Transgender woman Rihanna Cooper, 21, is paying for her gender reassignment herself . Now, having realised she can't go on as a man again and having to pay for her treatment privately, Rihanna is working as an escort to fund her dreams. She said: 'Working as an escort can be dangerous and frightening. It's exhausting sometimes too. 'But it's the only way I have of earning enough money to become a woman.' Her initial treatment, and her subsequent decision to abandon the reassignment programme, sparked huge debate over whether she was too young to be allowed to swap sexes in the first place. But Rihanna insists that her decision was the right one - and blames NHS psychiatrists and doctors for clouding her focus. Rihanna was born Bradley Cooper in January 1994, and grew up with her mum, Elaine, 46, and three sisters, Claire, now 29, Katy, 26, and Sophie, 23. Born Bradley Cooper, Rihanna realised she was born in the wrong body and at 16 was accepted for treatment . Rihanna says: 'From an early age, I wanted to play with my sisters' Barbie dolls. My mum bought me Action men but I wasn't interested. 'I used to love watching her put make-up on. I was always stealing her lipstick. 'At school, my friends were all girls and I loved playing netball. 'I knew I had been born in the wrong body and I wanted so desperately to be a girl. 'I was an angry kid, because I was so confused, and though I was never bullied, I got into trouble, and I ended up expelled from school.' At 15, she announced that she wanted to become a girl. She says: 'It was hardly a shock. My family had always known. My mum and sisters were very supportive.' At 16, Rihanna was referred for specialist psychiatric assessments and she began dressing and living as a girl, painting her nails and growing her hair. However Rihanna, pictured centre with her mother and sister, said she actually wanted to be a boy part way through her NHS treatment - sparked huge debate over whether she was too young to be allowed . But Rihanna blames NHS medics for clouding her focus - and says she does want to be a woman . Her story hit the press as she became Britain's youngest sex-swap patient. But she rebelled against the treatment programme. She says: 'I hated the psychiatric treatment. I felt as though I was being made to justify why I wanted to be a girl, like they wanted to catch me out almost. 'I knew I was a girl inside, and

The plastic surgeon who gave a 'Brazilian butt lift' to a young Australian tourist who died during the procedure lost another patient just a year before her tragic death, it has been revealed. The family of Evita Nicole Sarmonikas arrived back in Sydney on Tuesday from Mexico where they flew on a mission to bring her body home, after being pressured to have her remains created before an official autopsy could be carried out following her death in March this year. It has now been revealed Dr Victor Ramirez, of the Hospital Quirurgico del Valle in Mexicali, the capital city of the Mexican state of Baja California, operated on Roseann Falcon Ornelas in 2014. Australian woman Evita Nicole Sarmonikas died while undergoing plastic surgery last month in Mexico . The 52-year-old American woman was given a tummy tuck by Dr Ramirez, and began complaining of shortness of breath just five hours after her operation, and was in so much pain she could not move. Ms Ornelas sister Belinda Munoz told The ABC's 7 30 Report that she 'sat there in a mess of fluids and blood just oozing out of her body causing her to be soaked in bed. And yet the clinic associates refuse to change her bedding or help in any way.' Ms Munoz said that she wished she had spoken out about Dr Ramirez when her sister died, and that 'now the beautiful Evita is gone. My heart breaks for her family'. 29-year-old Evita Sarmonikas, from the Gold Coast, was admitted to Hospital Quirurgico del Valle on March 20 while on holiday with her boyfriend, and died on the same day. Her sister Andrea told 7 30 Report that the clinic in Mexicali attempted to convince Ms Sarmonikas boyfriend to have her body cremated before an official autopsy could be conducted. Her family insisted that an independent inquest into her death be arranged, and flew over to Mexico to collect her body. 'I knew I had to go over. I wasn't going to let her body leave without having a proper investigation,' Andrea told 7 30. Dr Ramirez lost another patient the year before Ms Sarmonikas died on his operating table . Ms Sarmonikas' sister Andrea told 7 30 Report that the clinic in Mexicali attempted to convince Ms Sarmonikas boyfriend to have her body cremated before an official autopsy could be conducted . Ms Sarmonikas's sister and her mother flew to Mexico to collect her body after an official autopsy . When Andrea and her grieving mother arrived in Mexico, they were handed paperwork that Ms Sarmonikas was meant to have filled out before surgery, and found that sections were incomplete. Ms Sarmonikas' sister said that the autopsy also highlighted discrepancies in the report prepared by the Mexican clinic. 'It's information that confirms this needs to be investigated seriously and that there are some irregularities that need to be clarified,' she said. The President of the College of Plastic Surgeons in Mexicali confirmed that Dr Ramirez's certification had lapsed, and that he had been stood down until after

Summary: Evita Sarmonikas, 29, died in Mexico in Mexico after undergoing a 'butt lift' The doctor who performed the procedure had another patient die in 2013 . Ms Sarmonikas' family ordered an independent autopsy on her body . They said it revealed inconsistencies with the report which said she died of cardiac arrest .

