift hospital was shelled in Idlib province.
And as news of their deaths filtered through the Western world, it was claimed that Moscow is unlikely to deliver a promised shipment of S-300 anti-aircraft missiles to the Syrian government before the autumn - a move said to be retaliation for the European Union's controversial decision this week to lift an arms embargo on Syria.

The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which opposes Bashar al-Assad's regime, has reportedly suggested the trio were working with rebels.
A UK Foreign Office spokeswoman said: 'We are aware of the claims. We have no verification, but are seeking information.
'The UK has warned for some time against all travel to Syria.'
Britain has withdrawn all diplomats from Syria amid the escalating bloodshed.
Syrian state television said that Mansfield was shot while driving in Idlib in the northwest of the country and aired her license in which she is seen to wear an Islamic headscarf and her address listed as Flint, Michigan.

Gunned Down: Syrian state television showed the vehicle the woman was traveling in with a British man that appeared to be riddled with bullets

The news report speculated that Mansfield was a terrorist and said that she was shot alongside two people from the UK.
Family members in Michigan confirmed to the Detroit Free Press that the images seen on Syrian television are of Mansfield.
'I am sick over it,' said the deceased woman's aunt, Monica Mansfield Speelman. 'I didn’t think she was (a terrorist), but God only knows.'
Speelman confirmed that Mansfield met an Arab man several years ago and converted to Islam and began wearing a hijab and headscarf.

'Inspirational': Dr Isa Abdur Rahman left his post at a London hospital to volunteer in Syria

However, Speelman added that the couple divorced three years ago after he was unable to get a green card.
Speelman claimed not to know the name of the Arab man, nor why her niece was in Syria - although she added that her niece's conversation 'bothered' her.
However, Mansfield was adamant that Islam was the right choice for her.
She told people 'that the best way of life was to be a Muslim. And that women should wear scarves...women should always over their head,' Nicole’s grandmother, Carole Mansfield, 72, told the Free Press.
Nicole Lynn Mansfield reportedly grew up in Flint, Michigan to Baptist parents and her father used to be a production worker for GM.
She attended Mott Community College and worked as a home health care worker for 10 years according to her grandmother.
'She had a heart of gold, but she was weak minded,' Mansfield said. 'I think she could have been brain washed.'
'As we do in all such cases, we are working through our Czech protecting power in Syria to obtain more information, and we appreciate the efforts of the Czech mission on behalf of our citizens,' the official said.
He added that U.S. authorities could not comment further 'because of privacy considerations.'
Syrian state television on Wednesday released what it said was the name of an American woman who was killed in Idlib province as well as the name of a man who it said was a British citizen killed in the country.

Harem town, Idlib, Syria - where the shooting is alleged to have taken place

Up until Thursday there had been no independent verification of the report or of the woman's identity.
U.S. officials said they were aware of material posted on the Internet indicating that the woman may have been a resident of Michigan.
Reports claimed the three people were ambushed by government forces in their car while traveling through the province of Idlib in northwestern Syria - which has been a flashpoint during the two-year-long civil war in the troubled nation.
The television footage showed a black car riddled with bullets and three bodies laid out also with multiple gunshot wounds.
The MailOnline has seen these images but is not publishing them.

Other images shown on Syrian state television include an alleged cache of weapons the three were carrying, a hand drawn map of a government military facility and a flag belonging to the al-Qaeda affliiated al-Nusra Front.
The three dead Westerners are all reported to be Muslim.
They died on the same day 'Inspirational' Dr Isa Abdur Rahman, 26, was killed after leaving his position at London's Royal Free Hospital to volunteer with a British charity in the conflict-ridden country.
The married doctor - who has been described as 'kind and deeply caring' - was injured on Wednesday morning when a shell hit the secret clinic in Syria's Idlib province.
Dr Rahman died shortly afterwards.

Bitter fighting: Dr Rahman began working in conflict-ridden Syria - where a car is seen burning in the wake of shelling by government forces near Damascus this week - almost a year ago

Aftermath: Civilians inspect the damage at Arbaeen, near Damascus on Thursday following what activists claimed was shelling by forces loyal to the Assad regime

Two other civilians died and two more people were wounded by the attack, which charity Hand in Hand for Syria has blamed on government forces, a report in the Times said.

Dr Rahman's devastated wife, parents and siblings were too upset to speak in the wake of the tragedy.

The 26-year-old, described as 'brave' and 'dedicated' by the founder of the charity, was from north west London, and trained at Imperial College before taking up a post at the Royal Free.

