top story tonight, the schoolboy on trial for beating a woman to death | :00:05. | :00:15. | |
:00:15. | :00:15. | ||
with a hammer. The jury hears that he made plans for the killing and | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
searched for websites on how to get away with murder. | :00:18. | :00:21. | |

Good evening and welcome to Monday's programme. First tonight, | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
a schoolboy's gone on trial accused of murdering a woman with a hammer. | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
Today a jury heard that the boy had written detailed plans for the | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
killing and that he tried to destroy the evidence by burning his | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
victim's body. For more details, let's cross to Nottingham Crown | :01:17. | :01:25. | |
Court and our social affairs correspondent, Jeremy Ball. Good | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
evening, Jeremy. Good evening. The prosecution said the jury will hear | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
disturbing evidence. This happened at the woman's home in Nottingham | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
last year. She was beaten so badly that her skull was fractured and | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
though her and her body was covered in petrol and set on fire. And -- | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
and then her body was covered in petrol. We are not allowed to | :01:49. | :01:59. | |
identify it the person accused or the woman. If he has admitted the | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
attack, why is the trial taking place? The jury has to decide | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
whether he is guilty of murder. That is because the defence say he | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
had been provoked and that he finally lost control after the | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
woman called him a freak. The prosecution see it differently and | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
they say this was well planned and so it there is damning evidence | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
found by detectives on his computer hard drive. He had been looking up | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
website on how to get away with murder and there are also clips | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
from a similar soap-opera plot and he had tried to delete a story that | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
mapped out details of this killing and we heard that this boy had | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
immersed himself in a fantasy world and the boundaries between real | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
life and fiction had become very tragically blurred. Looking back, | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
had there been any warning signs? We heard there had been some | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
worries about his behaviour. One incident in class where he started | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
screaming that his school tie was trying to hurt him. We also heard | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
that he had been talking to a councillor, heard that he had been | :03:06. | :03:16. | |
:03:16. | :03:16. | ||
hearing voices -- a counsellor. will leave it there, thank you. | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
A Nottinghamshire town is fighting to get rid of its reputation as a | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
centre for weekend binge drinking. Mansfield wants to earn a purple | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
flag - an award given to town centres which promote responsible | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
drinking. Our cameras followed police on a busy night dealing with | :03:29. | :03:39. | |
:03:39. | :03:42. | ||
alcohol-related violence. From A recent report highlighted this | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
town has a drinking problem. The highest numbers of alcohol-related | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
hospital admissions and the highest levels of alcohol and crime in | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
Nottinghamshire. So we are out with Mansfield police on one of the | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
busiest nights of the year will stop and we are in for a rough ride. | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
What has happened? SCREAMING. 's before I spend an evening with | :04:08. | :04:17. | |
the police I want to discover this town's darkest hour. The mid- | :04:17. | :04:27. | |
:04:27. | :04:27. | ||
noughties. Most weekends saw serious accident. This woman's | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
relative died but no charges were brought. He went out on a Friday | :04:33. | :04:43. | |
:04:43. | :04:44. | ||
night and never came back. You have got to be careful. You hope your | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
children can go out and be safe. And not have the heartbreak we had. | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
The term and to reduce major incidents, the police and | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
authorities are trying to tackle problem pubs and people. A do not | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
kick the van! Besides arrests, the police use powers like direction to | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
leave, which bars people from the town centre through the night. A | :05:07. | :05:16. | |
more serious thing is a drink banning order. Look price received | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
the first one, be named and shamed. -- Luke price. It was big news. I | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
live in a pub and I am banned from them. Do you think these drink | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
banning orders work? Yes, it is in the back of your mind. You don't | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
want to go out causing trouble because if you get caught... | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
Despite the crackdowns, initiatives and goodwill, tackling weekend | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
binge-drinking remains a challenge in Mansfield. But this town is | :05:43. | :05:50. | |
serious about fighting for its purple flag. Somewhere that | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
discourages binge-drinking. You can see Stuart Woodman's full | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
report on tonight's Inside Out at 7:30 on BBC One. | :05:57. | :06:00. | |

