:00:13. > :00:17.Good evening. A man's been found guilty of murdering his ex`partner

:00:18. > :00:22.just days after she told police she was petrified of him. Linah Keza was

:00:23. > :00:27.stabbed to death in front of her three`year`old daughter. The police

:00:28. > :00:34.watchdog the IPCC is now investigating. Our home affairs

:00:35. > :00:38.correspondent Guy Smith reports. She wanted to be free from fear,

:00:39. > :00:44.from the control of her violent former boyfriend. Just days before

:00:45. > :00:47.she was murdered, Linah Keza had even tried to secure a

:00:48. > :00:52.non`molestation order at a County Court, claiming this man, David

:00:53. > :00:59.Gikawa, had threatened to kill her and once even inserted a knife into

:01:00. > :01:05.her mouth. On July the 31st last year at her home here, he stabbed

:01:06. > :01:08.her multiple times in front of their three`year`old daughter. A neighbour

:01:09. > :01:22.heard her screaming and went to help. David Gikawa was seen running

:01:23. > :01:26.off. That was how he wanted to end the relationship, by butchering her.

:01:27. > :01:35.Linah Keza worked as a model and was a mother. She was described by her

:01:36. > :01:40.family is caring and open. She would sacrifice even her own life for

:01:41. > :01:45.someone. She would put other people's interests before hers. I

:01:46. > :01:53.can't believe that I will never see her again. Linah Keza came from

:01:54. > :01:58.Rwanda to seek a better life and study. She called police week before

:01:59. > :02:02.her death to complain about David Gikawa. The next day she gave a

:02:03. > :02:07.statement, and on July the 29th, she called police to report that he had

:02:08. > :02:13.been stalking her and have slashed a friend's car tyres. Two days later,

:02:14. > :02:18.she was dead. The prosecution said the systems in place failed to

:02:19. > :02:22.prevent her death. She told the police she was petrified of her ex,

:02:23. > :02:27.and that he carried a knife that he had sharpened. It is very evident

:02:28. > :02:33.today that those fears were not taken as seriously as they should

:02:34. > :02:36.have been. We find that victims of domestic violence often

:02:37. > :02:44.underestimate the danger they are in, but they never overestimate it.

:02:45. > :02:49.When Linah Keza told David Gikawa that her relationship with him was

:02:50. > :02:52.over, the jury heard, he was out for revenge.

:02:53. > :02:56.Almost half of the paramedics working in the London Ambulance

:02:57. > :03:01.Service could be investigated after allegations of widespread cheating

:03:02. > :03:04.in exams. It's emerged that 850 staff who qualified over a four`

:03:05. > :03:06.year period may have had access to the final exam paper before sitting

:03:07. > :03:15.the test. The Mayor's being criticised for

:03:16. > :03:18.giving the go`ahead to a new luxury hotel development in Nine Elms which

:03:19. > :03:24.will fall well short of its promise of nearly 1,000 new jobs. The

:03:25. > :03:26.Chinese developers have cut all the office space from their plans,

:03:27. > :03:32.replacing it with more hotel rooms and private apartments. But City

:03:33. > :03:37.Hall says it will help regenerate a neglected area. Tim Donovan's report

:03:38. > :03:47.does contain some flash photography from the start.

:03:48. > :03:53.In Beijing last autumn, the bosses showed the men their vision for a

:03:54. > :04:02.Then there was only planning South

:04:03. > :04:05.Then there was only planning permission a smaller hotel, but six

:04:06. > :04:11.months on, they have what they wanted. Market Towers in Nine Elms

:04:12. > :04:13.currently consists of these two office blocks which have seen better

:04:14. > :04:23.days, but this is what will replace them. Two Towers soaring into the

:04:24. > :04:27.sky, one 200 metres high. Initially there would be 10,000 square metres

:04:28. > :04:34.of offices, but first the local council and now the mayor have

:04:35. > :04:37.allowed a key change. The company is getting rid of all of the office

:04:38. > :04:41.space and doubling the size of its luxury hotel. Critics point out that

:04:42. > :04:49.that will actually lead to fewer jobs being created in an area which

:04:50. > :04:52.badly needs them. The jobs would be luxury. They will be cleaners,

:04:53. > :04:59.janitors, security staff, which will not provide quality careers for

:05:00. > :05:06.local people, which we were promised when this development came forward.

:05:07. > :05:09.It is at the heart of one of the mayor's economic opportunity areas,

:05:10. > :05:14.and job creation is a priority, but whereas offices would have brought

:05:15. > :05:25.more than 900 new jobs, with the hotel, it will be 500 jobs, a

:05:26. > :05:29.reduction of 45%. There has been no reduction in the housing plan,

:05:30. > :05:32.nearly 500 apart is, only one in ten affordable and none for rent,

:05:33. > :05:38.although ?7 million is the expense of audible hopes to be built

:05:39. > :05:40.elsewhere. One critic says it has been aged if from the mayor to the

:05:41. > :05:46.developers. These overseas development are making `` overseas

:05:47. > :05:51.developers are making a vast amount of RFID out of this, but local

:05:52. > :05:56.residents are not. Bid if you don't let them make profits, they will put

:05:57. > :06:03.their investment elsewhere. I don't believe that.

:06:04. > :06:05.City Hall so the developers are paying an extra ?300,000 for

:06:06. > :06:11.employment training, along with ?14 million towards the new Northern

:06:12. > :06:12.line extension they said there would be no sound legal basis for the

:06:13. > :06:26.mayor to object to this application. He promised his trip to China would

:06:27. > :06:30.bring benefits. Some are questioning whether he is getting quite enough.

:06:31. > :06:34.Well, that's all from me, so I'll wish you a very good night and hand

:06:35. > :06:39.you over to Louise Lear with the weather.

:06:40. > :06:47.There is some rain in the forecast. We have been promising unit all day.

:06:48. > :06:51.You can see it quite clearly here, with some rain a little further

:06:52. > :06:57.west, but not quite as heavy and widespread. It will clear away

:06:58. > :07:06.towards dawn, leaving behind quite mild start the day. Mild, dry and

:07:07. > :07:10.potentially sunny, but as the day develops, there is always the risk

:07:11. > :07:16.of a few sharp and possibly thundery downpours into the afternoon. If you

:07:17. > :07:26.escape the showers, temperatures will respond quite nicely, up to 21

:07:27. > :07:35.Celsius for. He is Peter Gibbs with the National forecast.

:07:36. > :07:43.Good evening. Take some warm, humid air, add a generous measure of low

:07:44. > :07:44.pressure and you have
