Donald trump is also in the state and will be speaking a little later in the day to his crowds. So, its big moment ahead of the midterms, just three days away. Youre watching bbc news. Its been a pretty soggy day today across the uk thanks to a slow moving Weather Front which brought patchy rain and drizzle. That rain will become confined to the southeast corner of the country for part two of the weekend. Elsewhere, its looking brighter with sunshine, scattered showers and it will be windy for pretty much all areas. So this area of low pressure is responsible for bringing the unsettled weather this weekend. That set todays Weather Front becoming confined to the southeast. All those showers out west ready to push in through tonight and tomorrow so it stays cloudy, damp across southern and eastern areas. The rain starts to pep up here. It becomes heavy and maybe some rumbles of thunder. Elsewhere, after a dry starts, the blustery showers will get going. Some of these could be quite heavy as well, but in between therell be some clearer, drier weather. A cool night further north. Not as cold as it has been of late. Milder, further south and east. Its a bit of a messy pressure chart for sunday. You can see low pressures closer to our shores, lots of icy bars on the charts. Its going to be windy. Lots of shower activity, really will be quite a wet day, i think across the far south east of england. That rain coming and going and it will be heavy at times. Maybe some rumbles of thunder elsewhere, though. Further north and west, its bright sunshine, blustery showers, some of them heavy merging together to produce longer spells of rain. And a blustery day for all areas, but certainly windy around some southern and western coast, a0 to 50 mile an hour gusts. Temperatures up to around 14 degrees in the south. Ii or 12 further north, so fairly mild. Sunday night stays blustery. Therell be further showers piling into southern, northern and western areas. A better chance of staying drier will be towards the northeast. Low pressure still with us then for the new week for monday. Again, its going to be a windy day with outbreaks of rain, some of it heavy, certainly across southern and western areas, tending to push north through the day, something a little bit drier and brighter across central and Southern Britain into the afternoon. But a windy day to come, probably even windier, certainly around southern and western coast, 50 to maybe 60mph in exposure. Temperature wise, though, with our air source coming in from the south west, its going to be milder. 15 or 16 degrees will be the high, even 15 degrees there for the central belt. Tuesday, another windy day with outbreaks of rain, but wednesday onwards, it looks like High Pressure starts to build in. Thatll settle things down, i think it will stay quite cloudy. Limited brightness, but youll notice itll turn very mild. At ten oclock well be here with a full round up of the days news. First, the big cases the suitcase murderer. I saw a lady that looked like she had slipped down some steps. Devon and Cornwall Police have identified the body found in a wooden area as mee chong. She wanted to do good, | and Jemma Mitchell saw that in her. She forced the body into a suitcase, transported the body some distance. You have shown absolutely no remorse, it appears that you are in complete denial. June 2021. A summers day in the coastal resort of salcombe on the south devon coast. I was with george, my boyfriend, and my mum and dad, and we were on holiday and just having a couple of weeks down there. Just normal stuff that we do, like going to the beach, going on walks, having some nice food, going on the boat, ive got a little boat down there as well, so we like to go on that. But charlottes idyllic Family Holiday was about to be shattered one afternoon. Out walking, they made a gruesome discovery. At the time my mum, she saw some fabric, she said, over the wall, and it was quite close to us, it was quite easy to see. And she knew that something was wrong but she didnt want to look again, so she shouted us over and said, can you look whats down there, i have seen something, im not too sure what it is. And so i looked then, and i saw a lady that looked like she had slipped down some steps, and then initially my reaction was to rush down and help her, because it looked like she had maybe just fallen, like, i guess that is what you presume, someone has had an accident. But it wasnt an accident. The family had discovered the body of a missing woman, Mee Kuen Chong, also known as deborah. She lived more than 200 miles away in london. While we were standing around waiting for the police to take our names, i overheard one of the policemen say that she didnt have a head, the lady. And up until that point, it felt quite different, it felt like it was just a really sad, unfortunate thing that this lady had slipped over. But then when obviously we heard him say that, it was a little bit more scary. The discovery sparked a major police investigation, led by londons metropolitan police. These are the last sightings of Deborah Chong, seen walking close to her home just days before her death. The 67 year old was born in malaysia. She lived here in wembley, in north west london. A Devout Christian who befriended the homeless and opened her