The former chairman of Bradford City was linked to eight other fires before the Valley Parade blaze that killed 56, a new book has claimed. Author Martin Fletcher claims the devastating fire was not an accident and has revealed a sequence of other blazes at businesses owned by or associated with Stafford Heginbotham, the club's chairman at the time. After an inquiry, high court judge Mr Justice Popplewell said the fire was not started deliberately and was caused by a discarded cigarette. West Yorkshire police today said in a statement that they would review any fresh evidence surrounding the tragedy. Scroll down for video . Tragedy: The fire at Bradford City's Valley Parade claimed 56 victims and injured 265 on May 11, 1985 . Then-Bradford chairman Heginbotham (left) was linked to eight other fires before the Valley Parade blaze, it has been claimed . Fletcher, a survivor of the blaze, spent 15 years researching the disaster in which his brother Andrew, 11, his father John, 34, his uncle Peter, 32, and his grandfather Eddie, 63, were all killed. He was 12 at the time and after painstaking investigation of public documents has published his findings in his book: 'Fifty-Six – The Story of the Bradford Fire', serialised in The Guardian. The fire broke out near half-time of Bradford's game against Lincoln on May 11, 1985, and was thought to have been started by a spark from a match or a cigarette dropped through a gap in the wooden frame of the main stand on to piles of rubbish which had been collecting for years. Within four minutes the stand was completely ablaze. The fire was thought to have been started by a spark from a match or a cigarette dropped through a gap in the wooden frame of the main stand .

Barclays chairman Sir David Walker defended the bank’s decision to pay out £1.86billion in bonuses . Furious Barclays shareholders vented frustration at the generous pay packages handed to hundreds of its top traders yesterday – with one investor asking: ‘What has their “talent” ever done for us?’ The scandal-hit lender faced a barrage of criticism from long-suffering investors, many of them pensioners, at its annual general meeting in London. Shareholders are reeling from big losses in their investments and pension funds as Barclays’ share price has plunged since the financial crisis. Last year its profits dropped again by 21 per cent to £2.3billion after it was hit by huge bills for wrongdoing. But yesterday chairman Sir David Walker defended the bank’s decision to pay out £1.86billion in bonuses, including packages of more than £1million to 359 employees. Group chief executive Antony Jenkins saw his pay package more than triple to £5.5million, after opting to accept a £1.1million bonus. Facing criticism over the pay package, Sir David claimed the bank needed to pay ‘competitively’ to attract the best talent. But the argument received short shrift from investors who have seen Barclays fork out billions for various scandals while the share price has fallen from £7 to just under £2.60. During the height of the financial crisis in 2009 they fell to 47p, leaving many savers who sold their shares with huge losses. Shareholder Phil Clarke said: ‘Employees should share the wealth created by great companies. My problem is what happens when there is no success – and there is limited success in this company.’ Referring to Monty Python’s ‘what have the Romans ever done for us’ sketch, Mr Clarke said: ‘I’d like to paraphrase Monty Python and ask what has all this “talent” done for us? ‘The answer is this talent has made losses for shareholders, destroyed value and dragged our reputation through the mud to the extent that banker has become a dirty word. Yet these people have enjoyed massive salaries and we’ve paid for it.’ At the meeting, Barclays’ bosses referred repeatedly to the moral values of the bank’s Quaker founders, with chairman Sir David describing how they ‘relied on their own hard work, pioneering spirit and moral code to become trusted figures in their communities’. Huge bonuses: Group chief executive Antony Jenkins saw his pay package more than triple to £5.5million, after accepting a £1.1million bonus. Sir David said the bank had to pay ‘competitively’ to attract the best talent . Billion pound bill: Barclays is currently waiting for a huge fine for manipulating the £3trillion-a-day foreign exchange market, and has set aside almost £1.3billion so far for the scandal . Rogue traders in London orchestrated a worldwide conspiracy to rig interest rates, landing Germany’s biggest bank with a record £1.7billion fine. Several banks have already been penalised after traders were caught manipulating Libor interest rates, which are used to set the cost of mortgages and are linked to trillions of dollars of investments around the world. So far total fines against banks including Barclays and Royal Bank of Scotland

Summary: Barclays shareholders angered by generous pay packages for top traders . Investors reeling as bank's share price has plunged since financial crisis . Bank has also been hit by huge bills for wrongdoing, with another coming . Chairman Sir David Walker defended pay out of £1.86billion in bonuses .


