Hello, I'm Anjana Gadgil with the news in the South.

:00:07.:00:08.

Four men were jailed today for a total of more than 20 years

:00:09.:00:11.

as part of the ongoing investigation into the murder

:00:12.:00:13.

Michael Freshwater was found stabbed to death at a flat

:00:14.:00:17.

No one has ever been charged with his murder,

:00:18.:00:22.

The men who were sentenced today were members of a drugs gang

:00:23.:00:31.

who were working together to supply heroin and cocaine to

:00:32.:00:33.

22-year-old Tristan Pope and 23-year-old in Kevin Suika

:00:34.:00:39.

played leading roles, coming down from London

:00:40.:00:41.

to Southampton to deal drugs for nearly a year.

:00:42.:00:44.

Also involved was Dantai Thompson, who was only 17 at the time.

:00:45.:00:48.

Two other men from Southampton, Daniel Sadler and Daniel Ferrett,

:00:49.:00:51.

you can see them here outside court, they're both heroin addicts,

:00:52.:00:55.

Today, four of the five men were jailed, with Sadler given

:00:56.:01:00.

And how does this link to the murder?

:01:01.:01:04.

The body of Michael Freshwater was found at a flat in Westridge Road.

:01:05.:01:08.

Police came to realise the property was at the centre of this highly

:01:09.:01:12.

During their investigation, three men were arrested on suspicion

:01:13.:01:17.

Hampshire Police wanted to press ahead with charges,

:01:18.:01:23.

but the Crown Prosecution Service decided no further

:01:24.:01:25.

Since then, the investigation has floundered.

:01:26.:01:30.

There is still a ?10,000 reward offered by Crimestoppers for any

:01:31.:01:33.

evidence leading to a conviction, but so far no-one has actually been

:01:34.:01:36.

brought to trial for the murder of Michael Freshwater.

:01:37.:01:39.

The inquest into Michael's death is due to open in March.

:01:40.:01:45.

He was a father of four and today in court his partner

:01:46.:01:48.

spoke of her great loss, saying she misses Michael every day.

:01:49.:01:55.

Britain's first official spaceman, Tim Peake, touched down in his home

:01:56.:01:58.

city of Chichester today to meet pupils from his old schools

:01:59.:02:02.

and to see an exhibition in which he was the star!

:02:03.:02:05.

Major Tim has been back on Earth for longer

:02:06.:02:08.

than the six months he spent on the International Space

:02:09.:02:10.

Station and his fans were desperate to see him.

:02:11.:02:12.

It was an out of this world day for dozens of schoolchildren -

:02:13.:02:20.

the day Tim Peake touched down where his life journey began.

:02:21.:02:24.

Thank you very much, and it's fantastic to be back

:02:25.:02:29.

Nationally, more than a million schoolchildren were involved

:02:30.:02:34.

in projects as part of the six-month mission.

:02:35.:02:36.

Today, 60 children from Tim's former primary and senior

:02:37.:02:39.

schools had the chance to question him in person.

:02:40.:02:43.

How has, like, being in space and seeing the Earth from space

:02:44.:02:47.

changed your perspective of the planet and life?

:02:48.:02:50.

There are so many places I feel like I know very well.

:02:51.:02:53.

I've never set foot in those countries or those areas,

:02:54.:02:56.

and maybe never will set foot in them, but I do feel

:02:57.:02:59.

Every day I would look out and photograph them and see them.

:03:00.:03:04.

Tim toured a special exhibition at the city's Novium Museum,

:03:05.:03:07.

It was a bit surreal, actually, coming in and kind

:03:08.:03:12.

of seeing your own life history there on a board in front of you.

:03:13.:03:15.

Strange seeing sort of half your life on display here?

:03:16.:03:18.

It is quite strange, as well as seeing some artefacts

:03:19.:03:20.

here as well that I actually had with me in space, clothing

:03:21.:03:23.

It's seven months since Tim landed, and although he has visited

:03:24.:03:28.

Britain from America, where he lives and works,

:03:29.:03:30.

until today he had not returned to Chichester,

:03:31.:03:33.

which last month prompted some local children to produce a video

:03:34.:03:36.

We and several thousand kids want you to visit.

:03:37.:03:40.

Some people were frustrated You couldn't get back

:03:41.:03:47.

What would you say to them about that?

:03:48.:03:50.

