A super-fertile dental nurse is being hailed a hero after helping scores of childless couples try to conceive - by donating 50 eggs. Mother-of-two Kelly Parsons, from Morden, south west London, has already enabled two couples to have twins and another woman give birth to a boy, thanks to her willingness to go through the painful donation procedure. In the space of 11 months, the 35-year-old's eggs have become twin girls, twin boys and a baby boy. Kelly Parsons, 35, from London (pictured with daughters Emily, four, (left) and 11-year-old Charlotte (right) has donate 50 of her eggs to help childless couples conceive . Kelly said: 'Despite the pain, it was worth it to bring joy to families that would never be able to have kids naturally. 'To have the urge to have kids and not be able to have them must be heartbreaking. I'm only a little part of making these babies. 'I am sure the parents will probably curse me in the middle of the night when they have to do bottle feeds.' Kelly and her train dispatcher husband Dean, 41, had a daughter, Charlotte, now 11, in 2003. After eight years of trying and three heartbreaking miscarriages, Kelly gave birth to daughter Emily in January 2011. Kelly then decided to start donating her eggs to other childless couples, in a bid to help as many families share the joys of children. Kelly and her husband Dean, 41, (second right) struggled for eight years to conceive Emily, with Kelly suffering three heartbreaking miscarriages . She said: 'I wanted the eggs to go to a husband and wife so that the kids would be raised in a similar environment to our family - after all, these eggs could have been my children. 'Dean wasn't totally on board but because I have supported him through so many crazy things, he knew it was my turn. 'You can only donate your eggs until you are 35, and because I was 33 at the time I felt like the clock was ticking.' Kelly injected herself twice a day with drugs to stop her period and stimulate her ovaries, and after a few months she will have stored up enough for them to be harvested. She said: 'After the first time I donated eggs I was knackered but so happy I'd done it. Kelly injected herself twice a day with drugs to stop her period and stimulate her ovaries . In all, the nurse has donated eggs three times, leading to three successful pregnancies - twin boys, twin girls, and a baby boy . 'A week later I got a call to say five of them had been fertilised and two had been implanted into the mum-to-be. 'They'd also frozen the others so they could have more kids in the future. 'From then on I was on tenterhooks, hoping her body would accept the embryos. 'Although I knew nothing about the couple, I really felt a connection to them.' In all, Kelly has donated eggs three times, leading to three successful pregnancies. Also, a number

Depraved militants fighting for the Islamic State in Iraq have savagely beheaded a man accused of practising sorcery and witchcraft. Harrowing images of the killing are being shared by bloodthirsty supporters of the terror group on social media and show the victim lying in a pool of blood with his severed head resting on his back. One of those distributing the sickening pictures is a man claiming to be a British militant fighting for the terror group who goes by the nom de guerre Abu Bakr al-Britani. The gruesome photographs are understood to have been taken near Tikrit in Iraq's Salah al-Din province, where members of the Iraqi Army and allied Shiite volunteer militias have had great success in forcing the terrorists to withdraw in recent weeks. Scroll down for video . Sick: This photograph shows the blindfolded and bound man wearing a brown jumpsuit as a bearded terrorist lifts an 18-inch long kukri machete high into the air ready to behead the defenceless victim . Harrowing: This image - far too gruesome to publish in full - shows a close-up of the man's lifeless body, with his severed head resting on his back and surrounded by prayer beads . The exact crime the beheading victim is accused of committing is not known, but images of his violent death were uploaded to Twitter saying he was a 'sorcerer'. Terror: One of those distributing the images is a man claiming to be a British ISIS jihadi who goes by the nom de guerre Abu Bakr al-Britani . The first photo shows the blindfolded and bound man wearing a brown jumpsuit as a bearded terrorist lifts an 18-inch long kukri machete high into the air ready to behead the defenceless victim. A second image far too gruesome to publish in full then shows a close-up of the man's lifeless body, with his severed head resting on his back. It is the exactly the same position British and American hostages are placed in after being savagely beheaded by ISIS' British executioner in chief Mohammed Emwazi, also known as Jihadi John. Surrounding the man's lifeless body are dozens of brightly-coloured prayer beads. It is likely the man had been selling the items, which ISIS terrorists consider bid’ah, meaning a 'reprehensible innovation'. As is so often the case with ISIS' brutal public executions and amputations, huge crowds are seen in the streets to witness the man's beheading. Young men and children and seen lining up in a town square and jostling for position as they struggle to get a better view of the atrocity.