Two men have appeared in court charged with the murder of a | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
takeaway shop owner from Leicester. The body of the businessman was | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
found earlier this month, as Helen Astle reports. | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
The body of Dogan Dogan was found in his flat above a takeaway on 8th | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
January. This morning, 31-year-old Wali Khan and 27-year-old Naveed | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
Naveed, both from St Stephen's Road appeared at Leicester magistrates' | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
court. Each confirmed their name and address. They were arrested on | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
Thursday and spent two days in police custody before being charged. | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
During the 15 minute hearing, Wali Khan and Naveed Naveed did not | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
enter a plea. They have been remanded into custody. It will | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
later be decided if they will be granted bail. In the meantime, | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
police investigations into the murder of Dogan Dogan are | :07:14. | :07:21. | |
continuing. A man has been jailed for nearly | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
five years after he ran over a special constable in Nottingham and | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
broke her leg in three places. Lee Ashton hit Carly Henfrey with a | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
stolen car on Shakespeare Street as he tried to escape from police last | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
November. A judge at Nottingham Crown Court said the public could | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
only be protected if he was in custody because he constantly | :07:36. | :07:43. | |
flouted any bans or punishments given to him regarding driving. | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
The family of an off-duty police officer who was critically injured | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
in a hit-and-run have thanked people in Mansfield for their | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
unwavering support. PC Diederik Coetzee was cycling along Blidworth | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
Lane at the end of November when he was hit by a car. He's still in | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
hospital in a stable condition. Four people have been arrested and | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
bailed in connection with the incident. | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
A BAFTA-winning actress has appeared in court charged with | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
racially aggravated assault. 21- year-old Lauren Socha, who won a | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
BAFTA for her role in the TV series Misfits, is alleged to have | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
assaulted a taxi driver in Derby one night last October. Today she | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
appeared at Derby Crown Court where she pleaded not guilty to the | :08:23. | :08:30. | |
charge. Her trial is expected to take place in April. | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
People living in a Leicestershire village are warning that someone | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
could be killed unless urgent action is taken to force traffic to | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
slow down. They say motorists are ignoring a 20mph speed limit | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
through Kilby. One house on a corner has so far had four cars | :08:45. | :08:54. | |
:08:55. | :08:57. | ||
Rosemary and Michael Arrowsmith have lived on Main Street in Kilby | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
for more than 30 years. Their 400- year-old House is at one end of the | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
village. They say the speed limit being ignored and the Grade Two | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
listed property usually bears the brunt if motorists drive carelessly. | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
We have had people run into the side of the house, into the front | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
we had a car through the front with a concrete bollard coming in front | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
of it. And then this final one where the car went up and hit the | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
window. That is in the middle of the house, not even on the corner. | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
�40,000 damage was caused in the last accident. Some residents say | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
school buses are breaking the speed limit and there may be disastrous | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
consequences. We are worried about the children playing out. There is | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
a school here. Somebody will get knocked over eventually. There will | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
be a serious accident before long. My one car is coming into the | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
village, another is going out and they will hit head-on. Something | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
might get done then but it wants doing before then to prevent it. | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
Even the bollards outside the home had to be replaced when there had | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
been damaged. Leicestershire County Council says officers will be | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
holding a site meeting later this week to see whether anything else | :10:07. | :10:17. | |
:10:17. | :10:17. | ||
can be done. Most of us have probably driven on | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
the M1 at some time or another, but have you ever thought about who's | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
responsible for the smooth running of the motorway? When accidents | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
happen or when people break down, it's the job of the Highways Agency | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
to divert traffic, arrange recovery and make the scene safe. Our | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
reporter Jonathan Cecil has been out with two teams covering our | :10:32. | :10:42. | |
:10:42. | :10:42. | ||

use overhead signs and control the flow of vehicles. It is the | :10:55. | :11:03. | |
Two cars have collided and one of the drivers has called the police, | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
making allegations about the other driver. People are angry when there | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
has been an accident so you tend to get the after-effects of the anger. | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
We will see what happens with this one, I suspect it will be dealt | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
with by the insurance companies. But the most dangerous places on | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
the motorway can be the hard shoulder. We have vehicles coming | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
up to the hard shoulder every now and then when people are not paying | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
attention or falling asleep so you have to keep your eyes open all the | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
time. The major road and trunk road networks carry two thirds of all | :11:36. | :11:42. | |

so popular that an extra seventh week was added to the run. The | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
musical, which finished at the weekend, sold 2,000 tickets more | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
than the previous year's production, The King And I. | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
Today marks the start of an auspicious year in the Chinese | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
calendar. Celebrations have been taking place across the East | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
Midlands, including in Leicester. And this year is particularly | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
special because it's the Year of the Dragon. The Chinese believe | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
that children born now are destined to be successful and wealthy so | :13:20. | :13:30. | |

