Eastbourne as he brings all the fun Good evening. A retired tax | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
inspector from Canterbury has been given a life sentence for murdering | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
her husband, and then pretending he was still alive to steal tens of | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
thousands pounds in pension funds. Don Banfield disappeared 11 years | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
ago, and his body has never been found. His wife, Shirley Banfield, | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
enlisted their daughter Lynette's help in his murder. She's also been | :01:23. | :01:32. | |
given a life sentence at the Old Bailey. Simon Jones reports. | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
The mother and daughter from Canterbury who committed murder for | :01:36. | :01:46. | |
:01:46. | :01:47. | ||
money. Dunn will never be forgotten. -- done. The worst thing is not | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
knowing how he died. Don Banfield had been planning to leave his | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
unhappy marriage. The Old Bailey said he signed his own death | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
warrant after completing the contract for the sale of his house | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
in London. His share of the Prophet was kept by his wife and daughter, | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
his pension fund plundered. -- profit. The fraud opened the can of | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
worms. It was obvious that within days of him gone missing, they were | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
quite happy to fraudulently used his accounts. They obviously knew | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
he was guided -- was not going to come back. Don Banfield went | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
missing in 2001. In 2009, the case was reopened after his former | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
empire became suspicious. Last year, his wife and daughter were charged | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
with murder. Shirley and Lynette Banfield moved to Canterbury in an | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
effort to distance themselves from the police investigation. They had | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
claimed they had seen Don Banfield in 2008, but that was lies. | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
Extensive inquiries found no proof that he was still alive. They seem | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
to be the sort of people that had won the lottery. They spent a lot | :03:05. | :03:15. | |
:03:15. | :03:15. | ||
of money on the garden and everything else. The case had | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
featured on Crimewatch. What the police want to know now is where | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
guns -- Don Banfield's body is. Ellie Price was in court for the | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
verdicts, and joins us live from the Old Bailey. How did Shirley and | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
Lynette Banfield react when the jury found them guilty? | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
Shirley Banfield raised her eyebrows slightly as she was | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
sentenced to 18 years. Her daughter simply stared forward as she | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
received 16 years. Some of Don Banfield's family from his native | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
Trinidad were in court to hear the verdict. They had been looking | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
forward to spending time with them when they thought he was moving | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
back there on his retirement. That never happened. The Police are | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
still looking for Don Banfield's body and bring some peace to the | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
family. Morale among rank and file police | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
officers in Sussex is at rock bottom, according to the union that | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
represents them. In an open letter to every MP in the county, the | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
Sussex Police Federation describes anger over pay freezes, and | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
stoppages of annual leave during the summer. A thousand Sussex | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
officers say they intend to join a national protest in London next | :04:21. | :04:31. | |
month. Mark Norman reports. Disgusted, that is how many Sussex | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
police officers feel about the Government review of policing. | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
Their federation has written to all Sussex MPs, describing a collapse | :04:40. | :04:47. | |
in force morale and huge anger at the Windsor reports. I have been at | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
least offers of a 25 years and I have never known such anger and | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
frustration. We understand we have to feel the pinch like everybody | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
else. But it seems like the police service that this really important | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
time in policing are been singled out by the Government for its | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
special treatment. -- being singled out. We are disgusted. They have | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
expressed the anger in a four-page letter to MPs. It says if the | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
recommendations are ratified they were ripped the heart and soul at a | :05:16. | :05:26. | |
:05:26. | :05:33. | ||
The Chief Constable of Sussex Police said today he realised | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
changes would have a significant effect on the force, but they would | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
only be implemented with full consultation. He also said that | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
policing is changing and must continue to change. Public opinion | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
is mixed. It does not seem to work. It will cause more friction because | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
people will complain to the police. Any publicly-funded organisation | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
should have its process is reviewed regularly. I think we need police. | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
They have not got to be cut back at all. We really need more police if | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
anything. The federation parroting Sussex MPs to ask the Home | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
Secretary to put a stop to what they describe as, this madness. So | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
what's the background to the Police Federation's concerns? Well, by | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
2015 Sussex Police need to cut their budget by �52 million, from | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
an annual budget of almost �253 million. They're losing 500 | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
officers and 550 civilian staff from a total workforce of 5,000 - | :06:30. | :06:39. | |
