Welcome to South East Today, I'm Polly Evans.

:00:02.:00:04.

And I'm Rob Smith. Tonight's top stories:

:00:04.:00:08.

Jail for the couple who tortured a young man, making him drink bleach

:00:08.:00:17.

and attacking him with a hammer in a row over unpaid rent. In the end,

:00:17.:00:21.

the event became so extreme for him that he took a knife and stabbed

:00:21.:00:24.

himself to make sure they would have to call an ambulance.

:00:24.:00:27.

Emergency crews are still battling with the aftermath of the Lingfield

:00:27.:00:29.

factory explosion, with concerns over chemicals getting into local

:00:29.:00:32.

rivers. Also in tonight's programme:

:00:32.:00:35.

These men's postcodes will have a dramatic impact on their life

:00:35.:00:38.

expectancy - why men in parts of Medway die ten years earlier than

:00:38.:00:44.

average. We're live with the details of an unsettling report.

:00:44.:00:48.

Roll up for The Kiss in Margate. Rodin's famous sculpture is

:00:48.:00:58.
:00:58.:01:09.

unveiled at the Turner Contemporary. Good evening.

:01:09.:01:12.

A married couple who helped a gang torture a man in Crawley - forcing

:01:12.:01:16.

him to drink bleach, and breaking his foot with a hammer - have been

:01:16.:01:19.

jailed. The 21-year-old victim became so desperate to end his

:01:19.:01:22.

ordeal that he stabbed himself in the chest five times.

:01:23.:01:26.

Anna Wibrew was sentenced to six years in prison. Her husband Simon

:01:26.:01:29.

Weller was sentenced to five years. During his ordeal, the 21-year-old

:01:29.:01:34.

Sussex man was also beaten, whipped and sexually assaulted. Lynda Hardy

:01:34.:01:41.

reports. This is a married couple now jailed

:01:41.:01:47.

for a total of 11 years for their part in what was described in court

:01:47.:01:53.

as the torment and torture of a 21- year-old man. The victim was lured

:01:53.:01:58.

to a flat in Crawley where he was imprisoned and tortured over four

:01:58.:02:02.

days more than two years ago. Almost exactly a year after the

:02:02.:02:07.

assault, five members of the gang were given jail sentences each of

:02:07.:02:12.

between 5 and 11 years. Today, Simon Weller and Anna Wibrew were

:02:12.:02:18.

sentenced for their part in the crime. It was that a flat on this

:02:18.:02:23.

road in Crawley where the torture took place. The horrific ordeal

:02:23.:02:28.

included beatings and whippings and then sold was rubbed into open

:02:28.:02:34.

wounds. -- sold. He was sexually assaulted and then smashed on the

:02:34.:02:37.

food for the claw hammer so hard that his toe nails ripped off in

:02:37.:02:41.

the process. He was made to drink bleach, given beer with paracetamol

:02:41.:02:46.

ended, he was whipped with a cane that had been dipped in water, he

:02:46.:02:51.

was hit with a hammer, breaking his toes, and in the event, events

:02:51.:02:54.

became so extreme for him that he took a knife and stabbing himself

:02:54.:02:57.

to make sure they would have to call an ambulance and his ordeal

:02:57.:03:02.

would come to an end. The vicious and prolonged assault was

:03:02.:03:07.

apparently because of a dispute over unpaid rent. Speaking after

:03:07.:03:10.

this afternoon's sentencing, the detective in charge of the case

:03:10.:03:14.

described it as the nasty if he had ever dealt with in his career to

:03:14.:03:20.

date -- nastiest. And that seven people could inflict such hideous

:03:20.:03:28.

acts against another person simply divide -- defies belief.

:03:28.:03:33.

We are Live Earth Hove Crown Court now. Clearly a disturbing case but

:03:33.:03:36.

in the sentencing, the judge recognised that this couple played

:03:36.:03:42.

a lesser role. That is right. Judge Kent said that

:03:43.:03:47.

he was aware that some of the most indecently crawl assaults happened

:03:47.:03:52.

before the couple joined and then after they had left it but he added

:03:52.:03:55.

that they were willing participants for 24 hours, it which they held

:03:55.:03:59.

the victim captive in their flat as a prison that before taking him to

:03:59.:04:05.

a second property. Anna Wibrew was jailed for a year longer than her

:04:05.:04:11.

husband because she had forced the victim to drink bleach. In total,

:04:11.:04:15.

this gang had been towed -- sentenced to over 50 years but at

:04:15.:04:20.

the court were reminded that it was in part captured on a mobile phone

:04:20.:04:23.

and the judge described that footage as a chilling piece of

:04:23.:04:27.

video in which the victim be seen handcuffed and cowering in a corner

:04:27.:04:31.

while he is beaten and while his attackers cheered.

