David Luiz showed that the good feeling of Wednesday's win over his former club is still going after posting an Instagram photograph with his younger Paris Saint-Germain team mates Mory Diaw and Mike Maigan. The ex-Chelsea star played a key role in his new side's extra time victory - despite the Zlatan Ibrahimovic being sent off in the second half.

Three separate bomb blasts in the Nigerian city of Maiduguri have killed at least 10 people and injured several more. One of the explosions was caused by a suicide bomber who detonated a tricycle-taxi, according to witnesses. A military source has said the first two explosions were from bombs - one inside a busy marketplace and the other nearby. The wave of violent attacks which happened within half-an-hour of each other left dead bodies strewn across the ground. Terror-attack: Three separate blasts have ripped through a busy marketplace in the Nigerian city of Maiduguri (pictured in 2009), killing at least 10 people . Insurgents: Terror group Boko Haram (pictured) has intensified bombings and village attacks recently as troops from neighbouring nations try to expel them from the Nigeria-Cameroon border . Another witness heard all the three explosions from about mid-day in the city which houses over two million people. Maiduguri is the state capital of Borno State - the heartland of militant group Boko Haram which has adopted the city as its self-declared capital. A member of a civilian emergency response team said: 'I have counted five ambulances that have evacuated victims . from the scene. 'Soldiers are shooting in the air and warding off . people at the market.' Fish-seller Idi Idrisa who was in the vicinity of the blast says several people were badly wounded. An officer who wishes to stay anonymous says he counted 10 corpses on the ground but the death toll is mounting, with unconfirmed reports of up to 19 deaths. The attack bears the hallmarks of terrorist group Boko Haram which has intensified suicide bombings and village attacks as soldiers from neighbouring countries try to expel the militants from towns along the Nigeria-Cameroon border. Around 12,000 people have died since the group's deadly uprising in north-eastern Nigeria six years ago. The extremists are reportedly amassing forces at their headquarters in the town of Gwoza to prepare for a bloody showdown with the multinational force, an intelligence officer has said. Multinational force: Troops from Chad and Cameroon are trying to battle the threat of Boko Haram in Nigeria, for fear the militants may cross into their countries . Death: Around 12,000 people have died since Boko Haram's deadly uprising in north-eastern Nigeria six years ago . Now the militants are warning civilians to leave the town to avoid being killed in the crossfire, a woman who has been trapped there since July has told her daughter. Hajiya Adama claims her mother left last week and escaped to the town of Yola in neighboring Adamawa state. 'She told me that Boko Haram terrorists asked them to leave suddenly, that they were preparing grounds for a major battle,' she said. 'While being helped by other women to leave through Madagali, they saw many Boko Haram terrorists in trucks and some on bikes moving toward Gwoza.' An intelligence officer has said security forces are being careful for fear of harming civilians - and because Boko Haram has surrounded Gwoza with land mines.

Summary: All three blasts occurred within half-an-hour of each other in Maiduguri . Witnesses said one bomber exploded a tricycle-taxi inside busy marketplace . Many wounded in attack which bears the hallmarks of terrorists Boko Haram . Neighbouring militaries trying to expel them from Nigeria-Cameroon border .


A college basketball coach who injured himself celebrating his team's last victory was knocked out of his chair after after seeing his son hit a game winning shot. Ron Hunter, the coach of Georgia State, toppled off of the stool where he had cheered on the Panthers after his son RJ sent the 14-seed past Baylor into the NCAA tournament's third round. Hunter's deep three-pointer put the Sun Belt conference champions up 57-56 with 2.7 seconds remaining, and his team held on for their first tournament win. Scroll down for video .

Baylor, from the Big 12 conference had been favorited in the game by 9, though Georgia State was able to beat the Bears behind the younger Hunter's 16 points. The Panthers had been down by 12 with less than three minutes left before surging back for a stunning comeback and winning on the junior guard, according to ESPN. Coach Hunter's assistants helped him get back into his chair after he was literally floored by his son's last minute heroics.

Being at Old Trafford on Saturday was a surreal experience – and I’m not even referring to the Wes Brown-John O’Shea red card cock-up. Manchester United dominated the game, were by far the better side, and they won comfortably. But their fans were not satisfied. At one point in the first half, a deep United corner found its way back to David de Gea in goal. Boos echoed around Old Trafford, and then a loud chant rang out: 'Attack! Attack! Attack, attack, attack!' Wayne Rooney leaps for joy after scoring a brace against Sunderland on Saturday as Manchester United won . United only took control of the game after Wes Brown was sent off against his former club . There is a lack of realism among United’s critics and some of the supporters this season. They need to understand and accept that it used to be champagne and caviar with Fergie; last season was bread and water; this season it’s a bag of chips with one of those little bottles of cheap, weak continental beer. David Moyes took the club in the wrong direction in so many ways. We’re waiting to see if Louis van Gaal is the right man, but United’s football doesn’t look good when compared with the recent greatness. Between 2007 and 2013 Manchester United had the most successful period in their history. They won the title five times in that period. They made the Champions League final three times in a four-year period, winning it once. It would not be wrong to say United in that spell were second only to Barcelona in the world, and that Barca side under Pep Guardiola is the best club side I have ever seen. In the years before Sir Alex Ferguson retired, United were phenomenal. That side was arguably their best ever. Despite the win there were sections of the home crowd that were not totally satisfied with the performance . The champagne and caviar days that supporters were used to under Sir Alex Ferguson are over . Some great players contributed to that run of success – Cristiano Ronaldo, Carlos Tevez and Wayne Rooney up front. Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic – possibly the Premier League’s greatest ever centre-half partnership – were rocks at the back. Edwin van der Sar was the long-awaited replacement for Peter Schmeichel in goal. And of course Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs were still weaving magic spells on the pitch in that side, while Gary Neville was as solid and dependable off the pitch as on it. Of all those names only one is still playing for United, and he scored both goals in Saturday’s win. Another – Michael Carrick – has been injured for most of this season. There is an array of talent and character listed there, and that cannot easily be replaced. Shorn of such star quality, a massive rebuild job is now underway. And having sunk to an unimaginable low last season under frankly the wrong manager, expectations of Manchester United need readjustment. Many of Ferguson's title-winning team in 2013 have

Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes, who has revealed he drew on his own experience for a recent storyline in the show . He captivates audiences with his depiction of 1920’s upper-class society, taking in the rules and etiquette of the time and creating characters who struggle to live by them. But Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes has revealed that he drew on his own experience for his latest storyline for the show set in the roaring 1920s. Lord Fellowes said he used an episode of romantic rejection when he was a young man to create a plot for the show’s fifth series. His character Lady Rose, played by actress Lily James, was torn between her love interest, the son of Jewish immigrants and her family who do not approve of him. The 65-year-old told the New York Times that he too was left feeling insecure after he was rejected by one of his first loves because of his religion. 'I felt it as a Catholic when I was young. One of my first girlfriends was from a fairly senior Jewish family', he said. 'They were a very nice family – I’m still friendly, actually, with the girl and her brother. 'But her parents wanted a Jewish husband. 'And it’s a very strange feeling when you realise that people don’t like you because of what you are.’ He also told the Israeli newspaper Haaretz that the rejection was 'sort of my first experience of not being desirable.' He added: 'They certainly didn’t want a Catholic in the family. ‘People always think the prejudice is one-way, but it can be two ways. I wanted to use that in the show.’ He said the 1920s was a time when: ‘People didn’t mind if you came to their house or you shot their pheasants, you ate their dinners or went to their daughter’s dances. 'But, my God, they didn’t want you to marry her.’ Lord Fellowes refused to identify the woman who spurned him, but has said she belongs to one of the 'great Jewish families'. In Downton Abbey, the character Lady Rose, played by Lily James, right, was torn between her love interest, Atticus, the son of Jewish immigrants played by Matt Barber, and her family who do not approve of him . He has now been married to his wife Emma Kitchener for 25 years. A sixth series of Downton Abbey has been commissioned and goes into production later this year. However, he has hinted that the series may be the last saying 'it is not going to go on forever'. The screenwriter admits there is no way he could continue to write it while working on his next major project, The Gilded Age. He was commissioned almost a year ago by US television network NBC to write the programme, which has been dubbed the American version of of the ITV1 show. A sixth series of Downton Abbey has been commissioned by ITV and goes into production later this year but Lord Fellowes has hinted this series may be the last . The Gilded

Summary: Julian Fellowes says he used his romantic rejection to create a storyline . Says he was rejected by one of his first loves because of his religion . Explains he was Catholic while girlfriend was from a senior Jewish family . Says the family only wanted his love interest to have a Jewish husband . His experiences mirror that of his Downton Abbey character Lady Rose . She too was torn between her love interest and a family who do not approve of him .


Boris Johnson has revealed the eccentric life of his grandmother, who turned her back on high society to live without electricity or running water and cook in a cow shed. The Mayor of London spoke with pride of his resilient judo-loving gran, who spent years in the depths of Exmoor National Park in Devon. His paternal grandmother Irene, who was also known as Buster, shunned the glamour of London to move to the countryside with her husband to start a simple life.

From left Johnny, Birdie, Stanley, Buster and Peter with Hilary in the front . Mrs Johnson and her husband Johnny swapped a blissful life of domestic servants and bridge parties for a remote existence at a farm, West Nethercote. Boris, writing a foreword in a book about his grandmother's life, said Mrs Johnson cooked in cheap pots in a kitchen which used to be a cow shed - but still served him dishes which have stayed with him all his life. She wrote the book before her death in 1987, but it is only being published now. The Mayor of London wrote: 'She had no collection of fancy saucepans, no Sabatier knives - and yet she produced dishes whose tastes and smells I can remember today, almost half a century later, with Proust-like rapture. 'I am not sure that she was ever really taught to cook. She was born in the Pavillon du Barry at Versailles; she went to Cheltenham Ladies College; she read Russian and got half a blue for judo at Oxford. 'No, I don't think cooking featured much on her early curriculum. It would be fair to say that her kitchen - a converted cow-byre - was not exactly a chef's paradise. 'When the concrete floor needed cleaning, Granny would get a handful of wet tea leaves, hurl them into the dusty corners, and sweep up the gloop with a broom.' Mrs Johnson wrote the book before her death in 1987. It is called Alas Poor Johnny, after her husband Johnny (pictured) Johnny - a warm and friendly man - is said to have had a strong influence on Boris' unique sense of humour . Boris, who is running to become an MP in the upcoming General Election, reveals some of his earliest memories of life on the Exmoor plains with his beloved grandmother, who lived in the West Country until her death. The book, Alas Poor Johnny, is named after Buster's husband Johnny - a warm and friendly man said to have influenced Boris' unique sense of humour. A spokesman for publishers Troubador said: 'In 1951, Buster Johnson moved from Surrey to Exmoor with her husband Johnny,

A US drone strike has killed the terrorist behind the Westgate shopping mall attack which left 67 people dead in Kenya's capital Nairobi. Adan Garar and two others are suspected to have been killed after their car was targeted near the town of Bardhere in Somalia. Senior US and Kenyan officials say Garar, a top member of the al-Shabab extremist group, was thought to have helped plan the devastating attack on the Westgate mall in 2013. A US drone strike in Somali has killed the terrorist behind the Westgate shopping mall attack. Shoppers are pictured running for safety during the attack in Nairobi in 2013 . A Kenyan official, who insisted on anonymity because he was not authorised to give the information to the media, says Garar is also suspected of planning failed attacks on Kenya's coast and in the Ugandan capital, Kampala, last year. The U.S official also insisted on anonymity. Anti-terror police foiled a planned attack in the coastal city of Mombasa after they intercepted a car packed with explosives in March 2014, according to Kenyan authorities. According to police, al-Shabab militants had planned simultaneous attacks on the international airport in Mombasa, the ferry crossing and a supermarket. Deadly: 67 people were killed in the Westgate attack, which was carried out by four gunmen from al-Shabab . The car laden with explosives was to be detonated on a ferry. Al-Shabab, an Islamic extremist group, has vowed to inflict violent attacks on Kenya and Uganda because the two countries have contributed troops to the African Union force supporting the government in Somalia.

