a woman has been arrested after three of her children are found dead | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
at First tonight ` the bungled revenge | :00:00. | :00:20. | |
attack that killed a family of four in Leicester. Good evening and | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
welcome to the programme. The history making season for | :00:25. | :00:44. | |
Leicester. Whatever happened to the student who designed a shoe for the | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
Duchess of Cambridge? The Landsat lies here. `` the ants are lies | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
here. First this evening, a jury's been | :00:55. | :01:05. | |
told how a mother and her three children died in a fire in their | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
home in a bungled revenge arson attack. | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
Nottingham crown court heard the blaze in Leicester was deliberately | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
started by a gang of men who wanted to avenge the death of their friend | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
just hours earlier. But they got the wrong house. Sarah Teale has been in | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
court today and we can join her live now. Sarah this was described today | :01:25. | :01:33. | |
as a tragic case. Yes, it has been. The prosecution barrister Ricahrd | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
Latham QC started outlining the basic details of the case to the | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
jury today and he described it as horrendous. A revenge attack on the | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
wrong house. A sequence of events which started with the murder of one | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
man and ended in the deaths of a completely innocent family in their | :01:50. | :01:50. | |
own home. The fire ripped through the house in | :01:51. | :02:04. | |
the early hours of September 13 last year. Inside, sleep and unaware | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
whether mother and her three children. `` worth the mother. The | :02:11. | :02:21. | |
prosecutor told the murder trial it was a botched arson attack. He said | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
it was part of a revenge plan for the murder just seven hours earlier | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
of 20`year`old football coach, and one. He was stabbed in the back mile | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
away on Kent Street. A gang had witnessed the attack and they | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
believed Abdul Hannan been involved. As retribution, the court | :02:45. | :02:54. | |
heard they intended to set fire to the home. They simply got the wrong | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
house, the jury was told. It was a tragedy. The court heard how petrol | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
had been poured through the letterbox and had been ignited. The | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
fire took hold swiftly and engulfed the stairs. This was the family's | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
only means of escape. A firefighter said it was the worst domestic fire | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
he had seen in 50 years. Despite valiant efforts, nothing could be | :03:22. | :03:30. | |
done to save the family. Their husband and father was in Dublin at | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
the time when he worked as a consultant neurosurgeon. The jury | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
was told he had spoken to his wife and each child individually just | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
before the fire claimed their lives. The gang on trial are all from | :03:46. | :04:01. | |
Leicester. One man is from Leeds. They all deny four counts of murder. | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
To paint you a picture of the scene here at Court one there's a great | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
number of barristers and lawyers. They take up three rows of the | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
court. The prosecution opening is due to last until Friday. Then on | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
Monday the jury will be taken to the Woodhill in Leicester to see for | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
themselves the scene of the fire and the house which is still boarded up. | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
The trial is expected to last six to eight weeks. | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
It's Wednesday night, and you're watching East Midlands Today. Plenty | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
more ahead tonight. Including a look at how the region's | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
been celebrating the birthday of England's favourite bard and St | :04:41. | :04:49. | |
George's Day! Follow your spirit and upon this charge cry, England and St | :04:50. | :04:58. | |
George. Police investigating Madeleine | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
McCann's disappearance say six new incidents have come to light since a | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
special appeal was made last month. Madeleine vanished almost seven | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
years ago in Praia da Luz in Portugal's Algarve region. Police | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
are now looking at 18 potentially`linked cases, where a | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
lone intruder broke into villas in the region. The new incidents | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
include an assault on a 10`year`old in 2005 in Praia de Luz. | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
A Nottinghamshire police officer wrongly convicted of rape has been | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
suspended despite an order to reinstate him. Trevor Gray was | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
sacked and jailed before clearing his name during a retrial. Earlier | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
this month, the Police Appeals Tribunal ruled he could return to | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
his job at Nottinghamshire Police. The Force says he's been suspended | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
from duty pending the outcome of a gross misconduct hearing later this | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
year. Next tonight, the remarkable machine | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
which enables hospital patients to donate their own blood while they're | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
having an operation. The He`mosep device captures blood spilt during | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