door to those in need. Deborah chong, from all we have known about her, was someone who cared for others. That theme came through. She was open, welcoming, wanting to help the homeless, people stayed at her address without paying rent. She wanted to do good. These are the last known images of ms chong, captured here on cctv, walking with one of her lodgers two days before her death. In north west london, at 9 Brondesbury Park, Jemma Mitchell was seen leaving her home at 6 23 in the morning with a large suitcase. She has the blue suitcase with her, and you can see it is quite light, she is able to lift it off the ground. This is the suitcase that ultimately Deborah Chongs body would end up within and be transported to salcombe, devon. Just before 8am Jemma Mitchell is seen approaching Deborah Chongs house. Five hours later she is caught on camera again further up the road. Exactly what happened during that time remains a mystery to police. Several hours afterJemma Mitchell arrived at Deborah Chongs address, Jemma Mitchell has two suitcases, one is the blue suitcase she left her address with, this suitcase is now decidedly bulkier. We say that the body of Deborah Chong is within it. Jemma also has a separate suitcase which has all of deborahs personal belongings within that. To get back home, Jemma Mitchell calls for a cab. She gives them a false name and a different destination address not hers, but her neighbours. As she tries to leave, she is left waiting. Despite reluctance from the taxi operator, she agrees to wait. Just after four in the afternoon, Jemma Mitchell arrives home. Mitchell has been dropped off by the cab, not to her home address but next door, 11 Brondesbury Park, and we can see her now taking that blue suitcase which contains Deborah Chongs body into the hoarding, the front hoarding of 9 Brondesbury Park. Later that evening, Jemma Mitchell was seen entering st thomass hospital in london. She had a fractured finger she told doctors that she had trapped it in a car door. That was a lie. It would be that same evening on june when police were called about deborah. Her lodger, seen for the final time alongside her here, called to report her missing on the day she died. By 26 june The Search For Deborah was well under way. Nobody Excethemma Mitchell had any idea what had truly happened to the 67 year old. That morning, mitchell is seen on cctv picking up a hire car in central london. She is loading the blue suitcase into the back of this hire vehicle, she is having extreme difficulty in actually getting it into the boot, she is using her body weight and levering the heavy suitcase into the back boot area. Once she has loaded the car up with various other things, she then departs on her way to salcombe. Jemma mitchell leaves her home at 9 53am. Automatic cameras record the carjust before 11 driving west on the m4 towards bristol. By 1 59pm she stops near bristol to get petrol. Just after 6pm Jemma Mitchell is forced to stop again. She pulled into a garage close to the south devon coast. Her hire car had a burst tyre. I was up at the Malborough Garage buying bin bags i think, randomly, and i was just walking back to my car and heard this grinding noise, and the car coming in a very strange direction into the petrol station. And it was apparent that she looked like she was going to crash into the forecourt shop. So i ran over waving my arms, as did another guy, tojust sort of say whoa, stop, stop. She pulled over, having pretty much hit the front of the shop, and was sort of looking a bit surprised. Nicky powell stayed with Jemma Mitchell while she called the aa to come and repair the tyre. I found it slightly odd that she said to me that the car had felt strange from kingsbridge, that is a long way to drive before stopping and having a look. There are plenty of places she could have pulled up. Also the direction she came into the petrol station, that i assume she came from, was not the kingsbridge direction, it is the salcombe direction, so that seemed rather strange. And then again, the clothing she was wearing were more suited to having been doing the gardening all day or housework, rather than the sort of clothes you put on to go to visit family and go for a scenic drive, it did seem slightly odd, but again, people dress how they wish to dress nowadays. So again, i didnt question any of it. It was just a normal working day for me at the time, i got called to go and give a member assistance, and i rememberas soon as i finished the job, i phoned my wife and just said, claire, look, you are never going to believe what is going on. I just had this really weird job. For roadside technician lee garden, it was to be a callout like no other. I removed the punctured tyre and the damaged wheel, and we needed to put it back in the vehicle because it belonged to the vehicle, so you would normally put it back in the boot, because that is the best place for it, the safest place for it. But she didnt want it to go back in the boot, she wanted it put on the back seat, which i thought was a bit strange at the time. But we put it in the back, and we had to strap it in to make it safe with the seatbelt, and that is when i was in the back of the vehicle, i noticed there was a strong smell. At the time. I didnt really know what it was, its not something