He flew to Syria almost a year ago after deciding to put his medical expertise to use helping civilians caught up in bitter fighting between forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad and rebels seeking to oust his regime.

Meanwhile, Moscow is unlikely to deliver a shipment of S-300 anti-aircraft missiles to Syria before the autumn, an arms industry source told the Russian news agency Interfax on Friday.

Arms deal: Russia has refused to scrap plans to provide Syrian President Bashar al-Assad with S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems, pictured, saying they will be a 'useful deterrent' to intervention in the country's conflict

Deadly: File photograph of Russian air-defence S-300 missiles being prepared for launch at a military training ground in Russia

Aid: A truck carrying supplies sent from Russia to Syrian refugees in Jordan is unloaded today

The source also indicated the timing of the delivery of the arms, which has alarmed Western governments, would depend on the development of the situation in Syria.
The head of Russian aircraft maker MiG said separately that Russia was counting on providing Syria with 10 MiG-29 fighter planes, and was discussing details with a Syrian delegation, RIA news agency said.
However, Syria claimed yesterday it has already received the first shipment of Russian missiles that are part of a more sophisticated air defense system, President Bashar Assad bragged today.
Bashar Assad's comment on the arrival of the long-range S-300 air defense missiles in Syria could further ratchet up tensions in the region and undermine efforts to hold U.N.-sponsored talks with Syria's warring sides.
Israel's defense chief Moshe Yaalon said earlier this week that Russia's plan to supply Syria with the weapons was a threat and that Israel was prepared to use force to stop the delivery.

Civil war: President Bashar al-Assad's government is embroiled in a 26-month-long conflict with a Western-backed insurgency

The shipment of the missiles, if confirmed, comes just days after the European Union lifted an arms embargo on Syria, paving the way for individual countries of the 27-member bloc to send weapons to rebels fighting to topple Assad's regime.
The developments raise fears of an arms race - not just between Assad's forces and the opposition fighters battling to topple his regime, but also in the wider Middle East.
Israel has carried out several airstrikes in Syria in recent months that are believed to have destroyed weapon shipments bound for Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shiite group that along with Iran and Russia is a staunch Assad ally.
With the Russian missiles in Syria's possession, the Israeli air force's ability to strike inside the Arab country could be limited since the S-300s would allow it to counter airstrikes.
The S-300s have a range of up to 125 miles and the capability to track and strike multiple targets simultaneously.

Parents of missing office worker, 26, say she may have gone because she was upset at a recent haircut

Missing: Office worker Frankie Warren, 26, vanished from her home in Gloucester on Wednesday

The parents of a woman who vanished from her home two days ago fear her disappearance may be linked to her upset over a haircut that went wrong.
Frankie Warren, 26, has been missing from her home in Thornbury, Gloucester since Wednesday morning.
The office worker's car was found in a secluded beauty spot 80 miles away in Sedgley, West Midlands yesterday.
Her parents Kieran and Margerie Warren have told people Frankie was depressed over her latest hairstyle as locals joined in the search effort in the area.
Mr and Mrs Warren said they could think of 'no other reason' why their daughter would disappear out of the blue.
Kevin Fletcher, 46, met Ms Warren's father searching fields close to Sedgley Hall Park while out walking his dog at around 6am this morning.
'I took my dog Coco up to the fields at 6am and could hear people shouting her.
'As I got to the top of the field there was a bloke there with hiking boots on and a big stick.
'He went "I'm her dad",' the factory manager said.
'He said he didn't know why she had come here. He said she was really mixed in her head and has been missing for a couple of nights and she's gone very depressed.

'I asked why is she so depressed, and he said she went and had her hair done a couple of weeks ago and they didn't do it right.
'He said she kept going back and it was getting worse,' Mr Fletcher said.
'He said "that's all we can think of and we can't understand why".'
The factory worker also said he first saw the office worker's abandoned silver Honda Civic parked near the wooded area in Sedgley early on Thursday morning, but thought nothing of it.
'I thought the door doesn't look like it's shut properly,' he said.
'But I didn't think anything else of it because it was raining and a horrible morning.
'Apparently the keys were still in the car and her handbag was on the passenger seat.'

