Living with the death of your child - a family's anguish after their | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
son accidentally hanged himself on his bedroom blinds. I wouldn't wish | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
this on anybody. It's very important that this doesn't happen | :00:26. | :00:34. | |
to another child and any parents and family don't feel the way we do. | :00:34. | :00:41. | |
Caden's family are calling for a ban on corded blinds. Also tonight: | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
Keeping body parts to help with investigations. The families being | :00:44. | :00:51. | |
told organs of loved ones were withheld by police. And on a | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
mission in her millimetrery, the teenager going that -- memory, the | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
teenager going that extra mile for his grandmother. Safety campaigners | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
call them the hidden hazard of millions of homes and a coroner | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
today warned parents of their dangers. A Devon toddler died when | :01:07. | :01:14. | |
be became entangled in the cord of the blinds in his bedroom. His | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
parents have begun a campaign to make blinds safer. Our copblt was | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
at the inquest in Plymouth. Caden Laine was found by his mother in | :01:26. | :01:33. | |
his bedroom, hanging from a cord that adjusted the blinds. He was 20 | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
months old. Nothing can describe it in words, it's the worst thing | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
that's ever happened to me and my family and Danielle's family. | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
Nothing will ever, ever come close. The British blind and shutter | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
association has made a video promoting safety. Without an | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
appropriate safety device fitted, operating cords represent a | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
strangulation hazard to young children. The European guidelines | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
say cords or chains should be out of children's reach or fitted with | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
a safety device to allow them to break in if a child becomes | :02:15. | :02:23. | |
entangled. But that is not mandatory. I wouldn't wish this on | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
anybody. So it's very important that this doesn't happen to another | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
small child and... Any parents and families don't feel the way we do. | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
It's just devastating. The royal society for the prevention of | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
accidents say on average they see two cases a year in Britain of | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
children being strangled in accident involving blinds. They | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
call blinds the hidden hazard of a home and want to see lops in chains | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
and cords -- loops in chains a cords phased out. The coroner said | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
he hoped the publicity would remind the parent of young children of the | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
need to be village last night. Blinds, he said, would continue to | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
present a danger, unless parents were aware of it. He also expressed | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
his condolences to the family. A verdict of accidental death was | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
recorded on Caden. His family provided these photographs with the | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
request I use this one to end my report. Michael Corley from The | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents spoke to us earlier about | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
health and safety issues surrounding window blinds. I asked | :03:33. | :03:40. | |
him what the likelihood was that corded blinds could be banned. | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
not sure how practical a measure that would be. I know at the moment | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
we are working with the Government and the industry to introduce and | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
to help introduce a new standard, either at the end of this year or | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
next. We are talking about corded blinds, the ones with a loop that | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
you pull. If another blind can do the job, why make these at all? | :04:02. | :04:10. | |
Well in fact manufacturers are taking steps to sort of phase | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
operating cord out and there are cordless blinds available. But | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
they're not so widely available and they are more expensive. Safety | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
video were made with regards to this particular blind. The warnings | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
were there. Freak accidents of course do Saturdayly happen. How | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
far can you go with warnings, or can you never go too far with them? | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
I don't know about that. But parents can take steps if they want | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
to ensure the safety of their child. One is they could remove any way of | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
the child getting to the window frame, either a chest of drawers or | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
a chair and they can fix something to the window frame to tie the | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
operating cord in a figure eight, high up and out of way. And also if | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
where possible just not install blinds in the child's bedroom. | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
Where people have the blinds, there must be h millions of them, what | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
are you saying to them? We know there are roughly 200 million | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
blinds already fitted in the U can. What people can do is look on to | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
the web-site and click on the campaigns button and there is a lot | :05:20. | :05:30. | |
:05:30. | :05:30. | ||
of practical advice to follow. Thank you. The Department of Health | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
has asked the NHS to look again at some homicides committed by mental | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
health patients to see if lessons can be learned. The report found | :05:39. | :05:49. | |
:05:49. | :05:51. | ||
Russell Deane was let down because the Trust failed to act on the case. | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
Today it's the turn of Devon Partnership NHS Trust to scrutinise | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
four deaths that happened while the perpetrators where known to their | :05:57. | :06:05. | |
services between 2006 and 2007. The first case concerns Russell Deane, | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
a 25-year-old man with paranoid schizophrenia who beat his | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