surgery, filters it and then returns it to the patient. It's made in | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
Nottinghamshire by a family firm which used its expertise as lace | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
makers to develop it. Julie needed major open`heart | :06:17. | :06:24. | |
surgery. To have it she would normally need blood transfusions but | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
she is a Jehovah witness. Giving blood other than her own is against | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
her beliefs. It was important for me to have the surgery done without | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
anybody else's blood as a transfusion into my body. That is | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
where this machine helps. It is ground`breaking but how does it | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
work? During any procedure, there will be an element of blood loss. | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
You can take this blood, concentrate it in a concentrator bag, pass it | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
into the blood bag and give it to the anaesthetist to transfuse back | :06:56. | :07:03. | |
into the patient. It is extremely useful for patients because they are | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
getting their own blood back and their own clotting factors. In the | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
past, they would have only got red cells and the clotting cells would | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
have been lost. This process is quicker. It could also benefit | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
costs. Across the East Midlands 80,000 people donate thousands of | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
litres of blood. Julie would have needed more than three litres just | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
for her operation but this machine meant she could use her own. | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
Intriguingly, it has been made by a family firm at Kirkby in Ashfield | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
once known for its textiles and lace. It has used their expertise to | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
develop the filters and microscopic meshes needed to help patients like | :07:41. | :07:49. | |
Julie. It is wonderful. The device itself helped my surgery, my | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
recuperation afterwards. She is one of the first patients to use the | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
machine. Doctors in Nottingham are part of its first ever UK trials but | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
interest is growing across the world. | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
Next a safety warning from a fire chief over e`cigarettes. Dave Watson | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
from Leicestershire says that they could explode during battery | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
charging because there's no cut`off point. It comes after an e`cigarette | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
on charge in a woman's car caught fire. Mike O'Sullivan has this | :08:22. | :08:33. | |
report. Kim switched to e`cigarettes after it was left on | :08:34. | :08:42. | |
charge and it exploded. Luckily it was parked up with no one in at the | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
time. I open the door and a load of blacks smoke came out. I looked | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
inside the car and the back`seat was alight. I ran back into the house | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
and got a bowl and filled it up with water and put it out. Kim had bought | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
a e`cigarette kit from a petrol station but was using a different | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
charger and she believes this may have been what caused the fire. A | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
senior fire chief told me he has identified another problem. There | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
seems to be no safety cutout mechanism that prevents them from | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
overheating during charging which causes the battery to overheat and | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
literally explode. Kim is approaching Trading Standards over | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
her concerns of what she claims is a lack of instructions for using | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
e`cigarette kits. I was in shock and it is a nightmare. I don't want | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
anyone else to make the same mistake as I did. Kim has got a courtesy car | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
as her own will now be properly written off. She will be using | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
disposable e`cigarettes cigarettes in future. Shopkeepers in Leicester | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
say they stand to lose thousands of pounds due to a European ban on a | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
special type of mango. These ones in fact. | :10:05. | :10:05. | |
They're Alphonso mangoes which come from India. As of next month they | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
won't be available in the UK after a type of fruit fly was found in some | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
imports. These aren't just any mangoes. They | :10:20. | :10:27. | |
are Alphonso mangoes which are extreme `` extra sweet. They are | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
very popular here and this man is not happy about the ban. I am not | :10:31. | :10:38. | |
happy it is going to be banned. The Alphonso mangoes is and is only | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
eight weeks long but that means big business. He will sell 40,000 | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
mangoes every week and he will make just over that two`month period | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
around ?9,000. The band is going to cost him dearly. It will hit us. It | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
will definitely hit us with the mangoes. I was upset about it. It is | :11:02. | :11:11. | |
not just him that will be affected. They are very valuable to grocers, | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
especially those that Salomon wholesale. They helped turnover in a | :11:16. | :11:23. | |
big way. Some businesses can have ?56,000 profit per and and that | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
helps when it comes to the rest of the year. We are going through a bad | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
phase in terms of the retail sector and this is going to be another blow | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
