A recovery truck driver, who denies murdering his teenage girlfriend, came up with a "false account" about what happened to her because he was trying to "evade responsibility", a court heard. Mohammed Azim, 41, is accused of killing his on-off girlfriend Lily Whitehouse on 5 November, just after she had been to visit her premature baby, fathered by another man, in a neonatal intensive care unit. Azim, of Tividale Road, Tipton, is alleged to have crushed Whitehouse against a lamp-post in Old Park Lane in Oldbury.

In her closing speeches to the jury on Wednesday, prosecution counsel Rachel Brand KC accused Azim of "acting" in the moments after her death. "We say it is clear he murdered Lily because in deliberately driving at her, he must, in that moment, have intended to cause her a really serious injury at least," she said.

A teenage boy accused of fatally stabbing a nine-year-old girl had been expelled from school hours before her death, a court has heard. Aria Thorpe died of a single stab wound to her chest in her home in Weston-super-Mare on 15 December last year. A 16-year-old boy, who cannot be named due to his age, is on trial at Bristol Crown Court charged with murder and manslaughter over her death, both of which he denies.

The court heard he would often get into trouble for being disruptive, but teachers felt he was "trying hard" a week before the decision was made to exclude him. The defendant's mother said in a statement that on the day of Aria's death, she received a call from the school saying "they'd come to the decision that [the defendant] would no longer be attending". "They would contact another school to put something in place," she said. "I felt angry, the week before I was told he was trying hard," jurors heard.

A woman who was sexually abused as a child by groups of men has said she feels insulted after her compensation claims were denied. Fiona Goddard was 14 and living in a children's home in Bradford when the grooming and abuse began during the late 2000s. Goddard, who has waived her right to anonymity, said it was "really insulting" to see "another level of dismissal" after she made a legal claim against West Yorkshire Police and Bradford Council. West Yorkshire Police and Bradford Council said they were not able to comment on an ongoing legal matter.

Nine men were jailed in February 2019 at Bradford Crown Court after being convicted of sexual offences against her. The trial heard she was found by police at the home of a man in his 40s on more than one occasion when she was a child missing from local authority care.

A video circulating on social media has sparked widespread attention after being linked to the reported killing of a 15-year-old Iraqi girl, Kawthar Bashar Al-Husayjawi, in Nahrawan, east of Baghdad. The footage, widely shared across TikTok and other platforms, has been described in online posts as showing a family celebrating after an alleged honour killing, though its authenticity has not been independently verified. According to reporting by The Jerusalem Post, the case centres on claims that a 15-year-old Iraqi girl, identified as Kawthar Bashar, was killed in the Nahrawan district east of Baghdad after allegedly refusing an arranged marriage with a cousin. The incident has been described by women's rights groups cited in the report as an alleged honour killing, a term used in cases where violence is linked to perceived violations of family or social honour.

A victim of a child sex grooming gang has blasted Sir Keir Starmer as her abusers prepare for early release from jail under Labour’s ‘soft justice’ masterplan. Fiona Goddard, who has waived her right to anonymity, said her ‘mental health crashed’ when she learned the convicted men were being lined up for early release. Miss Goddard was 14 and living in a children's home in Bradford when the grooming and abuse began during the late 2000s. In a video posted to her account on X, formerly Twitter, she said she had been notified by officials that three members of the gang are due to be freed early from jail in the coming months, with two more following next year.

In all, nine men from Bradford and Dewsbury, West Yorks, were jailed in February 2019 for their roles in abusing Ms Goddard and another girl. The releases could come even earlier, Miss Goddard said, as she had been told they may be eligible after serving just one third of their sentence rather than half. Ms Goddard said in the video: ‘It's astounding that this is allowed to happen, and that people can get such lenient sentences for the most atrocious sexual violence.
