Hello and welcome to South Today,
I'm Anjana Gadgil. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
Tonight's top stories: Sussex Police
say it's "tragically unfortunate" | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
they didn't catch this man before
he beat someone to death over money | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
And since when did a soft drink
become synonymous with Christmas? | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
Not everyone in Bournemouth
is feeling the festive fizz. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:24 | |
Business is booming in Southampton
but what's the cost for the | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
environment. And since when did a
soft drink become synonymous with | 0:00:27 | 0:00:33 | |
Christmas. Not everyone is feeling
it. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
Could Sussex Police have stopped
a violent drunk from murdering a man | 0:00:41 | 0:00:46 | |
in a row over £40? | 0:00:46 | 0:00:47 | |
Duncan Hearsey was jailed for 21
years for beating Alan Creasey | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
to death in Lancing last year. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:51 | |
But it's emerged that not only had
Mr Creasey called 999 | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
worried for his safety -
but a pub and a kebab shop had also | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
dialled 999 that night because of
Hearsey's aggressive behaviour. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:03 | |
Sussex Police is reviewing
its handling of the case and said | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
it's "tragically unfortunate"
they failed to catch him. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
Piers Hopkirk reports. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
Holding his jeans splattered
in blood from the brutal | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
assault on his victim,
CCTV shows Duncan Hearsey walking | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
around his neighbourhood
in Shoreham, at one point | 0:01:19 | 0:01:27 | |
shadow-boxing in the street. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:28 | |
Minutes before, he had
attacked Alan Creasey, | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
kicking him to death
after apparently demanding £40 | 0:01:30 | 0:01:31 | |
for a gardening job. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:36 | |
It's emerged police had received
a series of calls that evening | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
from two pubs and a kebab shop
reporting Hearsey's hostility. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:45 | |
On the night of the fatal
attack on Alan Creasey, | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
police were called on three separate
occasions by people concerned over | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
Duncan Hearsey's behaviour. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:55 | |
Then, at 8:15pm, Creasey
himself called police | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
after an altercation with Hearsey. | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
Police attended, but left at 8:30pm
to pursue leads, advising | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
Mr Creasey to lock his doors. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
They returned to Mr Creasey's
home at 9:10pm to find | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
him seriously injured. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
CCTV shows how Hearsey had returned
to Mr Creasey's home | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
after the police had left,
and kicked him to death. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
Sussex Police is now
carrying out an internal | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
investigation into what happened,
and to examine whether | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
lessons can be learned. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
We do need to investigate the matter
to see if the police | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
have erred in any way,
and as you've mentioned, | 0:02:29 | 0:02:37 | |
it is a local investigation
so they will be looking to see | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
whether we did everything
we could and everything | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
reasonable at the time. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:43 | |
Mr Creasey's neighbours
described him as a troubled man. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
He has been a nuisance
to the neighbourhood in general. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
Everywhere he went,
he created chaos. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
He wasn't a quiet man,
he was a man looking | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
for a fight all the time. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:57 | |
I can't see the police
have got any blame. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
They were trying to do their job. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
They were looking for Duncan. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
They did tell Alan
to lock the doors. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
But Duncan got back in. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
Sad. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
David Simmons is a councillor
in Shoreham and a retired policeman. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
The nature of the call,
the gravity of the call, | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
if that was seen as a high priority,
and it clearly was, they will look | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
at a time it took police to respond,
and whether the police could have | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
done anything more effectively
to prevent this crime | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
in the first place. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
Hearsey was jailed for
21 years for murder. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:32 | |
Detectives described it
as tragically unfortunate | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
that he wasn't arrested sooner. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:38 | |
The force's professional
standards department | 0:03:38 | 0:03:39 | |
will make its own judgment. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:40 | |
Piers Hopkirk, BBC South Today. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:45 | |
Sangita Lal has been
looking into this story | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
and joins me now in the studio. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:49 | |
Sangita, why are Sussex
Police carrying out | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
their own investigation? | 0:03:51 | 0:03:59 | |
If prior contact has been made
between a victim and the police then | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
a referral to the Independent Police
Complaints Commission is mandatory. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:07 | |
The IPCC have looked into this case
and they don't believe it warrants a | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
full investigation so they have
reverted back to Sussex Police's | 0:04:11 | 0:04:16 | |
professional standards department
and ask them to carry out their own | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
investigation into what happened. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:20 | |
And what will the
investigation entail? | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
They'll examine the force's response
to events on that day before coming | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
back with conclusions -
they'll be looking to see | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
if anything could or should have
been done differently | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
and whether any lessons can
be learned following | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
what happened here back in May. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:32 | |
The jury has been discharged
in the trial of an Army sergeant | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
who was accused of trying
to murder his wife after it | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
failing to reach a verdict. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:39 | |
Emile Cilliers was accused
of tampering with his wife | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
Victoria's parachute -
charges which he denied. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
The court had been
sitting for seven weeks. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
The Crown Prosecution Service says
it will seek a retrial. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
Ships are pouring out "filthy
pollution" across Southampton | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
and the Solent according
to a leading Professor. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
The warning came during a Commons
