Man In Court On Shooting Charge
A man will appear in court in Manchester in connection with the shooting of a 16-year-old girl. The teenager has been shot in the head at her home in Ashover Avenue, Gorton on Saturday. She remains in a critical condition in hospital. Nineteen-year-old Wayne Bryan, of Gorton Villa, has been charged with grievous bodily harm and possession of a firearm and ammunition. A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said: "Police were called to an address in Ashover Avenue, Gorton, following reports of a shooting."

It is reported that all died from carbon monoxide poisoning after inhaling car fumes.

Inquires by officers in the Maenan and Tal-Y-Cafn areas have been completed although a section of the scene remains cordoned off while examinations continue. Police continue to treat the deaths as suspicious although police are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident at this time. The Land Rover has been removed from the scene to St Asaph where further forensic examinations will be carried out by experts. One neighbour who did not wish to be named said that she was "just heartbroken" and that the children were "really nice, lovely children". It has been reported that Mr Philcox was going through a divorce, according to his neighbours.
