:00:09. > :00:15.Three people have been arrested, after the body of a man was found

:00:16. > :00:19.A murder investigation was launched after the discovery in the early

:00:20. > :00:30.This tent marks the spot where the body of a man was found

:00:31. > :00:36.Dozens of police officers arrived at the park just after five

:00:37. > :00:46.Turo Road, Bridge Road and Edgecombe Road were

:00:47. > :00:50.Teams of specialist police have spent the day carrying out

:00:51. > :00:53.Including here, at nearby Cosgarne Hall, which

:00:54. > :01:02.The Major Crime Unit are currently at the scene and I've spoken to

:01:03. > :01:06.Detective Inspector Ben Beckerleg, who is part of that team, who has

:01:07. > :01:09.confirmed that a 24-year-old man, a 22-year-old man and a 21-year-old

:01:10. > :01:14.man have been arrested on suspicion of murder and are in custody.

:01:15. > :01:18.People living in the nearby block of flats say they're

:01:19. > :01:23.The lights woke me up, the flashing lights,

:01:24. > :01:29.So we didn't know what was going on until we heard it on the radio

:01:30. > :01:33.I thought St Austell was a pretty safe area,

:01:34. > :01:37.Last week as well, because there was a death up the road.

:01:38. > :01:41.I didn't think it was this rough, to be honest, but, yeah,

:01:42. > :01:44.I woke up and I was like, oh my God.

:01:45. > :01:55.Very few details about the man have been released.

:01:56. > :01:58.Police say a forensic postmortem examination is being carried out

:01:59. > :02:02.on his body to try to establish how he died.

:02:03. > :02:05.They say next of kin are being informed and then

:02:06. > :02:08.it is expected that the police will release the age and name

:02:09. > :02:23.The inquest into the death of a man in the Isles

:02:24. > :02:26.of Scilly has been halted, after new evidence came to light.

:02:27. > :02:28.23-year-old Josh Clayton went missing after a party in 2015.

:02:29. > :02:30.The coroner today halted proceedings, calling

:02:31. > :02:40.Josh Clayton's family turned up for day three of this inquest,

:02:41. > :02:44.not sure which direction it would take.

:02:45. > :02:46.Yesterday, Leroy Thomas, who worked as a painter and decorator

:02:47. > :02:49.on the Isle of Tresco, who had been at that party that

:02:50. > :02:52.Josh was last seen at, told the court that he saw Josh

:02:53. > :02:54.in an argument with a group of foreign men.

:02:55. > :02:56.Up until this point, Devon and Cornwall Police

:02:57. > :02:58.have treated the case as a missing-person enquiries.

:02:59. > :03:00.Josh's body was found ten days later, washed up

:03:01. > :03:12.A postmortem found no drugs in his system and alcohol

:03:13. > :03:16.times the driving limit, but cause of death could not be confirmed.

:03:17. > :03:18.The barrister representing the family said right

:03:19. > :03:21.from the outset they had voiced their concerns about

:03:22. > :03:24.We heard how a potentially key piece of evidence,

:03:25. > :03:26.a bloodstained shirt found on Josh's body, had not been retained

:03:27. > :03:29.Today the barrister called for the case to be

:03:30. > :03:32.referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions and said

:03:33. > :03:34.the family had no confidence in Devon and Cornwall Police

:03:35. > :03:35.to conduct an effective investigation.

:03:36. > :03:37.The barrister representing Devon and Cornwall Police said that

:03:38. > :03:41.everybody who attended the party that night had been spoken to,

:03:42. > :03:44.and nobody had mentioned this altercation involving Josh before.

:03:45. > :03:47.He said they'd also spoken to Mr Thomas on two previous

:03:48. > :03:51.occasions, and this new account would now need to be corroborated.

:03:52. > :03:54.The inquest has been adjourned and suspended

:03:55. > :04:05.The isolation faced by farming families dealing with dementia has

:04:06. > :04:09.been highlighted in a study by Plymouth University.