Millions of pounds is being spent on new ambulances for the East | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
Midlands designed to transport the heaviest patients. 80 emergency | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
vehicles have been ordered that can carry patients weighing up to 50 | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
stone. Our health correspondent Rob Sissons reports. | :14:06. | :14:14. | |
We are getting bigger, eating more, Paramedics are going to accidents | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
whether patients and bigger as well. This person had to be rescued from | :14:18. | :14:27. | |
a crashed car. It was a while ago The they had to cut me out and I | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
don't know how many firemen it took to cut me out. The blood-pressure | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
cuff would not go around my arm because it was a small one. And the | :14:37. | :14:44. | |
trolley I was on, I was bulging over the sides. It was very | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
uncomfortable as a journey, degrading for me. And I felt sorry | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
for the stuff that had to deal with me. Now the ambulance service is | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
moving with the times to meet the challenge of heavier patients. | :14:56. | :15:02. | |
is our prototype vehicle. It has a standard A&E structure. Capable of | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
taking a patient up to 30 stone. And the new ones? The new ones will | :15:05. | :15:11. | |
take a patient up to 50 stones. It is a lot smoother for the patient | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
because it is electrical. At the moment, there are only five | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
ambulances serving an entire fleet of 270 that required to take | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
patients of more than 30 stone. Now, 80 more are on order. I felt sorry | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
for the staff that had to deal with me because they were trained to do | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
as much as they could and they obviously had to ask me how much I | :15:32. | :15:39. | |
worried which I know they have to do. -- how much I weigh. It was a | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
horrible experience. 37 of the new ambulances will go to Lincolnshire. | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire each will get 14 and by the summer, | :15:47. | :15:54. | |

way but there's a game tonight and its a big one. Leicester City off | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
to Championship pace-setters Southampton. But it's transfer | :16:14. | :16:17. | |

Welcome to St Mary's, massive game for Leicester City, off the back of | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
a 4-0 victory over Nottingham Forest. But formidable opponents | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
here for the Foxes this evening. Former Leicester striker Alan Young | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
joins me. First, what do city need to do to overcome Southampton | :16:44. | :16:50. | |
tonight? I think if they play anything like they performed | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
against Nottingham Forest then we will not be far away tonight. | :16:53. | :16:57. | |

Cotterill left looking for the The first one was never a penalty. | :18:50. | :18:57. | |
I can see why he has given the second one by thought we were | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
excellent, the better team. I thought we have got our team that. | :19:00. | :19:06. | |
You can argue who deserved it more but a McGugan special was earned. | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
Cotterell is convinced it will all The rest of the action now. Notts | :19:11. | :19:15. | |