Fears: Police, relatives and friends are searching for Ms Warren, seen left and right with her boyfriend Sam Cotton, whose car was found abandoned in a secluded area in the West Midlands yesterday evening

Mr Fletcher described seeing police with sniffer dogs descend on the area on Thursday evening.
'They asked me not to let Coco off the lead, there must have been about ten of them with dogs,' he said.
'I could hear the police helicopter as well, it looked like it had the infra-red on.
'It must have hovered over the fields for about 20 or 30 minutes.'
Police arrived at the wooded area after tracking Ms Warren's car using number plate recognition cameras.
Ms Warren did not take any belongings with her when she left her house on Wednesday morning, and friends said she had only £20 worth of petrol in her car.

Search: Police recovered a vehicle from Elan Road in Sedgley during the search for missing Frankie Warren

Concern: Police have been searching the area near Sedgley Hall Park, 80 miles from Ms Warren's home in Bristol

Her last contact with her boyfriend, Sam Cotton, 27, was at 11am on Wednesday.
Mr Cotton posted an emotional plea for information on his Facebook page the day his girlfriend went missing.
He wrote: 'MY GIRLFRIEND (FRANKIE WARREN) HAS GONE MISSING!!!!!! I last spoke with her at about 11am on 29th May, this is massively out of character for her and also not to contact anyone!!!!'
He added: 'I LOVE YOU SO MUCH BABY!!!!! We all just want you home safe!!!!'

Mr Cotton has since posted an update to say he had travelled to Sedgley to join in the search.
A spokesperson for Avon and Somerset Police said: 'Her family, and the police officers searching for her, are becoming increasingly concerned for her welfare because of her state of mind when she left.
'Since Frankie was reported missing we have been conducting enquiries to try and find her.
'As a result of those enquiries, her silver Honda Civic was found by West Midlands Police near some woodland in Sedgley at around 6.50pm on Thursday evening.
'A large search of the area took place by officers from West Midlands Police and will begin again at first light on Friday morning.
'Frankie is a white woman, 5' 8" tall and with a slim build.
'She has a pieced left nostril, blue eyes and straight blonde hair and was last seen wearing a blue tracksuit with full-length jogging bottoms with a white waist cord and a white logo on the leg.
'She had a light-grey hooded tracksuit top and a quilted jacket made of brown, shiny material and a fur-trimmed hood.
'Anyone who has seen Frankie since she went missing, or knows where she currently is, should contact police on 101.'

Fed-up husband stabbed his wife to death because he felt their lives on benefits and watching TV were meaningless

Michael Cole killed his wife with a hammer and knife after she refused to make a suicide pact with him

A jobless husband stabbed his wife to death because he felt their life together on benefits had become meaningless.
Michael Cole, 56, wanted to make a suicide pact with his 53-year-old wife Susan because all they did was watch TV.
He went on to kill her with a hammer and knife when she refused.
He remained with her body at their seaside home for two days before calling the police to confess, Exeter Crown Court was told.
The couple were both depressed by having no work and little money to live on and felt their life had become meaningless because they spent every day at home watching daytime television.
After killing his wife he tried to take his own life by taking an overdose and cutting his wrists, but survived both attempts.
Cole, of Torquay, Devon, admitted murder and was jailed for life with a minimum term of 12 years and three months by Judge Francis Gilbert, QC.
He told him: 'You killed your wife at your home. You had been married for 32 years and you killed her by stabbing her in the neck with a knife. You also hit her on the back of the head with a hammer.
'You called the police and told the operator you thought you had killed your wife. The police found her dead beside your bed covered by a blanket with her head in a pillow.
'In interview you were unable to give an explanation for why you had killed her but you told a nurse at hospital you had discussed both committing suicide but she would have none of it.
'You told the psychiatrist that without any cause you took the hammer from under the stairs and the knife from the kitchen and went upstairs, where you hit her head so she fell and then stabbed her in the neck.

'You tried to put her into bed and failed and instead put a pillow under her head and covered her body.
'You are 56 with no relevant convictions and you have expressed remorse which I believe to be genuine.
'It is right that you had no children and no other close relatives. There is no evidence this was premeditated or there was any ulterior motive such as financial gain.'

Cole remained with her body at their seaside home for two days before calling the police to confess, Exeter Crown Court (pictured) was told

Mr Martin Meeke, QC, prosecuting, said Cole called police to his home on Thursday, March 13, and told them he had killed his wife two days earlier.
He needed hospital treatment after cutting his wrist and taking an overdose but was unable to tell officers why he had killed his wife.
Mr Paul Dunkels, QC, defending, said the couple had worked in the past but were both living on benefits and faced the prospect of their home being repossessed when their savings ran out.