Between the bad behaviour and the bad advice, Raheem Sterling is not exactly endearing himself to potential suitors right now. Hippy crack and shisha pipes, mixed in with accusations of greed after being encouraged by his agent to reject Liverpool’s offer of close to £100,000-a-week, might not be quite enough to send rival clubs running. After all, as Liverpool know only too well, you can bite and racially abuse opponents and still secure a move to Barcelona. But the evidence is sure to be a concern when the world’s richest clubs assess the character as much as the class of an individual before parting with the £40million upwards Liverpool will demand to secure the services of a player like Sterling. Liverpool players Raheem Sterling and Jordon Ibe (left) have been pictured smoking a shisha pipe . This is the second time Sterling has been pictured smoking from a shisha pipe in the past few days . The recent images of Sterling will be a concern to clubs considering parting with £40million to sign the star . Luis Suarez secured a move to Barcelona despite being involved in a number of incidents on the pitch . English football would appear to have yet another flawed talent, another player seemingly lacking the wit to make best use of the ability he has been blessed with. There is a reason why we rarely see the finest players on the planet caught in as compromising a position as Sterling found himself on Monday night. Becoming as good as Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo — Gareth Bale even — requires more than ability alone. It requires the kind of professionalism and dedication that seems to be absent in English players too often photographed smoking or indulging in legal highs. As the latest photographs show, this is not an isolated incident and he will be lectured on the dangers of nitrous oxide when he meets with Brendan Rodgers tomorrow. It is more of a health issue than an image issue for Liverpool’s manager, as Sterling did at least opt for the privacy of his own home to suck on a balloon filled with nitrous oxide — unlike Tottenham’s Kyle Walker, for instance. But Rodgers will also suggest to the unsettled 20-year-old that he needs to select his friends more carefully given the emergence of the video in the first place. Ibe was also pictured smoking shisha with Sterling in fresh pictures that will further embarrass Liverpool . It appears that Liverpool stars Sterling and Ibe had a shisha pipe apiece and were also drinking Fanta . Sterling celebrates after scoring Liverpool's opening goal in Monday night's 2-0 win over Newcastle United .

FA chairman Greg Dyke revealed on Wednesday night that Harry Kane has informed England he wants to play for his country in the European U21 Championships. Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino would prefer Kane to rest at the end of his first full campaign rather than compete in the tournament in the Czech Republic. Spurs and England have been in talks for some time without reaching an agreement. Tottenham forward Harry Kane has been in superb form this season, netting 30 goals for the club so far . Kane scores Tottenham's third goal during the 3-1 win against Newcastle United at St James' Park last week . FA Chairman Greg Dyke (left) stands with Reading chairman John Madejski during the FA Cup semi-final . Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino would like Kane to be rested at the end of his breakthrough season . Dyke, however, said: 'I got a call from Harry Kane's agent recently just to say how much he enjoyed playing for England recently and how much he wants to play for the U21s this year in the Euros and that's important. 'If you're a young English boy coming through the system you should want to play for England.' It was part of a St George's Day message from the FA chairman designed to strengthen the bond between England's patron saint and its football team. 'England has the best football team in the British Isles and if England as a football team does well then England is a united country,' Dyke said. 'Football plays a big part in England and should play a big part in St George's Day.' Kane, with 30 goals for Spurs this season and one on his England debut last month, is due to join Tottenham's end-of-season trip Malaysia and Australia. He is scheduled to return at the start of June and, if he is part of Gareth Southgate's U21 squad, he could be away on international duty until the start of July, after which he will need a break and would miss the start of Pochettino's pre-season plans. Kane scored on his senior England debut against Lithuania in March, continuing his fine form this term . England, meanwhile, have pulled out of the annual Victory Shield U16 tournament for the home nations in an effort to save an estimated £120,000 a year. Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England have contested the trophy every year since 1947 but the FA announced it will withdraw for the foreseeable future. They are keen to target more fixtures against stronger European nations – and Dyke is reviewing costs to find £30million for his grassroots revolution. Earlier this month, Sportsmail revealed the England non-league team, known as England C, was under threat from these cuts. Dyke has revealed that Kane wants to play for England's Under 21s side at the European Championships .

