02/07/2014 East Midlands Today

This is East Midlands Today with so it's goodbye from me and

This is East Midlands Today with Sarah Teale and me Dominic Heale.

Tonight: A grieving family's agonising wait for answers. First

tonight: The brother of a tdacher who was murdered on the holhday

island of Bali says his famhly are enduring an agonising wait for

answers about how she died. When the alleged assailant broke ten, was she

asleep, did she come back to the villa and find him there? Wd do not

know. And bare knuckle boxing comes to the region but is it barbaric or

just a bit of fun? Plus the killer who murdered his love rival starts

the 23 year jail term. And the farm where animals die of old agd. Good

evening and welcome to the programme. The brother of the

teacher who was murdered on the holiday island of Ali says the

family are enduring an agonhsing wait for answers about how she died.

`` Bali. Anne`Marie Drozdz was found dead at her home in May. Her family

here in Hinckley say they'rd horrified that photographs of her

body are online. And that they still have no idea about what happened.

Anne`Marie's brother, Greg Drozdz spoke exclusively to our reporter

Helen Astle. It has been a terrible nightmare. At times it has been

overwhelming. We have thrown ourselves into the practicalities of

trying to deal with the aftdrmath. Then in the quieter moments when we

start to reflect we become very very sad. The 49 euros was working

as a teacher in Bali. Six wdeks on from our death her family still have

questions as to what happendd. Was she in the villa at the timd when

the alleged assailant broke in, what's she asleep, or did she come

back to the villa and find him there? We still do not know. What we

do know is that she was in ` fight, it she put up the struggle `nd she

lost. She was strangled with a rope. Because the Indonesian medi` is not

quite as restricted as it is here you do not have to go very far

before you find a picture of a corpse. Indonesian police h`ve been

investigating a suspect. He has been in custody for a month. The family

say the waiting for an cancdr is a nightmare. It is a very distressing

time. Bali has the dual repttation, some people call it paradisd but for

us it is hail. Next tonight, a bare knuckle boxing night is due to take

place in Hinckley on Saturd`y. It has been described as are B`rry for

some people. Our reporter h`s been following the story. `` described as

barbaric. Whether it is Carol Froch at Wembley Stadium or a grotp of

kids training at their local cop `` club on a Wednesday night, ht

attracted interest. A planndd fight this weekend is proving

controversial. The gloves are off and this man cannot wait. Hd is

training for the bare knuckle boxing event at Hinckley on Saturd`y. It is

exciting. It is what people want to see. It is an old generation thing

that you cannot find in othdr combat sports. The hope to post thd fight

here at the Hinckley United football club. Ill macro I was brought up

here at a young age. It is ` gentleman's sport. Every fighter I

have ever known has always been a gentleman. Today, reaction to the

sport is mixed. I do not like it at all. It sounds barbaric. I think it

will be good. It is a sport that has been away for many years. If they

want to have a punch`up it hs their choice. I'd macro it is thotght to

be one of the biggest public events of this sport in the UK. Thd

question is, is it safe? Anxone participating or supporting the

fight was also acting illeg`lly I do not think this has changdd. It is

the practice that was banned for good reasons a century ago. We

cannot have people attempting to seriously injure another person We

have medics, an ambulance on stand`by, a hospital tent. Ht is

better on the wall for safety. I am hoping it is a very quick fhght and

I knock him out. I am a strhpper on the weekends and I have a couple of

jobs booked in for after thd fight! Whether this weekend's fight is even

legal should become clear l`ter in the week. Should fight like this

even take place? I do not think so. It is very dangerous. You are

hitting somebody's body and head with bare knuckles. You are not only

damaging your own hands, it is much safer with gloves. They would say

they have a long history and the long tradition, does it not deserve

a place in the sports books? I do not know whether they deserve a

place in history, it is all gone. You have got to be safer now. Before

we hear from the police we have to assume this weekend's game will be

going ahead but it is controversial. You're watching East Midlands Today.

Still to come: The farm where cows can end their days naturallx, away

from the shadow of the slaughterhouse. Plus, as thd pollen

count peaks, a warning, it hs an offence to drive if your hax fever

tablets make you drowsy. The father of two young children has

been told he will serve at least 23 years in prison, for murderhng a man

who was having an affair with his wife. Heteny Tarsoly was fotnd

guilty on Monday of killing David Hunter with a crowbar. Sentdncing

him at Derby Crown Court today, the judge said he understood thd

provocation Tarsoly was suffering, but that was no justification for

such a murder. James Roberson reports. It was in January this year

that 54`year`old a good hunter was found dead. He had had and ` fair

Isle with the hon Mary and ` fair Isle with a handy alien wom`n

colleague while they both worked as bus drivers. `` he had an affair

with a hunky avian colleagud. `` Hungarian. Her husband attacked Mr

Hunter when he heard his wife was having a relationship with him. The

judge accepted that he feardd he would lose his relationship with his

wife and children because of the divorce but that was no exctse for

hitting his rival with a crowbar and killing them. We are pleased justice

has been served and it is over but that does not bring David b`ck. Two

families have been destroyed because of the actions of that night. When

released from jail, he will be deported back to Hungary. Hd is not

expected to see his children again. Portuguese detectives investigating

the disappearance of Leicestershire girl Madeleine McCann are bdginning

to interview 11 possible witnesses. The questioning of four suspects has

already taken place. Our Correspondent Jeremy Cooke has just

sent this report from Praia da Luz. We now know that the questioning of

the four new potential suspdcts in this case was concluded last night.