'You killed your wife at your home. You had been married for 32 years and you killed her by stabbing her in the neck with a knife. You also hit her on the back of the head with a hammer' 

- Judge Francis Gilbert, QC

He said: 'They both felt their lives had no worth. He says that the difference between a bad day and a good day was if there was something on television they were both interested in, usually sport.
'Their lives had become so narrow and introverted and a time came when their savings were running out. They had no income, neither were fit for work and a time came when they felt life had nothing to offer.
'The psychiatrist postulates he was overcome by his chronic feelings of hopelessness and after years of routine, exacerbated by drinking alcohol, led him to realise how futile life had become and he directed that anger towards Susan.
'There is no doubt he was depressed in the long term. He has destroyed whatever future he had and killed the only person he ever loved as man and wife.'
Detective Inspector Dave Thorne, of Torbay CID, said: 'This is a tragic case where Michael Cole took the life of his long term wife.'

Shocking photograph reveals the blood-covered bathroom where sprinter Oscar Pistorius shot dead his girlfriend

The blood-spattered bathroom where Reeva Steenkamp was shot dead by her boyfriend Oscar Pistorius has been pictured for the first time.
The graphic pictures show inside the Paralympian sprinter's house in Pretoria, South Africa, where Miss Steenkamp was killed in the early hours of Valentine's Day.
Pools of blood cover the toilet and floor of the room, with police tape marking the holes where bullets flew through the bathroom door, which is missing a panel.

Graphic pictures obtained by Sky News show for the first time the bathroom where Reeva Steenkamp was shot dead by Paralympian Oscar Pistorius

Pistorius denies that Reeva Steenkamp's Valentine's Day murder was premeditated

It is thought that the low position of the bullet holes will be used by Pistorius's defence team to argue that he was not wearing his prosthetic legs at the time of the shooting, so could not have planned the murder.
He claims he shot Miss Steenkamp, 29, by accident because he believed a burglar had entered their home while they slept.
The pictures, obtained by Sky News, also show trails of blood leading from the bathroom and down the stairs of the house, from Pistorius carrying Miss Steenkamp's body as he called for help.
In one poignant scene, a Valentine's gift for Pistorius, 26, from his girlfriend remains unopened.

A card bearing the nickname 'Ozzy' and a packet of heart-shaped sweets lie on top of a parcel wrapped in striped paper.
Pistorius is charged with premeditated murder for the shooting of his model girlfriend.
He is due in court on Tuesday for a brief hearing while the police investigation continues.
The Sky footage also shows bloodied footprints - thought to have been caused by investigating officer Hilton Botha walking into the house without protective covers on his shoes.
The investigation into Miss Steenkamp's death has been heavily criticised.

Botha was then forced to step down when it emerged he faced seven charges of attempted murder for a 2011 case in which he and two other officers fired on a vehicle in an attempt to make it stop.

Sources told Sky News that other officers in the case are being investigated for the disappearance of a watch belonging to Pistorius.
Today, his uncle Arnold Pistorius described what life is like for the athlete while he waits for his trial to begin.
He told CNN: 'He is housebound. He doesn't go out in public places.

'But he's not keen to go out. This fits him at the moment.
'He's got photos [of Reeva] in his room, he's got photos all over the places.

'If the person you love the most died and you were the instrument, how would you feel? It's unthinkable.
'[His life] won't be the same again. He will have to cope with it somehow.'
Earlier this week, Pistorius was fined about £60,000 for not paying his taxes in South Africa.
The fine came after he was forced to declare his assets during his bail hearing in February.
The 26-year-old declared in an affidavit during his application that he earned around £420,000 a year and owned three houses and land in South Africa with a combined value of nearly £600,000.
Media reports in South Arica suggested that he also owned another property, in Johannesburg, which was bought for around £600,000 this year.
That house was not declared as part of his assets in his affidavit.

British Airways maintenance staff left engine doors open on fire emergency plane causing one to rip through fuel line on take-off

A catastrophic maintenance failure caused a British Airways jet into an emergency landing, air accident investigators have discovered.
Doors on both engines of the British Airways plane in last week’s Heathrow emergency landing drama had been left unlatched during maintenance, according to an official accident report .
The unlatching had not been identified before the Oslo-bound Airbus A319 took off with 75 passengers and five crew on May 24, said the report from the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB).