:04:31.:04:34.

Three people are still in hospital after a huge explosion at an

:04:34.:04:36.

industrial estate in Surrey yesterday.

:04:36.:04:39.

Emergency teams have been working through the night at the scene of

:04:39.:04:42.

the fire on the Hobbs Industrial Estate in Newchapel near Lingfield,

:04:42.:04:49.

from where Alex Beard reports. The explosion and fierce fire that

:04:49.:04:52.

ripped through this industrial estate that the building so

:04:52.:04:55.

unstable that fire crews are still unable to put out the fire

:04:55.:05:00.

completed. We have been looking at a hot spots, the small area still

:05:00.:05:04.

left that we cannot gain access to because of the unsafe structure.

:05:04.:05:09.

The roof has partially collapsed. That is stopping us getting today's

:05:09.:05:14.

hot spots. Until we get those clear, we cannot get the fire crews in.

:05:14.:05:19.

This year volume of water required to fight the flames has meant the

:05:20.:05:23.

Environment Agency has worked through the night to stop the local

:05:23.:05:27.

waterways from being contaminated. The poison has run away -- run-off

:05:27.:05:30.

has caused some fish to died already. We are not anticipating

:05:30.:05:36.

any more. We have people out around the clock increasing the oxygen

:05:36.:05:39.

levels and improving the water quality of the area, so hopefully

:05:39.:05:43.

we are limiting the impact on the environment and the wildlife as

:05:43.:05:47.

much as possible. The industrial site remains closed although some

:05:47.:05:50.

employers from surrounding businesses have returned. Currently,

:05:51.:05:54.

a demolition company is removing the roof of the unit to make it

:05:54.:05:58.

safe for fire crews to enter and put out the rest of the fire and

:05:58.:06:02.

start investigations. Eight people were hospitalised after the fire

:06:02.:06:07.

took hold. 6th -- 5 have been discharged but three remained in

:06:07.:06:14.

Kent -- serious conditions. Two are in East Grinstead and one is being

:06:14.:06:20.

treated in London. In a moment: Iraq veteran Colonel

:06:20.:06:23.

Tim Collins wants to shake up the police, are starting by running for

:06:23.:06:28.

the job of Kent Commissioner. -- starting by.

:06:28.:06:32.

Men who live in the most deprived parts of the Medway Towns die, on

:06:32.:06:36.

average, ten years earlier than their wealthier neighbours. A

:06:36.:06:38.

report by the Public Health Observatory also shows that women's

:06:38.:06:42.

life expectancy is more than three years shorter than average.

:06:42.:06:46.

The local council is looking at the findings which show that while the

:06:46.:06:49.

better-off in the area live to be 77 on average, those in the poorest

:06:49.:06:59.

wards are unlikely to even make it to 70. Sara Smith reports.

:06:59.:07:03.

They may have less than four miles apart but their lives are very

:07:03.:07:07.

different. Gordon Baker is on a good pension after 40 years with

:07:07.:07:11.

the electricity board. Security guard then struggles to make ends

:07:11.:07:19.

wait on his mages for -- making us meet on his wages. The disparity

:07:19.:07:22.

between their life expectancy is is 10 years. One of the main reasons,

:07:22.:07:28.

poorer people are more likely to smoke. I smoke about 20 a day, may

:07:28.:07:32.

be because I am addicted to smoking, but I find it hard to give up

:07:32.:07:36.

because of the stress of work, coming home and trying to sort

:07:36.:07:40.

money out, living expenses. Smoking doesn't just cause lung cancer but

:07:40.:07:44.

heart disease, as well as adding to a host of other health problems.

:07:44.:07:48.