grandmother Phyliss Deane to death with a hammer in June 2007. He | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
responsibility and was detained indefinitely by the courts under a | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
hospital order. With regards to case two, Adam Thomas was suffering | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
from a psychopathic illness when he beat Sharon Stokes to death after | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
meeting her in a nightclub on Valentine's Day 2007. He was | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
convicted of murder. Michael Palmer in case three stabbed Victor Chalk | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
in a Torquay apartment. In July 2006 he was sentenced to life for | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
murder. And in the last case discussed, someone referred to in | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
the report only as Mr Z, killed Robert Newby near Okehampton and | :06:49. | :06:56. | |
was convicted of manslaughter in 2008. All the cases have already | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
been fully investigated by the NHS trust, and three have been through | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
the criminal justice system. Today's report is looking at | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
whether the care the patients received contributed to the | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
patients actions and subsequently their victims deaths. Chris Lyddon | :07:10. | :07:20. | |
:07:20. | :07:21. | ||
is in Taunton for us with more on today's findings. Yes, the report's | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
all around 200 pages or so long, conclude that three of the four | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
killings could not have been predicted, or prevented. But the | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
investigation's concluded one killing could have been prevented. | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
That was Russell Deane, the 25- year-old paranoid schizophrenic, | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
who beat his grandmother to death. The report says he was reluctant to | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
engage with treatment. He failed to take his medication. And used | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
illicit drugs. But it says if the trust has acted on the concerns of | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
his family and been more assertive in their care, the killing may not | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
have happened. I put this point to the trused. -- Trust. I would like | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
to extend our sympathys to all the families involved. We within the | :08:10. | :08:17. | |
trust, we're all held to account if the practice fails to meet the | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
standers that we consider are required. -- standards that we | :08:22. | :08:31. | |
consider are required. Well the report on the Russell Deane case | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
makes 14 recommendations. Improving record-keeping, improving diagnosis | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
and improving medication. And it in all four cases the investigation | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
found patients were all left vulnerable. Thank you. After the | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
loss of their loved ones, families of victims of crime in Somerset are | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
being contacted by police to say they've been buried without some of | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
their body parts. Organs and tissue were kept legally, but relatives | :08:57. | :09:06. | |
weren't told. Some were murder cases. John Ayres explains. They | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
did not have the right to take things without anybody's consent | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
whatsoever. Ann and Jane's brother Nigel died in 2003. The Just been | :09:18. | :09:26. | |
told that when their buried him, his brain was missing. I'm just | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
totally shocked. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know whether to | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
smash a window, smack her, I really didn't know. The force is now | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
investigating 100 deaths, looking at what tissue it has and talking | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
to the families. It said it understands this may be upsetting, | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
but Tish you -- tissue may be a critical factor in bringing an | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
offender to justice. And there is the rub for some experts. Victims | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
of crime may be able to help from beyond the grave. Take sudden | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
infant death. Retention of that material would allow us to | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
investigate any future theory of the cause by using the material. | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
Otherwise we have to wait on new cases coming and build up testing | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
of that theory. But keeping tissue and organs and not telling the | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
families is a difficult subject. A heart scandal at the British Royal | :10:23. | :10:31. | |
Infirmary was more than 15 years ago. Helen Ricard was the first to | :10:31. | :10:38. | |
find the truth. Families will be devastated to find they have buryed | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
a loved one with organs missing. Burying somebody is the last thing | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
you do for them and it affects your memories of them and to find | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
something like this years later is very traumatic. The neighbouring | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
Devon and Cornwall force is carrying out it own audit, saying | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
it is a complex process that will be completed in a timely fashion | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
and it is complying with the requirements of the human Tish yau | :11:06. | :11:13. | |
authority. -- issue authority. The South West has witnessed a solar | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
power gold rush in recent months, as renewable electricity producers | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
raced to meet the deadline for the most favourable feed-in tariffs. | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
But although those tariffs change in just a few days time, it seems | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
the solar revolution is far from over. Adrian Campbell reports. It | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
looks like a modern power plant in Spain. But this solar farm is | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
outside Plymouth. It has been built quickly to take advantage of the | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
Government's most favourable feed in tariffs, designed to kick start | :11:40. | :11:49. | |
the industry. The park betkpan produce deucing electricity -- | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
began producing electricity four weeks ago. There are eight other | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
fields similar to this one here. From the start of August, revased | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
tariffs come into force. Small scale producers can receive a | :12:04. | :12:12. | |