FA chairman Greg Dyke has revealed that Kane wants to play for England's Under 21s side at the European Championships this summer . However, Tottenham are concerned about the striker overplaying .


A hotel owner believes he has found the perfect solution for revitalising his flagging business - by converting it into a swingers' paradise. Jon Huxley, 46, hopes to cash in on the Fifty Shades of Grey effect and attract guests from the gay and swinging communities at his hotel Westward Ho! in Folkestone, Kent. He plans to install sex swings, bondage rooms and dungeons and have rooms of differing sizes to cater for couples and multiple groups. Jon Huxley, standing outside his hotel Westward Ho! in Folkestone, Kent, is looking at 'developing' his premises to cater for swingers . He hopes the craze in Fifty Shades of Grey, starring Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey and Dakota Johnson as his object of affection Anastasia Steele, can help transform his business. He said: 'We have plans to attract tourists from the gay and swinging community for short breaks and weekends of adult fun. 'Obviously a lot of equipment will need to be installed like swings, bondage rooms, red room of pain and dungeons of delight. 'We would be having these events each weekend and accepting tourist guests during the week. 'Food and drink will be provided as part of an all-inclusive hotel package and it would be a civilised and friendly environment.' Mr Huxley will be hoping to recreate scenes like this from the hit film Fifty Shades of Grey . Clothing will be optional and privacy for our guests will therefore need to be ensured. 'It is not intended to be a seedy or dirty business. It is a respected clientele who enjoy taking their clothes off.' Mr Huxley said he has decided to appeal to the swinging community after rowing with the council over the use of Grade-II listed building. Jon Huxley hopes the change in hotel ethos can see his business grow . For months he had been in a dispute with Shepway District Council over complaints about its use as a house of multiple occupation for homeless people. Councillors voted for an enforcement notice after neighbours complained of anti-social behaviour. Mr Huxley said the complaints had been about anti-social behaviour and noise from the street rather than from inside the property. He said he would not need a council entertainments licence because there would be no live entertainment, loud music or dancing. Asked what locals might think of his plans he said: 'I do not involve myself in what happens behind their closed doors and they should not involve themselves in what happens behind mine. 'I have bills to pay and the income has to come from somewhere. They have seen fit to take away my current source of guests so I have to look for other sources. 'I can't attract tourists because there isn't a market for it anymore and that is a fact I have to deal with. 'This is a growing market and I can't think of any other market that is growing at the rate of this one. 'Fifty Shades of Grey has been a phenomenal success and this is a sleeping giant in terms of

Sixth-seeded Tomas Berdych overwhelmed Gael Monfis 6-1, 6-4 Saturday to reach the final of the Monte Carlo Masters for the first time. Berdych immediately took control from the baseline and Monfils struggled to cope with the fast pace imposed by the big-hitting Czech. Monfils won just 11 points in a lopsided first set before the Frenchman changed his strategy, using more sliced shots to break up his opponent's rhythm. Tomas Berdych has reached the Monte Carlo Masters final for the first time in his career . The sixth-seed defeated Frenchman Gael Monfis 6-1, 6-4 on Saturday to secure his place in the final . The move paid off early in the second set when Monfils broke back to level at 1-1 as Berdych made two forehand errors. Monfils failed to build on the momentum, though, dropping his next service game as his hopes of becoming the first French player in 15 years to make the final at the Country Club vanished. 'It's always difficult when I'm up against Tomas, I can't find the proper way to play him,' said the 14th-seeded Monfils after his sixth loss in seven matches against the Czech. 'Hopefully I'll find the solution one day.' Monfils, who was a wild-card entry this week after recovering from a hip injury sooner than expected, added that his poor percentage on his first serve was a decisive factor. 'But even when I served well, he was returning hard and deep,' Monfils said. 'He reads my serve very well.' Chasing a second Masters title 10 years after he made his breakthrough at the Paris Masters, Berdych will face either Rafael Nadal or top-ranked Novak Djokovic in the final.