for those businesses. It will be a shame because we look forward to | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
them all year. It will be a shame. I will have to wait until I get to | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
India to have them. I have grown up with the mangoes. He is hoping the | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
ban is overturned. Many of his customers are unhappy they won't be | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
able to get a taste of home on their doorstep. | :11:59. | :12:05. | |
Across the region have been celebrations to mark Saint Georges | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
Day. There've been parades, church bells ringing, even a call for St | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
George's Day to become a national holiday. | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
And to top it all, it's also been Shakepeare's 450th birthday too! | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
James Roberson's been out among the celebrations. There is no sign of | :12:21. | :12:37. | |
any Dragon. The lack of a bad he wasn't going to dampen the spirits | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
of these St George enthusiasts as many set off on a march into old | :12:43. | :12:50. | |
market square. A large crowd enjoy the entertainment before the parade | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
turned up but still no dragon inside. At last, a dragon. Where | :12:55. | :13:14. | |
more appropriate than in St George's Church. It is a small church but it | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
is a beautiful church. It is evolving into the 21st century | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
today. Back in Nottingham, depraved `` the parade arrived. We have | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
heritage here that we are very proud of. We only have eight bank holidays | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
throughout the year and I think there is room for another one. It is | :13:37. | :13:44. | |
our day. We should all celebrate it. Look how many people are here. | :13:45. | :13:51. | |
Everybody celebrates it and it should be a family day. Why not? We | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
celebrate other things so why not this. It is also Shakespeare's 450th | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
birthday today and in Derby, the theatre company wasn't going to let | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
that pass without a cake and a suitable reminder of the day. Follow | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
your spirit and upon this charge cry, God for Harry, England and St | :14:17. | :14:30. | |
George. If in doubt, always have a cake. Still to come ` what happens | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
when you design a shoe that gets picked by the Duchess of Cambridge. | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
Well, it happened to Becka and if you're into your footwear then | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
you're going to be very interested in what she's up to now. All will be | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
revealed later in the programme. Time now for sport and look what we | :14:45. | :15:00. | |
have in the studio tonight. Yes, the Football League Trophy. | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
Fantastic isn't it. What a sight for Leicester City fans tonight. A week | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
on Saturday they will see their team lift this stunning trophy at the | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
King Power stadium after a history making, magical season. Last night | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
in Bolton they clinched the Championship title in style, as | :15:18. | :15:19. | |
Kirsty Edwards reports. Champions of the Championship. They | :15:20. | :15:39. | |
have done it. Huge celebrations on a night that saw a great goal secure a | :15:40. | :15:48. | |
memorable win. It is a beauty. It is into the top corner. It is the gold | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
to cram the championships. Lord `` Lloyd Dyer got the goal. The party | :15:56. | :16:07. | |
could really begin. It is our year, it is our club, it is champions | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
2014. It is destination Premier League. Everyone knows we have | :16:14. | :16:27. | |
talked about it a lot. The spirit that we have is a team and also the | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
spirit of the club, everyone was hurting from last season and | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
everyone has come back in with a great man Teletubby. It is a great | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
thing for the entire club but most of all, for the fans. There will be | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
another chance for the players and fans to party on May the 5th bank | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
holiday Monday. Details have not been revealed yet but that is when | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
official celebrations will take place. `` May five. We have had a | :16:56. | :17:03. | |
fabulous following and the fans here tonight will enjoy the experience | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
and quite rightly so. We have gone over the line with two games to go. | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
I cannot complain. It is a bit special. Not only is Premier League | :17:15. | :17:23. | |
football come to Leicester, this city is now home to the football | :17:24. | :17:25. | |
league champions. Well joining me now is two special | :17:26. | :17:43. | |
guests Leicester City club ambassador Alan Birchenall and | :17:44. | :17:45. | |
official club historian John Hutchinson. Thank you both for | :17:46. | :17:56. | |
joining us tonight. Well first Birch look at these pictures. To go up | :17:57. | :18:04. | |
with six games to go and win the title with two games left is | :18:05. | :18:12. | |
incredible. It has been fantastic. That is why they have worked so hard | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
this season. You can see them enjoying themselves there. The lads | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
have got hold of him. They will have to watch his knees! It has been a | :18:22. | :18:30. | |
tremendous season for the lads. How good is this team? This team proves | :18:31. | :18:42. | |
it. This is probably the best squad I have known in 40 years. What about | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
the goal last night that clinched the title. Lloyd Dyer, quite fitting | :18:48. | :18:55. | |
because he is one of Nigel Pearson's first signings. Fantastic | :18:56. | :19:02. | |
goal. If you can unleash something like that, it was a rocket. It was | :19:03. | :19:09. | |