Today, the focus of attention has been on a list of 11 potenthal

witnesses. They have been interviewed down the road at the

local police station. Local police officers have been asking the

questions but Metropolitan Police officers have also been in

attendance. This whole development in the case seems to have come from

the work of the British teal of place officers investigating this

case. No`one is making any comment on or off the record for thd link

with these witnesses might be to the suspects from the case all those

years ago. We were told the questioning of the four suspects was

concluded yesterday evening and unfortunately the interviews have

led to no new developments `nd we are back to where we were sdven

years ago. A man from Nottinghamshire has been ch`rged

under terrorism laws. 19`ye`r`old Adeel Ulhaq from Sutton`in`@shfield

will appear before the Old Bailey on the 18th of July. It's alleged he

was raising money for charity, which was to be used to fund terrorism in

Syria. It has been announced the Queen is to visit Derbyshird next

week. She'll be in Matlock on the 10th of July along with the Duke of

Edinburgh. The royal party will visit the John Smedley knitwear

factory nearby, before going to meet the crowds at Chatsworth Hotse. Next

tonight: A Police Commissioner says the way to stop the children of

criminals from offending thdmselves is to offer them more support. Clive

Loader was speaking as agencies across Leicestershire and Rttland

launched a new Young Adult Project. The aim is to stop youngsters

getting involved in crime. Our Social Affairs Correspondent Jeremy

Ball reports. This boy finally has somewhere to lay his hat after three

years without a home. He moved to this supported bedsit just weeks

before his birthday. He was only 15 when his mum kicked him out because

of trouble. His life was sphralling out of control. I was staying out,

drinking, I was then with the wrong crowd. It led to problems, stealing

from shops, eventually I got arrested. His story is all too

common. Tonight the project met to discuss how to stop young pdople

getting drawn into crime in the first place. There are stark

statistics about young people who end up behind bars. 25% of xoung men

locked up in young offenders institutions are already fathers.

65% of the children of prisoners go on to offend themselves. We can give

them skills, look after thel, mentor them and give them support. When I

was on my own I thought it would not make any difference, I would go to

jail and I could not be doing better than I was doing anyway, I had no

peers about anything. I'd m`cro he is living proof that young offenders

can turn their lives around. He is at college learning skills for the

music industry and he has even made up with his mum. When it coles to

farming, one community group in Leicester is going back to hts

roots. Plans are in place to create a dairy where cows would be milked

by hand and bulls would plotgh the fields, just like they did centuries

ago. And when they're too old to work, the animals won't be facing a

trip to the slaughterhouse. Sumeer Kalyani's been to the Ahims` Farm to

find out more. It is the ultimate retirement home for cows. These two

are no longer producing milk. They will spend their old age behng

looked after at this farm in Leicestershire. A cow can lhve to 20

years of age but in a lot of conventional Davies they ard killed

when they no longer produce milk. We do not think that is a way to treat

them. `` Davies. `` Gary 's. `` dairies. We argue there is ` strong

reason to use boules to clotd the earth. They do not compress the

Earth and there are green rdasons like not having to use fuel. The

principal of the daily foundation behind this project are keen to

uphold. This is how real sl`ughter free daily farming should h`ppen.

Plans are already in place to create a commercial TV farm at this site.

Up to 40 cows would be milkdd by hand. `` dairy. Still to cole, slip

sliding away. Bristol's had one San Francisco's had one and now, it

seems, Derby is to get a gi`nt water slide of its own. Next tonight: If

you get hay fever you probably have to rely upon a daily dose of

antihistimines. But did you know it can be an offence to drive hf your

tablets make you drowsy? Thd pollen count was at its peak today and many

sufferers will have been re`ching for their medication. But ndw

research shows many drivers ignore the warnings on the side of the

packs. Here's Jo Healey. Thhs should be lovely, a stroll in the park on a

gorgeous day but for many it just means itchy eyes, a streaming nose

and constant sneezing. This morning I got to work and my eyes wdre

itching and my throat was clammy. It makes your nose itchy and when you

sneeze it is really annoying. Some medication for hay fever can make

you unfit to drive. New resdarch shows nearly one third of drivers do

not realise this and nearly one half do not even bother to check yet it

is an offence to drive when unfit through drugs and that incltdes hay

fever medication. A nurse who specialises in allergies saxs there

are alternatives. The old ones like Britain are quite sedating. They are

best to avoid if you have to drive. You have to check you are not

getting drowsy on your medication. Why is the pollen count so high We

had a lot of good weather through June and Noreen saw nothing to wash

the pollen grains away. `` no green to wash the pollen away. `` rain.

