Beckham To Take Legal Action
David Beckham has branded recent published allegations about his private life as “lies”
He is taking legal action against US magazine In Touch relating to an alleged liaison in New York in August 2007. In a statement, his spokesperson said the claims were "completely untrue and totally ridiculous, as the magazine was clearly told before publication. Sadly we live in a world where a magazine can print lies and believe they can get away with it."
CCTV Images Released In Murder Inquiry
Detectives investigating the murder of Michelle Samaraweera and three other DNA-linked sexual assaults are releasing images of a man in connection with the incidents.
Despite several efforts by detectives to trace the man they are now hoping members of the public can assist and identify him. Police were first alerted to a series of attacks on women after commencing the investigation into Michelle's murder on Saturday 30 May, 2009. Michelle's body was found in a small park and play area in East London. Michelle, 35, had been strangled and raped. Detectives from the Homicide and Serious Crime Command (HSCC) have linked the three assaults in the area to the murder of Michelle Samaraweera. The suspect has been described as being of Asian appearance, or with dark skin and dark hair, and is aged between 30 and 45 years.
Somali-Born British Terror Suspect Freed