Monfils won just 11 points in a lopsided first set as he struggled to cope with the big-hitting Czech . After dictating from the baseline in the first set, he was able to raise his game when Monfils looked capable of coming back. He fended off two consecutive break points in the sixth game of second set with authority, following up two big serves with powerful forehands.

Kingsholm transformed into the House of Fun on Saturday night as Gloucester beat Exeter to set up a Challenge Cup final against Edinburgh. The Cherry and Whites delivered their most complete performance of the campaign to earn a place at the Twickenham Stoop - where they will compete for their first European title since 2006. Victory in the capital would also earn the West Country side a home play-off spot for next season’s Champions Cup – however they would be forced to find an alternative venue for the fixture because of a pre-arranged Madness concert in front of The Shed. Gloucester centre Bill Meakes celebrates after he scored the opening try for his side at Kingsholm . Gloucester lock Mariano Galarza wins a lineout as his pack look to set up another attack . ‘It’s going to be a huge final,’ said Gloucester director of rugby David Humphreys. ‘It gives us the opportunity to take something meaningful from the season.’ It was a season-defining night for Gloucester, whose mediocre Aviva Premiership campaign has fizzled out. They played with intent and purpose, establishing a foothold at the scrum to supplement their hard running around the corner. But they were unable to capitalise on early territory, drawing 3-3 after half an hour. Greig Laidlaw had opened the scoring and – to the tune of ‘cheat, cheat, cheat’ after he craftily moved his kicking tee closer to the posts – Henry Slade levelled from 40 metres. Cherry and Whites flanker Sione Kalamafoni is tackled by Chiefs openside Kai Horstmann . Gloucester loose-head Nick Wood managed to get underneath Anglo-Welsh prop Tomas Francis, who was so impressive against Northampton, to establish scrum dominamce. Enjoying territory and possession, Bill Meakes scored off a deft grubber kick from James Hook, with further penalties putting the hosts 13-6 up at half-time. Jack Nowell suffered a nasty gash through his scrum cap – adding to recent debate about the effectiveness of protective headgear – and his side edged back with six more points from Slade’s boot. But Gloucester responded with a short-range try from Tom Savage and another penalty from Laidlaw. Elvis Taione and Jonny May exchanged further tries but – with the game finishing well into Saturday night because of the late kick-off – it was Gloucester who were left to enjoy the party. Exeter flanker Dave Ewers takes on Gloucester's Matt Kvesic (left) and Greig Laidlaw .

Summary: Gloucester scored tries though Bill Meakes, Tom Savage and Jonny May . Exeter replied through a solitary Elvis Taione touchdown . The Cherry and Whites will contest their first European title since 2006 .


Warren Sapp was charged with soliciting prostitution and two counts of assault in February . Warren Sapp made many highlight-reel plays during the course of his Hall of Fame career, but the former NFL star might be better remembered for his off-field exploits thanks to a new video. Sapp was arrested the night after the Super Bowl in Phoenix, Arizona, on a prostitution charge after an alleged incident involving two women. In a police video released on Monday, Sapp, 42, cries, cackles and confesses about what exactly went down back on February 2 in the Renaissance Hotel. In the video obtained by TMZ, Sapp admits he paid for oral sex and that 'everyone got naked' after he 'put $600 on the table' in his hotel room. The two women who were arrested along with Sapp were Britney Osbourne, 23, and 34-year-old Quying Boyd. Sapp continued: 'We're in the bed and I start taking pictures of the two ladies naked and doing what they're doing. 'So I'm taking pictures because I'm silly like that sometimes.'

Britney Osbourne, 23 (left), and Quying Boyd, 34 (right), were both arrested in Phoenix along with Sapp . The incident allegedly took place very early on February 2 at the Renaissance Hotel in Phoenix, Arizona . He told police one of them began performing oral sex on him - they stayed safe and used a condom - but the other annoyed him by chatting. When it became too much, Sapp told her: 'Why don't you use your mouth on me, instead of using it. 'Just go. Just move. Your girl’s doing a good job. I’ll be done with her in a minute.’ After Sapp asked to have sex, the woman who was performing oral sex asked for a tip. That request apparently prompted an argument and the first video of the interview ended. In surveillance video that was taken in the hotel lobby, Sapp (left) can be seen walking and talking with a man . In the second clip, Sapp is informed he will be going to jail and then left alone in the room. He began repeating, 'Oh my God. Oh my God' before asking: 'Are you kidding me?' In between cackles and sobs, Sapp added: 'I'm going to be booked as a John. 'I gotta go to jail?' Police became involved after a female contacted them and said she had been assaulted. Both women had minor injuries that were consistent with a struggle, but Sapp denied he assaulted them. Sapp was fired from his job at the NFL network and could get six months in jail and three years probation if he is convicted. He was charged with soliciting prostitution and two counts of assault. Sapp was inducted into the Football Hall of Fame in 2013 - his first year of eligibility. He is 42 . Osbourne is facing a prostitution charge of her own while Boyd was cited for

