Welcome to South East Today. I'm Polly Evans. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |

escaped prosecution by writhng a cheque for ?42,000. | :00:21. | :00:34. | |
It is despicable. He is an intelligent man who put a lot into | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
it, he put it into hide to be a criminal. | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
`` how to be a criminal. Also in tonight's programme: The | :00:46. | :00:48. | |

Sussex taking on all comers in the BBC's Big Allotment Challenge. | :01:01. | :01:10. | |
Good evening. They tied up, gagged and tortured a | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
Sussex student in an attempt to make him hand over money. Today, the gang | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
of men responsible have been jailed for a total of 21 years for their | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
parts in the crime. 21`year`old victim Benjamin Hutchings`Mhtchell | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
was lured to a house in Hastings where he was beaten with a hammer, | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
before being taken by his attackers to nearby woods where they discussed | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
burying him alive. Piers Hopkirk reports. | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
Battered and bruised, but alive Student Benjamin Hutchings`Litchell | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
recovering in hospital after an attack described in court as brutal, | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
outrageous and inhumane. Tonight the gang behind it are beginning prison | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
sentences totalling 21 years. I have been a police officer for 22 years. | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
This was one of the most he must crimes have seen. Gratuitous | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
violence. Horrendous. He was beaten with a hammer, tied up with | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
electrical cable and put into a body bag. He was given to isolatdd woods | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
with the torture continued. I thought I was going to die. The red | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
talking about taking me to ` forest. The gang leader, Sal Simon, | :02:27. | :02:38. | |
said the attack, I may as wdll shoot you. I'm going to torture you. The | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
judge said nobody who heard that can feel to have been good by their | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
terror that must have been felt by the Vic. How frightening was this | :02:48. | :02:55. | |
for the Vic them? He said in his evidence that he was terrifhed. He | :02:56. | :03:04. | |
thought he was going to be killed. Sam Simon was jailed for nine | :03:05. | :03:15. | |
years. Others in the gang, hncluding the driver, were sentenced to two | :03:16. | :03:25. | |
years. A 17`year`old who cannot be named for legal reasons werd | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
sentenced to four years. Tonight, all five are beginning their | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
sentences for a crime policd described as showing a level of | :03:33. | :03:41. | |
cruelty that was inexplicable. Are we any clearer as to whx this | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
happened? The court was told that Sam Simon, the ringleader, was a | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
drugs dealer in Hastings and in the weeks prior to this attack had lost | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
a substantial amount of mondy. The police told me that Benjamin was | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
targeted because they believe he was a soft touch. Tonight it has emerged | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
that the Crown Prosecution Service has asked for the sentences handed | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
down today to be reviewed over concerns they may have been too | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
lenient. Rail unions are claiming a hedge | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
fund manager dubbed "Britain's biggest rail fare dodger" w`s able | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
to "buy silence" because of his wealth, after he repaid mord than | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
?42,000 in unpaid fares and avoided prosecution. The RMT and TSSA unions | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
say the agreement between the commuter and southeastern | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
demonstrates, "one law for the rich and one for the poor". But the rail | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
operator has defended the out`of`court settlement as the | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
quickest way to recover the fares. Mark Norman is live at Stondgate | :04:37. | :04:48. | |
Station. Mark, this fare dodging went on for more than five xears? It | :04:49. | :04:59. | |
is extraordinary, isn't it? Five years, as you say. This person is a | :05:00. | :05:08. | |
hedge fund manager, yet he lade a conscious decision not to bty a | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
season ticket. There are lots of opportunities to buy tickets here. | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
He made a conscious decision provide viewers not to paper that sdason | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
ticket from here up to London Bridge. It costs ?5,000 a ydar to | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
commute into London from thd station in Sussex. In 2008, successful fund | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
manager decided he wasn't going to pay and managed not to pay for | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
almost six years. Stonegate Station is quiet at this time of thd day. | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
Commuters come to this allexway There is no ticket harrier. The man | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
would have blocked past two signs warning him that he needed to have a | :05:54. | :06:02. | |
ticket. On the platform, he would catch the train to London Bridge, | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
move on to London Bridge. Pdople I have spoken to locally are pretty | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
disgusted at what he did. Obviously, he is an intelligent man who has | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
popped `` but thought into ht, but it is putting thought into being a | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
criminal. It is despicable. That means everybody else was pl`ying for | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
him. He probably saw the ch`nce to do it and did it. Is that OK? Of | :06:30. | :06:37. | |
course not. I hope we got hhs comeuppance. There are constant | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
attempts by train companies to persuade people to pay for tickets. | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
Dave thinks it is OK to takd a free ride. Travelling on a train without | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
paying for your journey is `gainst the law. A lack of barriers is | :06:52. | :07:00. | |
tempting many. In total, ard fairer dodger managed to avoid a potential | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
?42,000 worth of rail fares. Southeastern train say that on | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
average 500 people a day avoid paying for their ticket. It is the | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
ordinary travelling public that paid for their fares, even in hard times. | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
That makes it even more disgusting that over a period of great economic | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
uncertainty, with people struggling, he perpetrated this theft and gets | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
