we Good tonight: Reaction to the death

:00:00.:00:48.

of Malcolm Glazer. And we hear from residents of one street who see

:00:49.:00:54.

workmen who appeared their street have only done half a job.

:00:55.:01:14.

Meehan. Our top story: This man was beaten to death by his

:01:15.:01:19.

housemate and buried in their Ellesmere Port backyard, now his

:01:20.:01:21.

killer is finally brought to justice.

:01:22.:01:39.

When Christophe Borgye went missing,

:01:40.:01:40.

his neighbours in Ellesmere Port were told he'd gone away. In fact,

:01:41.:01:44.

he'd been murdered, his remains buried in what police describe as a

:01:45.:01:48.

tomb in his own back yard. One of his killers finally told the police

:01:49.:01:51.

about it years after the crime. Two men have been convicted of murder.

:01:52.:01:54.

Stuart Flinders reports. For four years the residents of an

:01:55.:01:57.

estate in Cheshire knew nothing of the crime committed in their midst,

:01:58.:02:00.

of the body hidden in their neighbourhood. Sebastien Bendou kept

:02:01.:02:03.

a guilty secret until he could no longer cope. Bendou and Christophe

:02:04.:02:10.

Borgye, both of them French, were housemates. But the man across the

:02:11.:02:12.

road, another Frenchman, Domink Kocher, had a strange influence on

:02:13.:02:15.

the household. The precise motive for the killing is unclear, but

:02:16.:02:22.

Bendou a paranoid schizophrenic claimed Kocher had convinced him

:02:23.:02:28.

Christophe Borgye, a flight attendant, was a French spy and that

:02:29.:02:33.

they'd had been ordered to kill him by the Americans. Armed with a claw

:02:34.:02:37.

hammer and knives bought for the purpose from ASDA, Bendou and Kocher

:02:38.:02:43.

attacked their victim in the kitchen before burying him in the outhouse.

:02:44.:02:51.

The weapons were buried with him. The next door neighbours suspected

:02:52.:02:53.

nothing. A statement from Christophe Borgye's family is read by a police

:02:54.:02:58.

officer. Kocher has been given a life sentence. Bendou will be

:02:59.:03:37.

sentenced later this year. When Malcolm Glazer took over

:03:38.:03:45.

Manchester United in 2005, fans protested in the street, and

:03:46.:04:11.

ultimately formed a breakaway football club. But during his time

:04:12.:04:43.

in charge, the club has won five premier league titles and the

:04:44.:04:47.

Champions' League. As you'll know, the

Paresh Patel is there for us now. Self made billionaire Malcolm Glazer

:05:02.:05:04.

divided opinion on either side of Atlantic. Controversial in

:05:05.:05:06.

Manchester, hero in Florida. In 1995 Glazer bought the Tampa Bay

:05:07.:05:09.

Buccaneers and guided them to their first ever super bowl title. He also

:05:10.:05:12.

supported local charities and community projects. Today news of

:05:13.:05:23.

his death hit the town hard. Clip But Malcolm Glazer will be

:05:24.:05:27.

remembered less fondly by some in Manchester. United fans protested

:05:28.:05:29.

against his controversial takeover of their club in May 2005. The

:05:30.:05:42.

Glazers paid ?790 million. ?790 under the Glazers United did win 5

:05:43.:06:05.

Premier League titles and the Champions League. The club says his

:06:06.:06:17.

death is not expected to have any significant effect on their future

:06:18.:06:25.

operations and that the thoughts of everyone at the club are with his

:06:26.:06:30.

family. An inspection of Haverigg Prison in

after a patient was given the wrong blood type. Police investigating a

:08:02.:08:25.

murder in north Liverpool have made an arrest. The 43`year`old died of

:08:26.:08:37.

multiple stab wounds. Detectives are questioning a 53`year`old man on

:08:38.:08:40.

suspicion of murder. things I will tell you about

quickly. The tunnel that lead into pens three and four was steeper than

:10:37.:10:44.

it should have been according to guidelines. The guidelines are ideal

:10:45.:10:50.

but there was a one in ten gradient. We were also told about the crash

:10:51.:10:57.

barrier inside pens three and four. We are told that the one that failed

:10:58.:11:06.

at the disaster was dated from the 1930s. Thank you. Animal rights

:11:07.:11:15.

protesters were outside all the Manchester is today demanding higher

:11:16.:11:23.

prison sentence for a man who allowed his dog to become so

:11:24.:11:31.

emaciated it had to be put down. He had the present sentence and was

:11:32.:11:42.

banned for keeping animals for life after being convicted of a string of

:11:43.:11:57.

animal cruelty charges. The report is disturbing. Justice is what they

:11:58.:12:04.

called for. They are disappointed with the outcome. After delivering a

:12:05.:12:11.

petition containing 30,000 signatures, these protesters hoped

:12:12.:12:18.

even low would receive a massive `` maximum sentence of many months.