Terror: Smoke is seen pouring off one of the engines as the British Airways flight heads for an emergency landing at Heathrow

The fan cowl doors from both engines detached as the aircraft left the runway at Heathrow, puncturing a fuel pipe on the right engine, the report said.

 The detaching also punctured the airframe and some aircraft systems and the flight crew, led by the 50-year-old captain, elected to return to Heathrow.
On the approach to land an external fire developed on the right engine, with the left engine continuing to perform normally throughout the flight.
When the initial fault was detected, the crew declared a pan emergency - not as serious as a mayday - with the intention of returning to Heathrow.
During the approach to land, an external fire developed on the right engine and the crew declared a mayday.

Failure: The inner working of the engine are clearly visible through the gap left by the missing cover as emergency services attend a British Airways passenger plane after it had to make an emergency landing at Heathrow

Although both engine fire extinguisher bottles were discharged and the right engine was shut down, the fire was not completely extinguished. When the plane landed 'the airport fire service attended and quickly extinguished a small fire on the right engine'.

Remnants of the fan cowl doors were recovered from the runway. Among the damage caused by the detached doors was damage to the left main landing gear, while the right main landing gear outer tyre was damaged during the landing and had fully deflated.

The right engine was extensively fire-damaged.

The AAIB said that the fan cowl door latches are difficult to see 'unless crouched down so that the bottom of the engine is clearly visible'.

The report added that the right engine was shut down and the aircraft landed safely.
The emergency services quickly attended and extinguished the fire in the right engine.
Passengers and crew evacuated the aircraft via the escape slides, without injury.
The report said: 'Subsequent investigation revealed that the fan cowl doors on both engines were left unlatched during maintenance and this was not identified prior to aircraft departure.'
The AAIB published a photo of the aircraft taken prior to its pushing back from the stand before take-off.
This was one of a number of photographs showing the fan cowl doors unlatched on both engines.

Emergency: Passengers and crew escaped from the British Airways plane as emergency crews surrounded the stricken plane

Emergency services attended to the aircraft following the emergency landing

The report said the aircraft had undergone scheduled maintenance overnight. This required opening the fan cowl doors on both engines to check oil levels.
The report said that plane manufacturer Airbus had recommended airlines strictly adhere to maintenance standards following previous instances of fan cowl door separation on the A320 'family' of planes, which include the A319 in last week’s incident.
Procedures for maintenance checks include crouching down to see that the fan cowl doors are closed and latched, the AAIB said.

The report said that last July Airbus said there had been 32 reported fan cowl door detachment events - 80% of which occurred during the take-off phase of flights.
On some occasions, significant damage was caused to the aircraft but none of the events resulted in a subsequent fire.
'The source of ignition that led to the in-flight fire (in last week’s BA incident) is still under investigation,' the AAIB said.
The AAIB recommended that Airbus notify Airbus A320 family aircraft owners of the BA incident and reiterate 'the importance of verifying that the fan cowl doors are latched prior to flight by visually checking the position of the latches'.

The starboard engine appears charred as the plane sits on the runway after making the emergency landing, last week

BA's maintenance is carried out by its own maintenance teams.
BA chairman Keith Williams said: 'We welcome the publication of the AAIB interim report. We continue to co-operate fully with the investigation team and can confirm that appropriate initial action has already been taken in accordance with the AAIB's safety recommendation to Airbus.

'We regret we are precluded from releasing or discussing any additional details while the AAIB investigation is ongoing.

'We commend the professionalism of the flight crew for the safe landing of the plane and the cabin crew and pilots for its safe evacuation.

'We continue to offer our full support to those customers who were onboard the flight.'
The report today said nothing unusual was noted during the pre-flight preparations of the BA plane last week.

The pilots reported the take-off seemed normal although the captain commented that he had felt a slight bump, which he believed to be a wheel running over the runway centreline light.

Early in the aircraft's climb air traffic controllers informed the crew that the plane had left debris on the runway and the cockpit crew were later advised by the cabin crew that panels were missing from the engines.

The report said the pilots experienced a decrease in engine thrust control and a significant fuel leak loss and a hydraulic problem.