to walk away with that. This evening the train company has said they | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
recognised this as ever `` `s an important issue for customers who do | :07:38. | :07:46. | |
pay their way. This is the London line. Yot have to | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
presume this person will be standing on this platform tomorrow morning. | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
They have had to pay back the ?43,000, and we understand they have | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
nine it is a season ticket. The overall message here is if xou try | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
to dodge paying the fare, you will eventually get caught. Well ,we ve | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
had a big response to this story on social media. | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
Ann Rogers said: "If he's p`id it back, why prosecute? Would only cost | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
more money to take him to court . Linda Burke: "Too right he should be | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
prosecuted. Just because he had the money to pay it back doesn't make it | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
all right. After all, he only paid it back because he was caught". | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
Cathy Martin: "Maybe people wouldn't try and cheat the system if the | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
train companies charged a rdasonable fare. Train prices are ridiculously | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
high". Ric Coulson: "Why has it taken five | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
years for an inspector or anyone to cotton on to the fact he didn't have | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
a ticket? The fares are so expensive. Paying for guards not to | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
do their job and check in the first instance?". | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
Sumi Olson: "While I am ple`sed that the amount owed has repaid, I feel | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
he should be named and shamdd. This was deliberate fraud and thdft which | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
this person committed over five years". We want to know what you | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
think. Is paying back the ?42,000 ` good | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
enough penalty, or do you agree with rail unions it appears to bd one | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
rule for the rich and one for the poor? Should he have been | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
prosecuted? You can leave your comments on our Facebook site, tweet | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
or email us. We'll read out some more of your comments on later in | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
the programme. In a moment: How a new scheme to extend opening hours | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
is being trialled at doctors surgeries in parts of Kent `nd | :09:26. | :09:39. | |
Sussex. There's an incident of fly`tipping | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
somewhere in the country evdry 4 seconds. Most of it is in the | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
countryside, and our farmers say they're bearing the brunt of the | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
problem, having to pay for waste to be removed from their land. It's | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
estimated that it costs ?47 million a year to remove illegally dumped | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
waste from agricultural land. Farmers in the South East s`y the | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
problems seems to be getting worse. Jon Hunt reports. | :09:59. | :10:07. | |
Farmer Steve Glover owns five farms in Kent and today he is surveying | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
the latest fly`tip on the edge of his land. This fluid content is best | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
bass, which means a specialhst will have to collect it. Mr Glovdr says | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
he faces this problem about once a month. What is the handset? More | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
people on the ground to catch these people. It is down to the pdople who | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
are paying for this to be done. They are expect when this to go somewhere | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
and for this to be taken aw`y. They will get caught more than the people | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
who are doing the dumping. There were nearly 50,000 incidents of temp | :10:48. | :10:58. | |
to in the county, costing over 2 million to clear up. People caught | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
fly`tipping are fined thous`nds but the don't normally do it whdn a | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
police helicopter is circling. Trevor Jones and his family farm 700 | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
acres. Even today, having to clear rubbish from the entrance of their | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
fields so they can spread their crop. Having to get rid of someone | :11:19. | :11:27. | |
else's crime, and paying for the privilege, having to pay thd tax on | :11:28. | :11:36. | |
the disposal, it is not verx nice. The penalties for those caught | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
fly`tipping are set to incrdase New guidelines from the sentenchng | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
council come into effect on the 1st of July and courts will be trged to | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
make greater use of the highest levels of fines. They will `pply | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
both to the persistent offenders, as well as your average homeowner just | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
getting rid of an old mattrdss. Farmers in the South East hope the | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
new finds will do terror people from using their much cared for | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
countryside as a free waste tip Police are continuing to appeal for | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
information on how a car cale off the road and plunged around 90 feet | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
over a cliff in Brighton. The driver survived with minor | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
injuries after the incident, which happened near Roedean in thd early | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
hours of Sunday. Police say they'd like to speak to anyone who was in | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
the area at the time. A thief who robbed a Tonbridge | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
jewellery shop while threatdning staff at knife`point has bedn jailed | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
for life. Peter Sanderson, from Maidstone, stole a number of diamond | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
and sapphire rings last October He asked a member of staff if he could | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
see the items before threatdning her with a knife. | :12:40. | :12:49. | |
Heroin and cocaine with a potential street value running into mhllions | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
of pounds has been seized bx Border Force officers. A British`rdgistered | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
lorry carrying roofing materials was stopped at Dover's Eastern Docks | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
last week. Our reporter Petdr Whittlesea is in Dover now. | :12:58. | :13:05. | |
Peter, what more do we know about this seizure? | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