Poorer people also have a worse diet added Medway, the number of

:07:48.:07:53.

those classed as obese are well above the country's average. -- and

:07:53.:07:57.

the Medway. Gordon goes to the gym three times a week and eats

:07:57.:08:01.

healthily. Even as a young man, he stayed away from cigarettes and too

:08:01.:08:05.

much alcohol. We used to meet as a group, a good bunch of friends,

:08:05.:08:10.

have a drink on a Friday night, but that was about all. The rest of the

:08:10.:08:13.

time more sport. If I wasn't playing that, I would be watching

:08:13.:08:18.

and I encouraged both my children to be the same. But the difference

:08:18.:08:22.

between life expectancy in rich and poor is much less pronounced in

:08:22.:08:28.

women, just three years. Us men are much less good at visiting the GP.

:08:28.:08:32.

We lead riskier life styles, so we tend to be more likely to smoke,

:08:33.:08:37.

drink more, we take greater risks, we tend to die a bit more early

:08:37.:08:42.

from accidents, unfortunately, and all of this leads up to that kind

:08:42.:08:46.

of inequality. Tonight, the statistics are being scrutinised by

:08:46.:08:50.

Medway councillors. Life expectancy is improving overall, but there is

:08:50.:08:54.

still more to be done. And Sara is in Medway for us this

:08:54.:08:59.

evening. Why is there such a big gap in life

:08:59.:09:01.

expectancy between rich and poor people?

:09:01.:09:05.

I should say first of all that it has been narrowing over the past 10

:09:05.:09:10.

years. As a whole, people are Medway are living longer than ever

:09:10.:09:13.

before but the gap is still too big and getting to the heart of that is

:09:13.:09:17.

difficult. It seems that people know they need to stop smoking, eat

:09:17.:09:22.

more carefully, but that the less control they feel they have over

:09:22.:09:27.

their lives, over money and Employment, housing, the less

:09:27.:09:31.

control they seem to be able to exert over their health. So the

:09:31.:09:35.

approach is to be two-pronged. They need support as families, to adopt

:09:36.:09:40.

a healthier lifestyle, but they also need support in the general

:09:40.:09:43.

environment in which they are living and councillors will tonight

:09:43.:09:50.

be discussing some of those issues. A driver has died in a crash on the

:09:50.:09:53.

A23 north of Brighton this morning. A van crossed the central

:09:53.:09:56.

reservation, hitting a lamppost which then fell on a vehicle coming

:09:56.:09:59.

in the other direction. The man in the second vehicle, who was in his

:09:59.:10:01.

fifties, was pronounced dead at the scene.

:10:01.:10:05.

A health trust in Kent has been told it must train staff in Data

:10:05.:10:06.

Protection laws after it accidentally destroyed 10,000

:10:07.:10:10.

patient records. The Information Commissioner has ruled that staff

:10:10.:10:14.

at Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust were wrong to put the records in a

:10:14.:10:18.

disposal room because there was no other storage space. The mistake

:10:18.:10:23.

wasn't spotted for three months. The brother of a woman from Kent

:10:23.:10:26.

murdered by her husband has called for police to be more victim-

:10:26.:10:29.

friendly as he addressed members of the Scottish Parliament. Peter

:10:29.:10:31.

Morris now campaigns for improved victims' rights, following the

:10:31.:10:36.

murder of his sister Claire by He told MSPs about the impact the

:10:36.:10:40.

case had on his family as he put forward a petition aimed at

:10:40.:10:45.

improving support for victims of crime and their families.

:10:45.:10:48.

Iraq War veteran Colonel Tim Collins has confirmed he wants to

:10:48.:10:53.

stand as Kent's first police commissioner. Under new proposals,

:10:53.:10:56.

commissioners would replace police authorities.

:10:56.:10:59.

They would also have the power to hire and fire chief constables. As

:11:00.:11:02.

Jon Hunt reports, Colonel Collins says he believes he has the energy

:11:03.:11:09.

and know-how to do the job. Ordered for leading his men in Iraq,

:11:09.:11:15.

made famous by his motivational speech to them on the eve of their

:11:15.:11:20.

tour and today revealed by the Home Secretary as the person the

:11:20.:11:26.

Conservatives are backing to become police crime Commissioner for Kent.

:11:26.:11:31.