:04:10. > :04:11.Researchers say rural communities are disadvantaged when it comes

:04:12. > :04:15.to caring for people with the condition.

:04:16. > :04:17.They hope the study will lead to greater community help.

:04:18. > :04:25.Here's our environment correspondent, Adrian Campbell.

:04:26. > :04:28.Sitting around the dining-room table, this South Devon farming

:04:29. > :04:31.family are looking back to happy times.

:04:32. > :04:33.Eric Smerdon farmed near Rattery in South Devon

:04:34. > :04:37.and was a keen contributor to community life.

:04:38. > :04:39.His family recall him coming to see how construction

:04:40. > :04:45.was going when the village hall was built 20 years ago.

:04:46. > :04:51.Eric's family say that in his later years he struggled

:04:52. > :04:56.Regardless of the time of year he could always see snow outside,

:04:57. > :04:59.you know, he'd look out the window and he'd say that there's

:05:00. > :05:07.That appeared to be something, you know, which sort

:05:08. > :05:19.Eric didn't sleep well and I used to say, I think you need to get

:05:20. > :05:22.up and see the sheep, if they're lambing and things,

:05:23. > :05:27.and they weren't, but he would wake up in the night, thinking things

:05:28. > :05:38.Luckily I forget a lot of it and I'm glad I do.

:05:39. > :05:41.The study by Plymouth University highlights the risks in isolated

:05:42. > :05:42.places, with many dangers, including heavy machinery

:05:43. > :05:49.Relatives do most of the caring but others in the wider

:05:50. > :05:54.There are people who come to the farm regularly who can

:05:55. > :05:57.also help, actually, as part of that informal network

:05:58. > :06:01.of support, so people like vets, people like feed merchants,

:06:02. > :06:04.tanker drivers, who often come to the farm on a regular basis,

:06:05. > :06:07.can actually help to spot when things are not quite right,

:06:08. > :06:14.help to raise a concern with the key people who need to know.

:06:15. > :06:17.The study says families are reluctant to ask for support

:06:18. > :06:24.but all of us need to be aware of dementia and how to help.

:06:25. > :06:28.Well, I'm joined now by Ian Sheriff from the University of Plymouth,

:06:29. > :06:30.and chair of the Prime Minister's rural dementia group.

:06:31. > :06:32.Ian, we have heard about the problems there.

:06:33. > :06:41.The solution, and I think we were discussing this with Richard

:06:42. > :06:44.and Claire only the other day, that we've now got to sort

:06:45. > :06:47.of energise rural communities to get behind some of the isolation factors

:06:48. > :06:59.You know as well as I do some of these farms

:07:00. > :07:01.that we're talking about were deep in the heart of Dartmoor,

:07:02. > :07:04.I've had phone calls from around the country from hill

:07:05. > :07:06.farmers who have said, thank goodness you've got

:07:07. > :07:12.And one tragic sort of story I heard from one farmer was that

:07:13. > :07:15.because his wife had dementia he had nobody else around at the time

:07:16. > :07:19.so he had to take his wife in the tractor with him

:07:20. > :07:25.And we all know how dangerous or at risk you are on a farm

:07:26. > :07:28.environment, so a lot of things about risk as far as I was

:07:29. > :07:35.Traditionally farming has always been a family business.

:07:36. > :07:38.I suppose we've got fewer younger people going into farming.

:07:39. > :07:40.Having fewer younger people around, is that a problem for the older

:07:41. > :07:46.Well, I think what it means is that you haven't got anybody to hand down

:07:47. > :07:49.or help with some of the tasks around the farm, and you've only got

:07:50. > :07:51.to look at the paperwork that farmers have to complete,

:07:52. > :07:54.and if you think about if somebody's in the early stage of dementia,

:07:55. > :08:03.this can become very, very complicated, and I've heard

:08:04. > :08:05.stories from my colleague Joe Jones from Community Farming

:08:06. > :08:08.where they have gone in and helped the farm or the farmer

:08:09. > :08:13.So it isn't just a simple, you know, my goodness me, we must get some

:08:14. > :08:20.Because they're in a single, sometimes single-person

:08:21. > :08:22.environment business, if that person is in the early

:08:23. > :08:24.stages of dementia we've got some major problems on that farm.