There were call-ups for three uncapped players and an unexpected recall for Ben Stokes but they were all overshadowed in England's Test squad to tour the Caribbean by the return of Jonathan Trott. Nothing seemed less likely than this when Trott left England's Ashes tour 16 months ago after his public ordeal at the hands of Mitchell Johnson. The road back since he returned home after the first Test in Brisbane with a 'stress-related condition' later diagnosed as situational anxiety has been a long and tortuous one. Warwickshire batsman Jonathan Trott has been recalled to the England Test squad for their upcoming tour . Trott has completed his recovery from a stress-related condition that stretches back to the Ashes in 2013 . Trott will compete with Adam Lyth for an opening batting slot alongside Alastair Cook . Yet against all the odds and after the key development of working with renowned sports psychologist Steve Peters, Trott is back and will compete with Adam Lyth to become Alastair Cook's opening partner in the three-Test series. There will be those who worry about Trott's fragility but mental injuries should be treated no differently from physical ones and now he has been given a clean bill of health it is right that the 33-year-old should be picked. Lyth gets the nod ahead of Sam Robson and his emerging county colleague Alex Lees, and becomes one of an incredible six Yorkshiremen in the squad after scoring 1,489 championship runs at 67.68 last season. Adil Rashid, another Yorkshireman, and Durham fast bowler Mark Wood are the other newcomers. Rashid made the last of his 10 limited-overs appearances for England six years ago but is a more mature leg-spinning all-rounder and person now at 27. Stokes, who missed out on the World Cup after a miserable year of form, returns in place of the injured Chris Woakes, but England see him more as a No 6 batsman and fourth seamer in Test cricket. England hope Moeen Ali will overcome a side injury to join the tour in time for the second Test in Grenada. In his absence Rashid will compete for the No 1 slow-bowling spot with Kent's reliable off-spinner James Tredwell, who edged out Surrey's Zafar Ansari for the final place in the squad.

It boasts a beautiful town centre and a wealth of history to explore. But it turns out there’s another reason why tourists flock to York – it’s considered the world’s safest city. And three more British towns – Bath, Edinburgh and Brighton – help make up the top four safest places. York is considered the world's safest city, according to a new study which found only one per cent of people consider it to be risky . Cairo, Bangkok, Istanbul and Marrakech were the cities deemed most risky to visit on a short break. The survey by Post Office Travel Insurance of 2,075 UK adults showed that 72 per cent felt York was safe, compared to one per cent considering it risky, and 26 per cent having no view. In contrast, only seven per cent thought Cairo was safe – and 56 per cent felt it was dangerous to visit. But London didn’t even make the top ten – with 58 per cent deeming the capital safe and 16 per cent risky. A stolen wallet (24 per cent) was the most common occurrence for those who had had problems in cities. As many as 26 per cent felt they had been ripped off on city visits, with this figure rising to 43 per cent among those aged 18-24. Cairo (pictured), Bangkok, Istanbul and Marrakech were the cities deemed most risky to visit on a short break . Of the eight UK and Ireland destinations in the survey, the least-safe was Belfast with only 37 per cent deeming it safe. But although 53 per cent reckoned Manchester was safe, 20 per cent thought the city was risky - a higher figure than that for Belfast (19 per cent). Venice, Vienna, Dublin, Florence, Stockholm and Copenhagen made up the rest of the top ten safest cities.

Summary: York is considered to be the safest city in the world, according to a survey . Bath, Edinburgh and Brighton also make the top four safest places . Cairo, Bangkok, Istanbul and Marrakech deemed most risky cities to visit .


America's Next Top Model host and mentor Tyra Banks said she was 'deeply saddened' about the death of one of her former contestants last week, but plenty of others have had similarly tragic fates after the cameras stopped rolling. From rehab to felonies, several contestants fell into lives of crime after being dismissed from the show. While some picked themselves back up, others weren't as lucky. Cycle 21 contestant Mirjana Puhar, 19, was shot dead last week after she opened the door to two robbers who also killed two men inside the house. Scroll down for video . Mirjana Puhar was an America's Next Top Model contestant during Cycle 21. She was shot dead last week as she opened up her door to two robbers who went on to shoot two men in her house in a triple homicide . Mirjana's boyfriend, Jonathan Alvarado, 23, and his roommate, Jusmar Gonzaga-Garcia, 21, were also killed in the shooting. It is believed that the homicide was 'drug related' Her boyfriend, Jonathan Alvarado, 23, and his roommate, Jusmar Gonzaga-Garcia, 21, were the other two victims of the triple homicide. Police arrested and charged Emmanuel Jesus Rangel, 19, with three counts of first-degree murder. Authorities recovered seven rounds of 9mm ammunition, two knives, drugs, a safety deposit box and several cell phones which has led police to believe the house may have been a drug den. The police report, seen by Daily Mail Online, shows they also found a marijuana-like substance. Detectives confirmed the triple homicide was 'drug related' and are looking into the backgrounds of the two male victims. Renee Alway, pictured in 2007 on left and 2013 on right, was a finalist on the show's eighth cycle. She was arrested in 2013 after a spree of robberies . Alway, pictured in 2013, was sentenced in December for 12 years in prison. She had given up custody of her three kids before she was arrested . Cycle eight finalist Renee Alway - known as Renee DeWitt on the show - was arrested in Palm Springs, California, in June 2013 after a six-hour standoff with the police and SWAT team following a robbery spree, according to AOL. Neighbors told officers the residents were out of the country and Alway was found hiding in the garage allegedly armed with a gun, police said. Alway, who was 20 when she was on the show, reached the final three contestants before taking part in Tyra Banks' show 'Modelville' and appearing in ads and magazines. But in the months afterwards, she found 'closed door, after closed door, after closed door, and it was just really hard to take', she said in an interview. After the 2013 incident, she was as sentenced to 12 years in prison for four felony burglary counts and one count each of vehicle theft and being a felon in possession of a firearm. She was also ordered to pay $58,679.58 in damages to her victims. Alway, now 28, gave up custody of her three children before the arrest. Angelea Preston, pictured in 2010 on left and