The FBI have released an image of a man they are trying to trace in connection with a sex abuse probe . Police have released images of an unidentified man they are trying to trace to help them rescue a young girl who is believed to be being abused. The FBI confirmed it found images of a 'pre-pubescent blonde girl' that appear to show her being sexually abused, which could have been taken 'in America or elsewhere.' Officials said one picture, which does not show any abuse taking place, features the unidentified man posing with her. They said they are trying to trace the man - referred to as John Doe 29 - because they believe he may have 'critical information' to help them identify the victim and her whereabouts to rescue her. Investigators stressed the dark-haired man, believed to be between the ages of 30 and 45, is not suspected of carrying out abuse. Amanda Strickland, special investigator at the FBI, said: 'We are trying to stop further continued abuse of this child. We believe that it is still ongoing.' Police said the child was seen in one of the photographs wearing blue and white Nike velcro sneakers. They confirmed John Doe 29 has a tan complexion and was pictured wearing a silver ring on his left hand ring fingers. Other pictures appear to show a different hand with a ring on the right hand. Initial images of the unidentified adult male, John Doe 29, shown with a child were first recorded by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in January of 2008. The pictures have been recently re-enhanced to try and identify the mystery man. The FBI released the appeal, with images of John Doe 29, and distinguishing features in a bid to get information . He is being sought as part of the FBI’s Operation Rescue Me and Endangered Child Alert Program (ECAP) initiatives which aim to find abuse victims. The FBI has released a poster and blog appealing for any information about the man. People are asked to submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov or call the FBI’s toll-free tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI. Investigators said a collection of photos were found showing the girl being abused, but in one which did not feature abuse John Doe is seen posing with the girl, and there is a close up of his hand (left). The FBI have placed the image of the unidentified man on the Endangered Child Alert pages of its website (right) Investigators also released images of the girl's white Nike shoe (left) and the location of the photo (right)

Summary: Investigators found photos of a young girl being sexually abused . FBI are trying to trace a man, who is not accused of carrying out abuse . He appears in image posing with the girl, but not abusing her . They want to find him to identify the girl and her abusers .


With summer around the corner, icy treats are back on the menu. But if there is one phase transition in which food can become frustrating – by giving us brain freeze and by getting painfully stuck to our mouths – then it is when it is frozen. As a fly – perhaps the creature you would least expect to be in this position – found out when it swooped in to have a lick of a frozen beef steak. The fly is initially featured looking rather pleased as it fastens its tongue onto the beef steak and has a taste . Like the infamous scene from Dumb and Dumber involving ice, a ski lift and a tongue, the fly becomes attached to the frozen food. Videoed up-close, the fly is initially captured enjoying itself as it fastens its big tongue onto the beef steak and has a taste. Satisfied, it then goes to fly away home when suddenly it notices that it is stuck and a sense of panic sets in. Realising that its tongue is stuck to the frozen beef steak, the fly begins squirming in its attempts to break free . Moving its legs, the fly at first attempts to walk away, before arching its back and trying with all its might to pull itself free. It tries this two more times, but much to its annoyance it stays attached to the beef steak as it stops to look at the camera. As the video goes on the fly tries harder and harder to set itself free – beating its legs, heaving itself backwards and twisting slightly. The fly tries hard to set itself free by beating its legs, heaving itself backwards and twisting slightly . But nothing seems to work and as it slumps, looking sorry for itself, all appears to have been lost. Luckily for the fly however, help emerges in the form of a human thumb, which attempts to set it free with a little prod. Failing this, the video maker then picks up a little heat gun and begins thawing out the ice around the fly and ultimately setting it free. The video was recorded in Auckland, New Zealand. The fly appears to give up hope but eventually the video maker intervenes and sets the creature free .

Summary: Fly initially looks satisfied as it tastes the frozen food . Before realising it is stuck and beating its legs in panic . It then attempts to free itself by heaving backwards . The filmmaker eventually helps it out with a heat gun . The footage was captured in Auckland, New Zealand .

