has been charged with murdering three men who were found dead in

:05:13.:05:18.

ditches in Cambridgeshire. The body of Kevin Lee was discovered on the

:05:18.:05:21.

30th March. Four days later, the bodies Lucasz Slaboszewski and John

:05:21.:05:31.
:05:31.:05:32.

Chapman were found at Thorney Dyke. Three men, all starts to death,

:05:32.:05:36.

their bodies found abandoned in water filled ditch is in

:05:36.:05:41.

Cambridgeshire. One woman has been charged with their murders. The

:05:41.:05:44.

Crown Prosecution Service made the official announcement at its office

:05:44.:05:50.

in Chelmsford. We have today advised Cambridgeshire police there is

:05:50.:05:55.

sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest to charge Joanna

:05:55.:05:59.

Dennehy over the deaths of three men whose bodies were found in ditches

:05:59.:06:04.

in Cambridgeshire. Joanna Dennehy has this morning been charged with

:06:04.:06:11.

the murders of Kevin Lee, John Chapman and Lucasz Slaboszewski,

:06:11.:06:21.

which took place in March 2013. Kevin Lee, a builder who was 48, was

:06:21.:06:31.
:06:31.:06:33.

the first to be discovered. A few days later the men were found -- two

:06:33.:06:40.

men were stabbed in Hereford and later found dead at Thorney Dyke.

:06:40.:06:43.

The CPS says Joanna Dennehy was charged this morning and has been

:06:43.:06:51.

charged with the attempted murder already of the two men in Hereford.

:06:51.:06:54.

Three men have also been charged in connection with the murders of the

:06:54.:06:58.

three men, and with the police investigation ongoing there could be

:06:58.:07:07.

further arrests. The man accused of murdering cyclist

:07:07.:07:10.

Delaney Brown has pleaded guilty to manslaughter today. The 19-year-old

:07:10.:07:13.

was struck by a stolen BMW, which mounted the kerb in Luton. Until

:07:13.:07:16.

now, Kyle Beckford had denied being in the car, but today he admitted

:07:16.:07:19.

that he was the driver. Beckford denies murder. The case

:07:19.:07:27.

continues. Armed police have carried out a

:07:27.:07:30.

number of raids in Luton following a shooting at the weekend. There have

:07:30.:07:33.

now been eight shootings in the town since January. Community groups say

:07:33.:07:36.

urgent action is needed to tackle the growing problem of gangs and

:07:36.:07:41.

guns in Luton. Neil Bradford reports. As armed police carried out

:07:41.:07:45.

raids across Luton this morning, they were also dealing with the

:07:45.:07:50.

eighth shooting this year. The shot was fired during an attempted

:07:50.:07:56.

robbery at this shop and no one was hurt. It comes 36 hours after shots

:07:56.:08:02.

were fired from a motorcycle on this road, taking the number of crimes

:08:02.:08:12.
:08:12.:08:15.

involving a gun in Luton to 15 this year. Every time we talk, they think

:08:15.:08:19.

it is just a noise we are making, but we are trying to get people to

:08:19.:08:25.

understand what we are saying. There is a gang problem and it needs to be

:08:25.:08:30.

sorted out. The police insist it is a small number of criminals and they

:08:30.:08:40.
:08:40.:08:42.

are bringing hard to bring this to an end. There are maybe 20 or 30

:08:42.:08:49.

criminals, we have executed search warrants, 17 people have been

:08:49.:08:54.

arrested, and we are taking this extremely seriously. We need the

:08:54.:09:00.

public to come forward and to have confidence. Police have stepped up

:09:00.:09:04.

controls near the area since Sunday's shooting but that in itself

:09:04.:09:14.
:09:14.:09:15.

will not bring results. They say they need the help of the community.

:09:15.:09:17.

Senior councillors in Cambridgeshire are discussing how the council

:09:17.:09:20.

should be run after last week's local elections. The Conservatives

:09:20.:09:22.

lost their overall majority, with UKIP being the big winners, gaining

:09:22.:09:25.

ten seats. And talks have been further complicated because the

:09:25.:09:31.

leader of the council was one of the victims.

:09:31.:09:38.

