:00:08.:00:10.

fourth arrest following the discovery of a charred body in an

:00:10.:00:16.

industrial bin in the city yesterday. Tests are still being

:00:16.:00:23.

carried out to determine whether the victim was a man or a woman.

:00:23.:00:27.

Police have been busy all day at the Empress Road industrial estate

:00:27.:00:34.

where the body was discovered Sunday morning. Officers used a

:00:34.:00:38.

hoist to get an aerial perspective. The body was discovered in a waste

:00:38.:00:44.

bin by a fire crews that had come to distinguish a blaze in Maybin.

:00:44.:00:48.

People have been arrested on suspicion of murder and the police

:00:48.:00:52.

announced a 31 year-old man has been arrested. They are from

:00:52.:00:57.

Southampton. Attention switched to this residential area near the

:00:57.:01:04.

industrial estate. They now believe the victim was moulded and taken to

the Industrial Estate, possibly in a wheelie bin. -- murdered.

Anyone who saw a we've been being pushed near a vehicle on Saturday-

They have not yet established the identity or gender of the victim.

:01:28.:01:30.

Sussex Police say they're deeply concerned for the safety of two

:01:30.:01:35.

Nigerian teenage girls who've gone missing. Both are 15 years old and

:01:35.:01:38.

went missing in Worthing on Good Friday afternoon saying they were

going to church. They had recently arrived in the country, travelling

run by volunteers. It is a Victorian peer that has stayed as

it was in Victorian times. No extra buildings have been put on the Pier,

:02:22.:02:27.

no funfairs, no cinemas and theatres. In the nineties, a

million-pound grant refurbished the decking bet another three-quarters

Swanage peer is the best in the UK and doesn't go in the way of its

predecessor. Traders in Weymouth are claiming that the closure of a

:03:17.:03:21.

bridge in the centre of the town is causing serious harm to their

:03:21.:03:23.

Easter business. Essential repair work is being carried out on the

:03:23.:03:26.

Town Bridge but the traders were expecting it to be temporarily re-

:03:26.:03:36.

opened over the Bank Holiday. Times are tough for many seaside

:03:36.:03:40.

resorts so Easter is important to bring in money. The bridge in

restaurant. The work has to be carried out but traders thought it

:04:07.:04:11.

would temporarily open for Easter. The County Council has changed his

mind. It has devastated our business because we have had a

party would be better for it to remain closed rather than open up

:04:38.:04:43.

for a short Easter period and have to close it again. Bus companies

:04:43.:04:48.

have changed their roots and wouldn't change them back for the

:04:48.:04:54.

Easter period. Vehicles can still get around but it is a diversion.

Southampton have increased their lead at the top of the table. Both

:05:01.:05:05.

goals at Crystal Palace are credited to Ricky Lambert. He has

now hit 87 goals during his career at Saints. Southampton now have

just five games to go before the end of the season and likely

:05:14.:05:17.

Wycombe were firmly defeated by Chesterfield - the score 4-0. But

better news for MK Dons. They beat Tranmere 3-0. In League Two, an

unsettling day for Crawley Town who lost both their manager Steve Evans

:05:23.:05:26.

and assistant manager Paul Raynor. Evans, who had managed Crawley

since 2007 is moving to Rotherham. But they still managed an away win