hearing on air quality today. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
Professor Stephen Holgate told MPs
there are currently "no solutions" | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
in place to the problem. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:05 | |
Earlier this year the World Health
Organisation called Southampton one | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
of the most polluted cities
in the UK. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
Lewis Coombes is live
from Southampton Port this evening. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:20 | |
Big business, isn't it? Cruise ships
and container ships are to love | 0:05:20 | 0:05:29 | |
Southampton's biggest businesses and
both are expanding. Last year there | 0:05:29 | 0:05:34 | |
were nearly nine times as many
passengers compared to 20 years ago | 0:05:34 | 0:05:38 | |
and 85% of them either left that
ended their cruises you in | 0:05:38 | 0:05:42 | |
Southampton but it comes at a cost. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
When a cruise ship or
container ship docks here - | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
they leave their engines running,
burning heavy fuel oil, | 0:05:46 | 0:05:49 | |
which is more polluting
than the petrol in our cars, | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
in particular it emits
harmful sulphur. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:52 | |
And today a highly respected
Professor from Southampton | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
University told MPs
that's a problem. | 0:05:54 | 0:06:02 | |
Massive great ships are pouring out
filthy smoke, blowing over the | 0:06:02 | 0:06:06 | |
Solent over the city with the most
toxic pollution. Our big problem is | 0:06:06 | 0:06:11 | |
shipping and we have got no
solution. We need to make sure that | 0:06:11 | 0:06:15 | |
the local authorities take it
sufficiently seriously to encourage | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
the good health of its populace. How
is the situation going to be | 0:06:18 | 0:06:22 | |
improved? The government has set
Southampton targets to clean a third | 0:06:22 | 0:06:29 | |
by 2020. The council says it will
meet with local businesses and tried | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
to come with this clean their
strategy before the end of the year. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:36 | |
Their own Air Quality Review found
that the port accounts for nearly | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
a quarter of Air Pollution
in the city, so that's defintiely | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
an area to focus on. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:42 | |
The cruise industry will soon
build its first ships powered | 0:06:42 | 0:06:46 | |
by cleaner liquefied natural gas,
but they're still a few | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
years away and so far
only two are on order. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
Another option is to charge the ship
from shore when it's docked - | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
literally plugging it in -
but there isn't the infrastructure | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
here - as it stands if you took
the power needed for a cruise ship | 0:06:56 | 0:07:01 | |
from the national grid the lights
in Southampton would all go out. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:09 | |
That's not a great plan. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:10 | |
ABP who own the port have told us
in the past this is something | 0:07:10 | 0:07:14 | |
they're going to look at. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:15 | |
P&O cruises told us it is preparing
a new study into its Environmental | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
performance, which it
will publish before Christmas. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
Since when did a soft drink become
synonymous with Christmas? | 0:07:24 | 0:07:26 | |
Every winter Coca-Cola's Santa truck
rolls into town but this year, | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
not everyone has been sharing
the festive fizz. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
The coke team were in Bournemouth
today handing out cans, | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
but, alongside them,
was another group handing | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
out toothbrushes. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:36 | |
Steve Humphrey was there too. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
It is a festive road show
promoting a soft drink. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:50 | |
Those arriving for some fizz
and photos were greeted | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
by campaigners with toothbrushes,
urging people to consider | 0:07:53 | 0:07:54 | |
the impact on their dental
health and waistlines. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:59 | |
She doesn't have
them, it is only me. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
We don't drink a lot of it
ourselves, we agree. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:06 | |
Special occasions. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:07 | |
You have chosen
the zero sugar option. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:11 | |
I would never give full sugar Coke. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:17 | |
The sustainable food partnership
says the message is clear. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
A lot more people are aware of
the impact of what you eat and drink | 0:08:20 | 0:08:24 | |
on your health and well-being. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:25 | |
No one from Coca-Cola
was available for interview. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:29 | |
The company said in a statement this
road show is pre-Christmas fun | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
and it points out only small cans
of drink are being given away | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
and two of the three drinks
choices are sugar free. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:41 | |
We have a policy not
to market our products to under | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
12s and will not be providing
drinks to under trials | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
unless their parent or guardian
is happy for us to do so. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:54 | |
In a twist, Bournemouth council
which backs the sustainable food | 0:08:54 | 0:09:02 | |
city partnership told campaigners
they couldn't give out toothbrushes | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
as Coca-Cola had booked
the space for its event. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
We are not actively being aggressive
to Coca-Cola or anyone else, | 0:09:07 | 0:09:12 | |
it is to get a message out there. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
It is disappointing. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
The council says the Coca-Cola truck
is very popular but it | 0:09:17 | 0:09:19 | |
says through sports,
recreation and well-being services, | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
it is encouraging everyone
to maintain a balanced healthy | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
lifestyle over the
Christmas holidays. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:28 | |
And of course other fizzy drinks are
available to drink over the festive | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
period. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:43 | |
That's all from the South Today
news team this evening. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:47 | |
The weekend is looking very chilly
but before that we have some rain. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:56 | |
It is moving northwards across the
region and behind that some fog | 0:09:56 | 0:10:00 | |
patches may develop. Not everyone
will see the rain with northernmost | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
areas as keeping the rain. The
temperature here are falling to 3-4 | 0:10:03 | 0:10:09 | |
and a low of 6-7. There may be some
rain first thing and a lot of cloud | 0:10:09 | 0:10:15 | |
but a few showers dotted along the
south coast and for the Isle of | 0:10:15 | 0:10:19 | |
Wight but an improving picture so by
the afternoon many places will have | 0:10:19 | 0:10:23 | |
lots of sunshine and the temperature
reaching a high of 7-11 saw a cooler | 0:10:23 | 0:10:29 | |
day than today, today we saw a high
of 13 Celsius. With clearing skies | 0:10:29 | 0:10:36 | |
the odd isolated when today show
around a bit of hail and sleet and | 0:10:36 | 0:10:40 | |
maybe a snow shower so don't be
surprised if there is a dusting of | 0:10:40 | 0:10:45 | |
snow. Elsewhere, it will fall as
rain but under the clearing skies we | 0:10:45 | 0:10:49 | |
are expecting a widespread frost
first thing. The winds on Saturday | 0:10:49 | 0:10:54 | |
coming in from the north-west
feeling bitterly cold a high of just | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
6-7. A cloudy start and brightening
up. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:02 |