The post-flight period is exceptionally busy.

:03:51.:03:52.

The most important thing for us is the scientific data,

:03:53.:03:55.

that's why we have the space station programme primarily,

:03:56.:03:58.

so we have to capture all of that scientific data.

:03:59.:04:01.

Secondly, being based over in Houston, of course,

:04:02.:04:02.

makes it difficult to get back to the UK.

:04:03.:04:05.

So everything just takes its time during that post-flight period.

:04:06.:04:09.

During his space trip, Tim appeared on South Today,

:04:10.:04:12.

and revealed one of the things he missed most was the rain.

:04:13.:04:16.

The feeling of nice, cold drizzle on my face right now

:04:17.:04:19.

You've been back a few months now, back in England, have

:04:20.:04:24.

I still do and always have loved the outdoors,

:04:25.:04:28.

and so any weather, to be outside, camping, hiking, walking, cycling,

:04:29.:04:31.

So for me, being on board the space station, that was one

:04:32.:04:36.

of the most difficult things, was just getting used to that

:04:37.:04:39.

Today, Tim was invited to receive the Freedom of the City.

:04:40.:04:44.

He hopes to return later this year and there are plans for a special

:04:45.:04:47.

Farmers in Sussex have launched a campaign warning dog owners

:04:48.:04:54.

that their pets can be shot if they attack sheep.

:04:55.:04:57.

Last Sunday, a dog was shot in front of its owners because they couldn't

:04:58.:05:00.

stop it worrying a flock of sheep on a farm near Chichester.

:05:01.:05:03.

The owners hadn't realised the animals were nearby

:05:04.:05:06.

when they let their pet off the lead.

:05:07.:05:08.

The Farmers Union has warned that sheep attacks are on the increase,

:05:09.:05:11.

with around 130 incidents in Sussex every year.

:05:12.:05:15.

We've got a very urban population nearby to some rural areas.

:05:16.:05:20.

We've got a lot of livestock in the area and there's probably

:05:21.:05:24.

The dog was probably playing with the sheep, but unfortunately,

:05:25.:05:29.

that act is causing a massive panic throughout the sheep and the dog

:05:30.:05:32.

was seen to be biting them and it was causing huge problems.

:05:33.:05:37.

A 900-year-old skeleton found in Hampshire has revealed important

:05:38.:05:41.

Researchers say the remains of the man, thought to be

:05:42.:05:45.

a religious pilgrim, were excavated at a burial

:05:46.:05:47.

Scientific detective work suggests he caught the highly-contagious skin

:05:48.:05:52.

disease on his travels to a shrine in Spain and brought it

:05:53.:05:55.

They are stunning images that capture the beauty and diversity

:05:56.:06:01.

An exhibition of the best wildlife photographs from the past

:06:02.:06:07.

year has gone on show at the Moors Valley

:06:08.:06:09.

It includes an award-winning picture called Kung Fu Puffin ,

:06:10.:06:16.

taken by 18-year-old Becky Bunce from Berkshire.

:06:17.:06:25.

That is all from the new steam this evening. We are back tomorrow at

:06:26.:06:32.

5:20 p.m.. Is it going to get any warmer?

:06:33.:06:36.

Yes, slightly milder over the next few days and temperatures tonight

:06:37.:06:39.

will be very similar to what they were during the day today. Hill fog

:06:40.:06:44.

and outbreaks of rain during the night, the region mainly light and

:06:45.:06:47.

patchy in the early hours. The pictures will follow way to between

:06:48.:06:51.

three and eight Celsius. We start off tomorrow on a damp note. It is

:06:52.:06:56.

slowly improving picture, with the rain clearing most places and we

:06:57.:07:01.

will start to see Sunny spells in the afternoon. It may take a while

:07:02.:07:05.

the further north and east you after the sun to arrive. Temperatures

:07:06.:07:09.

tomorrow will reach a height of between seven and nine Celsius.

:07:10.:07:12.

Through tomorrow night and into Sunday morning we will see a band of

:07:13.:07:16.

rain working its way from the Atlantic, with a brisk

:07:17.:07:19.

south-westerly winds costs on the coast of up to 40 miles an hour.

:07:20.:07:23.

Looking ahead to the rest of the weekend, a decent afternoon

:07:24.:07:27.

tomorrow, but rain on Sunday and further rain is expected on

:07:28.:07:30.