The past few days have been turbulent, to say the least, for British middleweight, Luke Barnatt. When his upcoming fight against Clint Hester was scrapped from the UFC's Fairfax card on April 4, after Hester developed a foot injury, Barnatt was on the hunt for a replacement opponent. 'I heard from Clint directly that he was injured and out of the fight.' Barnatt told Sportsmail. 'I spoke to Joe Silva and he said there's no-one on the roster who is free to fight you, so it might have to be a newcomer. But I didn't want to fight a newcomer who people knew nothing about. He had a few guys in mind but none of them could take the fight or would agree to it. Britain's Luke Barnatt found the replacement he was looking for after his fight with Clint Hester was scrapped . Barnatt will be facing Filipino-American fighter Mark Munoz in the UFC's maiden event in the Philippines . 'I said, 'Why don't you give me Mark Munoz and let me fight in the Philippines?' 'Then Joe called back and said he'd made about 500 phone calls and that he couldn't find anyone, so your wish is my command – you're fighting Mark in the Philippines. 'I went from being very down, to being very happy, and now I have 10 weeks to prepare for the fight.' Barnatt is looking to bounce back from two frustrating back to back losses, both of which the middleweight feels he would have won, were it not for poor judging decisions. Mark Munoz, meanwhile, who recently fell short of the UFC's top 15 middleweight rankings, is a veteran of the sport and will present a dangerous challenge on the ground for Barnatt. 'Obviously I have to pay a bit more attention to my wrestling now' said Barnatt. 'Mark is a very, very good wrestler. There will be a bit more of a focus on, but I am going to implement my own game plan.' Munoz (front) fought in UFC 184 but was forced into submission by Brazilian fighter Roan Carneiro (rear) Carneiro celebrates his win over Munoz in their middleweight bout during the UFC 184 event at Staples Cente . The bout will feature on the UFC Fight Night: Edgar vs. Faber fight card, the UFC's first event ever to take place in the Philippines. 'Six years ago I was in Thailand.' Barnatt continued. 'I lived there for 7 months and I always wanted to go to the Philippines, so I'm super excited. I'm going to go out there about 10 days before to get acclimatized. The funny thing is, Mark trains about 3 hours away from me in California so we will both be going all that way. We will probably leave on the same flight to get out there!' When it comes to trash talk, we can expect to witness none of that in the lead up to this bout. 'I know Mark' said Barnatt. 'He's pound for pound the nicest guy in the world. But this will probably be Mark's last

Summary: The pair will meet at UFC Fight Night: Edgar vs. Faber on May 16 . British middleweight Luke Barnatt says he will 'retire Mark Munoz' The spectacle marks the UFC's first ever event in the Philippines .


A French baker has become embroiled in a racism row after selling dark chocolate cakes depicting an obese man and woman. Patissier Yannick Tavolaro has been selling the cakes, named Dieu and Desses (God and Goddess) in his shop in Grasse in the south of France for the past 15 years. They are made from chocolate to look like nude human figures, which have over-sized genitalia and breasts. Baker Yannick Tavolaro with the Dieu and Desses cakes he sells in his patisserie in the south of France, which have been branded racist . The Council of French Black Associations say the cakes are racist because they ridicule African religions . But the Council of French Black Associations (CRAN) has branded the pastries racist saying that they ridicule African religions after they were alerted to them by a member of the public. And now they are calling for Mr Tavlaro to take the cakes from the shelves of his bakery. In a statement the organisation's president Louis Georges Tin said: 'These cakes are inspired by colonial fantasies about black people with wide-eyed expressions, over-sized mouths and obligatory nudity. 'Worse still, considering their name, they ridicule African religions, presenting their divinities in a grotesque way, only good enough to be munched up.' The anti-racism group are calling for the cakes to be pulled from the shelves of Mr Tavolaro's bakery . But Mr Tavolaro says that in no way is he racists and that he only uses dark chocolate for the cakes because it is easier to work with . But Mr Travaloro is refusing to stop selling them, saying in no way are they racist and he only uses dark chocolate as it is easier to work with. He told Le Parisien: 'If they were racist, people wouldn't order them – the only thing people are offended by is the fact they’re black – if they were white nobody would mind. 'But black chocolate is easier to work with. 'People don’t know me – I’m being judged on these cakes. I’m not racist and nor are my customers.' Mr Tavolaro says he has been selling the cakes in his bakery in the town of Grasse for the past 15 years . Mr Tavolaro's supporters have now launched a Facebook campaign to show solidarity with the baker. The complaint by CRAN follows a similar case in France last year, where a chocolate maker changed the name of two of his specialties called 'Bamboula' and 'Negro'. The chocolate maker in Auxerre agreed to rename the chocolates, despite saying they were a centuries old tradition that actually paid tribute to Senegalese soldiers injured during the war and in no way racist.

Summary: Yannick Tavolaro has been selling the dark chocolate cakes in his bakery . They are shaped like human figures with big eyes and over-sized bodies . But an anti-racism group has called for them to be pulled from the shelves . Council of French Black Associations say that they 'ridicule' Africans . But Mr Tavolaro is refusing to stop selling them saying he is not racist .

Killer on the loose: Saad Al-Hilli and his wife Iqbal from Surrey were murdered in France in 2012 . Detectives investigating the murders of four people including members of a British family in the French Alps have ruled out a mystery biker seen close to the scene, it emerged today. It was on September 5, 2012 that Surrey engineer Saad Al-Hilli, 50, and his wife, Iqbal, 47, died alongside her mother and a French cyclist. The Al-Hillis' daughters, Zainab, seven at the time, and Zeena, four, survived the savage attack close to Lake Annecy, in eastern France. The motorcyclist wearing a highly distinctive helmet was spotted nearby, and many felt certain that he would unlock the mystery of what really happened. But now it has emerged that he was ‘positively identified’ last month, and has now been ‘ruled out as the murderer’. A legal source close to police in Chambery, who interviewed the unidentified man, said: ‘He was seen on a nearby road within minutes of the murders, but it took many months to track him down.’ The man is from Lyon, eastern France, and was paragliding in the Alps during particular warm weather. ‘He is no longer considered suspicious, but may be re-interviewed over what he may have seen around the area,’ said the source. It was in 2013 that the police finally issued a photo-fit image of the motorcyclist, and this is thought to have helped identify him. The latest development is a huge setback for Eric Maillaud, the prosecutor leading the enquiry, who has already admitted that those responsible may never be caught. Conceding that the enquiry could go on for years to come, Mr Maillaud said last year: ‘We have tried everything possible, but perhaps we’re in the presence of the perfect crime.’ Murders: The Al-Hillis died alongside Mrs Al-Hilli's mother and a French cyclist, while their two young daughters survived the savage attack close to Lake Annecy, in eastern France . Mrs Al-Hilli died next to her mother, Suhaila al-Allaf, 74, while local cyclist Sylvain Mollier, 45, was killed by a hail of bullets before being dragged along the ground and crushed by a car. Not a suspect: A forensic drawing shows the motorcyclist who has now been ruled out . There have been claims that Mr Al-Hilli was involved in a dispute over a family inheritance with his brother Zaid Al-Hilli, 54, of Chessington, Surrey. Zaid Al-Hilli was arrested in 2013 under suspicion of conspiracy to murder but then released because he has a watertight alibi. Eric Devouassoux, a 49-year-old old former policeman from the Annecy area, also spent four days in custody over the killings in February. The gun collector is still being investigated for arms trafficking, but there has been no legal action linked to the four murders. There are also well sourced claims that cyclist Mr Mollier may have been the intended victim due. He was linked to a multi-million pounds fortune through his relationship with an heiress. Zainab and Zeena, the surviving daughters, are now in the care of members of the