These are the sneering faces of some of the 39 criminals currently on the run from a notorious open prison. Among their number are two murderers, as well as drug dealers and fraudsters. Some have been awol from Ford Open Prison for as long as 10 years, according to information only now released by the Ministry of Justice. One of the escapees from the 500-inmate jail, is violent killer Robert Donovan, 57. His disappearance only emerged last year, four years after he had walked out of the prison in Arundel, Sussex. AWOL: Murderer Robert Donovan, 57, left, is considered so dangerous that the public have been advised not to approach him. He disappeared from Ford in 2010, but it took the police four years to alert the public. Fellow murderer Derek Passmore, right, escaped in 2013 after being jailed for beating a disabled man to death in 1996 . Notorious: Ford Open Prison in Arundel, Sussex, was revealed to have the worst record for prison escapes . Murderer Derek Passmore, who beat to death a disabled man in 1996, is still at large after failing to return from day release in June 2013, despite a public appeal a month after his escape. Carer Tom Zolynski stole £10,000 from a pensioner he was supposed to be helping and was jailed for two years in May 2010, but left the prison without permission later that year and has yet to be caught. Goran Durdevic was jailed for 15 months in 2005, at age 28, for using a so-called 'Lebanese loop' to steal a man's credit card at a cash machine. He left the prison without permission in February 2006. In June last year Ford, near Arundel, was revealed to have the worst record for inmates vanishing, with a total of 89 prisoners on the run, dating back to one who had gone missing in the early 1960s. The Ministry of Justice has now responded to a Freedom of Information request and finally revealed the names of 29 missing since 2004 and outline details of a further ten. They include those who failed to return from temporary release and those who simply walked out without permission, known as 'absconds'. Among those who failed to return after a temporary release in June 2010 is 57-year-old Robert Donovan, who was convicted of stabbing a West End theatre manager to death. Police considered him so dangerous that he should not be approached by the public, but not a single appeal was made for help catching him until June last year. Donovan, who was jailed indefinitely at the Old Bailey in December 1974, had been in open conditions for less than a year when he absconded. Leacroft Wallace, left, vanished in 2011, he was jailed for possessing drugs with intent and Malek Riahi, right, was sent to prison for deception offences. He has not been seen since 2006 .

Amid renewed calls for FIFA to overturn the controversial decision to hand the 2022 World Cup to Qatar, new research by the Mail on Sunday has shown just how much the oil-rich Middle East state spent on deals — including legitimate trade deals — in the course of lobbying in the run-up to the 2010 vote. Qatar won the final round of voting 14-8 against the USA in the executive committee ballot. The MoS analysis suggests that Qatar spent an astonishing £17.2 billion directly and indirectly on the way to victory. Much of this outlay was on goods and services for Qatar — including aerospace orders, a football club, sponsorship agreements, land and general exposure. The details are in the accompanying panel. FIFA have been called upon to overturn the controversial decision to hand the 2022 World Cup to Qatar . New research by the Mail on Sunday has shown just how much the oil-rich Middle East state spent on deals — including legitimate trade deals — in the course of lobbying in the run-up to the 2010 vote . There were cash payments made from secret slush funds controlled by Mohammed bin Hammam . There were also millions of pounds of cash payments made to a huge range of football officials from secret slush funds controlled by Qatar’s executive committee member Mohammed bin Hammam. These payments and swathes of new detail about how Bin Hammam won the right for Qatar to host the event are detailed in a book published last week, The Ugly Game, by investigative journalists Heidi Blake and Jonathan Calvert. Former FIFA head of security Chris Eaton has called for any new evidence to be considered by FIFA — even though he now works for Qatar. And a high-level group of European politicians — the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe — has approved a resolution calling on FIFA to re-run the ‘illegal’ bidding process.