tariff of up to 43 pence per kill awatt hour. But new soler farms | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
will have eight and a half pence per kill awatt hour. That is a big | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
cut. At the Cornwall renewable energy show, there is optimism | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
about the economics of solar energy. Tfrpblgt price 069 panels has | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
dropped -- The price of the panels has dropped since Christmas by 25%. | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
What is Louering our installation cost and brings more people into | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
the market. Because they can now afford to install solar PV. Today | :12:44. | :12:52. | |
there was more good news. The Cornish-based charity np Northern | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
Plus said �20 million is being made available to community groups to | :12:57. | :13:04. | |

Lyme Regis to celebrate 150 years Looks like they are having a good | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
time! After 80 years, Plymouth airport has seen its last scheduled | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
passenger flights today. For the next six weeks, passengers can | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
still check in at Plymouth, but they'll be bussed to Newquay to | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
board their plane. Plymouth Airport is due to close altogether in | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
December. Tomorrow evening our business correspondent Neil | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
Gallacher will be asking what's next for this site - and for the | :13:38. | :13:45. | |
city it's served. That's tomorrow A man at the heart of the Olympic | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
Games in Athens has given a frank assessment of the benefits he | :13:48. | :13:55. | |
believes Dorset will gain from staging the sailing events in 2012. | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
According to Spyros Capralos, now the president of the Greek Olympic | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
Committee, long-term benefits will depend on how people make use of | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
the experience. Weymouth and Portland Borough Council are | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
confident that the work it has done mean it that there will be a | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
lasting legacy. Here's the second of my special reports from Athens | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
as we pass the one year to go mark. The Olympics in Athens were never | :14:19. | :14:26. | |
intended to give grassroots a boost, but this hit the spot. What about | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
sport more generally? Do think it has inspired people to get more | :14:30. | :14:39. | |
active? Yes, especially in football. When we won in 2004, basketball, | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
football, everything. Britain has staked its name on 2012 increasing | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
the number of people taking up sport, especially youngsters. I am | :14:50. | :14:56. | |
following a club in Dorset to see if any legacy arrives. But I am | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
also examining the cultural legacy, too. Inspiring the next generation | :15:01. | :15:10. | |
in the arts is on the UK Games wish-list. Going to an open-air | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
theatre on a hillside there is also on offer. So are there more people | :15:17. | :15:24. | |
in the audience here because of what happened in 2004? I believe | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
that Greek people always like theatre. That is a now trawl -- | :15:29. | :15:36. | |

:15:58. | :15:58. | ||
impression, but turned lift control treasure, it is very important. -- | :15:58. | :16:05. | |
cultural treasure. What is your advice to Dorset? I am not to -- | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
and not the most familiar person with Dorset. People should not | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
expect but the Olympic Games are going to change their lives. It is | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
a fantastic moment in your life, but the 20 days of the Olympics | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
finish very quickly. afterwards? After, it depends on | :16:25. | :16:31. | |
who has taken advantage of this passage of the Olympic Games, that | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
will benefit mostly. There are some people who will not benefit at all. | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
Some will have it as a very nice memory in their lives. But some | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
others will manage to develop business thanks to the Olympics. | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
Thousands of years on, the country where the games were born is still | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
learning to get the most out of them. | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
Greece has its mind firmly fixed on financial survival at the moment. | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
There are bigger issues to consider than whether the legacy of the 2004 | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
Games has been delivered. But even the most positive account I have | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
heard her comes with some degree of regret, lessons for our part of the | :17:09. | :17:15. | |
world as the Olympics fast The Cornish coast is rugged and | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
beautiful, and one teenager from the county knows pretty well every | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
nook and cranny. John Turner has spent the past three weeks walking | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
the coastal footpath in memory of his granny who died of cancer. The | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
18-year-old started at Hartland Point, and well over 300 miles | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
later, finished at Cremyll a few hours ago. John Henderson has the | :17:33. | :17:43. | |

My name is John Turner. I and 18, and for the past three weeks, I | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
have been hiking around Cornwall, and it has been absolutely | :17:48. | :17:55. | |
fantastic. And on a day like today, you can see why. I think this is | :17:55. | :18:02. | |
where I live, and I am very pleased. Today was the last of a three-week | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
hike which has generally been perfect. | :18:05. | :18:12. | |
You have gone the wrong way! John, who has just done his A-levels, has | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
seen the best of Cornwall and its people. | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
Things like meeting people, making friends, and people's generosity, | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
raising money. That was really amazing. | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
The Devonport High School for Boys people has slept in a hammock at | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
night, Eton army rations and endured some scary moments. | :18:33. | :18:43. | |
I didn't spend too long here. I went and camped right across the | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
estuary. But he has done it. He has raised money for charity after his | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
granny died of cancer. I wanted to see if I could rely on | :18:53. | :19:02. | |