Summary: French police has ruled out a suspect in the 2012 Al-Hilli murders . Saad Al-Hilli, 50, his wife, Iqbal, 47, her mother and a cyclist were killed . A motorcyclist seen near the scene in Lake Annecy has been eliminated .


Utah lawmakers have passed a bill that would make it the only state to allow firing squads for carrying out a death penalty if there is a shortage of execution drugs-some even claim the firing squad death is more humane. The passage of the bill by the state Senate on Tuesday comes as states struggle to obtain lethal injection drugs amid a nationwide shortage. The bill's sponsor, Republican Rep. Paul Ray of Clearfield, touted the measure as being a more humane form of execution. Ray argued that a team of trained marksmen is faster and more humane than the drawn-out deaths that have occurred in botched lethal injections. Scroll down for video . is the past becoming the future?: This June 18, 2010, file photo shows the firing squad execution chamber at the Utah State Prison in Draper, Utah and may soon be put back in practice . The bill gives Utah options, he said. 'We would love to get the lethal injection worked out so we can continue with that but if not, now we have a backup plan,' Ray told The Associated Press. Before they are shot to death, inmates may have a last meal. In Utah the prisoners will not be allowed a final cigarette - as has historically been the custom before facing a firing squad. They may offer a final word right before their execution. Firing squad executions are usually executed by five or so police officers with .30-caliber Winchester rifles in rapid succession aimed at the chest. The prisoner is then hooded and over their heart is placed a small circular target. In one of the rifles is a blank bullet so each gunman can believe they were not the one who fired a fatal shot. The state has carried out three executions by firing squad since the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976. Utah's last firing squad execution was that of murderer Ronnie Lee Gardner in 2010. He was pronounced dead just two minutes after the 12:15 am execution at 12:17 am. Opponents, however, said firing squads are a cruel holdover from the state's wild West days and will earn the state international condemnation. 'I think Utah took a giant step backward,' said Ralph Dellapiana, director of Utahns for Alternatives to the Death Penalty. He called firing squads 'a relic of a more barbaric past.' Dellapiana said the legislature should be discussing whether, not how, to execute citizens. Whether Ray's proposal will become law in the conservative Western state is unclear: Utah Governor Gary Herbert, a Republican, won't say if he'll sign the measure. His spokesman, Marty Carpenter, did issue a statement this week acknowledging that the method would give Utah a legitimate backup method if execution drugs are unavailable. Utah American Civil Liberties Union representative Anna Brower said the organization is still holding out hope that Herbert will not sign the bill. The legislation would make Utah 'look backwards and backwoods,' she said. The measure narrowly passed the House in February, where additional lawmakers had to be called in to break

Paul Ray of Clearfield, touted the measure as being a more humane form of execution . There have been several drawn-out deaths that have occurred in botched lethal injections .

The mother of an Alabama girl testified through tears on Monday that the child's grandmother doesn't deserve to live after being convicted of running her nine-year-old granddaughter to death. Heather Walker took the stand in support of prosecutors who want the death penalty for her former mother-in-law, Joyce Hardin Garrard. Walker said the 49-year-old Garrard 'shouldn't be spared' after being convicted of capital murder in the death of Savannah Hardin. Scroll down for video . Savannah Hardin (left) died in 2012 after her grandmother punished her by making her run around the house for three hours. Her mother, Heather Walker (right), told the court that she believes her ex-mother-in-law deserves the death penalty . Joyce Hardin Garrard was found guilty of capital murder on Friday. After more than three hours of deliberation an Etowah County jury found Garrard guilty of murder in the death of nine-year-old granddaughter, Savannah Hardin . 'I personally feel like I see no remorse and she took away my baby's life,' Walker said of Garrard. Seated just a few feet away at the defense table, Garrard showed no emotion. Meanwhile, much of Walker's testimony was hard to understand because she was sobbing uncontrollably. Walker, who is divorced from Garrard's son Robert and has since remarried, said she wasn't allowed to see Savannah during the last two years of the girl's life. She had sent multiple care packages that were returned to her, and when she would phone the numbers, eventually all the contact numbers she had had been changed. But then one day a number she didn't recognize phoned her, she told the court on Monday, and it was Robert calling to say Savannah had suffered brain swelling following a seizure . 'How soon can you get here?', he asked. At that point in her testimony Ms Walker burst into tears, detailing how she tried frantically to get more information. When she finally tracked her daughter down at Children's Hospital a person on the line said she needed 'the grandmother's permission' to give Heather any information. Joyce tried to keep Heather from being alone with Savannah when she did get there. Monday on the stand Heather sobbed as described her daughter, who looked normal other than some blood on her face, but was nonetheless hooked up to machines with a fatal injury. Savannah never had ADHD to her memory and had no injuries or other medical issues. ''I couldn't understand how that could just happen,' she said she thought. Heather had not seen daughter Savannah in the year before her death, as she moved out of state to live with her father and stepmother. Jessica says she repeatedly sent things, which would be returned to sender to her . Jurors convicted Garrard on Friday and now must decide whether to recommend death or life without parole, the only options under Alabama law. The final decision is up to the judge. Garrard showed no reaction when the guilty verdict was read, but she hugged her three attorneys before being led out of court by deputies. She glared toward the

Savannah had a seizure and died three days later in hospital . Heather Walker, Savannah's mother, said Garrard 'shouldn't be spared' as she emotionally testified in court . Garrard was found guilty of murder on Friday and faces death penalty .