You probably won’t realise they are coming until it’s too late. Tiny robots, the size of an A4 sheet, are being programmed to lift cars that are up to two tonnes in weight. Working together, these creepy machines are able to sneak up unnoticed and silently remove their target from the scene. Tiny robots, the size of an A4 sheet, are being programmed to lift cars that are up to two tons in weight . The robots, collectively called Avert, are the creation of a European consortium led by the Democritus University of Thrace in Greece. A ‘Autonomous Multi-Robot System for Vehicle Extraction and Transportation’ (Avert) computer first selects a vehicle to be moved after cameras have mapping the area in detail. The Avert system then works by sending a deployment unit to scan the area again and identify new potential obstacles. Once this has been done, bogies deploy from the depolyment unit and are tracked to a target vehicle, where they dock onto the wheels and lift the car. The robots, collectively called Avert, are the creation of a European consortium led by the Democritus University of Thrace in Greece . These bogies are fitted with on-board sensors, including two lasers and a digital camera. The sensors help the Avert tool move the vehicle without human intervention, while avoiding obstacles. While the system may seem creepy, it could have important applications for bomb disposal teams. Researchers envisage the system being used by the police to remove suspicious vehicles, potentially rigged with explosives, from within buildings. ‘Current methods of bomb disruption and neutralisation are hindered in the event that the device is shielded, blocked or for whatever reason cannot be accessed for examination,’ the researcher wrote on their site. Intel CEO Brian Krzanich revealed a terrifying glimpse of the future - a swarm of robot spiders . Intel has shown of a terrifying glimpse of the future - a swarm of robot spiders that can be controlled with a flick of the wrist. At the chip giant's developers forum in China, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich revealed the demonstration to show off the firm's button sized computed and controller wristband. He was able to cause lights on the robots to change shape, and control their movement from the bans. The robots were powered by Curie, a computer the size of a button developed by Intel. 'The Intel Curie module is a tiny hardware product based on the Intel Quark SE system chip, which is the company's first purpose-built system on a chip for wearable devices,' the firm said. It contains Bluetooth low-energy radio, sensors and battery charging technologies. Krzanich said that there's a dedicated sensor hub processor and pattern classification engine that allows it, for example, to identify different sporting activities quickly and precisely. ‘Avert can provide an autonomous capability to remove blocking vehicles which is not currently available.’ Other uses could include removing cars parked in a tight spot or helping vehicles move within a car park without a driver. The team has been working on the technology since 2012 and believes

Motorists could be hit with a hike in fuel duty if Labour gets into power, Harriet Harman has admitted. The deputy Labour leader has refused to rule out above-inflation increases in taxes on fuel, alcohol, tobacco or air fares. Asked if the party would raise the levy on petrol, she told LBC Radio: ‘We rule out increasing VAT, the basic or the higher rate of tax, we will put up the top rate of tax, we will not put up the national insurance rates. Motorists could be hit with a hike in fuel duty if Labour gets into power, Harriet Harman has admitted . ‘For all the other taxes that there are – you know, airport taxes, I can’t remember what they are called, airport passenger duties, or alcohol duties or tobacco or petrol – we will lay that out in the Budget.’ Chancellor George Osborne yesterday said the remarks showed Labour would bring back the ‘fuel duty escalator’, which raised the levy by the level of inflation plus 1p per litre, scrapped by the Coalition in 2011. He said: ‘Now we know. Ed Miliband will put up taxes on hardworking people. It’s clear he is planning to bring back the last Labour government’s “fuel duty escalator” – the petrol tax that ratcheted up the cost of filling up your tank, all to pay for ever higher spending on welfare and waste. ‘One by one, we are finding out the £3,028 of tax rises for working families Ed Miliband is planning. He must now come clean and set out what the others are.’ Miss Harman was asked to rule out raising fuel duty by Education Secretary Nicky Morgan during a women leaders’ debate on LBC. Chancellor George Osborne yesterday said the remarks showed Labour would bring back the ‘fuel duty escalator’, which raised the levy by the level of inflation plus 1p per litre, scrapped by the Coalition in 2011 . Mrs Morgan said Mr Osborne’s freeze in fuel duty, which has been extended for four and a-half years, had saved the average motorist £680 and was one of the Coalition Government’s biggest achievements. Fuel duty has been frozen for a fifth year in succession, allowing the Chancellor to boast that motorists have had ‘£10 off a tank with the Tories’. Mr Osborne’s announcement in the Budget last month means a 0.54p-per-litre duty rise planned for September 1 will not go ahead. And the freezing of duty over the five years of the Coalition means the average driver spends £10 less per fill-up than if the controversial ‘fuel-price escalator’ had been implemented in full. Between 2011 and 2016, a typical motorist will have saved £675, the Treasury calculated. The planned fuel duty rise by the RPI rate of inflation on September 2015 would have increased the current duty rate by 0.54p per litre – from the current 57.95p to 58.49p. For an average family car fill-up of 55 litres, this would have increased the cost by 30p. The RAC said the above-inflation fuel duty ‘escalator’ that operated between 1993 and 1999 ‘is

Graeme Dott fears exhaustion will kill off his hopes of winning snooker’s Betfred World Championship. The 37-year-old, a qualifier this year, survived a series of twitches close to the winning line before clinching a 10-8 first-round victory over Ricky Walden at the Crucible in Sheffield on Sunday. He bungled a yellow but was reprieved when Walden blazed the green off the table. And although Walden looked for snookers, his tournament was over once Dott dropped in the blue. Dott, who is through to the last 16, remains aggrieved by having to play three best-of-19-frame matches just to get to the main draw. The previous format meant a player of his standing had just one to negotiate. Graeme Dott celebrates after booking his place in the second round of the World Championships .