more than 400 of those posts have already gone. Mark Norman joins us | :06:39. | :06:48. | |
live from Brighton Police Station. What is the Government response? | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
This is about cutting the deficit. The Government want the police to | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
play their part. They want to protect police frontline services | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
and protect the status of frontline police officers. Sirte Tom Winsor, | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
who wrote the report into pay and conditions, says it is about | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
changing the culture of the police force, a bad attracting the | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
brightest and the best. And also changing the perception that the | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
police force is a job for life. He wants to scrap redundancy. Create | :07:21. | :07:30. | |
redundancy for police officers. What next? A large number of police | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
officers from Sussex are expected to join a protest in central London. | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
They hope it will have the public's backing. The Government hopes the | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
public will understand that cuts have to be made. | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
In a moment, a confusing time for nature - we look at the impact of | :07:46. | :07:54. | |
A judge has criticised the UK Border Agency for significant | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
failings that led to the collapse of a high-profile investigation | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
into illegal immigration. Niru Ravindra from Crawley and two | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
others were arrested in 2010, accused of supplying illegal | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
workers to businesses across the South East - but now charges | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
against all three defendants have been dropped. Colin Campbell has | :08:09. | :08:19. | |
:08:19. | :08:25. | ||
Arresting staff at Costa Coffee, the UK Border Agency described the | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
operation as the biggest of its kind. 25 people, mainly believed to | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
be Sri Lankan Nast girls, have been detained. Three people from Crawley | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
had been charged with bringing illegal workers into the UK. All | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
I've had the charges against them dropped. The Border Agency was | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
harshly criticised. For a number of years there have been very serious | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
problems in this agency. We describe it as being not fit for | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
purpose. Its previous head was promoted. People need to be held to | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
account. The Border Agency was hoping to use evidence from those | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
arrested on the day of the operation, but it was ruled | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
inadmissible. The judge said interviews had gone spectacularly | :09:09. | :09:16. | |
wrong, protocols were not followed. Criticising the Border Agency for | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
deporting other witnesses, the judge said the agency gave no | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
thought to the trial process. He said it never crossed their minds | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
that prosecution witnesses are supposed to appear in court, and | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
that there was a wanton disregard for routine mechanisms to protect | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
the fair trial process. What the Border Agency did not understand | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
was that their job was not just to throw at illegal immigrants. If | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
they were going to bring a prosecution, they needed witnesses. | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
Some of them may be able to give evidence for the defence. At the | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
time the Border Agency sang their own praises. As time goes on, we | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
get better at doing this kind of work. This criticism follows the | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
recent condemnation of lax immigration controls. What is | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
unclear that this case is how much money has been wasted and if there | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
will be disciplinary action. Colin Campbell reporting, and he's here | :10:09. | :10:17. | |
in the studio. Any response from the UK Border Agency? | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
Yes. Within the last few minutes we have received a statement. The | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
Border Agency keen to point out that their investigation, the | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
arrests in September 2010, did result in the rest of 23 people | :10:30. | :10:37. | |
working illegally in the UK. -- the arrest. They are disappointed by | :10:37. | :10:45. | |
the judgment. This investigation collapse is particularly | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
embarrassing for the UK Border Agency but it has proved a steep | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
learning curve for the organisation. The organisation has been split | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
into two separate entities, with their former chief police officer | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
now heading the Border Force. The Government believes that will make | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
a difference. The latest Ofsted inspection of the Marlowe Academy | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
in Ramsgate has found that the school is making satisfactory | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
progress. The academy - which opened in 2005 - was put in special | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
measures after inspectors said its lessons, leadership and teaching | :11:11. | :11:18. | |
staff were all inadequate. A 34-year-old woman has died after | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
her car broke down on the A21 in Pembury, near Tunbridge Wells. She | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
was hit by a car as she tried to cross the road in the early hours | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
of this morning. Kent Police are appealing for witnesses. | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
Brighton and Hove Albion's new Amex Stadium in Falmer has been | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
shortlisted for four international awards. Its nominations include | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
Venue of the Year and Best New Venue at the Stadium Business | :11:38. | :11:46. | |
Awards, which will be held in Italy From the athletes' kits, to the | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
jagged 2012 logo, it's fair to say that designs for the London | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
Olympics have not always been greeted with universal acclaim. But | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
