Today's main headlines in the South East: | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Closure at last for family of a Kent woman murdered 20 years ago - | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
after her body is found in a Welsh reservoir. | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
which is what she deserves more than anything. | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
Another migrant camp doubles in size 40 miles from Calais - | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
where charities have been ordered not to give out food. | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
And it's been a lovely day with highs of 17 degrees, but it will be | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
cooler tomorrow. Police confirmed today that human | :00:35. | :00:43. | |
remains found in a Welsh reservoir ARE those of a Kent woman | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
who disappeared 20 years ago. Sandie Bowen was originally | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
from Folkestone - and her daughter who lives in Cheriton says | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
the family now has closure at last. Sandie's husband was found guilty | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
of her murder and jailed - but Michael Bowen never revealed | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
what he'd done with her body. Sandie's daughter Anita Giles | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
says she believes he should still be in jail. | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
Sara Smith reports. A mix of wanting to know | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
what happened to her mum and a tiny fraction of hope | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
that without a body, she might not be gone | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
after all. Obviously I never knew what had | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
happened, only what had been surmised by the court case that | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
the probability was that she was murdered, she was | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
dumped, disposed of, never knowing where, | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
and that is Her mother Sandie | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
was running a B in Folkestone who was working on the channel | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
tunnel construction. His third wife, she went back | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
to live with him in Wales, but in a jealous | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
rage she killed her. He was convicted of her | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
murder a year later and then jailed, but would not | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
say where her body was. Last month, remains were found | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
at a reservoir in Wales. Now, DNA tests have confirmed | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
they were Sandie's. Now her daughter | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
is planning a private ceremony to finally say | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
goodbye to her mother. She will bring her ashes home | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
to be scattered in Kent. Normal people lose somebody, | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
they're able to bury It never goes away, and | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
you never get over losing somebody so close to you, but to have that | :02:31. | :02:39. | |
constantly... all the time, in the | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
forefront of your mind. Not a day goes by when I didn't | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
think about my mum. Michael Bowen was released | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
on licence two years ago. His victim's daughter says | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
he should have had to give up his dark secret before | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
that was allowed to happen. Sara Smith is live in Cheriton - | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
and Sara, Sandie Bowen's daughter is supporting a campaign | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
for a change in the law... Yes, a campaign called Helen's law | :03:06. | :03:19. | |
which was set up by the famine of Helen McCall from Merseyside who was | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
murdered nearly 30 years ago and her body has never been found. The | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
killer wouldn't say where it was, even after as in this case it was | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
found guilty of murdering and sent to prison. The new law would mean | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
that killers couldn't get parole if they refused to say where the | :03:36. | :03:43. | |
victims are. MPs voted of this in favour in the autumn but it needs a | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
second reading before passed into law. | :03:47. | :03:47. | |
The government has in the last few hours released dozens of pages | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
of correspondence with Surrey council in the ongoing row | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
about an alleged 'sweetheart deal' over plans to raise council tax | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
by 15%. It suggests that a late night | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
conversation between a Surrey MP and a Government Minister may have | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
been instrumental in calling off the referendum. | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
The Prime Minister and the Council Leader David Hodge have both | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
repeatedly denied any special deal was agreed. | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
Our political editor is here with us. Why has the government on | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
Both it and Surrey seem to have a loss of freedom of implications | :04:19. | :04:28. | |
requested. We want to get it all out there. You think that we have | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
learned this evening are that the Treasury and the Department of | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
Health were both approached for Esh cash for Surrey but no joy. There | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
was also letters that seemed to back up the idea of frantic last-minute | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
no negotiations, so the day before, began to budget setting, the letter | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
from the government says to Surrey that it gets that it cannot take any | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
further a scheme that sorry seems to have pinned its Oberon, making it | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
the first Council of its type to call its business rates with the | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
following morning, though, there is a text message sent by Surrey offers | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
to a government official, talking about an unnamed Surrey MP having | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
had a phone call late last night with Sajid Javid, the Minister. In | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
the text seems to indicate that governments are willing to in get | :05:13. | :05:22. | |
funding from 20 team. A shredded as an 18. The government has said that | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
what Surrey was told was that it can apply next year for the scheme when | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
all other councils like it can do, so that is a special deal. Remember | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
that secret recording, though, that earlier in the week? Earlier, the | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
David Hodge Surrey leader said that he would go for a referendum again | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
next year if agreement went on it. now, if the government were to deny | :05:41. | :06:09. | |
Surrey's accusation this year, it was difficult to see how they could | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