Teenage girl raped on way home to family's £2.5m mansion by serial offender after getting stranded outside nightclub

Arshad Arif was unanimously convicted by a jury at Reading Crown Court of a double rape on a drunk teenager

A convicted rapist attacked a schoolgirl after targeting her when she lost her friends on a night out.
Arshad Arif, 28, raped the 17-year-old as she tried to get home to her family’s £2.5million mansion after becoming stranded outside a nightclub with no money or phone.
The rape was a chilling re-enactment of an attack Arif carried out on a girl of the same age in 2004. He was convicted and jailed for five years in 2006 after admitting the crime.
He had been out of prison for just over two years when he carried out the second rape last November.
He was remanded in custody after being found guilty of raping the teenager twice and is awaiting sentencing.
A jury heard that Arif lured the 17-year-old into a taxi in the early hours of the morning and took her to a park in Slough, which was miles from her home, and raped her twice.
The drunken girl eventually escaped, jumped over a wall at the nearby home of an elderly couple and hammered on the door to raise the alarm.

The rapist was caught because the girl had asked to use his phone to call home and police were able to trace him through his number.
Jury members heard that in 2004, Arif had approached another drunken 17-year-old in the early morning, under the pretence of taking her home, and raped her in a flat.

On Thursday they took less than two hours to reach unanimous guilty verdicts on each of the two counts of rape.
In a recorded police interview heard in court, his distraught victim said: ‘I just felt like I’m going to die. It’s just hard to believe it actually happened, that I would get away.’ 
The petite girl said the taller, stronger Arif had pushed her down and made her perform a sex act on him while threatening her.
‘If I didn’t do it, I was going to be raped,’ she said. ‘In the end it was both.’

The attack was almost identical to another one he was convicted for in 2004

The eight women and four men on the jury at Reading Crown Court had heard how his latest victim had been on a night out celebrating a friend’s birthday with nine girls when she became separated from them on November 25 last year.
The girl was stranded in the cold and wet outside Oceana nightclub, in Watford, Hertfordshire, for about an hour, drunk, with no phone or money and wearing just a small black dress and high heels.
She used strangers’ phones to try to call her own phone, which was in a bag with her friends, but nobody answered.
She also tried to take a taxi home but was dropped back within minutes when the driver realised she had no money.
Arif, who was on his own in the town, then joined her and several other people who had sought shelter from the cold in a doorway. CCTV footage shows them walking off together.
At 3.15am, the girl’s parents – both successful professionals – were woken by a call from Arif’s mobile phone to their home landline.
The girl said: ‘Mum, it’s me. I don’t feel well and I’ve lost the others. Can you come and get me?’
Within five minutes the concerned mother was on the road, yet when she got to Oceana her daughter was not there and she raised the alarm with police.

Reading Crown Court heard that Arif raped the girl twice as she tried to get home from a nightclub

The tearful woman told the court: ‘I went looking for her in bins, in alleyways. There’s a large pond behind Oceana and I was looking to see if she had drowned in there.’ 
Meanwhile Arif, who runs a mobile phone and watch business, and the girl were in a taxi heading to his hometown of Slough, Berkshire.
As they arrived at a park, the driver noted the girl did not want to leave. She was then pushed and carried through the park to a remote spot and attacked.
As Arif led her out afterwards, she seized the chance to escape and ran to the home of pensioners Michael and Barbara Georgiu. Arif ran off to his nearby home.
Arif was identified by his mobile phone number and arrested. 
Detective Sergeant Lucy Deane said: ‘This man is a dangerous predatory offender who needs to be locked up to ensure the safety of young women who find themselves, through no fault of their own, in vulnerable situations.
‘He literally hunted this victim down – identifying her vulnerability and taking the worst kind of advantage imaginable.’

Police confirm missing Georgia has died as they find a body in woodland and charge 22-year-old friend with murder

Police have charged 22-year-old Jamie Reynolds with the murder of Georgia Williams, 17, who has not been seen since Sunday, West Mercia Police said today.
Officers confirmed that the body of a young female, who has not been formally identified, has been found near Nant-y-Garth pass near Wrexham, and they believe that it is linked to the disappearance of the former head girl.
The 17-year-old, from Wellington, Shropshire, has not been seen since telling her parents she was going to see friends on Sunday evening.
Police said that yesterday afternoon new evidence came to light which proved that she had died at an address in Wellington.
Reynolds will now appear before Telford Magistrates' Court tomorrow morning.

Developments: Detectives investigating the disappearance of 17-year-old Georgia Williams say that they found a body in north Wales this afternoon. Jamie Reynolds has been charged with her murder

Accused: Jamie Reynolds, right, has today been charged with the murder of missing 17-year-old Georgia Williams, who went missing after leaving home to meet friends last Sunday

Murder charge: Reynolds, 22, of Telford, had initially been held on suspicion of kidnap but was charged with murder today

New evidence: Forensics officers emerge from a house in Wellington today as the search for missing Georgia Williams turned into a murder investigation

In a press conference this afternoon Superintendent Nav Malik said: 'During our enquiries, sadly, late yesterday afternoon new evidence came to light that proved Georgia was deceased and that she died at an address in Wellington.