test for the keeper. But they stood firm to come away with a goalless | :19:31. | :19:38. | |
I think we deserved at least a point. We did very well today and | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
we did not sit back. Not a negative 0-0. Notts County are still looking | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
for their first win in League One since November but a draw was a | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
decent result against promotion candidates, MK Dons. The visitors | :19:51. | :19:57. | |
took the lead in acrobatic style in the first half Notts County had | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
plenty of chances to equalise. Fans thinking it wasn't to be with the | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
MK Dons keeper in good form. 10 minutes to go, they got their brick | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
through thanks to the penalty decision. Up stepped Jeff Hughes | :20:11. | :20:21. | |
and he very rarely misses from the Other sport and some major changes | :20:21. | :20:28. | |
being announced at Leicester Tigers. Lock George Skivington is off to | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
London Irish in the summer, winger Alesana Tuilagi is Japan-bound and | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
young Billy Twelvetrees hasn't signed a new contract and will also | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
be leaving. It all probably gave Tigers fans something to discuss | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
during a stinker of a first half at Welford Road against the Italians, | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
Aironi. It got much better in the second half but this was a hollow | :20:43. | :20:50. | |
victory. As predicted, no Heineken Cup quarter-final place for Tigers. | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
Nottingham, meanwhile, were knocked out of the British and Irish Cup, | :20:53. | :21:01. | |
crashing 33-3 to Cornish Pirates. A great weekend for Nottingham | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
Panthers in the ice hockey. On Saturday night they beat the league | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
leaders Belfast away from home and they followed it up with a | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
comfortable 4-1 victory over Fife in Nottingham last night. Panthers | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
are now five points off the lead, with some very big games on the way | :21:17. | :21:25. | |
in February. In field hockey, no final win for | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
GB's women at the Four Nations in Cordoba. They lost 3-2 to Korea. | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
But a clean sweep in the group stages made this a great tournament | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
to start an Olympic year with. In badminton, if you watched our | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
Olympic Dreams programme yesterday you'll know that Nottingham's | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
badminton star Nathan Robertson and Leicester's Chris Adcock are in a | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
struggle for one spot in the mixed doubles at London 2012. Well, | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
yesterday Robertson struck a blow in that contest, winning the | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
Swedish Open with his partner, Jenny Wallwork. By the way,if you | :21:52. | :21:59. | |
didn't watch Olympic Dreams, it's now on BBC iPlayer. | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
A Nottingham lad has won Britiain's first ever gold medal at the Winter | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
Youth Olympics. Speed skater Jack Burrows was part of a victorious | :22:06. | :22:16. | |
:22:16. | :22:17. | ||
mixed nationality team in the 3,000 metres relay speed skating. Amazing, | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
it is the first ever win to Youth Olympics and I have got a gold | :22:20. | :22:27. | |
medal. You can't get higher than that right now, I am over the moon. | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
So young and such a grip must already of the sporting cliche! -- | :22:32. | :22:39. | |
One of the East Midlands' most iconic brands is 125 years old. | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
Raleigh may not have such a strong presence as it once had in | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
Nottingham, but its headquarters are still at Eastwood in | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
Nottinghamshire. And as Kylie Pentelow - a cycling enthusiast - | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
has been finding out, some of Raleigh's historic models are still | :22:50. | :23:00. | |
:23:00. | :23:04. | ||
ARCHIVE FOOTAGE: Britain's cycles, motorcycles and accessories and | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
here these fashion minded gill enthusiasts are being shown. They | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
say they don't make them like that anymore. The Raleigh's built back | :23:12. | :23:18. | |
in the 1950s are still going strong. But this one at least. Tom Gibson | :23:18. | :23:24. | |
bide his old 1953 delivery back almost every day to his cow was in | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
East League. For them, the Raleigh's arrival means feeding | :23:27. | :23:34. | |
time. Fantastic. I really love it because it keeps you fit. It is a | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
butcher's bike for delivering meat or it used to be. He found the back | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
in a skip about 30 years ago. was on a pile of rubbish in the | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
village behind a shop. It was going for scrap and I spoke to the trap | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
and he said I could have it but it was minus the front wheel. We found | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
it in a little shop in the village, a garage shop and they gave me it. | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
And it eventually got the new rear wheel and the saddle off the | :24:01. | :24:08. | |
internet recently. Raleigh began back in 1887, a small cycle company | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
on a Raleigh street. By the 1,900, the company was designing and | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
building 30,000 bikes every year. The whole bike is not built here | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
but the headquarters are firmly based in the East Midlands. | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
Nottingham is key to us. We are here in Eastwood in our 13 acre | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
site. We are like Formula One cars. We design everything here and they | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
are built abroad. It may not be a high-spec, super hi-tech model. In | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
fact, it does not even have years and it is not that easy to ride but | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
Tom says he loves it and despite numerous offers, he will never sell | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
the bike he saved from the scrap heap. | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
ARCHIVE FOOTAGE: May we look forward to a mutual era of | :24:53. | :25:03. | |
:25:03. | :25:04. | ||
And that was my commentary, obviously! | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
Well, you've been tweeting us about your bikes. Only time to mention a | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
few, Adam Longley said he always wanted a Raleigh Lizard when he was | :25:11. | :25:18. | |
young but could never afford one. have never heard of that one. | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
Jonathan Ashworth MP said all his bikes were Raleigh. His grandad | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
said they were the best and he loved his Raleigh Mustang. And Sean | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
Hanrahan had a Raleigh Grifter. They came out in 1981 and he was | :25:28. | :25:35. | |
the first kid on his street to own one. Did you ever have one? | :25:35. | :25:45. | |
:25:45. | :25:45. | ||
always wanted a chopper. And now Up was an early warning for the | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
band of rain coming in from the West -- there's an early warning. A | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
strong chance of turning to snow. These guys are clearing a present | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
and although it will be a cold early part of the evening, down to | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
about minus one Celsius, and thank you for David for capturing the sun | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
setting this evening along the River Trent. Keep your pictures | :26:05. | :26:14. | |
coming in, we always like to see them. A frost starting to form | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
later on so we will see the cloud increasing from the West as we get | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
into the early hours of the morning. As it starts to work its way in, it | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
will turn to rain as well. There will be some snow affecting the | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
Peak District ever higher ground. If you're travelling overnight, | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
watch out. And as the band of rain moves east, it turns to a wintry | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
mix of rain, sleet and snow. The main difference for ourselves is | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
the temperatures. The further west, back into double figures with our | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
maximum daytime temperature at no higher than four Celsius. It will | :26:48. | :26:58. | |
:26:58. | :26:58. | ||
be one of those dull days. And some hill fog as well. A pretty | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
miserable day on the roads if you are going anywhere tomorrow | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
afternoon. And throughout the evening as well, we see the milder | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
air coming in again and for Wednesday, a slightly different day | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
starting to get a bit breezy and there will be a bit of cloud | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
remaining with us as well. A grey, drizzly sort of day with milder | :27:18. | :27:23. |