:12:19.:12:23.

Judges should give out maximum sentences. This is how hit the dog

Some offsetting energies there. Diana will be here for this fill

:13:14.:13:36.

And a tale of tarmac walls. When the last tyre rolled off the

:13:37.:13:44.

production line in the factory 12 years ago the impact was felt in the

:13:45.:13:52.

town. But now the derelict site where wine instead has had some

:13:53.:14:14.

funding. We manufacture items for aid of space. `` Aerospace. This

:14:15.:14:24.

machine is cutting this aluminium to make tools. It is one of the first

:14:25.:14:32.

businesses to move into innovation. The dream by this too one day be an

:14:33.:14:44.

Aerospace village. To create up to over 500 jobs. So far there is only

:14:45.:14:50.

one business on a side, who else is going to come? We have 60,000 square

:14:51.:14:56.

feet and we have a fire there 35,000 feet let to a local company. This

:14:57.:15:07.

site was once home to the tyre manufacturer Michelin. 12 years on,

:15:08.:15:14.

didn't this site eBay and is for a greater future? It was a huge blow.

:15:15.:15:25.

To have this company opening and already starting to take on local

:15:26.:15:40.

people is amazing. It is hoped to businesses like this will help

:15:41.:15:44.

Burnley take off in the right direction.

:15:45.:15:54.

100 years ago today, one of their worst maritime disasters took place.

:15:55.:16:00.

This passenger ship was on its way home to Liverpool when it sank in

:16:01.:16:06.

the Saint Lawrence River and Canada. The tragedy is barely remembered.

:16:07.:16:13.

Today there was a special men oil service. It was a Canadian Pacific

:16:14.:16:22.

Lane ship carrying immigrants. Stanley Baker was a 15`year`old Del

:16:23.:16:29.

boy. His elder brother Harry was also a board. As a grand daughters

:16:30.:16:33.

says when they ship sank, Harry was on the wrong side of a doorway. It

:16:34.:16:39.

was a water tainted door and he couldn't open it. His brother

:16:40.:16:45.

shouted at him to go. He just jumped in the water. At Liverpool parish

:16:46.:16:57.

church, a memo rail service was held. The great grandniece of

:16:58.:17:03.

another victim laid a wreath. I am happy. The captain survived. Has

:17:04.:17:12.

great grand daughter what would be covered from the wreck. He survived

:17:13.:17:19.

its demise but always felt he should have gone down with this yet. More

:17:20.:17:26.

than 100 survivors were brought back to Glasgow on another ship. It

:17:27.:17:30.

happened just before World War I, which explains why the disaster is

:17:31.:17:36.

so little known. The organiser of the service says of the 158 children

:17:37.:17:43.

on board, only four survived. The trauma and the heart has transferred

:17:44.:17:49.

down three generations. These people still feel it. 840 of the victims

:17:50.:17:57.

were passengers. More passengers lost than on the Titanic or the

:17:58.:18:12.

Lusitania. Here is a question. How big is the television you're

:18:13.:18:20.

watching on? We are about to meet the songwriter who has written a

:18:21.:18:24.

one`off cup single about the size of your television.

:18:25.:18:35.

It is a very catchy tune. Here is a bit of it. SINGING..

:18:36.:19:04.

It is catchy to say the least! . How big is your television? Mine is

:19:05.:19:15.

about 46 inches because I am blind. I am a 52 inch. I listened to it

:19:16.:19:24.

this afternoon and had been singing it ever since. It tells a story in

:19:25.:19:28.

its own right. It is also for charity. It is a record we did at a

:19:29.:19:37.

Manchester charity. They wanted a little idea and it's kind of

:19:38.:19:44.

blossomed from that. We wanted to make it managing in in terms of its

:19:45.:19:51.

subject matter. And having a dig at certain things. You are the main

:19:52.:20:02.

singer throughout the video. What is written on your tummy? My belly is

:20:03.:20:11.

bigger than your daily. You got a few big names as well. We got Ricky

:20:12.:20:25.