He says he wants to get tough on crime, tough on mediocrity and make

:11:31.:11:35.

it easier for officers to do their job. The bureaucrats have tied the

:11:35.:11:40.

hands of the police forces and the policeman will tell you that. If I

:11:40.:11:45.

am elected, I hope to open those handcuffs and give the police both

:11:45.:11:49.

hands to deal with crime. It is not going to be about reaction times,

:11:49.:11:52.

because by the time someone has phoned the police the crime has

:11:52.:11:57.

been committed. It is about driving a crime down. Kent Police is

:11:57.:12:00.

overseen by an authority of 17 members but next year that will

:12:00.:12:03.

change, with a single elected Commission are taking on that role.

:12:03.:12:08.

It is not popular with those representing Kent officers and

:12:08.:12:10.

while their respective Tim Collins, they wonder if he is the right bad

:12:11.:12:16.

for the job. That while they respect. He has a lot to learn

:12:16.:12:20.

about the police. Policing is not the army, it is a civilian

:12:20.:12:24.

organisation. He also needs to engage with policing to find out

:12:24.:12:28.

exactly what it is about and not listen to too many anecdotes that

:12:28.:12:33.

he then goes on to report in speeches. He may be the first to

:12:33.:12:37.

put his name forward but he won't be the last. The elections for

:12:37.:12:41.

police commissioners will be held in November last year.

:12:41.:12:45.

Our top story tonight. A married couple who helped a gang

:12:45.:12:48.

torture a man in Crawley - forcing him to drink bleach, and breaking

:12:48.:12:52.

his foot with a hammer - have been jailed. Anna Wibrew was sentenced

:12:52.:12:56.

to six years in prison. Her husband Simon Weller was sentenced to five

:12:56.:12:58.

years And setting the scene for a new era

:12:58.:13:08.

of theatre in Canterbury as the curtain goes up on the Marlowe.

:13:08.:13:11.

Added the heatwave is certainly over. Lots of cloud around but it

:13:11.:13:17.

has been a dry picture. Will it be lasting? Join me later fall of the

:13:17.:13:19.

details. And if you have a story you think

:13:19.:13:29.
:13:29.:13:42.

we should be covering a, we would More than a million children are

:13:42.:13:46.

now being taught in academies. The controversial scheme allows state-

:13:46.:13:49.

funded schools to operate outside council control and have more

:13:49.:13:53.

freedom over what they teach and how much they pay their staff. Well

:13:53.:13:56.

today, a primary school in Smarden in Kent became the 1,000th school

:13:56.:14:01.

to do it. More than 200 failing secondaries were turned into

:14:01.:14:05.

academies under the previous Labour Government in England. But since

:14:05.:14:07.

coming to power, the coalition has widened the criteria for academies

:14:08.:14:10.

to offer successful schools the chance to gain more independence,

:14:10.:14:15.

and more than 1,500 schools have now applied for academy status.

:14:15.:14:25.

Louise Stewart reports. The children may be too young to

:14:25.:14:28.

realise the significance of today's change. This small primary has

:14:28.:14:36.

become the 1 thousandth to convert to academy status. Staff are under

:14:36.:14:41.

no doubt about the benefits. It is extremely exciting for us. We are a

:14:41.:14:44.

small rural primary school in the heart of Kent and Forrester be

:14:44.:14:50.

identified as the 1,000 academy that has been created -- for us,

:14:50.:14:53.

and for Lord Hill to speak to the children has been a real

:14:53.:15:00.

achievement. We now have 1,000 academies opened. Cynics questioned

:15:00.:15:06.

the timing of today's announcement, which coincided with the Education

:15:06.:15:10.

Secretary's keynote speech to the Tory conference. Michael Gove

:15:10.:15:13.

hailed the Academy programme as a success and said they were raising

:15:13.:15:17.

standards generally. The great thing is they don't just raise

:15:17.:15:20.

standards for the children in those schools, they work with schools

:15:20.:15:23.

that are underperforming to raise standards in those schools as well

:15:23.:15:28.

and they give people an example to emulate. But the policy has been

:15:28.:15:31.

controversial. Critics say many schools I converted to academy

:15:31.:15:35.

status because in the face of cuts to the education budget, they

:15:35.:15:40.

helped it would help them Secure more funding. That hope. It is

:15:40.:15:45.

about creating at hereof schools that are different from state

:15:45.:15:48.

schools and we will have an increasingly segregated education

:15:48.:15:54.

system. In Kent, you have a divided system because you have the 11 plus

:15:54.:15:57.

and recreating another division school -- between schools and where

:15:57.:16:02.

you have that, you have social segregation. I will never accept

:16:02.:16:06.

second best for this country. 1.2 million children are now being

:16:06.:16:10.

taught in academies and with 70% of schools in Kent applying to convert

:16:10.:16:13.

to academy status, they could soon be many more.