She shot to fame as the relentlessly cheery but dim-witted Nursie, mocked by Lord Blackadder for her dotty, unworldly utterances. And it seems that in real life, actress Patsy Byrne was equally naive when it came to her own financial affairs – her newly released will reveals that she grossly underestimated the fortune she had amassed. Her instructions were that five of her six stepchildren should inherit £20,000 each, with the remainder of her estate going to the sixth. Scroll down for video . Patsy Byrne, right, who played Nursie in Blackadder died last year aged 80 leaving a £1.5 million estate . Ms Byrne, right, left £20k each to four of her daughters and the remainder of her estate to the fifth . However, the remaining share of Ms Byrne's estate was worth in the region of £900,000 . But when she died at the age of 80 last year, Ms Byrne actually left £1.5 million – leaving stepdaughter Monica Seccombe with a potential £900,000 legacy, after inheritance tax. Happily, Ms Seccombe has shared out the money equally with her four sisters; their brother Christopher having died last year at the age of 58, leaving no children. Ms Seccombe, a construction industry lawyer from Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, told The Mail on Sunday: ‘When she drew up her will, she didn’t realise how much money she had. ‘Her estate will be distributed equally to all her stepchildren.’ And explaining why she had been in line for a bigger share of the legacy, Ms Seccombe added: ‘There was no family bust-up; she just wanted me to sort things out after her death as I am a solicitor.’ Another stepdaughter, Margaret Seccombe from Guildford, Surrey, said: ‘The largest part of the estate was left to Monica to distribute as she saw fit. There was no argument about it. My stepmother arranged it that way so there could be some flexibility just in case one of us had died or another of us was in poverty at the time of her death. There has been full consultation with all the family.’ Probate records released last week reveal that Byrne left £50,000 to both The Theatrical Guild, which supports backstage staff, and the Denville Hall care home for actors in Northwood, Middlesex, where she died last June. She had moved there a few months previously from Kennington, South London, when she became frail. The family also agreed to make a further £50,000 donation to St Joseph’s Hospice in Hackney, East London, and £20,000 to the Little Sisters Of The Poor Care Home in Kennington. Monica Seccombe added: ‘My stepmother also wanted some little things and mementoes to go to friends.’ A classically trained actress who toured with the Royal Shakespeare Company, Byrne became a household name in 1986 when she took the role of Nursie to Miranda Richardson’s petulant Elizabeth I in Blackadder II. The Rowan Atkinson sitcom was the highlight of a long career in theatre, which started when she attended drama school in London. She was on an RSC tour of Latin America in 1964

With their silver hair and kind smiles, Christine Smith, Sheila Henderson and June Senior look like three normal grandmothers, enjoying a quiet drink and a chat. But their innocent looks bely a wilder reality and when the trio, who are aged between 61 and 64, travel abroad on one of their regular grannies’ trips, all thoughts of a quiet life are left behind. Instead of enjoying quiet days out with their grandchildren, fancy dress, colourful cocktails and Spanish party spots are the order of the day for the three Barnsley pensioners.

If I’ve had a drink especially.' But husband Tony, 67, doesn’t mind being left behind or his wife’s flirty behaviour and indulges in several solo weeks in Spain himself. According to Christine, ‘What happens in Tenerife, stay in Tenerife’, with all three ladies happy to make the most of their time abroad. 'When I went to Tenerife for my son’s 40th I got dressed up as a hooker,' reveals Christine, admitting she got into trouble with a local woman, who thought she was a rival escort invading her patch. Leading the charge: Christine is the ringleader and says 'no man is safe' when she is out and about . Propping up the bar: The trio have long been fans of wild all-night parties . Apologies: June says the trio often have to apologise when they return to bars following a booze-fuelled night . Just as excitable is June who rides a mobility scooter as a result of having had 10 leg operations. Not that she has any plans to slow down. 'When she gets on that scooter, you’ve got to watch out because you’re never safe,' says

Three kids were pictured hitching a ride on the back of a subway car on Monday evening and some people claim to see a spooky skull in the photo. The children were on the back of an uptown express train leaving the station at 96th Street around 6pm, in a photo shared with Westsiderag. It may have been a 2, 3 or 5 train that was leaving the Upper West Side station. Three kids were seen clinging to the back of an uptown express train leaving the 96th Street station on the Upper West Side at about 6pm on Monday evening . The man who took the photo, Sean Futterman, said the skull image may have just been a trick of the light .

A concerned commuter, Sean Futterman, snapped a photo of the kids and sent it to the West Side Rag. Futterman, a real-estate broker in Manhattan, yelled at the kids to get off the train, PIX 11 reported. The children responded with laughs and curses as the train sped off. No police officers were in the station at the time, according to Futterman. He said the skull image in his photo is could just be a trick of the light, but did admit to noticing 'something strange underneath the subway car'. MTA official Kevin Ortiz was shown the photo. After seeing it, he said: 'Stupidity knows no bounds.' Earlier in the day, a 54-year-old woman who was trying to move between subway cars was hit by a train after she slipped and fell to the tracks below. Lorraine Ogarro of the Bronx was on a 1 train headed downtown when she fell off near the 207 Street station in Inwood around 10.30am, according to the New York Post. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Rangers are determined to exhaust every possible avenue in a bid to avoid paying Newcastle United £500,000 for the five loan players sent north under the instructions of Derek Llambias. The small print of the deal emerged on Monday as the club posted half-yearly losses of £2.89million. The accounts also revealed the new board are still searching for a nominated advisor (NOMAD) to avoid being de-listed on the Stock Exchange - and that the club's auditors Deloitte quit in June in a move that was not revealed by the previous regime. Gael Bigirimana (left), Haris Vuckic (middle) and Remie Streete (right) pose after their loan moves to Rangers . Interim chairman Paul Murray described that as a sign of the 'staggering mismanagement' that had gone on at Ibrox. But fans have been left aghast at the stunning revelation that should Rangers win promotion through the play-offs this season they will have to fork out £500,000 to Newcastle . Of the loanees, only Haris Vuckic has seen regular first-team action while Remie Streete was injured in his only top-team appearance. Shane Ferguson, Gael Bigirimana and Kevin Mbabu are unlikely to ever appear as they battle back from either illness or injury. 'It's another kick in the teeth for Rangers fans,' said Craig Houston, of the campaigning Rangers supporters group Sons of Struth. 20-year-old defender Streete suffered an injury in his one and only first-team appearance for Rangers . 'I think it's right for the board to pursue this. I have faith in the guys running Rangers now and this is not the only deal they will be trying to unfold and unravel. 'But it's a bit of a cheek. Derek Llambias sold the idea as these five costing Rangers no money. But we've since found out there's £1,000 to be paid each per week, and it's my belief the club is paying for rental property, too. Now we find out about this lump sum if we are promoted. 'The night the transfers went through, we saw the players leaving Newcastle but nobody saw them arrive at Murray Park prior to signing. 'We've been questioning for a while the ridiculous decision to not give them medicals. Had they done that, it would show two were injured and would probably never pull on a blue jersey and a third was ill and couldn't play football.' The controversial deal was struck by the club's previous board led by chief executive Llambias – a cohort of Newcastle owner Mike Ashley. Sportsmail understands however that the new board are now set to approach the Scottish FA and their English counterpart as they seek advice on whether there are grounds for quashing the £500,000 payment clause. The bombshell that Rangers – who would earn just £342,000 for finishing second in the league – would have to shell out the cash to Newcastle if they are promoted emerged as the Ibrox club released 'disappointing' financial results. Interim chairman Murray railed against the previous regime after announcing the near £3m loss for the six months to December last year. Vuckic is