Lucky: Selena Dicker, 38, outran the avalanche on Mount Everest in the wake of the Nepal quake . A British climber has cheated death on Everest for the second time in a year, it emerged last night. As rescuers faced a desperate race against time to airlift stranded climbers off the world's highest peak after the devastating earthquake on Saturday night, Selina Dicker described how she ran for her life as a wall of snow and ice tore through Base Camp. Miss Dicker, 38, from London, was at the same camp on April 18 last year when an avalanche killed 16 Sherpas who were climbing ahead of her group. The tragedy forced Miss Dicker, head of lending for finance company Europa Capital Mezzanine, to abandon her first attempt on the summit. Miss Dicker – who was in the same climbing party as Google executive Dan Fredinburg, who died in Saturday's avalanche – described the ordeal in a satellite phone call to her mother Gail Dicker at her home in Ranworth, Norfolk. Mrs Dicker, 61, said: 'She's a very lucky girl. I just want to see her home. Others in her group tried to out-run it and one of them was killed and two were seriously hurt.' Miss Dicker, who was born with a cleft palate, had been trying to raise £45,000 for Operation Smile, which provides surgery for children with the condition. Her mother said: 'She wanted to go back and have another go. I tried to talk her out of it as any mother would, but she is a determined and independent woman of 38 and you cannot tell them what to do. 'I am hoping her father will talk her out of it if she wants to go back again. She listens to him more than me.' Six helicopters have been flying perilous rescue missions since the earthquake triggered a 'tsunami' of ice and rock which crushed Base Camp, killing at least 18 people and injuring dozens more. Bad weather, continued aftershocks, and poor communication have scuppered subsequent trips, leaving hundreds stranded. Climber Alex Staniforth, 19, from Chester, said on Twitter that he was 'very lucky to be alive' after being evacuated to Base Camp. But while some climbers were able to tweet and update their Facebook pages, others were cut off from communications, leaving worried families in Britain desperate for news. Up to 70 Britons are unaccounted for. Traveller Samuel Beckett, 23, from Leicester, is missing and his father Martin said: 'We have not heard anything. We just keep watching the news and keep looking through the social media sites.' Among the other stories emerging from the disaster zone were: . Miss Dicker, from Fulham, southwest London, escaped the wall of snow and rocks as it tore through the Everest base camp on Saturday morning, by running for her life and seeking shelter from a ridge . Tragedy: Miss Dicker, front left, was part of the same climbing party as Google Executive Dan Fredinburg, far top right, who died in the avalanche on Saturday . CUT OFF AND PRAYING

Summary: Selina Dicker, 38, from Fulham, London, survived Mount Everest avalanche . Climber ran for her life as a wall of snow and ice tore through Base Camp .

Prosecutor James MacTaggart said Cameron's behaviour was 'sadistic' and he went on a 'killing spree'. 'It's violence for violence's sake,' he said. Mr MacTaggart said while it may have started out as a burglary, Cameron was aroused and then 'sexually violated' Tamara.

