We're covering the sentencing of Nicholas Prosper, who murdered his mother, brother and sister last September.

The teenager also plotted to carry out a massacre at his former primary school in Luton.

Nicholas Prosper’s family faced an “extended, violent struggle” after disrupting his plan upon realising “something was terribly wrong”

Breaking: In what is believed to be a UK-first, a jury has concluded that a suicide inside prison amounted to unlawful killing.

Robert Fenlon took his own life while on remand at HMP Woodhill in 2016. An inquest heard a litany of failings which contributed to his death Robert - described as "big hearted, someone who would help anyone" - had a history of mental illness & substance abuse.

Before his death, he passed a note under his cell warning of his despair and was also found trying to hang himself.

BREAKING: Kellie Sutton WAS unlawfully killed, a jury concludes

It is believed to be the first ever UK unlawful killing conclusion after a woman has taken her own life following domestic abuse.

Paves way for police to properly consider manslaughter charges against perpetrators Failures by Hertfordshire Constabulary MAY HAVE contributed to Kellie Sutton’s death, jury also finds.

There were “numerous opportunities missed at several levels…which may have altered the final outcome”.

Damning conclusion on failure to safeguard Kellie from her abuser

The inquest into the death of Kellie Sutton begins today.

Mother-of-three Kellie took her own life after sustained physical and emotional abuse at the hands of her partner Steven Gane.

I’m covering as part of @Channel4News’ long-running coverage of domestic abuse-suicide 🧵 Kellie was found unconscious at the Hertfordshire home she shared with Gane on 23rd August 2017 - her family had to turn her life support machine off three days later. She was just 30.

After Kellie died, Gane was convicted of coercive behaviour, actual bodily harm and assault

This is Jessie Laverack. She was the victim of domestic abuse and took her own life.

In what is believed to be a UK first, a coroner has made an explicit link between domestic abuse and suicide at Jessie’s inquest - and demanded the government does more to protect victims 🧵1/ Coroner Lorraine Harris concluded that the underlying cause of Jessie’s illness was domestic abuse and that a lack of understanding of the link between domestic abuse-suicide led to multiple failings in her care.

So alarmed by Jessie’s case, she went further still…2/

Martin Lewis [@MartinSLewis] on @BBCr4today just now: "I am slightly worried that we are seeing potentially a deliberate narrative shift that effectively says the entire cost of living crisis is due to Ukraine and we all need to make sacrifices - that is not correct" He continued: "What has happened in Ukraine has exacerbated the situation but the rises in energy, heating, water, council tax, broadband, mobiles, food, national insurance were all in place before Ukraine"
