On the night he killed his stepson in the living room, he claimed the boys injuries were accidental, but his three year old brother, peter, saw what really happened. Hed crept downstairs for a drink, and through a gap in the living room door saw dearlove swinging paul violently by the ankles and cracking his head against the fireplace, causing fatal injuries. Nearly half a century later, what peter booth sawjust before his

Bruce adamson has said he cant rule it out, as the basic human rights of children are being infringed with the controversial new benefits system. The uk government has insisted universal credit is working. Bbc reporting scotlands Morag Kinniburgh reports. A day of action in the leaf as in other parts of scotland. These protesters want universal credit stopped. They claimed the new all in one benefit is driving more people into debt. Dozens of those in work here also in poverty.

Plenty of shoppers at this Small Convenience store did, once they found out the price. They re iop, for a whole bag of pistachios. Oh, my life 10p. Right, yeah. Ill have them. Yeah . Got a deal . Yeah. Heres how it works. Any tinned or dried goods passed the best before date end up in these boxes at a knock down price, instead of going to waste. Labels can be confusing.
