:00:14. > :00:16.A doctor has admitted that the life of a Kent mother-of-three might

:00:17. > :00:19.well have been saved, if he had read her medical notes properly.

:00:20. > :00:20.The admission sparked emotional scenes at the inquest

:00:21. > :00:23.into the death of Sian Hollands, who was 25 when she died

:00:24. > :00:25.at the Darent Valley Hospital in Dartford.

:00:26. > :00:28.She suffered a pulmonary embolism just hours after doctors had decided

:00:29. > :00:36.This afternoon, her family ran from the inquest

:00:37. > :00:37.in Gravesend in tears, after hearing evidence

:00:38. > :00:40.from Dr Kamran Khan, who had previously claimed he had not

:00:41. > :00:42.had access to her notes. Peter Whittlesea has the details.

:00:43. > :00:45.For Sian Hollands' family, the inquest inot her death

:00:46. > :00:48.is all about uncovering the truth. Today, what was described in court

:00:49. > :00:49.as significant new evidence highlighted why doctors failed

:00:50. > :00:51.to diagnose the pulmonary embolism that killed her.

:00:52. > :00:55.If they had just looked at the notes and treated her as a human being,

:00:56. > :00:57.my sister would still be here. That is extremely hard.

:00:58. > :01:01.When you heard that in court, you could not cope and had to leave.

:01:02. > :01:02.I did, yeah. I did leave.

:01:03. > :01:08.I did, yeah. I did leave.

:01:09. > :01:13.Do you feel that you have finally heard the truth?

:01:26. > :01:26.difficulty breathing and was experiencing chest pains,

:01:27. > :01:29.which led to a wrong diagnosis. Today, those records were found and,

:01:30. > :01:33.on the reverse side, were the handwritten notes by Dr

:01:34. > :01:40.Kamran Khan, one of the medics who had treated Sian.

:01:41. > :02:15.It led to a dramatic courtroom exchange...

:02:16. > :02:17.In court, the hospital trust expressed their deepest

:02:18. > :02:22.Her mother said these were empty words.

:02:23. > :02:25.If they had turned that page or looked at that page,

:02:26. > :02:27.things would have been so different. We would not be standing

:02:33. > :02:34.The inquest has now been adjourned until April 10,

:02:48. > :02:48.which contain dangerously high levels of lead

:02:49. > :02:50.and other toxic substances. Trading Standards says

:02:51. > :02:52.it is a deeply-concerning trend in the South East,

:02:53. > :03:01.which is endangering people's health and short-changing the economy.

:03:02. > :03:03.A parliamentary aide to a Kent MP has appeared

:03:29. > :03:31.aircraft came down into the water shortly after take-off

:03:50. > :03:52.were tied up and tortured in their home in Halstead,

:03:53. > :03:54.near Sevenoaks, last April. Both suffered life changing injuries

:03:55. > :03:58.as a result of the attack, carried out by Daniel

:04:03. > :04:03.in intensive care. As Piers Hopkirk reports,

:04:04. > :04:06.they say it has left them physically and mentally scarred,

:04:07. > :04:08.feeling their lives have been destroyed.

:04:09. > :04:10.Daniel Wallace and Kacey Adams. Violent criminals, with track

:04:11. > :04:12.records in aggravated burglary. Their sustained two-hour

:04:13. > :04:14.attack on retired couple, John and Janis Buswell,

:04:15. > :04:20.so shocking it received nationwide media coverage.

:04:21. > :04:24.This type of crime is incredibly rare.

:04:25. > :04:27.It left seasoned detectives shocked by the level of violence used

:04:28. > :04:30.in the committing of this offence. 26 April, 2016 is a day

:04:31. > :04:33.that our victims live with daily. They were sat at their home address,

:04:34. > :04:35.enjoying their evening together, when these persons forced their way

:04:36. > :04:39.into the address and used what can only be described as a barbaric

:04:40. > :04:41.level of violence against them. They were bound, beaten and had

:04:42. > :04:43.boiling water poured over their heads and bodies,

:04:44. > :04:45.while trying to steal money from these poor people.

:04:46. > :04:47.It happened at the couple's home in Halstead.

:04:48. > :04:49.It was a crime of such unprovoked violence,

:04:50. > :04:51.it stunned people in this quiet village community.

:04:52. > :04:54.I think we were all horrified when we heard about it,

:04:55. > :04:56.because in a way, it could have happened to anyone.

:04:57. > :04:59.Why it happened to them, I don't know, but you fear

:05:00. > :05:10.for those people who live in fairly isolated places.

:05:11. > :05:13.I do know the family. Yeah, it's pretty terrible what they

:05:14. > :05:17.did, especially to his wife. I'd throw away the key.

:05:18. > :05:22.So, they should get punished badly, yeah.

:05:23. > :05:25.The court heard that Adams and Wallace had tortured the couple

:05:26. > :05:29.After a prolonged period of threats and violence, they got them,

:05:30. > :05:31.leaving their home with more than ?40,000 in cash.

:05:32. > :05:34.Mrs Buswell's injuries were so severe, she later fell into a coma.

:05:35. > :05:56.In a victim impact statement read to the court, she said:

:05:57. > :06:12.The two guilty men will be sentenced here at 2pm on Monday.

:06:13. > :06:24.They can expect very lengthy prison terms.

:06:25. > :06:26.That is it from me. The national weather forecast

:06:27. > :06:28.in a moment, but first, we can get the picture

:06:29. > :06:36.in the South East, with Rachel Mackley.

:06:37. > :06:45.Good evening. After a war into the week, it is a bit fresher. Some

:07:07. > :07:11.on Saturday. The chance of a shower during the day, particularly in the

:07:12. > :07:17.morning. Some of these could be quite heavy. By the afternoon,

:07:18. > :07:25.temperatures getting up to 12 Celsius along the coast, inland a

:07:26. > :07:31.couple of degrees better. Saturday into Sunday, clear and dry. Some

:07:32. > :07:36.mist and fog. In rural areas, temperatures dropping

:07:37. > :07:43.Hello. There the weekend is here and Sunday looks like being the better

:07:44. > :07:47.day of the two. We're going to start the weekend, a new month, with

:07:48. > :07:51.sunshine and April showers. Those fade away overnight. Saturday night

:07:52. > :07:54.could be chilly. It points to a fine day on Sunday. This picture was

:07:55. > :07:57.taken by a weather watcher to end the day in Dundee. This one is