do that without causing an even bigger row than they have had this | :06:13. | :06:13. | |
time round. The jury in the trial of a man | :06:14. | :06:14. | |
accused of murdering his ex girlfriend at her home in Portslade | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
have been played a recorded telephone conversation | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
between the two, in which he told Shana Grice and Michael Lane | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
were talking after Lane had taken a key from her home, | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
let himself into her house and gone into her bedroom | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
while she was asleep. Shana was found dead at her home | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
just over a month later. The largest 20mph zone | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
in Kent will be launched in Tunbridge Wells tomorrow | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
to tackle the problem of speeding. The controversial speed limits have | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
already been introduced in other parts of the South East, | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
including Brighton and Ashford. But one council in the North | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
of England is reviewing its scheme after a study suggested the average | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
speed of drivers had only gone down Now, while police maintain | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
a zero tolerance approach to migrants in Calais, | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
another camp is developing 40 miles It's doubled in size in recent | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
months, and has become a magnet for people trying get to Kent | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
via the Channel. 120 migrants are now | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
being turned away Peter Whittlesea has sent this | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
report from the town of Steenvord. On the edge of the motorway this | :07:18. | :07:25. | |
wood is home to around 100 migrants. The camp has been closed twice | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
in the last six months, but when the police leave the many | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
migrants return. The land owner said the French | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
authorities are failing to act. TRANSLATION: I can no | :07:34. | :07:45. | |
longer use the wood, I can't let my children | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
there, I bought land in the countryside so my children could | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
The authorities do what they can but the migrants come in | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
One local charity in says since the Calais Jungle has | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
closed, the number of migrants in area has doubled, and with no | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
official hostels, migrants camp where they can. | :08:07. | :08:28. | |
The increased security and the mayor of Calais's | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
decision to stop charities issuing food, it is to encourage people from | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
staying away Calais but doesn't address the problem that migrants | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
Outside of these zones in the city, we can distribute food but as | :08:38. | :08:49. | |
numbers increase it will become visible, and that is will | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
happen when that critical mass appear back in Calais. | :08:52. | :08:59. | |
Where are we going to feed those people? | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
But back in Britain there is zero tolerance | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
to migrants living in Calais, backed by Dover MP. | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
They need to make sure that the Jungle | :09:14. | :09:15. | |
doesn't reform but that they stop these migrants | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
getting into Calais before they missed the opportunity to get | :09:20. | :09:21. | |
120 migrants are being arrested in Calais each day, | :09:22. | :09:32. | |
charities call for a solution, is not to move it | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
Now it's been a very spring like day, | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
but it's not going to last, is it, Nina? | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
Unfortunately not, we saw 17 degrees in a couple of places today with all | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
of that lovely sunshine around, but tomorrow it will increase the cloud | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
and temperatures will come down. After a taste of spring today it is | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
all change for tomorrow. We will hold out a little bit of hope for | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
Saturday, a return of some of the brighter signs. Through tonight, | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
starting off with clear spells, cloud thickening up, and we see | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
Misty and murky conditions around Sussex coasts. Temperature is in the | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
countryside around 4 degrees, but for most starting at around 5-6. | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
Some early brightness across parts of east Kent, further west to seeing | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
increasing amounts of cloud, cloud bringing with it patchy light rain | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
and drizzle, throughout an afternoon. Sunshine across east Kent | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
could see highs of 13-14 degrees, but with cloudy skies across the | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
afternoon most of us will be pegged at 9-10. A slow start to Saturday, | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
with cloud still around but during the afternoon holes in the cloud | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
brighten up nicely, with some sunny spells developing. Winds from the | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
south as well, lifting temperatures widely, 13-14 degrees, a fee places | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
might just match that 16-17. Things change against terror with Weathers | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
and cloud outbreaks of rain, temperatures back down again on | :11:01. | :11:01. | |
Sunday. The day. On Sunday, cloudier, maybe | :11:02. | :11:03. | |
spots of rain. Good evening, in the spring sunshine | :11:04. | :11:16. | |
we saw temperatures as high as 17.5 Celsius. Not as warm or Sonning on | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
Friday. Still a lot of dry, settled weather in the forecast for the next | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
few days. This was the sunset captured by one of our Weather | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
Watchers. Clear skies there. We have had increasing amounts of cloud | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
moving in from the West. Through the remainder of tonight we will | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
continue to see that cloud across the south-west of England, the | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
Channel Isles, weaving in across Wales, Northern Ireland and western | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
Scotland. Bringing with it some outbreaks of drizzly rain, | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
particularly around the coast and the hills. Further east, clear skies | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
and the coldest temperatures. We are likely to see frost across eastern | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
parts of Scotland by Friday morning. The west of Scotland will see the | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
cloud moving in, bringing spots of light, drizzly rain. A similar | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
picture for Northern Ireland. | :11:59. | :11:59. |