:16:13.:16:16.

Louise Stewart is at the Conservative Party Conference now.

:16:16.:16:23.

I understand the Prime Minster also addressed the issue of acadamies.

:16:23.:16:29.

Yes, that's right. At the start of Michael Gove's speech, there was a

:16:29.:16:33.

live link-up to the Prime Minister, David Cameron, who was visiting an

:16:33.:16:38.

academy in Manchester. I think the message is clear. Although as you

:16:38.:16:43.

heard in the report, this has been controversial, not only is it the

:16:43.:16:47.

education parts -- Education Secretary's flagship policy, at the

:16:47.:16:50.

Prime Minister gives it his backing. Tonight is the end of conference,

:16:50.:16:54.

after four weeks, and David Cameron would give his keynote speech to

:16:54.:16:59.

conference. Quite a gloomy week in terms of the economy and the lack

:16:59.:17:04.

of growth, and what he will want to do is talk up the achievement of

:17:04.:17:06.

the Conservatives and send them home on a high.

:17:06.:17:16.
:17:16.:17:23.

They wanted to create a landmark building, at �25 million of temple

:17:23.:17:31.

to the dramatic arts in Canterbury and tonight, very rebuilt the

:17:31.:17:35.

Marlowe will open tonight. Prince Edward and the Countess of

:17:35.:17:39.

Wessex were the -- will be the special guests at a royal gala

:17:39.:17:44.

evening. Robin Gibson is there. And exciting evening in prospect.

:17:44.:17:48.

The champagne has been flowing at this royal gala performance. A

:17:48.:17:53.

couple of hours ago, the royal guests arrived, and a lot is

:17:53.:17:58.

hanging on this the Marlowe Theatre, at a bit like the Margate busy M.

:17:58.:18:06.

People are hoping this will somehow signalled away -- but Margate is

:18:06.:18:15.

the M. And -- Museum of Macro. But today has been all about getting

:18:15.:18:24.

The planning and dreaming is over, today, the Marlowe theatre goes

:18:24.:18:29.

live. Its first night. So everything has a feel of being a

:18:29.:18:34.

first. It is wonderful to be in on a project like this. It is

:18:34.:18:40.

fantastic. The Arts are in Fourie hard time, I am afraid to say, but

:18:40.:18:44.

this is an exception -- are in for a hard time. It is a wonderful

:18:44.:18:49.

building and I'm sure it will be very successful. The Philharmonic

:18:49.:18:56.

will be here regularly. Accompanied by the Philharmonia

:18:56.:19:02.

Orchestra, Sir John and soprano, and will be singing a wide

:19:02.:19:07.

programme tonight for the gala opera evening. There has been a

:19:07.:19:12.

keen sense of nervous anticipation around the building. Here we are at

:19:12.:19:16.

last, obviously we are feeling a bit apprehensive, but we have done

:19:16.:19:19.

the rehearsals, we have done the preparation and I think it will be

:19:19.:19:22.

a triumphant occasion and a fitting opening to this fabulous new

:19:23.:19:28.

theatre. It is all new and vivid, but the Marlowe has a lot of

:19:28.:19:32.

history for a lot of people, so the spirit of its past is important to

:19:32.:19:36.

them. Paul was wearing blue and yellow tights. I couldn't resist

:19:36.:19:42.

him. I wasn't on stage at the time. This was in the street. We met

:19:42.:19:47.

there and we started producing in 2005 and we have been doing it ever

:19:47.:19:50.

since then. I walked into that auditorium at the weekend for the

:19:50.:19:56.

first time and I genuinely got goose bumps. Some shows in the

:19:56.:20:00.

Marlowe's first season have already sold out. And this, the opening

:20:00.:20:05.

night with the royal guests, was never in question. Every one of the

:20:05.:20:10.

theatre's plush Italian leather seat will be occupied. If that is a

:20:10.:20:12.

pattern for the future, then millions will be considered to have

:20:12.:20:21.

been well spent. This is a night for a lot of loyal

:20:21.:20:23.

supporters of the Marlowe to come forward, because a lot of money has

:20:23.:20:27.

been raised through a public donation. One who cannot be here

:20:27.:20:32.

tonight is a movie star and Canterbury by Orlando bloom. He is

:20:32.:20:38.

not able to be here, but he has given our message for me to read. -

:20:38.:20:43.