It’s nice to know you can still do it at the Crucible.’ Meanwhile, John Higgins impressed with a 10-5 victory over Robert Milkins, and looked to be approaching the form that last saw him take the last of his four world titles in 2011. Milkins said of his conqueror: ‘It’s going to take a good man to beat him on that form. I did well to get five frames.’ John Higgins impressed with a 10-5 victory over Robert Milkins in his first-round clash in Sheffield .

Detectives investigating the cold-case murder of a mother-of-three who was battered to death in her own home in 1995 believe new DNA evidence could help solve the mystery. Janet Brown was found naked, gagged with packing tape with her arms cuffed behind her back at the foot of the stairs of her family home in Radnage, near Chinnor in Buckinghamshire. Mrs Brown's two daughters Roxanne, 38, and Zara, 43, described their hother as a 'kind and loving nurse' claiming the horror of the crime 'stays with us every day. Janet Brown, pictured, was murdered at her family home 20 years ago by an unknown assailant . Builders found Mrs Brown's naked body dumped at the bottom of the stairs of her home, pictured . The killer handcuffed Mrs Brown's hands behind her back hand gagged her with packing tape . Mrs Brown's body was found on April 10, 1995. According to the Brown sisters: 'She was attacked and killed in our family home - a place where we should all be safe.' They said they believed that their mother's murder had been pre-planned. On the night she was killed, Mrs Brown was home alone. Her two daughters and her son Benedict, then 21, had gone out. The following day, the 51-year-old nurse's naked body was found at the foot of the stairs by builders who had turned up to do work on the detached house in Sprigs Holly Lane, Radnage near Chinnor in Buckinghamshire. A post mortem revealed she died of head injuries, which detectives believe were probably inflicted by a blunt instrument like a crowbar. The motive remains unclear with police describing the circumstances of the crime as 'unusual', adding they 'keeping an open mind'. One possible line of inquiry was that it had been a break-in gone wrong, but while a window was broken and the burglar alarm triggered, nothing was taken from the home. There was also no evidence Mrs Brown had been sexually assaulted. Peter Beirne, right, of the cold case squad and Mrs Brown's daughters Roxanne, centre and Zara, right, appealed for information about the 'heinous' crime revealing forensics experts now had the suspect's DNA . There was no evidence of a sexual assault at the crime scene in Radnage in Buckinghamshire, pictured . Members of Mrs Brown's family, pictured, made a similar appeal 20 years ago following her brutal murder . Detectives said that whomever the attacker was had brought the hand-cuffs and tape used to restrain Mrs Brown along with them. Despite what police called a 'thorough and professional investigation' at the time the killer has eluded capture, leaving her broken-hearted family without justice. In a bid to finally find the culprit, detectives turned to modern scientific techniques to analyse clues found at the time. Peter Beirne, the head of Thames Valley Police's major crime investigation review team, revealed a DNA sample belonging to an unknown person had now been successfully extracted. 'These new tests have produced a DNA sample,' he said. 'It does not belong to the family and we believe it could be

ISIS has publicly beheaded six men accused of exploding a car bomb 'which killed innocent people' in the Syrian city of al-Mayadin. The terrorist group's latest barbaric video shows a large crowd gathering to watch the bloody execution of the men it claims are soldiers fighting for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. They are all marched to a small wooden stump and instructed to kneel, before an Islamic State militant carries out brutal retaliation by taking their heads off with a sharpened blade. Scroll down for video . Murderous: A gruesome video has emerged showing a masked Jihadi (pictured) beheading six men accused by Islamic State of exploding a car bomb in a Syrian city it controls .

The beginning of the six-minute long propaganda video - posted online on April 5 - depicts a seemingly normal day in the ISIS-held territory in eastern Syria. Men gather to pray at a local mosque, shackled captives are herded into the backs of trucks and men are flogged in public for unknown crimes. The footage sharply cuts to the complete destruction of an al-Mayadin neighbourhood where locals frantically retrieve body parts from the rubble, extinguish fires and carry the wounded to shelter. An announcer then tells a furious horde the men are Alawites, a derogatory term used by Islamist fundamentalists to describe President Assad's soldiers.