'For obvious legal reasons, particularly to ensure that future court proceedings are not jeopardised, we are not able to reveal further information about this evidence at this time.

'However, I can now confirm that the body of a female was found earlier this afternoon - at around 2pm - in woodland off the Nant-y-Garth pass near Wrexham.

'The body has not yet been formally identified but early indications suggest that the discovery relates to our investigation into the disappearance of Georgia Williams.

'Georgia's family have been kept fully informed of all the recent developments and this has only added to the devastation they are feeling about this week's events.

'I would like to ask that their privacy is respected so that they can attempt to come to terms with the events of the past few days.

'Although all investigations of this nature are extremely difficult, it is fair to say that this case has proved particularly challenging for all the officers and staff involved.

'We are totally committed to every investigation we launch but dealing with events that directly affect a colleague and fellow member of the policing family - especially one that many of us know so well - is unusual and has proved extremely tough and emotional for everyone.

'Although there is much more work to do on this case, I would like to thank the whole investigative team for all their efforts up to this point, especially in what have been very trying circumstances.
'Finally, on behalf of the investigative team, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that came forward with information as a result of our appeals and I'd also like to thank the press for their support and understanding during this investigation so far.'
This afternoon's developments came on the same day that friends of Georgia had organised a mass leaflet drop in a desperate bid to find her.
More than 50 friends of Georgia gathered in her home town of Wellington, Shropshire, to make emotional missing person posters as they refused to give up hope of finding the teenager alive.
The friends hugged and cried as they made the personalised posters, just a mile from the schoolgirl's family home.
The former head girl is believed to have been going to the home of Jamie Reynolds for a modelling-style photoshoot.

Heartbreaking: Friends of Georgia Williams console each other at All Saints Church, Wellington, Shropshire as they joined in the search for the teenager today

The 22-year-old was initially arrested on suspicion of kidnapping but detectives yesterday revealed he was being held on suspicion of murder.
West Mercia Police had said that detectives from North Wales Police were searching an area of land on the Nant-y-Garth pass near Wrexham.
Friends of Georgia had spoken of their distress at the search for the 17-year-old as they joined in the hunt for the teenager.

Katy Lafferty, who is Georgia's best friend and helped organise the leaflet drop, said the last time they spoke she was 'her usual self', adding her disappearance was 'heart-breaking'.
'I last spoke to her Saturday and she was just the same as she's always been - I didn't really suspect anything,' she said.
She had added: 'I have faith in her, I believe in her.'
The 17-year-old praised the support that had been expressed by thousands of people via social media.
Asked how she was coping with the disappearance of her friend she said: 'It's difficult but you've got to believe in her and get through.
'You've got to believe that she's somewhere and is going to come back.'
She said she had spoken with Georgia's parents Lynette, 51, and DC Stephen Williams, 56, and said they were 'just getting through it - how else can you be?'

Katy, from Telford, added that she and friends wanted to hand out leaflets and posters about Georgia because they needed to help.
'It is heart-breaking, I cannot ever imagine that this would happen but for us to be able to do something about it is good,' she said.
Emotional friend Emma Plumb, 17, who knew Georgia from college, fought back tears as she said: 'I can't put into words how anxious I am.
'I can't sleep at night, because I don't want there to be bad news when I wake up.
'You see this on the news but you don't expect it to happen to someone you love.
'When I found out Monday night it was like my brain had been speared. I couldn't comprehend it.'
Another friend, George Garbett, 17, said Georgia was as 'bright as a button' last Friday and had planned to go a music festival on Monday.
He said: 'She's the bounciest, most energetic person you could ever meet.
'She's head girl at college, and helps out with the Telford football team.
'I last saw her Friday and she was bright as a button. She planned to go to Slam Dunk festival Monday night so I know she had no plans to go anywhere.
'This is so strange, the anxiety is like a black shadow cast over my life.'
Chris Thomas, 17, who has known Georgia for 11 years, added: 'You can see how much hurt this has caused all of us.
'I found out through Facebook and feared the worst.
'It's not like her to go missing, she's really mature and caring.
'I'm not a religious man, but I have been praying on my hands and knees for her safe return.'

