Today's main headlines in the South East:

:00:00.:00:00.

ASLEF train drivers reject the latest deal over driver only

:00:07.:00:09.

We'll be live in Seaford with the latest.

:00:10.:00:18.

The moment two ruthless criminals were arrested for pouring boiling

:00:19.:00:22.

Stalked by a killer - the woman who says she wishes she'd

:00:23.:00:29.

gone to the police when Michael Lane harassed her, before

:00:30.:00:32.

I got messages saying, I can see you. I would look and see him

:00:33.:00:45.

outside my house. ASLEF train drivers have voted

:00:46.:00:52.

to reject the latest deal to end their long-running industrial

:00:53.:00:56.

action over driver only Today's ballot result will be

:00:57.:01:00.

seen as an embarrassment to union leaders -

:01:01.:01:04.

who'd recommended members It was a close result -

:01:05.:01:06.

but just over 50% said no. Now the management at Southern

:01:07.:01:13.

are seeking fresh talks with the union but it s not clear

:01:14.:01:16.

when, or if, they will take place. Meanwhile, the RMT union,

:01:17.:01:19.

which represents conductors, continue with their separate

:01:20.:01:22.

industrial action. Instead, the train drivers have

:01:23.:01:43.

rebelled against their own union leaders, plunging commuters back

:01:44.:01:47.

into uncertainty. They are not caring about the public. There are

:01:48.:01:51.

messing us around. It's about time they got back to work. It's about

:01:52.:01:57.

time they got back together and obviously they are trying but I am

:01:58.:01:59.

confused about why it is not possible. Is there something going

:02:00.:02:04.

on here and the suggestions have been made, but these are not about

:02:05.:02:11.

the issues at stake but a political campaign about the ownership of the

:02:12.:02:14.

railway and this is not the right way to proceed those issues. The

:02:15.:02:18.

central issue of the dispute has always been southern's plans to

:02:19.:02:23.

change the role of guards the on-board supervisors, giving drivers

:02:24.:02:25.

responsibility for operating the doors. Southern argue they will

:02:26.:02:30.

always aim to keep a second 50 person on board apart from in

:02:31.:02:33.

exceptional circumstances. The two exceptional circumstances. The two

:02:34.:02:36.

deals have focused on what those circumstances might be. The latest

:02:37.:02:41.

deal reduced that list of acceptable reasons for running a train with

:02:42.:02:45.

only the driver on board, lateness is no longer one of them. They also

:02:46.:02:49.

agreed to roll out improved CCTV cameras a year earlier and on-board

:02:50.:02:54.

supervisors were set to receive extra safety training. But the union

:02:55.:02:57.

whose own separate dispute continues argued this was basically the same

:02:58.:03:03.

deal in any envelope. This referendum result today proves that

:03:04.:03:11.

there is genuine concern among Aslef members and the executive are out of

:03:12.:03:18.

touch with reality persistently trying to renegotiate something

:03:19.:03:20.

which is unacceptable to their members. But aside said they are

:03:21.:03:23.

prepared to sit down together for new talks.

:03:24.:03:26.

Our reporter Leanne Rinne is in Seaford for us now, Leanne,

:03:27.:03:28.

You will remember in February when the last deal was rejected, it took

:03:29.:03:41.

three weeks for Southern Andrey Rublev to reach anyone but the night

:03:42.:03:45.

but sides have said they want to get back on the table and they want to

:03:46.:03:50.

hold new talks as soon as possible. Tomorrow the RMT union and Southern

:03:51.:03:54.

will be holding separate talks and the RMT are still planning to strike

:03:55.:03:56.

this Saturday which will coincide with the Brighton Marathon but here

:03:57.:04:01.

the night, people are particularly annoyed about the whole situation

:04:02.:04:05.

does you will remember earlier on during the strike action, there were

:04:06.:04:09.

not even any bus replacement services running from the station,

:04:10.:04:13.

completely cutting people off. The night passengers have told me a

:04:14.:04:15.

resolution cannot come soon enough. Two men who tortured

:04:16.:04:17.

a couple in their own home, pouring boiling water over them,

:04:18.:04:19.

have been given life sentences. Kacey Adams and Daniel Wallace

:04:20.:04:22.

were described by the judge They stole almost ?50,000

:04:23.:04:24.

from John and Janice Buswell They then were arrested after flying

:04:25.:04:30.

to Dubai to spend the money. Arrested while still

:04:31.:04:40.

on the plane on their way back from Dubai, Kacey Adams

:04:41.:04:49.

:04:57.:04:59.

as ruthless animals prepared to use extreme violence started

joins me now, Sara, He said these men had left alive

devastated because of their greed and their desire for money. They had

:06:34.:06:38.

not shown a whisper of remorse. They were arrested on their way home from

:06:39.:06:40.

Dubai where they had been spending Dubai where they had been spending

:06:41.:06:44.

the money. They were found with ?18,000 worth of designer clothes

:06:45.:06:50.

with them. We heard in court that the couple will never recover from

:06:51.:06:54.

what happened to them, physically or mentally, but the hope is the life

:06:55.:06:57.

sentences may at least give them some comfort.