The small print of the deal emerged on Monday as Rangers posted six-month losses of £2.89 million . Of the loanees, only Haris Vuckic has seen regular first-team action while Remie Streete was injured in his only senior appearance .

Dressed in identical outfits and smiling sweetly for the camera, it's hard to believe these healthy twin toddlers were not expected to survive. Rosie and Ruby Formosa, two, from Bexleyheath in south east London, were born joint at the abdomen sharing the same intestines and a team of 15 doctors spent five hours separating the pair. A life-threatening blockage meant they were transferred to Great Ormond Street Hospital for emergency surgery but almost three years on and the identical twins are fighting fit. Scroll down for video . Family: Angela and Daniel Formosa with twins Ruby (front left) and Rosie (front right) and sister Lily, seven . Their mother, Angela Formosa, 34, says the girls have been almost inseparable since they were detached from each other in July 2012. She said: 'Wherever they are, they need to know where the other is. Even at nursery surrounded by all their little friends, they are constantly looking to see where the other one is. 'If I'm getting Ruby dressed first, Rosie will run off, find the exact same outfit and pester me until I dress her exactly the same. It's been like that ever since we brought them home. 'They used to crawl around the house chasing one another. Normally Rosie will learn something first - like talking - and within a week Ruby will have caught up - they're just little copycats really.' Mrs Formosa was only 16 weeks pregnant when a scan revealed to her and taxi-driver husband, Daniel, 39, that the twins were conjoined. Together: Ruby and Rosie, who were born with the same intestine in July 2012, are 'inseparable' The couple, who also have a seven-year-old daughter, Lily, prepared themselves for the worst as doctors gave the girls a small chance of survival as they couldn't definitively see where the connection was. Conjoined twins occur every 200,000 births, however, as few as five per cent of those births actually survive being born. Mrs Formosa, a full-time mother, said: 'Hearing the girls were conjoined was the shock of our lives. 'I'd heard of it, but I never expected it to happen to me. I was nervous the whole way through the pregnancy but tried to shut it to the back of my mind. 'When I heard their two little cries when they were born, the worry subsided, but only for a while.' Almost immediately after being delivered by caesarean section at University College Hospital, London, Rosie and Ruby were whisked off to Great Ormond Street Hospital to be operated on. They were delivered at 34 weeks and weighed 5lb 3oz each and the following day they were operated on to clear a life-threatening intestinal blockage. 'Those were the most difficult 24 hours of our lives,' Mrs Formosa added. 'Having my babies taken off my almost immediately after they're born and not knowing if either would survive was heartbreaking. 'When the doctors came out to say the surgery had been a success and that the girls were both fine, it was like the world had been lifted off our shoulders. Complications: Rosie,

Bungling: Stewart Garner suffered a grazed chin after being tackled to the ground by Paul Thomas . A bungling burglar was spotted and caught by his victim - because of the graze on his chin from when the pair had grappled the day before. Stewart Garner suffered facial injuries when he was tackled to the ground after Paul Thomas caught him in his home in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. Garner, 49, fled the house after grabbing £8 in cash and a £65 pair of trainers from the kitchen counter of the property in Abbey Hulton. But the thief returned to the home 12 hours later and bumped into Mr Thomas, who recognised his grazed chin and distinctive limp. The father-of-two confronted Garner and managed to detain him until the police arrived. Officers then arrested him on suspicion of burglary. Garner - who has 43 previous convictions - was jailed for two years and four months after he admitted burglary. He asked for four other offences to be taken into consideration. Sentencing him at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court, Judge David Fletcher said: 'You are going to have to think very hard about how you deal with your life on your release from prison. 'Nobody is too old to change. If you do not, the rest of your life will be continued institutionalisation, as it has been for the last 33 years.' The court heard Mr Thomas had chased Garner through his home after catching him rummaging around his kitchen at 8.30pm on November 26 last year. The next morning Mr Thomas and his 24-year-old partner were waiting for their son's school taxi when they recognised Garner walk past their house. Speaking after the case, Mr Thomas said: 'What are the odds of us seeing the burglar walk past our house the very next day? 'It was pure chance he walked past at that moment. 'I could tell it was him because he had a grazed chin and I was determined to make sure he was jailed so he can't do this again. 'I knew it was him straight away but I made him remove his hood to be sure. Garner - who has 43 previous convictions - was jailed for two years and four months at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court after he admitted burglary . 'He kept protesting his innocence but I kept him talking until the cops showed up. I basically did the police's job for them. 'It didn't cross my mind that he might be dangerous. It was my instinct to protect my family but I heard my little girl shouting so I went back. 'It's not a long sentence considering he's a repeat offender. I'm just glad I can give people peace of mind knowing he can't do anything while behind bars.'