:08:25. > :08:26.You've got the research, what happens now?

:08:27. > :08:37.I'm in the Prime Minister's group and our task is to find the issues

:08:38. > :08:48.We've got five dementia-friendly parishes on our border

:08:49. > :08:50.here and currently five parishes working together are

:08:51. > :08:52.supporting 64 families where a person has dementia.

:08:53. > :08:54.If I could energise every parish council in the country,

:08:55. > :08:57.and there's 700 parish councils in Devon and Cornwall, that's

:08:58. > :09:00.an army, and if they could just think about what they could do

:09:01. > :09:03.for their rural communities as far as dementia goes, we've cracked it.

:09:04. > :09:05.OK, Ian Sheriff, thank you very much for joining us.

:09:06. > :09:17.Time for the weather. Is it going to snow?

:09:18. > :09:22.Just a little bit. Most of us will see some rain, we could have sleep

:09:23. > :09:27.mixed in as well. Tomorrow, wet and windy. As the rain clears eastwards

:09:28. > :09:31.we could see it turning to snow on the back edge. Largely on the high

:09:32. > :09:36.ground but some flurries on lower ground. Will bring the rain, through

:09:37. > :09:40.the morning it will be wet and windy. As it clears eastwards we

:09:41. > :09:45.have much colder air behind so we could well see sleet and snow.

:09:46. > :09:51.Pretty wet from the word go, rain pushing and, fairly strong blustery

:09:52. > :09:58.winds. The focus on the snow parts of Dorset and Somerset, maybe --

:09:59. > :10:03.mainly over high areas. We could see one to wintry showers behind that.

:10:04. > :10:08.Tonight into Friday -- Thursday night into Friday we have the risk

:10:09. > :10:13.of wintry flurries and ice on the roads first thing on Friday. It will

:10:14. > :10:17.be a cold start on Friday, those westerly winds but more sunshine

:10:18. > :10:22.than tomorrow. Temperatures, we struggle, and towards the end of the

:10:23. > :10:26.day we could get showers feeding in from the Northwest so we could see

:10:27. > :10:29.another spell of sleet and over high ground will stop a lot of weather

:10:30. > :10:35.over the next few days, it is worthwhile keeping an eye on the

:10:36. > :10:39.forecast. Tomorrow we start off with rain but it could turn to sleet and

:10:40. > :10:43.snow on the back edge. Friday, much colder, but it turns that bit milder

:10:44. > :10:45.as we head towards the colder, but it turns that bit milder

:10:46. > :10:49.as we head towards the end of the weekend.

:10:50. > :10:53.The breakfast bulletins start at 6:25am but from the late team have a

:10:54. > :11:01.peaceful night. Goodbye. potentially leading us into a chilly

:11:02. > :11:02.start to the weekend. Time for the national weather prospects if you

:11:03. > :11:11.are on the move. Good evening, a lot going on with

:11:12. > :11:14.the weather in the next few days, numerous weather warnings in for so

:11:15. > :11:18.buried in mind if you have travel plans. Lots of isobars on the chart

:11:19. > :11:20.overnight which means it will be windy for all. The strongest winds

:11:21. > :11:24.in Scotland, lots of wintry showers with snow getting down to

:11:25. > :11:28.increasingly low levels and some wintry showers in Northern Ireland

:11:29. > :11:31.and northern England. A cold night for Northern England, particularly

:11:32. > :11:36.in more rural spots, frosty and I see for some and some of the snow

:11:37. > :11:38.really blowing around over higher ground in Scotland. Strong wind and

:11:39. > :11:42.further snow to take us into tomorrow. It may well make for some

:11:43. > :11:45.tricky travelling conditions. The forecast for tomorrow in the

:11:46. > :11:48.southern half of the UK's quite tricky. We have got mild air bumping

:11:49. > :11:49.into colder
