:01:59. > :02:01.Since 2011, additional security measures have been put in place here
:02:02. > :02:05.at Stepping Hill Hospital and they are among the most stringent in the

:03:03. > :03:06.sister with an axe just two days after being sent home from ` mental
:03:07. > :03:09.health unit has been sentenced to life imprisonment. John Jenkin, from
:03:10. > :03:12.Millom in Cumbria, must serve a minimum of 12 years and stax at
:03:13. > :03:15.Ashworth High Securiy Hospital for treatment. Stuart Pollitt w`s in
:03:16. > :03:18.court. In a matter of minutes, John Jenkin
:03:19. > :03:21.hacked his closest family to death. First, he killed his mother,
:03:22. > :03:24.58`year`old Alice McMeekin, before turning on his sister Katie Jenkin.
:03:25. > :03:30.Both an axe.
:03:31. > :03:33.The words do not exist to ddscribe our feelings of loss. Alice and
:03:34. > :03:37.Katie will always be missed and fondly remembered by all who knew
:03:38. > :03:40.them. Life for us will never be as it was.
:03:41. > :03:44.But could and should John Jdnkin have been stopped? On June six last
:03:45. > :03:48.year, he told a passer`by hd would kill his mother, before attdmpting
:03:49. > :03:51.suicide in a country park. Police took him to Furness General
:03:52. > :03:55.Hospital's mental health unht, but a 90 minute assessment declardd him a
:03:56. > :04:01.low risk to others and he w`s sent back to the family home. 36 hours
:04:02. > :04:05.later, he killed his mother, sister and the family dog. He confdssed to
:04:06. > :04:08.nurses, later saying "I killed them with an axe, I lost control." John
:04:09. > :04:15.Jenkin already pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of
:04:16. > :04:18.diminished responsibility. He will be treated in Ashworth Hosphtal
:04:19. > :04:21.home to the likes of Moors lurderer Ian Brady, before doctors are
:04:22. > :04:26.satisfied that he can be tr`nsferred to prison.
:04:27. > :04:29.This is a particularly traghc case and it has left the friends and
:04:30. > :04:32.family of Alice and Katie devastated. I think this case will
:04:33. > :04:35.have a lasting effect on evdryone involved.
:04:36. > :04:39.The central question is how and why John Jenkin was allowed to be sent
:04:40. > :04:44.home from a mental health assessment unit two days before he carried out
:04:45. > :04:48.the killings. That is the stbject of an internal review and a dolestic
:04:49. > :04:52.homicide review. But today, Cumbria Partnership NHS Trust stood by the
:04:53. > :04:55.decision of the staff at thd time, saying that the assessment conducted
:04:56. > :05:10.was thorough and the steps taken appropriate
:05:11. > :05:15.The Championship's biggest latch of the season takes place tomorrow when
:05:16. > :05:18.second place Burnley host top of the table Leicester City. The Clarets
:05:19. > :05:21.are undefeated in 16 games, while their opponents remain unbe`ten in
:05:22. > :05:25.18. A win for Burnley by three clear goals could see them go to the top.
:05:26. > :05:31.But manager Sean Dyche says they're treating it the same as any other
:05:32. > :05:35.game. We believe that we should prepare
:05:36. > :05:41.for every challenge that coles our way. We are aware that they are a
:05:42. > :05:46.very good side, but we think that we have played well as well. Wd are
:05:47. > :05:51.enjoying what we're doing and what the team are achieving we look to go
:05:52. > :05:55.again on Saturday. And there's full commentary of that
:05:56. > :05:59.match on BBC Radio Lancashire with kick off at 12:15.
:06:00. > :06:03.In Super League tonight, St Helens have been playing Leeds and it was
:06:04. > :06:06.quite a game with Saints clhnching victory in the final few minutes,
:06:07. > :06:09.with this Tom Maknison try with Saints going on to win by 14 points
:06:10. > :06:13.to ten. Elsewhere tonight Salford h`ve lost
:06:14. > :06:18.by 30 points to eight at Hull, while Wigan have beaten Catalan bx 22
:06:19. > :06:22.points to 16. And sales have narrowly won at Bath
:06:23. > :06:39.tonight. And here is the we`ther. It will be good. It has been a mixed
:06:40. > :06:45.day with showers, but the wdekend it should be drier and brighter and
:06:46. > :06:52.warmer. We saw highs of 11 Celsius today, we could seek higher than 17
:06:53. > :06:59.Celsius on Saturday and Sunday. Maybe more cloud around tonhght
:07:00. > :07:05.There are still some heavy showers. Still a breeze as well and plenty of
:07:06. > :07:12.cloud, so temperatures not so bad by dawn, six or seven Celsius. It will
:07:13. > :07:18.be a bit grey tomorrow mornhng, in the afternoon, the wind will begin
:07:19. > :07:25.to blow the clouds away. It will hopefully be brighter by thd end of
:07:26. > :07:31.the day and a pleasant, bredzy afternoon, very simple `` shmilar
:07:32. > :07:32.temperatures on Sunday. We will look at what the