:06:58.:06:59.

A woman who says she was stalked by Portslade murderer Michael Lane

:07:00.:07:01.

has told this programme she regrets not telling the police

:07:02.:07:05.

as she believes it would have prevented him from going on to kill

:07:06.:07:08.

Now 21, Ellie May, from Mile Oak, says she started to receive

:07:09.:07:13.

inappropriate contact from Lane when she was still a schoolgirl.

:07:14.:07:17.

Our Special Correspondent Colin Campbell has this exclusive report.

:07:18.:07:22.

You ain't going to believe me but it is up to you.

:07:23.:07:26.

A dangerous and obsessive man, Michael Lane murdered

:07:27.:07:29.

Shana Grice in August last year after a terrifying campaign of

:07:30.:07:32.

But it seems Shana wasn't the only women Lane had

:07:33.:07:36.

There were points where I didn't want to leave my

:07:37.:07:40.

house because he lived so close to me and I did get messages saying,

:07:41.:07:44.

"I can see you," you know, and I would

:07:45.:07:46.

look at the window and I could see him parked outside my house.

:07:47.:07:49.

And he would send me pictures of my own

:07:50.:07:51.

Ellie says Michael Lane first started to harass her

:07:52.:07:54.

when she was a ten-year-old Girl Guide.

:07:55.:07:57.

When she was a teenager, she says he sent her sexually explicit

:07:58.:08:00.

It just said if I pay for a night in a hotel and then I give

:08:01.:08:05.

you some money, will you let me do what I want to you?

:08:06.:08:09.

In unsettling, unsolicited text messages, Lane

:08:10.:08:13.

He also told her she was gorgeous and that

:08:14.:08:18.

her boyfriend was lucky to wake up next to her in the morning.

:08:19.:08:23.

He is serving a life sentence for killing

:08:24.:08:25.

Shana, he stalked her for a year, even attaching a tracking

:08:26.:08:28.

She had reported him to the police on five

:08:29.:08:32.

During one complaint, Sussex Police issued Shana with a

:08:33.:08:36.

fixed penalty notice for wasting police time.

:08:37.:08:40.

The judge's comments were very clear, I think, for the

:08:41.:08:42.

court to hear that there may well be systemic failings within Sussex

:08:43.:08:45.

Ellie regrets not telling the police what she knew about Lane.

:08:46.:08:50.

I wish I had because I possibly could have stopped what happened.

:08:51.:08:55.

Many, many homicides, if you track back, will follow

:08:56.:08:59.

So don't brush it off, take it seriously

:09:00.:09:04.

because it could be something a lot more sinister

:09:05.:09:06.

Another target of Michael Lane's, Ellie, says she came forward to

:09:07.:09:11.

urge other stalking victims to contact the police,

:09:12.:09:15.

Hastings Pier has been voted Pier of the Year

:09:16.:09:26.

The Victorian structure was hit by a devastating fire in 2010

:09:27.:09:30.

but it re-opened last year following a ?14.2 million

:09:31.:09:33.

The weather is next. It was a beautiful day today with

:09:34.:09:48.

highs of 18 degrees. Still not mist and fork alongside the long post. As

:09:49.:09:54.

we go through the first part of this evening, we will see this cloud that

:09:55.:09:57.

has been mostly out of the west of us today and eventually the early

:09:58.:10:01.

hours of tomorrow morning, we will rain moving in from the west which

:10:02.:10:06.

will turn heavy at times. Overnight temperatures dropped to around six

:10:07.:10:10.

or 7 degrees. Still quite misty along the coast as we start Tuesday.

:10:11.:10:15.

Eventually we will see the effects of high pressure but for us

:10:16.:10:20.

tomorrow, it is a wet and disappointing day. The rain during

:10:21.:10:24.

the morning is heavy at times. During mostly by the afternoon but

:10:25.:10:27.

still leaving a lot of cloud cover around and temperatures down on the

:10:28.:10:31.

day, ranging between 11 and 13 degrees. Tuesday and into Wednesday,

:10:32.:10:37.

we will see the effects of that high pressure eventually clear skies and

:10:38.:10:42.

with lighter winds, against the mist and fog around with temperatures

:10:43.:10:46.

slightly cooler at around three or 4 degrees. A chilly start from any on

:10:47.:10:51.

Wednesday. Misty and buggy first thing but lots of brightness by the

:10:52.:10:54.

afternoon. A similar debut Thursday as well. For Friday and as we look

:10:55.:10:59.

towards the weekend, temperatures creeping up to 18 or 19 degrees.

:11:00.:11:01.

Here's the outlook for is remaining settled. It will feel

:11:02.:11:03.

fairly warm and dry as well. Good evening. Some rain spreading in

:11:04.:11:15.

across the Atlantic overnight. As it does so we will see some fresh

:11:16.:11:19.

Atlantic air following on from behind. The pollen levels will drop

:11:20.:11:26.

but the temperatures will also drop. Some rain to go with the cloud. It

:11:27.:11:31.

is moving its way from west to east. Drying up in not an island and

:11:32.:11:35.

eventually it will dry up in most of

:11:36.:11:36.