an artist from Sussex is hoping for a better reception for the dove | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
he's created for British Airways. Pascal Anson beat hundreds of | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
others to win a competition to redesign the company's planes for | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
the Olympics, and today his work was revealed for the first time. | :12:08. | :12:18. | |

Hidden away in a hangar at Heathrow Airport until now. Feast your eyes | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
on the dove, a new airport design. The winning designer is Pascal | :12:28. | :12:32. | |

That was important. It took more than 900 hours to paint the air was. | :12:50. | :12:58. | |
He had to transform the aircraft. drive up and down the motorway. A | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
plane flew over, landing at Gatwick. A few seconds later, a bird flew | :13:02. | :13:09. | |
over. They appeared to be the same size, even though one was further | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
away. That was something that had been in my mind for a while. That | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
is what I wanted to translate. design will be emblazoned across | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
nine planes that will fly worldwide. But bearing in mind the design is | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
about celebrating the London 2012 games, you have to admit it is | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
rather subtle. Is it rather too subtle? Some of the Olympic designs | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
have received a lukewarm welcome. The Olympic logo faced a barrage of | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
criticism. The mass Scott proved equally unpopular. And a few weeks | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
ago the Olympic kit was met with outrage when it featured a blue | :13:46. | :13:54. | |
Union flag. I wouldn't say, that is a 2012 plane, I will go on it. I | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
would not know what it meant. will give it four. It is a good | :14:00. | :14:08. | |
design. Good drawing. I cannot see anything of the Olympics. It is a | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
bit like a plain painted with feathers. What is wrong with being | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
understated? Why does everything have to be brash? You can see it is | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
different and it has retained the identity of British Airways. It is | :14:22. | :14:31. | |
not just the plane taking off, it Our top story tonight: A retired | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
tax inspector from Canterbury has been given a life sentence for | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
murdering her husband, and then pretending he was still alive to | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
steal tens of thousands pounds in pension funds. Shirley Banfield | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
enlisted the help of their daughter Shirley in the plot to kill Don | :14:44. | :14:49. | |

who's now a well and happy two year I am David Essex. I will see you in | :15:10. | :15:18. | |
We've known for some time now that the South East is in drought, and | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
now it's beginning to bite. Experts say that the combination of dry and | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
warm March is beginning to upset our plant and animal life. Last | :15:26. | :15:36. | |
:15:36. | :15:39. | ||
week, temperatures rose to 22C - that's 72 Fahrenheit. The hosepipe | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
ban comes into force on Thursday. Lynda Hardy reports now on the | :15:43. | :15:52. | |
effect the dry weather's had on species that find it hard to adapt. | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
From the air above Ali marshes on the Isle of Sheppey, the lack of | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
water is clear. A vast parched landscape, much of which should be | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
covered in pools, providing an important home for a wetland birds | :16:06. | :16:14. | |
and their chicks. We are trying to manage wetlands for birds like | :16:14. | :16:20. | |
waders. At the moment there are not very many wet areas. Most of his | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
drive. We have decided to create a couple of small white areas that | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
will be a valuable resource to these birds. -- white areas. This | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
time last year I would have been wading through water, walking | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
through a pool. But today the ground is dry, cracked and dusty. | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
All around the marchers, evidence of the drought conditions. -- | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
marshes. A lack of rain is not the only problem. While many have been | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
basking in the unseasonably warm weather, Nature has reacted to it, | :16:54. | :17:01. | |
too. It has created a ripple effect of destruction. Some plants cents | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
temperature. When it gets to a certain temperature, they will | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
start opening. When we get a cold snap, those flowers will get hit by | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
the cold and potentially get hit off -- killed off. That as a knock- | :17:15. | :17:21. | |
on effect for the insects. Insects such as butterflies emerging from | :17:21. | :17:29. | |
hibernation earlier than that their food source. When we have got | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
weather like we had last week, the butterfly, which is cold-blooded, | :17:34. | :17:41. | |
reacts to the sun. It thinks it is the summer, goes on the wing, and | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
unfortunately there is no food source. Survival for many species, | :17:45. | :17:52. | |
it seems, now means battling the elements come Reine or shine in | :17:52. | :18:02. | |
:18:02. | :18:05. | ||
increasingly dangerous weather When Michael Cockerham's baby son, | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
Phineas, almost died from a virus at the age of just three weeks, his | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
life was in the hands of hospital staff. It wasn't clear that he'd | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
survive, but eventually he did recover, and was able to go home to | :18:17. | :18:27. | |
:18:27. | :18:28. | ||
Hextable, near Dartford. Phineas is now a healthy toddler. And as | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
Michael's a professional photographer, he decided to take | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
pictures of the staff that helped his son - all 63 of them. They've | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
been turned into a book on sale to raise funds at the Evelina | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
Children's Hospital. Michael and Phineas Cockerham are with us here | :18:44. | :18:54. | |
:18:54. | :18:55. | ||
in the studio. He looks so healthy and well. How | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
will was the? He was very ill. A hospital only has 20 spaces. You | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
have got to be seriously ill. I remember thinking to myself, | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
