The murder of Elizabeth and Katie Edwards -

A 15 year-old girl guilty along with her boyfriend.

I hope he gets locked up and they throw the key away.

She was a nice lady, she didn't deserve that.

We'll be live in the quiet market town of Spalding,

scarred by these planned and callous murders.

A big rise in sick people h`ving to wait more than an hour

And we are set to see furthdr showers tomorrow although they will

be few and far between. I whll be back later in the programme with the

details. A 15-year-old girl has been found

guilty of murdering a woman and her daughter as they sldpt,

in killings that she planned Elizabeth and Katie Edwards

were stabbed at their home in Spalding in Lincolnshire in April

by the 15 year-old's boyfridnd, The teenagers killers, who can't be

named because of their age, are Britain's youngest ever couple

to be convicted of murder. What happened here in Spaldhng has

been described as cold, calculated and callous. The murders were born

out of an intense and toxic relationship and planned in

meticulous detail. Elizabeth Edwards was stabbed eight times, her

daughter twice, with a 20 cdntimetre kitchen knife. The murder wdapon was

then left in Katie's room. Ht was the boy that killed them, stabbing

them in the neck and targethng their voice boxes so they wouldn't screen.

The court heard today that the girl was the driving force, and she

watched it happen. Lincolnshire Police spoke after today's verdict

and said the horror of what happened had had a devastating effect.

Today, the court has found a 15-year-old

A teenage boy has also pleaded guilty to the same murders.

What makes this case even more shocking, is that these two were 14

years of age when they planned, committed these callous,

senseless and unprovoked attacks on Elizabeth and Katie.

This case has left a number of lives in ruins.

No remorse has been shown and it is a crime that has deeply affdcted the

What happened here in this house shocked the local community.

49-year-old Elizabeth Edwards and her 13-year-old daughter Katie

were stabbed in the neck and smothered while they sldpt.

Even when we came down to the house and brought flowers,

No, this isn't right, this can't have

Sheena and Sue have set up ` local memorial where residents can

remember a popular mother and daughter.

Elizabeth was a dinner lady at this primary school.

When she didn't turn up for work, concerns were raised.

She normally always phones tp or she would drop a letter in with one of

the mums going by. So she always let people know. A bit concerned because

she hadn't been in but not `ctually realising how serious it was. They

lay dead for nearly a day and a half before being discovered by police.

Jane was a friend, but she `lso knew the teenagers that killed them.

Scum. I have nothing to say. He s just scum. I hope he gets locked up

and they throw away the key. She was a nice lady and she didn't deserve

that and they have to be made accountable for what they h`ve done.

Raising the tragedy of what happened here will be difficult, but

residents are determined to remember Liz and Katie as a kind, funny and

loving mother and daughter. I am in the Memorial garden now and

the plaque reads, from your friends, for ever in our hearts. The ordeal

isn't over for this town, the pair will be sentenced in Novembdr and

they will live with the notoriety of being labelled Britain's yotngest

ever double murderers. Thank you very much.

particularly coal - for its decision.

Hull Trains has won the Rail Operator of the Ye`r award

The company, which launched in the year 2000, says it's down

to continual investment in its trains and improvements

We knew that we'd got a bushness and the product that was performing

But to win it is unusual, we are a relatively small btsiness

for the rail industry, up against rather large franchises,

So to win something when yot're a much smaller business

is a great endorsement to our people and indeed,

The number of sick people kdpt in parked ambulances outsidd some

of our local hospitals for more than an hour

That's according to figures obtained by the Labour party.

The rules say ambulance staff should be able to pass patients to Accident

and Emergency staff within 05 minutes of arrival.

Ambulances queueing up outside our hospitals,

an increasingly common sight as emergency departments get too

The government target for h`ndovers is 15 minutes and hospitals face

fines of up to ?1000 for evdry hour a patient is left waiting.

It's not a good experience for those patients who are either in the back

of an ambulance or on a trolley in the hospital waiting

But most importantly, if we have patients in the community

who are waiting for an ambulance response, clearly we are un`ble

to respond in the time framd we are required to do so.

The East Midlands Ambulance Service say more than 6,000 patients

were left waiting for more than an hour outside emergency

Latest figures show the number had trebled to more than 18,000.

During the same period, the Yorkshire Ambulance Service

reported there were 1400 patients waiting more than 60 minutes,

Managers here at Lincoln Cotnty says some of the delays are due

to a shortage of beds elsewhere in the hospital.

Today we have about 40 patients on the site

who are medically fit for dhscharge, who could go to another

place of care if there was capacity available.

All of that culminates in a problem in A where the bottleneck is,

which is sometimes why we see crews waiting.

Here at Scunthorpe's A st`ff introduced a new handover

Met in here by a nurse who can take a handover, do a quick assessment

and initiate the initial trdatment or assess if patients need lore

critical care and move them to the resuscitation unit,

or they need to see a doctor straightaway.

We used to have around six patients a day waiting over the 60 mhnutes.

Obviously in times when we're busy, it is difficult to turn round.

Paramedics from the East Midlands Ambulance Service told me they too

have noticed a difference in turn around times

at Northern Lincolnshire's hospitals.

But all hospitals say they're working hard

Cleethorpes has reached the finals of the great British high-street

Lincolnshire this evening whll die away, I dry night with clear spells.

We might see the odd missed patch and these are the values in the

towns and cities, so cooler in the country site. Tomorrow, lots of dry,

bright weather and decent spoils of sunshine and showers cropping up

Good evening. As you've just seen from your local outlook, not a huge

amount changes over the next few days. The weather patterns will be

blocked again. What is driving that? It's a deep area of low pressure,

the remnants of hurricane Nicole in the Atlantic. That's heading towards

Greenland. Set to pile up the snow here, metres of it in the next few

days. It's dragging a lot of warm air into the North Atlantic on the

Eastern flank. What that does is build this, high pressure. That s

not going to move a great deal over the next few days. To the east, low

pressure in place. That means Eastern England always prone for

further showers through the rest of this week. For the rest of the UK,

largely dry, some sunny days, but also rather cool nights and a few

misty mornings. Some of you start that way in the morning.

Temperatures in single figures for the most part. A north-west breeze.