Islamic State have released their most boring and uninspiring propaganda photos on social media today, revealing gardening as one of the little known past time shared by their supporters. The dull photos appear to be an attempt by the brutal extremist group to show an interest in the environment and other calmer activities. The images were taken in the Iraqi province of Nineveh, home to some of the most fertile earth in the Middle East. The ISIS photographer's report documents the garden nurseries in Nineveh province, Iraq. One grey bearded customer is shown inspecting a pot plant. He appears to be one of the only customers in the empty garden centre. For all the green-fingered ISIS supporters, the state apparently has a range of plants available on sale for cheap prices in the ancient Assyrian province of Nineveh in Iraq. Surprisingly healthy looking orange pansies can be seen neatly potted up in the homemade greenhouse. It appears that when they are not fighting the Kurds or dodging coalition airstrikes, residents in Islamic State enjoy pottering around their garden. Surrounded by a selection of other plants, orange pansies can be seen neatly potted up in the garden centre. Constructed out of green fabric and held together by a bamboo structure, the greenhouse is filled with a selection of garden plants and neatly trimmed trees. Some of the plants appear surprisingly healthy looking considering the fierce heat in Nineveh province, Iraq. It is unclear when the nursery was opened but its dire shortage of customers suggests gardening might not as popular as ISIS had thought in Iraq.

Alice Moffat received a parking ticket after leaving her car in front of her own family's driveway- despite displaying her visitor's badge . A driver was left furious after she received a parking ticket for pulling up outside her parents' home. Alice Moffat was hit with the £25 fine after she parked her car across the driveway while visiting April and Steve Moffat at their house in Yeovil, Somerset. The 23-year-old, from Redhill, Surrey, had even placed the visitor's permit in the window just in case and left it overnight. But she was shocked when she returned to the car the next morning to find a traffic warden had slapped a ticket on the red Renault because it was parked just centimetres outside a marked bay. Ms Moffat, whose family have lived in Yeovil for 15 years, said: 'I drove back to the family home late, and parked over my parents' drive as I almost always do when I know they are not needing to go out that night. 'Just to be on the safe side, I also put the visitors permit in my car - not that it really needs to be there as I'm over my parents' drive. 'My brother saw a parking warden looking at my car. He thought this was unusual so went out to see what was wrong. I was shocked to discover the parking warden was issuing me a ticket. 'My younger brother immediately asked why, he said 'the permit is in, it's my sisters car so we're allowed to park over our own drive' but the parking warden simply replied saying the car was 'outside of a marked bay. 'He meant my wheel was a fraction over the white line of the bay behind, but not obstructing anyone or any car.' Ms Moffat, an actuary, said she and her brother had tried to reason with the warden, and had offered the move the car immediately to no avail. 'The warden replied saying he had already printed the ticket so there was no point,' she added. The 23-year-old had parked in front of the drive in Yeovil, Somerset (pictured) but was given a fine after being told she had not parked in the correct bay . 'I nearly always park over my parents drive, I had a permit in my car to be sure it was okay, and if I was a few centimetres forward, it would not have affected anybody or any car. 'I am now left with fine to pay because my car was parked over my own family's driveway. 'I think this shows very clearly what all the national press are saying, councils in England are simply using parking fines as a 'cash cow'. 'They were going so by the book and they didn't use any common sense.' Alice added: 'I have spoken to neighbours who said they have had a similar problem with getting parking fines while parked just slightly over the white lines. 'It's just so frustrating for my family, as they have to pay for their resident and visitor parking

Three Watertown police officers have recalled their chaotic gun battle with the Boston bombers four days after the explosions that killed three people and injured 264. Testifying at Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's trial on Monday, the officers also recounted the terrifying moment he raced towards them in his getaway car - but fatally struck his older brother, Tamerlan, as he fled. The brothers fired a gun at three police officers and hurled bombs at them, including one that was similar to the devices used in the April 15, 2013 attack, the officers testified. Watertown Police patrolman John Reynolds recalled chasing the brothers in two cars hours after they allegedly shot and killed a police officer in nearby Cambridge, and having a large bomb thrown at him and a colleague as they tried to arrest the Tsarnaevs. On trial: In this courtroom sketch, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, center, is depicted between defense attorneys while the boat in which he was captured in sits on a trailer for observation during his federal death penalty trial . Getting a close look: The jury visited the bullet-ridden boat where he was found in April 2013 . 'My ears were ringing, I could hear all the car alarms going off for many blocks around us, there was a huge cloud of smoke,' he testified in court in Boston. 'I could feel all the debris landing on me.' The gun battle continued for eight minutes, he said, . 'It felt like there were hundreds of rounds,' he said. 'It was non-stop.' The jury saw a photo taken during the gun battle, showing two people that Watertown Police Sergeant John MacClellan identified as the Tsarnaev brothers, crouching in front of a black Mercedes during the gunfight, which played out on a street tightly packed with houses. James Foley, who lived on the block, testified that he was sleeping in the living room of his home with his three-week-old son when he was awakened by gunshots. 'I looked outside and I could see guns firing,' Foley said. 'I didn't look for long. I saw that it was pretty serious and I wanted to get my kid back upstairs to the back of his house and into his crib.' Reynolds, MacClellan and a third officer, Sergeant Jeff Pugliese, attempted to tackle Tamerlan, who was a trained martial artist. As they struggled to handcuff him, Dzhokhar sped towards them in the black Mercedes that the brothers had carjacked. Reynolds said he heard the engine revving. Found: Investigators work near a boat in Watertown, Massachusetts the day after Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was found hiding inside in April 2013. On Monday, the jury in his death penalty trial visited the boat . Evidence: A still video image shows the covered boat being transported for viewing by the jurors on Monday . 'Get off! Get off! He's coming back toward us!' he recalled himself shouting. He fired and hit the windshield as Dzhokhar drove towards them but he didn't stop. An officer tried to pull Tamerlan out of the way but couldn't, ABC reported. 'Tamerlan was run over by the

Summary: Three police officers testified about the harrowing gun battle in Watertown, Massachusetts during Tsarnaev's trial on Monday . Before their testimony, jurors visited the bullet-riddled vessel where he was found hiding after the shootout . They were lifted inside the boat to see the notes he scrawled inside denouncing the U.S. for its wars in Muslim countries . Tsarnaev, now 21, is on trial for the bombings that killed three and injured more than 260, but his attorneys say he was recruited by his brother . If convicted, the same jury will decide if he should get the death penalty .

'We understand how difficult this has been for Cassandra and her family, but we have had full confidence throughout that the medical professionals involved in her treatment would be successful in saving her life .' Doctors said the chemotherapy would give her an 85 per cent chance of survival, but without it there was a near-certainty of death within two years.