Daniel Ricciardo has called for a back-to-basics approach for Red Bull to forge a return to the front of the grid. Second best to Mercedes last season after a run of four successive championship triumphs, Red Bull have struggled at the start of this year. To rub salt into the wounds, Red Bull even found themselves trailing 'sister' team Toro Rosso at the last race in Malaysia. Daniel Ricciardo in action during practice for this weekend's Chinese Grand Prix . The Australian driver has urged his Red Bull team to go back to basics after a troubled start to 2015 . The main gripe has centred on power-unit supplier Renault, with billionaire benefactor Dietrich Mateschitz suggesting this week he could pull his team out of the sport if matters fail to improve. Ahead of this weekend's grand prix in China, Ricciardo concedes Red Bull are exploring numerous avenues to correct the problems. The Australian managed to finish third quickest in practice, a second behind reigning champion Lewis Hamilton in his Mercedes and four tenths of a second adrift of Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen. 1. Lewis Hamilton Mercedes 1:37.219 . 2. Kimi Raikkonen Ferrari 1:37.662 . 3. Daniel Ricciardo Red Bull - Renault 1:38.311 . 4. Sebastian Vettel Ferrari 1:38.339 . 5. Nico Rosberg Mercedes 1:38.399 . 6. Daniil Kvyat Red Bull - Renault 1:38.737 . 7. Valtteri Bottas Williams-Mercedes 1:38.850 . 8. Felipe Nasr Sauber - Ferrari 1:39.032 . 9. Romain Grosjean Lotus - Mercedes 1:39.142 . 10. Jenson Button McLaren 1:39.275 . 11. Pastor Maldonado Lotus - Mercedes 1:39.444 . 12. Fernando Alonso McLaren 1:39.743 . 13. Marcus Ericsson Sauber - Ferrari 1:39.751 . 14.

Felipe Massa Williams-Mercedes 1:40.423 . 18. Sergio Perez Force India - Mercedes 1:40.868 . 19. Roberto Merhi Marussia - Ferrari 1:42.973 . 20. Will Stevens Marussia - Ferrari 1:44.564 . 'We are experimenting with a few things, but I think for now we have to go back to what we know, get our basics right,' said Ricciardo. 'We have done quite a bit. In Malaysia we had brake issues, a lot of overheating, so we have reverted back on a few things, even from last year which we knew was more efficient. 'Just because it's from last year it doesn't mean it's not better, so I guess we have taken a step back in that direction. The team has done quite a lot to rectify some issues and get us further up the grid.' Ricciardo has no doubt Renault are also pulling their weight, adding: 'From Melbourne to Malaysia they made a pretty massive step with driveability. 'We also have a few more software things this weekend, which should give things another pretty significant step on that side. 'I appreciate what everyone is doing to get us back towards the front, so fingers crossed it can be put together in the right way this weekend and if so we

Summary: Red Bull have endured a difficult start to the new Formula One campaign . Daniel Ricciardo was third quickest during practice for the Chinese GP . The Australian's Red Bull team-mate Daniil Kvyat was sixth fastest . But his brakes caught fire and he was forced to stop on track .

Now 41, Randall won parole Thursday at his first hearing - he won't be released until after June 4.

On May 1, 1990, Randall and Flynn entered the Smarts' Derry condominium and forced Gregg Smart to his knees in the foyer. As Randall held a knife to the man's throat, Flynn fired a hollow-point bullet into his head. The trial was a media circus and one of the first high-profile cases about a sexual affair between a school staff member and student. It inspired the Joyce Maynard novel 'To Die For,' which in turn was made into a movie starring Nicole Kidman. Murdered: Smart's husband, Gregory Smart (seen on their wedding day), was shot in the head in May 1990 . Randall and Flynn pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and after plea bargains eventually got sentences of 28 years to life. In March 2009, a judge knocked three years off Randall's sentence over the objection of prosecutors who noted that he was involved in a jailhouse assault 15 years before. The judge said Randall's record otherwise had been spotless and that he had shown extreme remorse. Two other teenagers served prison sentences and have been released. Pamela Smart, who was 22 when her husband was killed, was convicted of being an accomplice to first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without the chance of parole. She has admitted seducing the boy but said she didn't plan her husband's

