Three people have been arrested, after the body of a man was found | :00:09. | :00:15. | |
A murder investigation was launched after the discovery in the early | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
This tent marks the spot where the body of a man was found | :00:20. | :00:30. | |
Dozens of police officers arrived at the park just after five | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
Turo Road, Bridge Road and Edgecombe Road were | :00:37. | :00:46. | |
Teams of specialist police have spent the day carrying out | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
Including here, at nearby Cosgarne Hall, which | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
The Major Crime Unit are currently at the scene and I've spoken to | :00:54. | :01:02. | |
Detective Inspector Ben Beckerleg, who is part of that team, who has | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
confirmed that a 24-year-old man, a 22-year-old man and a 21-year-old | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
man have been arrested on suspicion of murder and are in custody. | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
People living in the nearby block of flats say they're | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
The lights woke me up, the flashing lights, | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
So we didn't know what was going on until we heard it on the radio | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
I thought St Austell was a pretty safe area, | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
Last week as well, because there was a death up the road. | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
I didn't think it was this rough, to be honest, but, yeah, | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
I woke up and I was like, oh my God. | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
Very few details about the man have been released. | :01:45. | :01:55. | |
Police say a forensic postmortem examination is being carried out | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
on his body to try to establish how he died. | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
They say next of kin are being informed and then | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
it is expected that the police will release the age and name | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
The inquest into the death of a man in the Isles | :02:09. | :02:23. | |
of Scilly has been halted, after new evidence came to light. | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
23-year-old Josh Clayton went missing after a party in 2015. | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
The coroner today halted proceedings, calling | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
Josh Clayton's family turned up for day three of this inquest, | :02:31. | :02:40. | |
not sure which direction it would take. | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
Yesterday, Leroy Thomas, who worked as a painter and decorator | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
on the Isle of Tresco, who had been at that party that | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
Josh was last seen at, told the court that he saw Josh | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
in an argument with a group of foreign men. | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
Up until this point, Devon and Cornwall Police | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
have treated the case as a missing-person enquiries. | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
Josh's body was found ten days later, washed up | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
A postmortem found no drugs in his system and alcohol | :03:01. | :03:12. | |
times the driving limit, but cause of death could not be confirmed. | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
The barrister representing the family said right | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
from the outset they had voiced their concerns about | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
We heard how a potentially key piece of evidence, | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
a bloodstained shirt found on Josh's body, had not been retained | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
Today the barrister called for the case to be | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions and said | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
the family had no confidence in Devon and Cornwall Police | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
to conduct an effective investigation. | :03:35. | :03:35. | |
The barrister representing Devon and Cornwall Police said that | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
everybody who attended the party that night had been spoken to, | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
and nobody had mentioned this altercation involving Josh before. | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
He said they'd also spoken to Mr Thomas on two previous | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
occasions, and this new account would now need to be corroborated. | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
The inquest has been adjourned and suspended | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
The isolation faced by farming families dealing with dementia has | :03:55. | :04:05. | |
been highlighted in a study by Plymouth University. | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
Researchers say rural communities are disadvantaged when it comes | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
to caring for people with the condition. | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
They hope the study will lead to greater community help. | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
Here's our environment correspondent, Adrian Campbell. | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
Sitting around the dining-room table, this South Devon farming | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
family are looking back to happy times. | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
Eric Smerdon farmed near Rattery in South Devon | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
and was a keen contributor to community life. | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
His family recall him coming to see how construction | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
was going when the village hall was built 20 years ago. | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
Eric's family say that in his later years he struggled | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
Regardless of the time of year he could always see snow outside, | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
you know, he'd look out the window and he'd say that there's | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
That appeared to be something, you know, which sort | :05:00. | :05:07. | |
Eric didn't sleep well and I used to say, I think you need to get | :05:08. | :05:19. | |
up and see the sheep, if they're lambing and things, | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
and they weren't, but he would wake up in the night, thinking things | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
Luckily I forget a lot of it and I'm glad I do. | :05:28. | :05:38. | |
The study by Plymouth University highlights the risks in isolated | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
places, with many dangers, including heavy machinery | :05:42. | :05:42. | |
Relatives do most of the caring but others in the wider | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
There are people who come to the farm regularly who can | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
also help, actually, as part of that informal network | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
of support, so people like vets, people like feed merchants, | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
tanker drivers, who often come to the farm on a regular basis, | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
can actually help to spot when things are not quite right, | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
help to raise a concern with the key people who need to know. | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
The study says families are reluctant to ask for support | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