looking at some of the other children, there were very poorly, | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
that he must be very ill. One of the doctors said to me, do not kid | :19:15. | :19:21. | |
yourself, if you had not brought women he could have died. | :19:21. | :19:28. | |
members of staff. Fatima Meho was particularly special? She was one | :19:28. | :19:38. | |
:19:38. | :19:44. | ||
of the nurses in the ward. This is all her fault really! When you | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
suggested he wanted to take pictures, where they are reluctant | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
to take part? There was one person who was pivotal, Sean Hayes, the | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
retrieval technician, who had been tried in the ambulance and | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
monitoring the equipment. He initially did not want anything to | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
do with it at all. On the very last day and is doing the Sheared, I | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
cornered him and asked him to see me. He mumbled that he probably | :20:09. | :20:16. | |
would not. He turned up at 9 o'clock that night with his gear. | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
He wanted to be part of it. I think Phineas has been stealing the show | :20:21. | :20:28. | |
in the studio. What has it been like for you are emotionally pull | :20:28. | :20:34. | |
in this together? Emotionally it was very hard for my wife and | :20:34. | :20:40. | |
myself. Since then, putting it together has been cathartic. It is | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
a way of putting an end to it. For me, the main thing was about trying | :20:43. | :20:50. | |
to raise as much a Wyness as I can for the way modern medical stories | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
run. We had this idea that you get sick and their Arab couple of | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
doctors and nurses. Modern medicine is different. There are huge teams | :20:59. | :21:09. | |
:21:09. | :21:12. | ||
of people involved. Thank you both. He set many a young | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
girl's heart a flutter in the 1970s, and he may well still be at it. | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
Tonight, David Essex is performing in East Sussex in the musical, All | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
The Fun of the Fair. The show is inspired by one of his own albums, | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
and he plays a recently widowed funfair owner struggling with a | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
rebellious teenage son. In a moment we'll be speaking to him live from | :21:29. | :21:35. | |
the Congress Theatre in Eastbourne. But first, let's look back at some | :21:35. | :21:45. | |
:21:45. | :22:15. | ||
# Hauled me close, don't let me go. You haven't seen each other in 15 | :22:15. | :22:21. | |
years? I could not believe it. Little Alfie with a kit of his own. | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
When I read what that woman put you through, I have to see you. | :22:25. | :22:32. | |
Every night before I try to sleep, all I see is Liz's face looking | :22:32. | :22:42. | |
:22:42. | :22:47. | ||
There he was on stage. David Essex is live in Eastbourne. What can the | :22:47. | :22:54. | |
audience expect tonight? The show has been a massive hit. This is the | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
penultimate week after a six-month tour in the West End. It seriously | :22:59. | :23:06. | |
does move people. It is the story of love, relationships, humour, | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
tragedy, all in this underbelly world of a travelling funfair. | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
were showing our viewers all of the cheesy bits from the Seventies as | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
well as a more recent work. Do you ever get tired of that? I do not | :23:21. | :23:31. | |
:23:31. | :23:32. | ||
think there cheesy. They were just big hit. -- hits. Tire of it? No, | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
because it has meant a lot of things to a lot of people over the | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
years. I will be back in the south- east in November doing a concert. | :23:41. | :23:47. | |
We will be playing some of those songs and new staff. You have been | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
on stage, you have been on screen, you have been on EastEnders, have | :23:52. | :24:01. | |
you got a favoured place? I think I am lucky in as much as I do seem to | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
work in lots of different media. When I finish this, I'm going | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
straight into a film. That is a different medium. It keeps it fresh | :24:09. | :24:16. | |
from a. I think really the fact that I'd do work in different areas, | :24:16. | :24:26. | |
:24:26. | :24:28. | ||
it's perfect. What next? I am doing a film. The autobiography is out. | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
That has been number one for three weeks in the Sunday Times list. | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
Then I will ride some music for another film. Then the concert tour | :24:39. | :24:49. | |
:24:49. | :24:57. | ||
The weather is all over the place. It continues to be Amex. Today was | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
a day of contrasts. We had a sunny start. Some outbreaks of rain | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
around as well. Further rain through tonight. Tomorrow, that a | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
weather front looks to be stalling over the Midlands. It will be | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
mostly dry, some isolated showers. Decent spells of sunshine as well. | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
The reason for this shift in the weather, this weather front is | :25:18. | :25:24. | |
slowly shifting south. The mixture of rain, sleet and snow. Today for | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
the most part was dry and sunny. Temperatures still in double | :25:28. | :25:36. | |
figures. Breezy westerly winds. Tonight we will continue to get | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
cloud cover, outbreaks of rain. The winds continued to pick up. | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
Temperatures staying frost-free. A dry start to the day tomorrow. This | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
weather front currently looks to be stalling. It is moving slower than | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
expected. For the most part it looks like a dry picture. These and | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
sunshine. Isolated showers. Could be happy. The rain coming from an | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
easterly direction. Temperatures between 8 and ten degrees. | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
Overnight we will see the rain. It is mostly falling over higher | :26:13. | :26:21. | |
ground has snow. Temperatures three to four degrees. For a Thursday, it | :26:21. | :26:27. | |
is mostly try. Further rain for a Friday. That will clear by the | :26:27. | :26:34. | |
weekend. Temperatures recovering by Saturday. We seem to have fended | :26:34. | :26:41. | |
off the snow. There is a Jubilee coming up and we would like you to | :26:41. | :26:51. | |
:26:51. | :26:52. | ||
help was with our special project Would you like to take part in | :26:52. | :26:58. | |