A couple who suffered five devastating miscarriages and lost their six-month-old son because he was born prematurely finally have the family they dreamed of after his sister acted as a surrogate. Pritesh, 36 and Mansi Gandhi, 35, started trying for a baby ten years ago but repeatedly lost the baby due to a medical condition. Mansi, from Feltham, London, did manage to become pregnant and gave birth in 2007 but Khushi was so premature he died after a six-month fight for life. However, Pritesh's sister Hiral Shah, 32, stepped in and offered to carry the couple's baby - and after IVF treatment, gave birth to Krish three weeks ago after a 20-minute labour. Mansi did manage to eventually become pregnant and gave birth in 2007 but the boy, Khushi, was so premature he died after a six-month fight for life, so they Krish was a miracle for them . Pritesh and Manis, a supermarket worker, met through family friends in 2001 and the smitten pair got married a year later, and began trying for a baby after three years. Manis fell pregnant in 2007, but Khushi was born with brain haemorrhages and died aged six months in May 2007 and after spending most of his short life in hospital. Doctors investigated and Mansi was diagnosed with cervical insufficiency - premature dilation of the cervix due to the weight of a growing baby. The couple continued to attempt to have a baby, but suffered miscarriages at 18 weeks in 2008, 14 weeks in 2009, 18 weeks in 2010. Doctors put stitches in Mansi's cervix in a bid to keep it closed, but tragically they also lost a further two babies in the early weeks of pregnancy in 2012 and 2013. Mansi said: 'I gave up on any hopes of having a child of my own after losing six babies. 'It's heartbreaking to lose even one baby whereas in my case I lost six babies and that made me feel awful about myself. 'I started hating myself and always thought why can't I have a baby when everyone around me is blessed with one.' Pritesh and Mansi Gandhi finally welcomed a baby boy, Krish, after losing six babies, after Pritesh's sister Hiral acted as a surrogate.

'I couldn't put Mansi through any more pain and I was worried that if we tried for any longer Mansi would get depressed. 'I didn't want anything to happen to her so we gave up. 'We thought "it's OK, we are not meant to have children, let us just assume that God hasn't written a child into our fate."' The heartbroken pair had given up hope of ever having a family when Hiral offered to carry their baby - despite having a six-month-old son of her own. They called a family meeting and promised to do all they could to support Hiral, who already had a son Ronav, now one, with husband Amish, 33, an engineer.

The most popular cities in the world are often instantly recognisable thanks to their world-famous landmarks. But what would these cities look like if they did not have their prized attractions? That's what one studio asked its designers, and the images it received back were certainly illuminating. Scroll down for video . Without the 324m-high Eiffel Tower in Paris, the skyline looks incredibly bare and dark, which is not surprising considering it has 336 lamps illuminating it at night . The iconic tower, on the Champ de Mars, was opened in 1889 and has come to define the French capital . The Arc De Triomphe was constructed in 1806, and is the centrepiece of Place Charles de Gaulle at the end of the Champs-Élysées . The imposing monument celebrates France's military glories and also its military heroes - tourists can climb up tot the roof for beautiful views of Paris . Virtual studio DesignCrowd invited people to submit before and after graphics of some of the most well known landscapes as we have never seen them before. Nearly 100 submissions have been created, with a number of them focusing on the 300m-high Eiffel Tower in their creations . The startling absence of the giant tower left the landscape feeling bare and flat, although it did allow for views from the Trocadéro Gardens, through to the Champ de Mars. More missing features in Paris included the impressive Arc De Triomphe. Instead of leading to the famous centrepiece, the multiple surrounding roads meet at a bare, round circle. Without the Statue of Liberty to draw boats of tourists, Liberty Island looks forlorn and barren. All that remains of the island is the paved stone where the iconic colossal neoclassical sculpture stood. The Statue of Liberty draws boats of tourists every day, but without the iconic lady, Liberty Island looks nothing special . Siena Cathedral is a medieval church in Siena, Italy that has been around since 1215. Its spires and towers peek over the city . The River Thames looks just like any other river with the elegant Tower Bridge stretching across the waterway . The iconic Tower Bridge is featured in nearly every London tourist shop and often mistakenly referred to by visitors as London Bridge . Designers imaged what London would look like without its most photographed clocktower and Westminster Palace . The Palace of Westminster is more commonly known as the Houses of Parliament, with both the House of Commons and House of Lords based in the Gothic-style waterfront building . London's attractions draw millions of tourists every year, but there would be a lot less photographs taken in the city if Big Ben was not a feature on the skyline. It is said to be the most photographed clock in the world, and would not be easy to remove, sitting at over 13 tons. The sunset skyline looks empty without the impressive architecture of the Palace of Westminster. The banks of River Yamuna, in Agra, look desolate with the majestic presence of the Taj Mahal . The Taj Mahal is

Summary: DesignCrowd created a project to imagine cities without famous landmarks . The virtual design studio has over 450,000 designers who contribute . Designs included Rio without Christ the Redeemer and Hollywood without its famous hill-side sign .