Now the sport. First from md, Derby County have reiterated midfhelder

Craig Bryson isn't for sale, but has he had his head turned by the

promise of the Premier Leagte? Matty James has signed a new four year

deal for Leicester. QPR are said to be the latest club interestdd in

signing Craig Bryson. The R`ms have already rejected a bid from Burnley,

but in the last seven days Derby have secured the futures of four key

players including loyal defdnder Jake Buxton, as Kirsty Edwards

reports. The season ended whth grey skies over Derby. Heartbreak as the

dream of Premier League was truly snatched away at the final hurdle.

This is another club dwelling on what might have been. The ftture is

bright and this young man is pleased to be a part of it. I am pldased I

will stay. When Derby made ht clear they wanted me to stay it w`s easy

to get it on. They pushed md to say I wanted to stay as well. The club

are working hard to keep thd spine of the team together. Will Hughes

just signed another four`ye`r contract yesterday. They recognise

the commitment and quality of performance from the lads l`st

season. I think it has been good for the football club. The new Deal

comes five years after she joined the club. It did not take hhm long

to get his name on the scordsheet and since then he has had a number

of roles. He has cult hero status with the fans. He was voted player

of the season last year. I dnjoyed last season. We progressed `s the

season went on and the club has moved forward since I came here I

just thought we could take ht one more step. Cricket and Engl`nd today

confirmed Nottinghamshire's Stuart Broad is in the squad for the first

test against India at Trent Bridge next week. Nottinghamshire lost

their County Championship g`me against Warwickshire this afternoon

by three wickers. But they've moved eight points clear at the top of the

table. And in the tour match at Derbyshire. Onto tennis and on the

day when Andy Murray was knocked out of Wimbledon, two East Midl`nds

teenagers, one from Nottingham and one from Derby, played their first

ever match at SW19. Murray's family is steeped in tennis, but otr two

youngsters have made it the hard way. Mark Shardlow reports. It was

quite a day for Marcus Waltdrs and a long way for the toddler who picked

up a racket in front of his parents. He was two years old, I rang the

tennis centre and a gentlem`n came on the phone and said if yot have

got a two`year`old who can hit the ball I want to see them. He is

full`time with tennis and does his schoolwork at night. The boxs both

played together in the doubles. Although they put up a spirhted

fight the lost 2`1. It has been really good, also getting thckets to

go and see the matches. I w`s getting treated like you do as a

player, free water and free towels. You get escorted to the courts. Both

families have made sacrificds to get the boys this far. I am a driving

instructor, I do bits of cldaning for people and I do tailoring. I am

a driving instructor and his dad works for Marks Spencer 's. Well

done to them both. And finally from me a huge congratulations to Katie

Boulter from Woodhouse Eves in Leicestershire. Kate, who is 17 is

through to the third round of the juniors. She will find out tonight

at eight o'clock who she pl`ys tomorrow in her next match. Finally

this evening: Bristol's had one San Francisco's had one, and now it

seems, Derby is to get one too. Yes, a giant water slide, it's hoped

will be coming to Mickleover later in the year, and organisers are

already being flooded with hundreds of requests to take a ride on the

slide. Paul Bradshaw has more. Fun in the sun. A street in Bristol was

turned into a water in May with hundreds of thrill seekers riding a

giant water slide. It is a scene that could soon be coming to this

street. Plans are underway for a 100 metre slide to be built herd later

in the year. The start of the slide will be up there. It is too

inflatable sites with a slightly section in between. It will run down

to the edge of these trees. He has received three times the nulber of

applications than can be accommodated. I think it is a

wonderful idea, especially for the kids. It is not for me personally

but I think you ought of people will have a good time. Indira Gahniyeva

it is a cultural thing if it carries on year after year. These grills and

spill could be repeated in Derby on Sunday seven September. I al

volunteering to be the reporter when that comes. I think there are a few

in the studio would fancy a go. I am from Derby so I think I shotld go

for you! Some pleasant sunshine around earlier today but cloud has

been increasing gradually throughout the afternoon. Although the cloud

will be with us tomorrow it should be remaining warm and largely drive.

Pollen levels have been verx high today. They will remain that way for

the next couple of days before the rain starts to clear. High pressure

has been in charge giving as dry and settled weather throughout today.

They will be more in the wax of cloud pushing in from the North West

tonight, some fairly thick with spots of rain or drizzle. L`rgely

dry for the night and mild `nd humid. The lot of high cloud around

first thing on Thursday morning The cloud will continue to incrdase and

it looks like it may reduce some spots of light rain or drizzle. For

Nottinghamshire and Leicestdrshire it looks like it should rem`in dry.

A fine dry start on Friday but low pressure is set to bring rahn as we

head Friday evening and into Saturday. More unsettled to end

Now, you will know in this business we have the lot of voices in our

year. One will be silent after today because our top director is

retiring. We want to wish hhm all the very best. Good luck. Goodbye.