Hatton and others. We will have another look at it in a minute.

:20:26.:20:29.

There is a charity aspect to this, isn't there? Yes. Charities that are

:20:30.:20:35.

doing a lot of work in the community. It is the Manchester

:20:36.:20:50.

community thing, giving back. I have barely innovate? Good luck with the

:20:51.:21:00.

song. Yours is really good. You can get it on iTunes. Something

:21:01.:21:12.

completely different. Have you ever wondered what is at the bottom of

:21:13.:21:17.

the canal? They have been dredging and have been displaying the

:21:18.:21:23.

results. An art exhibition has been created from the recovered rubbish.

:21:24.:21:38.

It opened today in Manchester. I loved items and rubbish recovered

:21:39.:21:43.

from the canal has never been a smack has now been transformed into

:21:44.:21:46.

pieces of artwork by disgruntled residents and artists. I live on the

:21:47.:21:52.

Rochdale Canal so this was close to my heart. From seeing what waste

:21:53.:21:57.

gets thrown away. And seeing the boards, through. `` the boats come

:21:58.:22:09.

through. The canal and River trust has spent over ?150,000 on

:22:10.:22:19.

dredging. The project is part of a clean up collaboration between them,

:22:20.:22:24.

local residents and art groups in Manchester to raise awareness of the

:22:25.:22:26.

damage that fly`tipping into waterways does to the environment.

:22:27.:22:33.

We found more pace, one looked pretty new. Seven or eight

:22:34.:22:42.

bicycles, about 12 shopping trolleys, televisions, a French,

:22:43.:22:52.

dubious kitchen knives. It may be rubbish for some people but after

:22:53.:22:57.

being cleaned, artists have worked their magic on the rubbish. Some of

:22:58.:23:03.

the most fascinating objects of desire for the first ever at Drake

:23:04.:23:15.

exhibition. Onto a tale of tarmac. Residents in

:23:16.:23:18.

Bolton who have been divided by a bizarre repair job. The only covered

:23:19.:23:29.

half the road. It, half potholes. The company

:23:30.:23:43.

agreed to repair any damage. Residents say they have appeared to

:23:44.:23:46.

not have finished the job. If you look down the road, if a car is

:23:47.:23:56.

parked on the flat surface, you end up driving on the side that has all

:23:57.:24:01.

the potholes. It is ludicrous. It is a terrible place to be. You cannot

:24:02.:24:06.

drive your car down it without a few bumps. United utilities told us they

:24:07.:24:14.

had agreed to leave the road in as good a condition as they have found

:24:15.:24:18.

it and believe that is what they have done. They said the intended to

:24:19.:24:22.

tarmac the whole road but the council didn't think it was the best

:24:23.:24:23.

solution. The evidence do not agree. They say

:24:24.:24:38.

this is an ancient highway and has natural drainage. It has never been

:24:39.:24:43.

a great road but it never looked as bad as this. He says he simply wants

:24:44.:24:51.

the council at United Utilities to come back and finish the job.

:24:52.:25:02.

The lad on the scooter in joy at the site! Onto the weather.

:25:03.:25:12.

Things get better as the head through the next few days. Saturday

:25:13.:25:20.

looks like being the better day of the weekend. Sunday is largely dry

:25:21.:25:25.

but rain will return towards the end of Sunday. It has been a cloudy day

:25:26.:25:31.

but not much rain. One of the better days of the week. Through the night

:25:32.:25:38.

the cloud cover will stick with you. It should be a settled night.

:25:39.:25:46.

Temperatures stay between nine Celsius and 11 or 12 in the cities.

:25:47.:25:55.

Through the morning the cloud cover will start to finish. In the morning

:25:56.:26:06.

it is still fairly gloomy but as the morning goes on the cloud cover will

:26:07.:26:14.

break. You could get some sunshine towards the end of the day. The

:26:15.:26:25.

breeze is light. Temperatures will gradually creep back up, 14 and 17

:26:26.:26:34.

Celsius. Tomorrow will be a little bit better. Here is the weekend. Top

:26:35.:26:47.

temperature 18 Celsius. The wet weather returns from the West. How

:26:48.:26:56.

big is your television? About 50 inches.

:26:57.:27:07.

Thank you for watching. We're back at 10:30pm.
