In a statement, they said they were “completely devastated by the horrific attack on our loved one” and thanked local heroes that came to his rescue and “absolutely saved his life”. They said peaceful protest is the “only way forward”, adding: “We do not want this terrible tragedy to be used to divide people or fuel hostility."

- ► Donald Trump has vowed to hit Iran “very hard” in retaliation for the downing of a US Apache helicopter near the Omani coast earlier this week as the ceasefire agreement descended into tit-for-tat hostilities.
The US President, who suggested on Monday that a deal could be done within a fortnight to end the 14-week conflict, today said Iran will have to “pay the price”.
Despite a ceasefire agreement being in play, Mr Trump said the US have the “right” to strike back and will do so: “We hit them hard yesterday, and we’re going to hit them again today.”
He added: "We are going to be attacking them, attacking them very hard.”

- ► An electrician who stabbed a judge’s daughter to death in a frenzied rage before blowing up their London home in a gas explosion has been jailed for life.
Clifton George, 45, killed his partner Annabel Rook, 46, by stabbing her 31 times during a row at their Stoke Newington home after she had said they should end their 10-year relationship.
In the aftermath of the killing, George started a fire in the basement in order to cause a gas canister explosion which ripped through the house, causing around £400,000 of damage.
At Snaresbrook Crown Court on Tuesday, Mr Justice Constable KC sentenced George to life in prison and ordered that he serve at least 23 years in prison before becoming eligible for release.
He said George had the ability to be friendly and fun, but he had “another troubling side to your character”.

The National Audit Office (NAO) has published a report into the royal family’s residential property arrangements after controversy surrounding the disgraced former duke’s lease of the Crown Estate home.
Other findings include the revelation that the King foots the bill for Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie’s accommodation in royal palaces despite both Mr Mountbatten-Windsor's daughters being non-working royals.
And for a number of years, their adjusted rents – reduced because the Royal Household properties require tenants with security clearance – were based on out-of-date open market valuations.

Today, 23 years after the victim was tackled down a roadside embankment in Salford while she walked home, before being choked unconscious, bitten, raped and severely beaten, her attacker was finally brought to justice.
Peter Quinn, now 52, has been jailed for 21 years after earlier being found guilty of rape, strangulation and grievous bodily harm. He will serve an additional three years on licence, bringing his combined sentence to 24 years.
Mr Malkinson hit out at the sentence, calling it insulting, saying Quinn got a “softer sentence than was imposed on me, an innocent man”, and maybe freed after as little as 14 years.
Mr Malkinson was sentenced to life imprisonment.

A judge has paid tribute to a woman who was raped in a horrific roadside attack in 2003, calling her a “hero”, as he jailed her attacker for 24 years.
Paul Quinn was sentenced on Friday - having earlier being found guilty of rape, strangulation and grievous bodily harm – for the crime that saw Andrew Malkinson wrongly serving 17 years.
The now 60-year-old was released in 2020, and his conviction was quashed in 2023 after DNA evidence identified Quinn.
In sentencing Quinn, Mr Justice Bright spoke of the “heroic” actions of the woman who had enduring an attack so violent she was lucky to have survived and then spent 23 years waiting for justice to be served.
Mr Justice Bright said it has “troubled” him for a long time that the judicial system has “utterly inadequate terms” for the person to whom crime is done.

- ► The murder of Henry Nowak sparked a fierce debate around policing and racism today. Nigel Farage kicked things off, by claiming the teen’s death was an example of “two-tier” policing and urged people to respond to the case with “pure cold rage”. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch wasn’t having it, accusing the Reform leader of using the case to deepen divisions.
Henry was handcuffed and arrested as he lay dying after his killer, Vickrum Digwa, told police he was the victim of racism – a matter now being investigated by the police watchdog. Both Henry’s family and Digwa’s have pleaded for the case not to lead to further divisions.
Speaking in the House of Commons today, the home secretary told how misinformation about the officers involved in the case had led to one – not involved in the case – having to move house over threats to his family.

The decision was made after two separate juries at Liverpool Crown Court could not reach verdicts on allegations that Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 21, and Muhammad Amaad, 26, assaulted Pc Zachary Marsden in July 2024 causing him actual bodily harm.
Both men, from Rochdale, denied the charge and said they acted in lawful self-defence, or in defence of the other.
Last week, the second jury was discharged after they deliberated for nearly 20 hours following a five-week trial.
Amaaz was remanded in custody last year after he was convicted at the first trial of the assault of Pc Lydia Ward and Pc Ellie Cook during the same incident on July 23. He will be sentenced on June 26

Uways Hussain was jailed for 11 years and eight months, and Usmon Mahmood – who was a passenger in the car – was given 12 months and nine months for the crash in Manchester in March 2026 and resulted in the death of Sylvester Abayomi.

A Sikh man has been found guilty of the murder of an 18-year-old university student by stabbing him to death with a Sikh kirpan ceremonial knife with a 21cm blade.
Vickrum Digwa told police a “wicked lie” that he was the victim of a racist attack after he stabbed finance student Henry Nowak, from Chafford Hundred, Essex, five times in the incident in Belmont Road, Southampton, on 3 December 2025.
He also “lied” by telling officers that he had not stabbed Mr Nowak despite the student’s pleas for help as he told the police that he was injured.
This led the officers to arrest Mr Nowak and putting him in handcuffs moments before he collapsed and became unconscious before dying despite their efforts to give him first aid.

- ► At first, Richard Madeley "pitied" the inmates at El Salvador's "broken" mega-prison. But, then he had a change of heart.
The broadcaster opens up about being “slung out on day one” of his visit to one of the most notorious prisons in the world. He travelled to El Salvador and gained rare access inside CECOT - the Terrorism Confinement Center - which is at the centre of the country’s controversial crackdown on gang violence.
The maximum-security mega-prison can hold 40,000 inmates and has drawn intensive international attention and human rights scrutiny due to its highly restrictive, and secretive methods. However, it has also almost wiped-out gang violence in the country making it a trouble success story.
Mr Madely describes the prison as an “extreme corner of a human zoo” with inmates cooped up like animals “on a battery farm”, held in total isolation with “absolutely nothing to do”.

The Prime Minister described the case as “distressing” and praised the “courage” of the victims who came forward.
Two girls were raped in Fordingbridge, Hampshire, by two 15-year-olds and one 14-year-old who were given non-custodial sentences by a judge at Southampton Crown Court, who said he wanted to “avoid criminalising these children unnecessarily”.

An RAF pilot killed during World War Two - but only discovered in 2022 - has been laid to rest with full military honours, 86 years after he was shot down over northern France.
Squadron leader George Morley Fidler, from Great Ayton, North Yorkshire, was buried at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission London Cemetery and Extension in Longueval, France, on Tuesday, on what was the 86th anniversary of his death. He had no known living relatives.
His body was found still in the pilot’s seat of his Hurricane aircraft when workers began excavating to expand a canal, and he was later identified by war detectives after extensive DNA testing.
The pilot, known to his family and friends as ‘Morley’, was described as an “exceptional” pilot. He was born on 30 September 1912 and joined the forces in 1934.