Hunt: A police car can be seen in the woodland at Brown Moss near Whitchurch, Shropshire, as officers hunt for Georgia Williams

Looking for clues: Police cordon off a wooded spot in Whitchurch, Shropshire, during the search

Police had sealed off woodland close to the home of the teenager after 'clothing was discovered' at the site.
But today Inspector Richard Langton, from the Wellington safer neighbourhood team, said detectives had now ruled out any connection with Georgia’s disappearance to the police cordon around an area of woodland at Brown Moss Nature Reserve, 17 miles away from Wellington, yesterday.
He said: 'That was an important piece of work.
'Thankfully, we’ve been able to eliminate that from this inquiry which means we can concentrate those resources and those members of staff on other searches.'
He added the force had had a 'tremendous' response from the public following the TV appeal.
Superintendent Nav Malik, Telford and Wrekin police commander, said yesterday: 'I make it very clear, folks, that we have not found Georgia Williams at this moment in time.
'She remains elsewhere - we are not quite sure where.

'We are really, really keen to identify where she may be, her whereabouts and I urge the public to support us in trying to find out where she may be.'
He added there were more than 50 detectives working on the investigation.
Georgia has not been seen since telling her parents she was going to see friends at 7.30pm on Sunday.

Investigation: Another emergency vehicle can be seen through thick trees in the woodland spot where officers were hunting for the missing student

Murder investigation: Police began searching at the woodland spot as they held a 22-year-old man on suspicion of murder 

Police said she had her mobile phone with her when she left, but the last calls and text messages were received from the device at about 8pm that night.
Georgia's mother Lynette, 51, and her father DC Stephen Williams, 56 - who works for the force leading the investigation into his daughter's disappearance - have been left heartbroken about the incident.
The pair went to the Plough Inn, in Wellington on Wednesday evening, looking to borrow a lighter as the couple wanted to place a candle at the altar of the local church over the road.
But when Georgia's face flashed up on the pub's TV, the couple were said to have slumped onto one of the bench's at the pub - where they wept uncontrollably for the rest of the evening.

Landlady Ruth Lowe, 42, said: 'I saw Georgia's dad on Wednesday night, because he was lighting a candle for her at the church over the road.

'He came in here because he didn't have a lighter.

'As he approached me Georgia's face flashed up on the news, and he just slumped on one of our benches and cried hysterically.

'He brought his wife in and they sat here and sobbed all night.

'It was so sad to see two strong people ripped apart like that.

'Georgia was a cadet, and she helped out with one of our Help for Heroes fundraisers.

'She was so spirited. Everybody is praying for her.

Court appearance: Georgia Williams pictured with Jamie Reynolds who was charged with her murder today and will appear before magistrates tomorrow

Vehicle: Police had initially been searching for a silver Toyota Hiace 300 GS van (pictured), registration CX06 ASV

Evidence: The suspect's vehicle is taken away by police officers from a car park in Glasgow city centre

'To see a hardened police officer reduced to a shell of a man and weeping like that, was just heartbreaking.

'Everybody was trying to comfort him and we brought him coffee, but he was just frozen there. It was like he couldn't move.'
Mr Malik said police were still keen to trace the movements of a silver Toyota Hiace 300 GS van, which Mr Reynolds had access to, between 5pm and 10.30pm on Monday – when it travelled just 12 miles between Wrexham and Queensferry in North Wales.
From there, the vehicle is known to have taken a route through Cheshire and Cumbria before being filmed by CCTV cameras arriving at a Glasgow city centre car park on Tuesday afternoon.
Mr Reynolds is understood to have been arrested in the early hours of Wednesday in a Premier Inn hotel nearby.
The van, which has the number plate CV06 ASV, is believed to have left Wellington at about noon on Monday, travelling to Oswestry, Rhyl, Chester and Kendal before reaching Glasgow at about midday on Tuesday.
Mr Malik has previously said that Georgia's disappearance was 'completely out of character'.
Miss Williams’s boyfriend Matthew Bird, 19, was yesterday said to be ‘in pieces’ and vowed ‘never to give up’ looking for his teenage sweetheart.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday, Mr Bird, who works at fashion chain Next, wrote: ‘I’m so worried about her and we need her back, I love you Georgia and I will find you.’

Fears: Superintendent Nav Malik told a press conference earlier this week that West Mercia Police were 'gravely concerned' for the well being of Georgia

Concerns: Georgia is seen here with her father Stephen Williams, a West Mercia Police Detective Constable