but all of us need to be aware of dementia and how to help. | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
Well, I'm joined now by Ian Sheriff from the University of Plymouth, | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
and chair of the Prime Minister's rural dementia group. | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
Ian, we have heard about the problems there. | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
The solution, and I think we were discussing this with Richard | :06:33. | :06:41. | |
and Claire only the other day, that we've now got to sort | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
of energise rural communities to get behind some of the isolation factors | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
You know as well as I do some of these farms | :06:48. | :06:59. | |
that we're talking about were deep in the heart of Dartmoor, | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
I've had phone calls from around the country from hill | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
farmers who have said, thank goodness you've got | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
And one tragic sort of story I heard from one farmer was that | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
because his wife had dementia he had nobody else around at the time | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
so he had to take his wife in the tractor with him | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
And we all know how dangerous or at risk you are on a farm | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
environment, so a lot of things about risk as far as I was | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
Traditionally farming has always been a family business. | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
I suppose we've got fewer younger people going into farming. | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
Having fewer younger people around, is that a problem for the older | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
Well, I think what it means is that you haven't got anybody to hand down | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
or help with some of the tasks around the farm, and you've only got | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
to look at the paperwork that farmers have to complete, | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
and if you think about if somebody's in the early stage of dementia, | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
this can become very, very complicated, and I've heard | :07:55. | :08:03. | |
stories from my colleague Joe Jones from Community Farming | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
where they have gone in and helped the farm or the farmer | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
So it isn't just a simple, you know, my goodness me, we must get some | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
Because they're in a single, sometimes single-person | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
environment business, if that person is in the early | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
stages of dementia we've got some major problems on that farm. | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
You've got the research, what happens now? | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
I'm in the Prime Minister's group and our task is to find the issues | :08:27. | :08:37. | |
We've got five dementia-friendly parishes on our border | :08:38. | :08:48. | |
here and currently five parishes working together are | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
supporting 64 families where a person has dementia. | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
If I could energise every parish council in the country, | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
and there's 700 parish councils in Devon and Cornwall, that's | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
an army, and if they could just think about what they could do | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
for their rural communities as far as dementia goes, we've cracked it. | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
OK, Ian Sheriff, thank you very much for joining us. | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
Time for the weather. Is it going to snow? | :09:06. | :09:17. | |
Just a little bit. Most of us will see some rain, we could have sleep | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
mixed in as well. Tomorrow, wet and windy. As the rain clears eastwards | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
we could see it turning to snow on the back edge. Largely on the high | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
ground but some flurries on lower ground. Will bring the rain, through | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
the morning it will be wet and windy. As it clears eastwards we | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
have much colder air behind so we could well see sleet and snow. | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
Pretty wet from the word go, rain pushing and, fairly strong blustery | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
winds. The focus on the snow parts of Dorset and Somerset, maybe -- | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
mainly over high areas. We could see one to wintry showers behind that. | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
Tonight into Friday -- Thursday night into Friday we have the risk | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
of wintry flurries and ice on the roads first thing on Friday. It will | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
be a cold start on Friday, those westerly winds but more sunshine | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
than tomorrow. Temperatures, we struggle, and towards the end of the | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
day we could get showers feeding in from the Northwest so we could see | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
another spell of sleet and over high ground will stop a lot of weather | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
over the next few days, it is worthwhile keeping an eye on the | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
forecast. Tomorrow we start off with rain but it could turn to sleet and | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
snow on the back edge. Friday, much colder, but it turns that bit milder | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
as we head towards the colder, but it turns that bit milder | :10:44. | :10:45. | |
as we head towards the end of the weekend. | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
The breakfast bulletins start at 6:25am but from the late team have a | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
peaceful night. Goodbye. potentially leading us into a chilly | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
start to the weekend. Time for the national weather prospects if you | :11:02. | :11:02. | |
are on the move. Good evening, a lot going on with | :11:03. | :11:11. | |
the weather in the next few days, numerous weather warnings in for so | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
buried in mind if you have travel plans. Lots of isobars on the chart | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
overnight which means it will be windy for all. The strongest winds | :11:19. | :11:20. | |
in Scotland, lots of wintry showers with snow getting down to | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
increasingly low levels and some wintry showers in Northern Ireland | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
and northern England. A cold night for Northern England, particularly | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
in more rural spots, frosty and I see for some and some of the snow | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
really blowing around over higher ground in Scotland. Strong wind and | :11:37. | :11:38. | |
further snow to take us into tomorrow. It may well make for some | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
tricky travelling conditions. The forecast for tomorrow in the | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
southern half of the UK's quite tricky. We have got mild air bumping | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
into colder | :11:49. | :11:49. |
