:02:52. > :02:55.alongside her were the three men who helped her. At one point Dennehy
:02:56. > :02:58.told the court she was not sorry for having killed three men.
:02:59. > :03:01.This was the first time Joanna Dennehy had been seen in court since
:03:02. > :03:04.she pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey last November to the three murders
:03:05. > :03:09.in Peterborough and two attempted murders in Hereford. Brought to
:03:10. > :03:11.Cambridge to record the sentencing hearing, the serial killer's
:03:12. > :03:17.barrister said his client's offending was at the high`end of the
:03:18. > :03:21.criminal scale. The court was told she accepted she acted in a volatile
:03:22. > :03:26.way from time to time and that she acknowledged that she manipulated
:03:27. > :03:31.men around her. Her barrister said it was her case that she was not in
:03:32. > :03:34.sexual relationships with the men. She stabbed to death her friend
:03:35. > :03:38.Lukasz Slaboszewski, housemate John Chapman, and landlord Kevin Lee, who
:03:39. > :03:41.she made where a black dress shortly before he died. And then
:03:42. > :03:48.unexpectedly, Joanna spoke about victim Kevin Lee. In a raised voice
:03:49. > :03:52.she said there was no sexual interference. "It is hearsay, I was
:03:53. > :03:56.quick to assault him in a dress, I did put him in a dress, it was
:03:57. > :04:02.humiliation, pure and simple. There was nothing sexual about it." Then,
:04:03. > :04:06.just as she was leaving the court in handcuffs, there was a second
:04:07. > :04:09.outburst. In the presence of her victim's relatives she said, I want
:04:10. > :04:13.to make everyone to know I'm sorry for the attempted murders but I'm
:04:14. > :04:21.not sorry for the murders. Sentencing will be later this month
:04:22. > :04:24.at the Old Bailey. An inquest jury has returned a
:04:25. > :04:28.verdict of accidental death on four men who were killed when a steel

:04:32. > :04:34.brothers from Suffolk Daniel and Tom Hazelton, Peter Johnson and Adam

:04:51. > :04:55.January 2011. It was going to reinforce a concrete base for
:04:56. > :05:02.pressure testing at Claxton engineering in Great Yarmouth.
:05:03. > :05:08.Daniel and his younger brother Tom died in the accident with Peter
:05:09. > :05:16.Johnson and Adam Taylor. The men had been sub contracted from another
:05:17. > :05:22.firm. They died at the scene from traumatic asphyxia. A solicitor read
:05:23. > :05:28.out a statement on behalf of the family. We will never be able to
:05:29. > :05:30.come to terms with our devastating loss.
:05:31. > :05:35.Four men went to work that day and never came home. The evidence
:05:36. > :05:39.clearly showed that the men were conscientious and skilled workers
:05:40. > :05:46.and no concerns were raised about the work they were doing.
:05:47. > :05:56.The employer is still going but has struggled to find work.
:05:57. > :06:03.The Health and Safety Executive will now review the evidence in light of
:06:04. > :06:06.the inquest. They will decide whether criminal proceedings are
:06:07. > :06:12.appropriate and will announce its decision in due course.
:06:13. > :06:24.The judge extended his sympathy to the families of the four men. They

:07:08. > :07:13.quite windy with lots of showers piling on from the south`west. There
:07:14. > :07:19.will be dry intervals but it will be quite a windy day. It will ease a
:07:20. > :07:27.little bit as we head through the day. The showers tends to fade away
:07:28. > :07:32.through the course of the evening leaving a dry night. Sunday is much
:07:33. > :07:36.and bright after a chilly night. I will leave you with the weekend
:07:37. > :07:45.summary for London. Let's go to the weather centre to get the national
:07:46. > :07:48.forecast. Our love hate relationship with the
:07:49. > :07:54.weather has become unbalanced this winter, I suspect there is not a lot
:07:55. > :08:00.of love left. Today's storm has not helped. It gave us 20 to 30
:08:01. > :08:03.millimetres of rain. Snow in the past few hours at lower levels in