myself, just sold a -- just for three weeks, and achieve something | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
at the same time. Hold your applause! Come down, | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
people. Just after half past three, he made it. His mum, Kate, was | :19:12. | :19:20. | |
there to see him. Brilliant. He has done superbly. His granny would be | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
proud, as well! We applaud him. The rescues and the memories. 150 years | :19:24. | :19:27. | |

a tug-of-war between the crew of the lifeboats and the RAF. Both | :20:01. | :20:07. | |

close by. Over the last 150 years, it has this -- deployed at over | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
1,500 times, saved 310 lives. Today, lifeboatmen old and new received | :20:41. | :20:49. | |
recognition of that service from the are LN9 -- the RNLI's director | :20:49. | :20:57. | |
of services. It is an aggregate of 150 years, they started longer ago. | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
But there was a period when the station was closed as we went | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
through a transition from the old- style pulling boats to the more | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
modern inshore lifeboats. And what for the future? For two of the crew | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
who joined on the 17th birthdays, it is fantastic. It is a really | :21:16. | :21:23. | |
good feeling. As soon as the pager goes off, it is a rush of adrenalin. | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
To start with, it is all a bluff. It just happens. But after the | :21:28. | :21:34. | |
first few times, it is really good. And for water users, the lifeboat | :21:34. | :21:41. | |
is very important. Funny, it is. We are living on a boat for the next | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
week, so the lifeboats are incredibly important. I come from | :21:47. | :21:54. | |
Sussex. The lifeboat is the centre of the community here. With the new | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
lifeboat due shortly, the RNLI is looking forward to the next 150 | :22:00. | :22:09. | |
We are joined now by Graham, the operations manager here at Lyme | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
Regis. What a week it has been. has been an amazing week. We have | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
had the Red Arrows, the RAF Falcons. And we have had the helicopter | :22:20. | :22:27. | |
display team from the Royal Navy, as well. And why is the lifeboat so | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
important to the heart of Lyme Regis? The lifeboat is an integral | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
part of the community. It is only a small town, but in the wintertime | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
it blows up to a massive 30,000, and all those people want to go | :22:41. | :22:48. | |
boating. We are here to get people out of trouble if it goes wrong. | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
Could marking the 150 years anniversary, there are people who | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
have come back who served 40 or 50 years. As an operations manager, it | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
has been a great honour to meet people past and present, some quite | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
senior guys who served during the war, when the maritime craft rescue | :23:09. | :23:17. | |
unit were here. Fate has been amazing. I think you some good up. | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
You said, once a lifeboat man, always a lifeboat man. Yes, and we | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
will always invite the senior guys back, whenever they want to, come | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
to the station, have a cup of tea. Thank you. | :23:30. | :23:38. | |
We did mention earlier that the Calcutta Cup is also happening. The | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
boat that took it was called Penny, and she was from Portland. The | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
celebrations have quietened down a little bit, but they are continuing | :23:47. | :23:54. | |
until Sunday. Hopefully David has some good news on the whether | :23:54. | :24:04. | |
:24:04. | :24:11. | ||
There is a little bit of a fly in the ointment, a band of cloud that | :24:11. | :24:18. | |
comes in tonight, and could give us a few showers. We will get some | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
sunshine tomorrow, but perhaps not as nice as today. An area of high | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
pressure is coming our way for the weekend, but trapped within it is | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
this trouble somewhere the front. It will be slow to move, and it may | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
well act as a focus for a few showers during the course of the | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
afternoon. Once we lose that, the area of high pressure settles in | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
for the weekend. Don't worry too much about these weather fronts, | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
they weren't really get to our shores until probably late on | :24:49. | :24:55. | |
Sunday. So, this was the picture from earlier on today. We have had | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
some cloud come and go. First of all, let's go to St Agnes, where | :25:00. | :25:06. | |
our cameraman, Tony, was out enjoying some beautiful weather. | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
And then to the Rockwell dam area, where there was some people | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
enjoying some more find weather, too. Plenty of water coming down | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
the river, and it looks like it is set fair as we move through the | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
next two days. No real appreciable rain in the forecast, which | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
includes the rain ahead. Some of this Clyde will thicken overnight | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
tonight. -- some of this cloud. A little of everything overnight | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
tonight, but the one thing we are fairly confident of is a fairly | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
warm night. Overnight temperatures no lower than 13 or 14 Celsius for | :25:44. | :25:51. | |
most of us. Tomorrow we should have some sunshine, but also quite a lot | :25:51. | :26:00. | |
of cloud around. One or two showers, fairly isolated but mostly confined | :26:00. | :26:08. | |
to the eastern edge of Devon and up into Somerset. A very light wind, | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
variable at first, almost calm inland, then a gentle onshore sea | :26:12. | :26:20. | |
breeze will develop as we moved into the afternoon. Temperatures 22, | :26:21. | :26:29. | |
possibly 23 Celsius as a maximum figure. For the Isles of Scilly, | :26:29. | :26:39. | |
:26:39. | :26:41. | ||
fine and dry. At times of high Not much for our surface, perhaps | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
as much as three feet, and clean on the north coast, and the south | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
coast will be very flat tomorrow. There is the coastal waters | :26:50. | :27:00. | |
:27:00. | :27:05. | ||
Here is the forecast all the way through and including the start of | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
next week. It is generally dry, that is the first thing to say. | :27:10. | :27:20. | |
Also, some spells and sunshine -- some spells of sunshine on Saturday. | :27:20. | :27:24. |
