Mr Mitchell was accused of swearing at police and calling them plebs - allegations he has denied. The Conservative MP resigned as chief whip in the wake of the controversy.

So it wasn't an entirely unprovoked attack (one of the officers shouted over at the four males) and the five officers were off-duty when beaten. I still think that a term of imprisonment should have been given though.

I've seen in some newspapers that it is to be announced that she died of a heroin overdose. I haven't seen any mention as to whether or not it was accidental or intentional, either way, she did not appear to have given much thought as to her families feelings, particularly as she would have known the effect that heroin had in the past on other people close to her.

A female teacher has been stabbed to death in front of other pupils inside a school in Leeds. The 61-year-old victim, who the BBC understands was Spanish teacher Anne Maguire, was taken to hospital but later pronounced dead.

Downing Street said the prime minister's thoughts were with the victim's family. Two pupils at the scene told the BBC that children were seen screaming and running out a classroom following the attack. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-27193638