- a message. He says it is a wonderful prospect -- have such an

:20:43.:20:48.

exciting new theatre in Canterbury, particularly for actors to tour

:20:48.:20:51.

outside of London. I look forward to enjoying many performances there

:20:51.:20:56.

and I hope tonight's opening goes off with a bank. At the moment, it

:20:56.:20:59.

certainly looks as though it is going to. People are taking their

:20:59.:21:03.

seats. Just very quickly, do we know why

:21:03.:21:09.

he couldn't turn up? I don't. I believe he has some

:21:09.:21:12.

filming commitments. I think he was genuinely very disappointed he

:21:12.:21:16.

could not be here and hopes to be here in the future, that is the

:21:16.:21:20.

word on the street. Robin, thank you. It looks very

:21:20.:21:25.

swish. Very different to the old one.

:21:26.:21:35.

That move onto some football news. Gillingham will be hoping to put

:21:35.:21:38.

Saturday's defeat behind them when they meet Barnet in the Johnstone

:21:38.:21:41.

Paint Trophy tonight. It's the second time the sides have met so

:21:41.:21:44.

far this season. Back in August, they drew 2-2 in north London

:21:44.:21:46.

thanks to goals from Lee Spiller and Jack Payne.

:21:46.:21:48.

Spinner Monty Panesar has signed a three-year contract extension at

:21:48.:21:50.

Sussex. The 29-year-old was the second-highest wicket-taker in

:21:50.:21:53.

Division One of the County Championship this year. He's taken

:21:53.:21:56.

121 first-class wickets in two seasons since moving to Hove from

:21:56.:21:59.

Northamptonshire. When it first went on display a

:21:59.:22:01.

century ago, it provoked outrage and concerns that returning

:22:01.:22:05.

soldiers from the Great War would be unable to cope with the sight of

:22:05.:22:07.

two naked people in a passionate embrace.

:22:07.:22:10.

Since then, it's become the nation's favourite work of art, and

:22:10.:22:13.

Rodin's immediately recognisable sculpture The Kiss has gone on a

:22:13.:22:17.

year-long display at the Turner Contemporary gallery in Margate.

:22:18.:22:26.

Ria Chaterjee reports. This particular version of a The

:22:26.:22:32.

Kiss has been on the move since it was first bought by a wealthy art

:22:32.:22:36.

collector in Lewes in the early 1,900. Now for a while at least, it

:22:36.:22:41.

home will be the Turner Contemporary. The Kiss is

:22:41.:22:46.

considered to be one of the great images of erotic love. The statue

:22:46.:22:51.

is depicting the story of two 13th century lovers, Paolo and Francesca,

:22:51.:22:55.

which was the original title. Francesca was an Italian noblewoman

:22:55.:23:01.

who fell in love with her husband's younger brother and Rodin is

:23:01.:23:05.

capturing these figures when they have their first embrace. When The

:23:05.:23:10.

Kiss went on display in Britain in 1914, it caused public outrage. So

:23:10.:23:16.

much so, it went into hiding in a garage for a number of years. It is

:23:16.:23:23.

said to be grabbing people's attention in Margate. But many are

You can envisage them being alive. -- just to visited. The muscles and

:23:33.:23:38.

everything is so amazing. It is lovely. I walked in and there it is,

:23:39.:23:42.

it is wonderful. I think it looks nice and passionate, they look like

:23:42.:23:46.

they are enjoying themselves. So much then not even looking at the

:23:46.:23:52.

view. It is depicting the up -- young blood and I think it is

:23:52.:24:00.

fabulous. -- love. Only last month, it was on display at the gallery in

:24:00.:24:03.

Lewes for their Millennium Exhibition. Until the end of next

:24:03.:24:06.

year, this seemingly nomadic art piece will look out across the Kent

:24:06.:24:12.

coast. It is becoming a real cultural

Tonight's top national and local news:

:26:52.:26:55.

The family of the British student Meredith Kercher, who was murdered

:26:55.:26:58.

in Italy four years ago, say the investigation into her death is now

:26:58.:27:02.

back to square one. They were speaking after an Italian court

:27:14.:27:19.

himself after being kept prisoner for three days. The 21-year-old was
