It's being claimed tonight that a man who's thought to have died

:00:08.:00:12.

in an explosion in Oxford had a history of mental illness and had

:00:13.:00:16.

Human remains were found at the site yesterday.

:00:17.:00:21.

The as-yet-unexplained blast caused a block of flats to collapse

:00:22.:00:23.

in the Osney area of the city, and 40 homes were evacuated.

:00:24.:00:26.

Sifting through the rubble, this grim, painstaking job may

:00:27.:00:35.

reveal what caused the explosion that police believe killed this man

:00:36.:00:38.

- 48-year-old Guido Schuette, a tenant in one of the flats.

:00:39.:00:44.

The City Councillor for this part of Oxford said he had a background

:00:45.:00:47.

of mental health issues and contact with authorities.

:00:48.:00:51.

The police are very well aware of the person who it

:00:52.:00:54.

seems has been killed, of the threats that he was making

:00:55.:00:56.

before this, and of his medical history and so on.

:00:57.:00:59.

So a lot of questions will need to be asked.

:01:00.:01:02.

Thames Valley Police haven't responded to us today

:01:03.:01:04.

Their crime scene investigators and detectives are likely to be

:01:05.:01:09.

working behind these screens for some time.

:01:10.:01:13.

And as the clean-up and demolition gets underway,

:01:14.:01:15.

the housing association, which owns this site, is assessing

:01:16.:01:17.

Three flats were destroyed, and it's likely another five

:01:18.:01:24.

It is A2 Dominion that own these flats.

:01:25.:01:29.

And it's their job to look after their tenants.

:01:30.:01:31.

They must quickly try and see what stock they have available,

:01:32.:01:35.

and I hope that they can find something that will

:01:36.:01:37.

And it could be a permanent move, or it could perhaps be temporary.

:01:38.:01:42.

And if they do rebuild these flats and people want to come back

:01:43.:01:45.

to where they've always lived, then I hope they'll be able

:01:46.:01:48.

A2 Dominion is meeting residents tomorrow to discuss

:01:49.:01:51.

Those I spoke to today say this devastating blast has left

:01:52.:01:57.

many very traumatised, but keen to move on.

:01:58.:02:01.

James Ingham, BBC South Today, Oxford.

:02:02.:02:06.

There were emotional scenes at Heathrow Airport this weekend

:02:07.:02:08.

as the body of a Chichester man who died in Syria arrived home.

:02:09.:02:11.

Kurdish mourners turned out to pay tribute to Ryan Lock,

:02:12.:02:14.

who had travelled to Syria to fight against the so-called Islamic State.

:02:15.:02:18.

He died in a battle in December while fighting with the Kurdish

:02:19.:02:21.

It is believed he killed himself to avoid capture.

:02:22.:02:25.

Our correspondent Emma Vardy was at the scene of Ryan's homecoming.

:02:26.:02:28.

You can see her exclusive report on tomorrow's South Today.

:02:29.:02:33.

An elderly cyclist has died after colliding

:02:34.:02:35.

It's believed the 79-year-old suffered a serious head injury

:02:36.:02:40.

when he hit a parked car in the Cranmer Road car park.

:02:41.:02:42.

He was airlifted to hospital, but has died of his injuries

:02:43.:02:47.

A woman has been charged with drink driving after her car crashed

:02:48.:02:50.

into the River Medina in Newport on the Isle of Wight.

:02:51.:02:53.

Lucy Wilton, from Northcliff Gardens, Shanklin, had to be rescued

:02:54.:02:56.

from her Vauxhall Corsa car in the early hours

:02:57.:02:58.

She is due to appear before island magistrates on March the 7th.

:02:59.:03:06.

The family of a Poole teenager who died of leukaemia last year

:03:07.:03:09.

are launching a song to raise money in his memory.

:03:10.:03:13.

Vinnie Appleby was just 18 when he died.

:03:14.:03:20.

# And I know Heaven needed an Angel #.

:03:21.:03:28.

This song, called One Day At A Time, was written to be

:03:29.:03:30.

Vinnie's family have now decided to release it to raise money

:03:31.:03:34.

for the Teenage Cancer Trust and cancer units for young adults

:03:35.:03:37.

He wasn't the person you'd find at the front or anything.

:03:38.:03:40.

He'd always be in the background, making things happen.

:03:41.:03:43.

But the nice thing is, since losing Vinnie,

:03:44.:03:44.

all his friends, people we don't even know, have come up to us

:03:45.:03:48.

and told us how he's affected their lives.

:03:49.:03:49.

We wanted to raise as much money as we possibly could.

:03:50.:03:52.

We set ourselves a target of ?50,000 to the Teenage Cancer Trust.

:03:53.:03:55.

This song is all about the troubles that you go through,

:03:56.:03:58.

and how one day at a time really is how you have to live life.

:03:59.:04:09.

And we wish them all the best of luck.

:04:10.:04:12.

Let's get the weather with Bee Tucker.

:04:13.:04:13.

The cloud is already thickening up out there.

:04:14.:04:17.

We have some fairly poor visibilities out there.

:04:18.:04:18.

We can see a bit of light rain and drizzle, too.

:04:19.:04:22.

Temperature-wise, incredibly mild - down at just 8-9 .

:04:23.:04:24.

That sets us up for quite a grey, misty start of the day tomorrow.

:04:25.:04:28.

Like the past few mornings, it could take its time to brighten up.

:04:29.:04:31.

We will see the westerly winds pick up, though.

:04:32.:04:33.

That could punch a few holes in the cloud.

:04:34.:04:35.

The odd spot of drizzle, but mostly dry.

:04:36.:04:37.

Where we do get some breaks, particularly into the afternoon,

:04:38.:04:39.

It does stay mild, certainly for the first part of this week,

:04:40.:04:44.

but it does turn windier as we head towards next weekend.

:04:45.:04:47.

Our next updates are in BBC Breakfast.

:04:48.:04:53.

Good evening. It has felt more like spring and winter this weekend. We

:04:54.:05:16.

had 14 Celsius in North Yorkshire today, purely down to the wind

:05:17.:05:21.

direction. The south-westerly will continue to bring in mild there on

:05:22.:05:23.
