Her husband David was questioned by officers, who believed he had

deliberately killed her, by driving over her.

He told them that they had argued, but that her death

Mr Turtle has now been placed under what's called judicial

This means the prosecutor thinks there are serious

grounds to suspect murder, but a magistrate will now

investigate and decide whether or not he'll stand trial.

In the meantime, Mr Turtle must report regularly

What more do we know about the Turtles?

Well, David was a councillor in Bournemouth for around a year

until the couple moved to France last Summer.

He represented the Kinson area of the town.

Stephanie worked for Dorset County Council.

But seeking a new life, the couple bought a property

Three police cars have been damaged in a high-speed chase on the M27.

They played Coventry City, and once more they went home disappointed.

Jeremy Stern spent the day with them.

Oxford United arrived at Wembley in high spirits

and they were strong favourites, about 30,000 supporters from Oxford

have come to Wembley hoping for a different outcome to last year

when they lost to Barnsley in the final.

But it was pretty much the same, a disappointing defeat.

Coventry took an early lead through Gael Bigirimana

and in the 55th minute George Thomas's superb

Oxford had their chances and improved towards the end

of the match, Liam Sercombe scoring late on.

Well, it is the fourth time we have been, third time I have seen them

And the weather, Holly Green is here with your forecast.

We have got some more sunshine to come for this week

but we also have a bit of rain in the forecast as well.

Through tonight it is dry, clear skies overhead.

Light winds and the risk of some mist and fog forming.

good spells of sunshine, just a bit of fair weather

Temperatures reaching 15, maybe 16 degrees.

We do have spells of rain on Monday night and perhaps

for a time on Tuesday, becoming drier and brighter

That is the latest, thank you for being there this evening. From the

weekend team, good have a very good night. Goodbye.

Some lovely spring sunshine on offer. Highs of 12 degrees. In

London you can enjoy the lovely spring blossom on the trees. Highs