well deserved. It is just fantastic for the lads. John, we must look at | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
the stats. Leicester have broken records all season. It is a national | :19:17. | :19:27. | |
record. They have won 29 goals `` games all season. They have 96 | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
points, that is a club record. They have still got two games to go. They | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
have gone 12 games consecutively without defeat and that is a club | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
record. There is still two games to go. You could go on and on. You | :19:45. | :19:52. | |
should be a teacher. What about the win percentage for Nigel Pearson. | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
Statistically, he is your best ever manager. Nigel is statistically the | :19:58. | :20:05. | |
most impressive manager. He has got a win percentage of over 50%. No | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
other manager has come near that. Frank got them up in 1971 and got | :20:12. | :20:21. | |
46%. Martin O'Neill, 38%. Nigel is statistically the most successful | :20:22. | :20:23. | |
manager in the whole history of the club. Do you want to get your hands | :20:24. | :20:36. | |
on the trophy but I want Wes to be the first person to touch the | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
trophy. They will get to touch the trophy in ten days' time. It will be | :20:42. | :20:50. | |
a fantastic celebration. Statistically, we must be the best | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
programme. Time now to cast your mind back to March 2012 when the | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
Queen and the Duchess of Cambridge came to Leicester on the first stop | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
of the Jubilee celebrations. It was a momentous occasion for many people | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
but perhaps for none more so than a student who had entered her | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
university's competition, and won the chance to make a shoe fit for a | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
princess! But once your design is picked by | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
royalty and you finish your degree, what happens next? We tracked | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
Rebecca Hunt down to find out. Two years ago in celebration of the | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
Jubilee, the Duchess of Cambridge chose a shoe that have been designed | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
by a young De Montfort student. It means everything. It is incredible. | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
I am shocked. Shocked she was, but that they paved the way to today's | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
internship at one of the Duchess's favourite designers. We are inside | :21:41. | :21:42. | |
LK Bennett's headquarters in central London and Becka is on the top | :21:43. | :21:44. | |
floor. When you look back on that day where | :21:45. | :21:56. | |
the Duchess of Cambridge and the Queen came to the University, would | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
you ever forget that? It was such a whirlwind. It was a crazy day. I | :22:02. | :22:09. | |
remember it. It was a really memorable day and I don't think I | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
will ever forget that one. What about the shoe? We got a pair made | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
up. I have got a pair that I can keep and the prototype I made has | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
been displayed in Northampton Machine Museum. `` shoe museum. Will | :22:21. | :22:31. | |
it ever be made into a shoe for people to buy? No, out of respect | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
for the Duchess, that would never happen. It was designed especially | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
for her. What about your future? Where will you see yourself? The | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
future for me? I am here for a year until September and after that, we | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
will have to wait and see. My dream is to have my own line. | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
I know Becka would love to have her own line in the future. Is that | :22:54. | :23:01. | |
something that you think might become a reality? I think there is | :23:02. | :23:11. | |
somethingmight happen and she is very enthusiastic and very talented | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
and she truly believes in what she's doing. I hope that this experience | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
is going to help a lot along the path. It is probably just a case of | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
watch this space. What tips did you pick up? | :23:25. | :23:36. | |
Top tip this summer is flats. All of you have completely ignored | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
that. With the weather, it may be the | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
weather for wellingtons. We are expecting some April showers. | :23:45. | :23:53. | |
With some sunny spells, you can get out and about with your camera. We | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
have this weather front that is starting to push in and it gives us | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
an increasing cloud. The rain is now starting to push in. Outbreaks of | :24:06. | :24:12. | |
rain may be heavy at times. It clears away to the East eventually. | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
Behind it, we see the cloud breaking towards the West and we may see a | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
little bit of mist and fog in places. Temperatures down to eight | :24:23. | :24:29. | |
Celsius. The cloud that is with us first thing tends to break up quite | :24:30. | :24:34. | |

spells of sunshine as we go into the afternoon. What you will notice is a | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
fuchsia hours starting to develop. These will be particularly sharp. If | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
you get caught out, watch out for them. Temperatures around 16 Celsius | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
in the sunshine so still feeling quite pleasant. On Friday, we have | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
low`pressure out to the east of us. It is a mostly dry day before rain | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
pushes in. This area of low pressure starts to move on as we go into the | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
weekend and what that will do is give us sunshine and showers for | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
both Saturday and Sunday but decent spiny `` sunny spells at time. Not | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
