Matricide Man Detained
A 48-year-old man with a long history of mental health problems stabbed his mother to death after she banned him from smoking in their home. Jarvis Ford will be held indefinitely under the Mental Health Act after admitting the manslaughter of his mother Margaret, aged 84, in May. He stabbed her nine times at Templeton near Narberth, Pembrokeshire, and then phoned his sister to confess. He was a paranoid schizophrenic, Swansea Crown Court was told.
Gunman Jailed
A man has been jailed for eight years at Harrow Crown Court after being convicted of robbery at an Islington Post Office and possession of a firearm. Joseph Roche, 35, of no fixed abode, pleaded guilty at Harrow Crown Court on 1 October to one count of robbery and one count of possession of a firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence. Investigating officer, DC Bradley Hunns of the Flying Squad said: "Roche's capture and subsequent prosecution has undoubtedly taken a dangerous individual out of circulation."
Tax Holiday Welcomed
A plan for a National Insurance tax holiday for new start-up businesss could create 60,000 jobs, it has been claimed by the Shadow Chancellor George Osborne. Speaking at this week's Conservative Party conference in Manchester he said the tax break on employers' NI contributions would apply to the first ten people recruited by a firm. It was unveiled by the party as one of a series of measures he plans to introduce to 'get Britain working' should it win power in the next election. The Forum of Private Business - which is campaigning against the 0.5% NI increase scheduled to take place in 2011 - is cautiously welcoming the latest proposal.