The Border Force announced this potentially mulled `` multi`million | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
pound seizure this actor known. The ship was coming into the port last | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
Wednesday when sniffer dogs fined ?105 of heroin and is ?74 of | :13:22. | :13:30. | |
cocaine. A man from Romford was arrested. The Border Force has not | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
put an exact value on the drugs because it depends on their purity. | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
Tests will be carried out to establish how pure the drugs were. | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
Longer opening hours and better local care for the elderly `re being | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
promised at doctors' surgerhes across the South East. Costhng | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
nearly ?4 million from central government, more than 230,000 | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
patients in Folkestone, Dovdr and Brighton will benefit from the new | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
programme. They will be abld to book same`day appointments seven days a | :13:59. | :13:59. | |
week. Ellie Price has more. A typical doctor 's appointlent at | :14:00. | :14:17. | |
this surgery in Folkestone. Soon, patient he will be able to begin | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
between 8am and 8pm seven d`ys a week. It means that people who might | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
otherwise have to go to the emergency department will h`ve | :14:29. | :14:30. | |
greater access to general b`ck the services. The doctors who are | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
working will have access to the patient's records, which will help | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
of the continued to `` conthnuity of care. Opening hours is one of the | :14:40. | :15:01. | |
brains of the surgery. `` b`nes There will be a ?50 million GP | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
access fund. The government has announced a special care pl`n for | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
those most vulnerable. In the South East it will benefit on hundred and | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
37,000 people and the mean same`day access to their doctor your. I think | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
we have to get away from thhs idea that ten minutes is the right length | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
of time for a bruising or p`tient. For some patients one minutd might | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
be enough, but for someone who is very vulnerable, they might 30 | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
minutes for 40 minutes. I hope this will introduce a lot more | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
flexibility for doctors. Thd pilot schemes are not without thehr | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
critics. Labour says the majority of patients will benefit and w`iting | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
times for doctors appointments are getting worse. There are pros and | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
cons. The cons are the stresses and strains of public on the general | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
practice system. The staff, facilities, the building, the | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
availability of services th`t go with it such as blood taking and | :16:01. | :16:16. | |
testing. The infrastructure does not exist that would be needed to do | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
what the government is proposing. Our top story tonight: A gang of | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
five men have been jailed for a total of 21 years for their part in | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
tying up a student in Hastings and torturing him to make him h`nd over | :16:32. | :16:33. | |
money. The Sussex Gardner is taking place | :16:34. | :16:50. | |
in the BBC's Big Allotment Challenge. | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
It has been a sunny started the week, and it will stay that way for | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
the few days as well. It's the greatest honour th`t can be | :16:57. | :17:11. | |
bestowed upon a soldier, given for outstanding valour in the f`ce of | :17:12. | :17:13. | |
the enemy. Since 1856, only 1,300 Victoria | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
Crosses have ever been awarded. Cheryl Butler from Nettlestdad, near | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
Maidstone, treasures a photo of her great great uncle, Thomas H`rris, | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
who was given a VC during World War I am is still remembered in the Kent | :17:23. | :17:32. | |
village where he lived. This is my great, great uncle. Thomas Harris. | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
It was taken during the First World War. He joined in 1914. He died in | :17:38. | :17:45. | |
France in August 1918. This is the actual Victoria Cross he was awarded | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
after his death. He was killed in northern France. He was leading a | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
section to try and capture lachine gun posts. He was killed thdre. I | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
think he led two attempts and on the third one he was killed. He is | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
commemorated here. There is Thomas Harris close and a big stond with a | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
plaque detailing his life. We are commemorating Thomas by holding a | :18:13. | :18:20. | |
party later on in the spring. This photo is important to me because I | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
am very proud of Thomas being awarded the Victoria Cross. I don't | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
think many people can say they have a bit Tory across in the falily | :18:30. | :18:32. | |

It's been called the gardenhng world's answer to the Great British | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
Bake Off. The Big Allotment Challenge will see nine pairs of | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
green`fingered contestants compete for the title of best grower, | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
producing vegetables, fruits and flowers for a panel of experts. Jane | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
Witherspoon went to meet two horticultural enthusiasts from Hove | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
` Gary Murdock and Pete Taylor ` who are taking part in tomorrow's | :19:09. | :19:17. | |
'rake`off'! What is this? It is lovely. It is a | :19:18. | :19:25. | |
weed. They just look pretty. The Big Allotment Challenge has dug up some | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
characters. Meet Gary and Pdte, the self`proclaimed lazy gardendrs. We | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
have a method of doing as lhttle as possible. Minimum effort, m`ximum | :19:36. | :19:43. | |
yield. How does it work? By not doing much weeding. A weed hs just a | :19:44. | :19:55. | |
plant in the wrong place. The show is open to follow on the success of | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
the Great British Bake Off. Nine pairs of gardeners were filled for | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
six months competing to win challenges, including growing, | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
flower arranging and producd making. We saw it as a commtnity | :20:06. | :20:13. | |
event. Everyone was really nice helping each other right. `` out. | :20:14. | :20:34. | |
You need to get rid of all the stones! Some of the Gardners are | :20:35. | :20:48. | |
starting to realise that growing radishes isn't very easy. It is | :20:49. | :20:58. | |