Cambridgeshire county council is effectively without a leader and in

:09:38.:09:42.

limbo after the elections left no party in overall control. The

:09:42.:09:48.

biggest winners worth UKIP and he says he wants to form a coalition of

:09:48.:09:54.

minor parties. We are here to help make Cambridgeshire a better place

:09:54.:09:57.

to live, and the people of Cambridgeshire have said they don't

:09:57.:10:00.

want the Conservatives to have absolute control and there are a

:10:00.:10:05.

number of options that brings with it. Labour says the idea of a

:10:05.:10:15.
:10:15.:10:15.

coalition is out of the question. The councillor said any coalition

:10:15.:10:22.

between themselves and UKIP would be impossible. We have fewer

:10:22.:10:27.

councillors, but because the council is in position of no overall

:10:27.:10:32.

control, we believe and hope it may be possible to get some of our

:10:32.:10:39.

policies through. The Tories hold the most seats so it is likely the

:10:39.:10:49.
:10:49.:10:51.

next move will come from them. will be invited, and then we will

:10:52.:10:59.

have to decide what to do. A father and son from Bedfordshire

:10:59.:11:03.

have been jailed for a total of 13 years for using vulnerable homeless

:11:03.:11:07.

men as slaves in an exploitation case that made the family millions.

:11:07.:11:10.

But at a re-trial at Luton Crown Court, the jury was discharged after

:11:10.:11:13.

they failed to reach verdicts on 24 counts of enforced labour and

:11:13.:11:16.

servitude involving four members of the same traveller family.

:11:16.:11:19.

When Beds police raided the Greenacres travellers site two years

:11:19.:11:23.

ago, they came face-to-face with victims including these men who had

:11:23.:11:27.

been living in squalor and put to work laying paving blocks for no

:11:27.:11:33.

pay. Some of them had been held for years. Today Tommie Connor's senior

:11:33.:11:37.

and his son Patrick were jailed for eight years and five years

:11:37.:11:41.

respectively. The judge said he was satisfied, based on the evidence he

:11:41.:11:46.

had heard, that hundreds of workers had been recruited from the streets

:11:46.:11:56.
:11:56.:12:00.

and exploited, but he said a small number have been so degraded they

:12:00.:12:03.

have been unable to run away like the rest. Police surveillance videos

:12:03.:12:05.

showed some of the exploitation as workers toiled for hours under the

:12:05.:12:08.

watchful eyes of their bosses, but the jury failed to reach verdicts of

:12:08.:12:14.

other counts of servitude against them. A number of my clients have

:12:14.:12:19.

been exonerated after two lengthy and arduous trials. In the latter

:12:19.:12:24.

the jury were unable to reach any decisions. The decision of this jury

:12:24.:12:27.

who could not accept the Crown 's case comes as a relief to my clients

:12:27.:12:33.

who wish to return to their families and businesses. At the first trial

:12:33.:12:38.

last year, two members of the family were jailed as the same judge

:12:38.:12:47.

described them as violent, cold, hard exploiters.

:12:47.:12:50.

Northampton Town Chairman David Cardoza says Aidy Boothroyd is the

:12:50.:12:52.

best manager he has worked with. Boothroyd has led Cobblers to

:12:53.:13:00.

Wembley for the League Two play-off final against Bradford. Northampton

:13:00.:13:06.

have waited a long time to play at Wembley, 16 years, but their moment

:13:06.:13:11.

has arrived. The chairman can take it off his list. This is the icing

:13:11.:13:18.

on the cake. I wanted to play United, we did that, and I wanted to

:13:18.:13:23.

be part of taking the town to Wembley and I am so I am feeling

:13:23.:13:31.

good about myself. Wembley will be even better if they can beat

:13:31.:13:37.

Bradford. Over 20,000 fans will travel, it is the best way to get

:13:37.:13:46.

promotion and more lucrative. delighted we are doing it this way

:13:46.:13:50.

financially but it is a strange way of it happening. Northampton are

:13:51.:14:00.
:14:01.:14:01.

quids in because they recruited Aidy Boothroyd who has turned things

:14:01.:14:10.

around in one year. Are you delighted? Yes, he is the

:14:10.:14:15.

full package. Promotion will be worth several hundred thousand

:14:15.:14:25.
:14:25.:14:32.

pounds, a place in league one with an eastern feel.

:14:32.:14:35.

Former Godolphin trainer Mahmood Al Zarooni is to appeal against the

:14:35.:14:37.

length of his eight-year ban for doping racehorses. The Dubai-born

:14:37.:14:39.

trainer, recruited by Sheikh Mohammed's Newmarket-based operation

:14:39.:14:42.

in March 2010, has admitted giving banned anabolic steroids to 15

:14:42.:14:44.

horses. Al Zarooni was banned following a disciplinary hearing. A
