Stabbed Teen Dies
A teenage boy has died after being stabbed in the chest in Greater Manchester. Police found the 17-year-old collapsed in Tonge Moor Road, Bolton, at 11.30pm with fatal injuries. It is believed he had been attacked in a nearby house. He was taken to Royal Bolton Hospital where he later died. Three teenagers and a woman have been arrested in connection with the death. One of them, a 17-year-old boy, is being quizzed on suspicion of murder.
PSNI Station Blasted
Two people have been injured in a car bomb explosion outside a police station in Newtownhamilton, Co Armagh. The explosion happened at about 11.25pm. Police were told in a call to a Belfast hospital about an hour earlier that a vehicle had been abandoned and officers were en route to the station, which is staffed on a part-time basis, when the explosion happened. The two people's injuries are not life-threatening. Shots are reported to have been fired before the explosion.
Roman Altar Stones Uncovered
The remains of two Roman altar stones have been uncovered in an East Lothian park during the redevelopment of a Musselburgh cricket pavilion. As the Lewisvale Park pavilion lies partially within a Scheduled Ancient Monument (Roman and Iron Age Field Systems) permission to undertake excavations for the building foundations and to lay services was required from Historic Scotland.
Oil Platform 999
An oil worker has been airlifted to hospital after suffering an electric shock on an offshore platform. The man was injured on the Dunlin platform, north east of Shetland at about 5pm and as a result of the incident, power to the rig was cut off for a short time prompting crews on board to prepare for evacuation.
Drivers Quizzed Over Murder
Police investigating the murder of a woman found strangled in a ditch are to set up a road block in a Gwynedd town. It is nearly two weeks since the body of 22-year-old Ffion Wyn Roberts was discovered in Porthmadog. The care worker was last seen after a Friday night out celebrating a friend's birthday in nearby Tremadog. Officers hope to speak to drivers who may have been in the area at the time of the killing but who do not realise they might have witness information.
