And now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Geeta Pendse.

A woman who was abused by the same man over an eight year period says

she's now living in fear all over again.

Keith Williams, who was given FIVE life sentences at Derby Crown Court,

has just been told he's eligible to be released from prison. Simon Hare

The local paper called him a beast when he was jailed 15 years ago.

It's a description of Keith Williams that one of his victims agrees with.

This is a monster, not a man. He is not just a paedophile, here's a

rapist. He is violent. He is evil. He is just a monster. During his

sentence, he managed to get threatening messages to Joe. He will

say things like, tell him I'm ` tell her I'm working out at the gym, as

if to say I'm getting stronger. Tell her I'm coming. Tell her this isn't

over. But today, the authorities confirmed he has been given parole.

He should be released within the next two weeks. The abuse took place

over several years in a pub here on the edge of the Swadlincote in South

Derbyshire. It has since been demolished and since Williams was

convicted, Joe has been trying to rebuild her life. But she says

knowing that he is now eligible for release has made her fearful for the

future. He will not be able to contact Joe or even enter an

exclusion zone of about 20 miles around Swadlincote. But that hasn't

put her mind at rest. You are not talking about a law`abiding citizen,

you are talking about a monster, who lives by his own rules and believes

in his own lies. People need to be aware so they can stay vigilant and

stay safe because this man is very dangerous and whoever is responsible

for releasing him, well, they will be accountable when he re`offence.

The parole board says it only releases prisoners when they are

satisfied they no longer pose a risk. Unlike the newspaper has line,

that is not a view shared by Jo. ` headline.

He was targeted by members of a rival gang but two years on, one of

the suspects still hasn't been caught. That suspect is a man called

Palmer, who grew up and went to school in Nottingham but the police

believe he is now in hiding in Kingston, Jamaica. It was the

country where he was born. Now, detectives are offering a reward of

$1 million Jamaican, that is more than ?5,000, for information leading

to his arrest. This is the murder of a young man that was assassinated in

a car park. It is really important that for the benefit of people in

Nottingham, but specifically the Kinsey's family, we bring everyone

to justice if we possibly can. Police in Jamaica have already tried

to find him in response to an international arrest warrant.

Believe he was part of a gang that killed McKenzie. His friend has

already been found guilty of firing the gun. He will serve 34 years in

are taking guns onto the streets of Nottingham and shooting people. The

man may not have done what he did that night if he had not had that

level of support. In accord, a jury will decide what happens. There's

substantial sum of money up for his arrest. It is a real incentive for

someone to turn him in. leader of Derby City Council.

This evening the Labour party in Derby held an AGM which voted off

Paul Bayliss. Ranjit Banwait was voted in as the new party leader and

will be the council leader until an Next, what will the result of the

European elections mean for the next big political contest? That's the

question on the minds of party In the era of spin doctors, it's

almost reassuring that there is scope for something as old`fashioned

as interesting meeting. Tonight, the representatives of the main parties

have been open to questions and answers from some of the voters who

will be voting for their new MP in just over a week's time. There were

questions on East Midlands Hamblin 's response times, the degrading of

the hospital services, the rail connections. Europe hardly got a

look in. The by`election is proving to be a crucial one. David Cameron

is investing a lot of personal capital in winning this by`election

for the Conservatives. More... Ed Miliband is visiting the hospital

tomorrow. William Hague will be here, together with the deputy

leader of UKIP. A lot of big hitters are coming here. It's another

indication of why the result of this by`election is so crucial.

It has been a complete contrast this week compared with last week. We've

picked up a cool easterly wind and that will bring in some showery rain

over the next couple of days. It will also continue to make it feel

quite chilly. There will be a few showers around this evening. We will

be keeping the temperatures up to night so the cloud, wind and rain

will hold those temperatures up. Tomorrow morning, we will start off

with this rain. It will become more patchy as we head into the

afternoon. It will stay cloudy and quite windy. Fairly disappointing

temperatures. From the Outlook, it looks as though we will stay quite

showery on Thursday with things slowly improving towards the end of

the week. That's it from Thursday and then it becomes drier

with sunshine by the weekend. If you've been sat at home with

miserable Mayweather today wondering why on earth we didn't go abroad for

half term week, we are just going to add insult to injury because people

have been basking in some sunshine across southern Spain. Fairly

overcast skies in Paris but nevertheless, still 17 degrees.

Across eastern England it was cold, 13 degrees with persistent rain.

Better across the north-west Highlands. The reason for the cloud

and rain was this frontal system, rather breezy as well. The rain

continues through the night, some a bit heavy to the east of the

Pennines. Another miserable day in prospect particularly for eastern