i have really smelled before. It was sort of like a dank, murky sort of musty smell, which was quite potent, nothing i have really smelled before. So that took me, and was a bit, yeah, a bit odd. Two hours after her emergency stop, mitchell finally leaves the garage. She turns toward salcombe. Cctv recovered by police tracks herjourney through the countryside. About a0 minutes later, Jemma Mitchells car is seen driving along bennett road in salcombe. Less than an hour later, the car reappears on cctv on bennett road. Detectives would later conclude mitchell dumped Deborah Chongs body in the woods. Automatic number plate cameras logged mitchells drive back to london overnight. By 6244 the next morning, she was back home. She is caught on cctv taking items from the car boot, including the blue suitcase, back into her house. On the afternoon of 27 june, less than 2a hours after Deborah Chongs body was dumped in woodland, it was discovered by Charlotte Rollings and her family. Deborahs handbag was found too. Inside, a length of rope, which the jury would later hear matched rope found at Jemma Mitchells home. The Business Card of an Evangelical Church and scraps of Paper Bearing Passages from the bible were also found. But it wouldnt be until several days later during searches of the woodland that the head was found, ten metres away. What followed was a huge murder investigation. Meanwhile, Jemma Mitchell was trying to put police off the scent. Three days after the murder, she sent an email to the missing persons unit. She wrote the email was to become just one piece of a significant amount of evidence. Police had concluded Jemma Mitchell was their prime suspect. Banging Police Excuse me . Hello, there. Hello, how are you . Yes, good. Sorry, whats your name . We were asleep. Are you jemma . Speaking indistinctly hang on, one second. Jemma, do you want to come out . Yeah, sure, sure. Hand to the side of your hand. All right, jemma, at this moment, im arresting l you on suspicion of murder, 0k . Iyou dont have to say anything.

There is someone else inside . Orjust your mum . Just my mum. Shall i bring her out . Bring her in for a minute. Intense searches ofJemma Mitchells Brondesbury Park home followed in the days after her arrest. On top of a neighbours shed, they found the blue suitcase which was used to put deborahs body in. They also found a fake will made byJemma Mitchell, which left most of ms chongs assets to her. The person driving the volvo waited in the car all that time. When questioned in police custody, Jemma Mitchell repeatedly refused to engage with officers. Literally chucking it down with rain, and it was windy. Why is that, jemma . No comment. The car stank, didnt it, jemma . No comment. It stunk of a dead person. No comment. Stunk of deborahs decomposing body. Is that right, jemma . No comment. Almost a year and a half after deborahs body was found, Jemma Mitchell entered the dock at the old bailey for her trial. The jury heard the former osteopath had a first class degree in Human Sciences and was trained in human dissection. She declined to give any evidence in her defence. A woman from london has been found guilty of killing her friend and dumping her body more than 200 miles away in devon. Afterjust eight hours of deliberations, the jury found Jemma Mitchell guilty of murder. A woman has been found guilty of the murder and decapitationj of a friend she met in church. Jemma mitchell killed Mee Kuen Chong at her home in wembley last year before i taking her headless body 200 miles away, in a suitcase. Deborah was 67 years old when she was murdered in june of last year. Today at the old bailey, a 38 year old woman Jemma Mitchell has been found guilty of that murder. Deborah was born in malaysia. Through her own hard work and initiative, she made a good life for herself, finally settling in london, where she was a much valued and loved member of her community. Mitchell has never accepted responsibility for deborahs murder so there are questions which may remain unanswered. Why she kept the body for over a fortnight, why she decapitated her, and why she deposited her remains in salcombe. But what we we do know is it that it was an evil act carried out by an evil woman, and the only motive, clearly, was one of financial gain. On friday 28 october, mitchell was back in court. This time, she was to be sentenced for murder. It was a historic moment at the old bailey. She became the first murderer and first woman in england and wales to have her sentence televised. Jemma mitchell, i have to sentence you for the murder on 11 june of last year, of mee kuen, otherwise known as Deborah Chong, which you were convicted by the jury yesterday. I have had regard to the victim impact statements read to the court from members of herfamily, who are not, unnaturally, in a State Of Shock and devastation as to the circumstances in which she met her death. The court heard a statement from deborahs sister, amy. The court heard a statement in it, it said. The enormity of your crime is profoundly shocking. Even more so, given your apparent religious devotion, as well as the fact that Deborah Chong was a good friend to you and had shown you great kindness. The sentence of the court is one of life imprisonment. Will you please take the defendant downstairs .
