Lubbock's Dad Appeals
Years after a coroner recorded an open verdict into his death, the father of a man who died at Michael Barrymore's home in 2001 has said he hoped the anniversary might prompt someone to come forward. Stuart Lubbock, 31, was found dead at the entertainer's former property in Roydon, Essex. No-one has been charged over his death and police said they believed someone knows what happened. Post-mortem tests showed Mr Lubbock had suffered severe internal injuries which indicated sexual assault. His bloodstream contained ecstasy, cocaine and alcohol. This week, Terry Lubbock, of Harlow, said: "The only way anything is going to happen now is if somebody comes forward."
Jailed Bigamist Sentenced
A twice-married man who is already serving a prison sentence has been jailed for another nine months after admitting bigamy.

He is currently serving two-and-a-half years for other offences, but his latest sentence will run concurrently.
Child Drowns In Florida

The Sheriff's Office said the cause appeared to be accidental drowning.
Stormont Chief On Rack
Northern Ireland's First Minister Peter Robinson and his former politician wife, Iris have been exposed as purchasing a small parcel of land close to their home in 2006 from a now deceased developer for £5, a figure that did not represent its true value, the BBC has claimed. According to the BBC report, the land could have been worth anything up to £75,000, given it was positioned beside the Fort Road, Castlereagh and the land would have provided access to further space behind the Robinsons' Gransha Road home, which was marked for extensive housing development.