One in five American women are willing to undergo dangerous beauty treatments in order to achieve the ideal look, despite the risks that these procedures pose to their health. According to a new study, while just over half of women worry about the long term damage of beauty treatments, nearly a fifth would still pursue a treatment to get the right look - even it it proved hazardous to their health. Seven per cent, meanwhile, have actually had allergic reactions. The survey, conducted by beauty research organization LQS and Associates, looked at the lengths 1,000 American women go to in order to enhance their appearances or copy a celebrity, and the potentially disastrous consequences they might face in doing so, including hair loss, skin swelling, and overly painful procedures. The cost of beauty: Women often don't realize the dangers of salon treatments before sitting in the styling chair . Respondents cited the hairstyles of actresses Jennifer Aniston and Sandra Bullock, as well as signer Jennifer Lopez, as celebrity favorites, with 53 per cent also noting that they get skin, beauty, and hair ideas from pictures and videos of famous personalities. But LQS and Associates warns against attempts to emulate these looks on a regular basis. A-listers like Beyonce, Paris Hilton, and Selena Gomez all sport weaves and extensions, but their beauty regimen is not always adaptable to the average person. 'Many of those glamorous looks can do more harm than good, leading to long term problems,' said LaQue Gushon-Harris, president of LQS and Associates. 'Unfortunately, most women are not even aware of the repercussions.' Mr Gushon-Harris explained that women who get weaves and extensions often deal with hair loss from traction alopecia, the gradual recession of the hairline due to tight hairstyles that pull at hair follicles over time. The survey also revealed that the top five beauty and cosmetic treatments favored by women in the US include manicures, pedicures, hair coloring, teeth whitening, and perms. However, frequently demonized treatments like tanning beds and facials also make the top 10. Good hair day: Jennifer Aniston (left) and Sandra Bullock (right) have the top two favorite celebrity hairstyles . Long-term risk? According to LaQue Gushon-Harris, president of LQS and Associates, Beyonce's weave could be causing permanent damage to her hair follicles . Despite the dangers, the majority of women say beauty treatments make them feel better about themselves and improve their looks. Nearly half believe these procedures boost their confidence. And in a country where one-sixth of women go to great lengths to look like their favorite celebrities, knowledge of dangers might not even stop them. When asked if they knew for certain that their treatments would cause permanent damage, four per cent said they would continue anyway and six per cent would continue, just not as much. Most women, however, remain confident that their treatments are safe, and 67 per cent say they would stop if they learned what they were doing to themselves was unhealthy. It comes down to education, says Mr Gushon-Harris, who travels the country teaching women about the

Summary: American women look to celebrities for hair inspiration, often uneducated about the potential dangers of beauty procedures . Many celebrities who wear weaves, such as Beyonce, Selena Gomez and Paris Hilton, could be doing serious damage to their hair . Jennifer Aniston, Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Lopez were revealed as having the three most popular celebrity hairstyles .


An eight-grade girl accused of conspiring with her soldier boyfriend by text message to have her mother killed must remain in adult jail while awaiting trial, a judge. A defense petition to return 14-year-old Jamie Silvonek to the juvenile facility where she was initially sent after the body of 54-year-old Cheryl Silvonek was discovered last month was denied by Lehigh County Judge Maria Dantos on Friday. District Attorney Jim Martin had opposed the petition on behalf of the teenager, who is charged as an adult with homicide and criminal conspiracy. Her boyfriend, Caleb Barnes, 20, who is from El Paso, Texas, but was stationed at Fort Meade, Maryland, is charged with homicide. JamieSilvonek, the eighth-grader accused of conspiring with her soldier boyfriend by text message to have her mother killed must remain in an adult jail while awaiting trial, it was ruled on Friday . Cheryl Silvonek's body was found with stab wounds in a shallow grave about 50 miles northwest of Philadelphia, and her vehicle partially submerged in a pond a few miles from the family home. Jamie Silvonek was sent to the county jail this month after she was charged as an adult and is in the women's housing unit, away from older inmates, county officials said. Authorities said Barnes and the teenager met in October, when she was 13, but she told him she was 17. Records show the 14-year-old was upset that her mother had shown her boyfriend her passport as proof that Silvonek was not 17. The teen's mother found out about their relationship in early March and ordered them to end it. A day later, the teen told Barnes in a text message, 'I want her gone,' police said. On March 14, Cheryl Silvonek learned that Barnes intended to take her daughter to a concert in Scranton. 'He is not coming to this house,' Cheryl Silvonek texted to her daughter, who had taken the SAT college entrance exam that morning, according to a police affidavit. The eighth-grader sent her mother a text in response begging her to let them go. 'Mom, if I can't go I'm going to have a mental breakdown,' she said, according to the affidavit. 'I need to go and I need to be with my friends. I feel so desolate mother.' Cheryl Silvonek agreed to drive her daughter and Barnes to the show. On their way, the teenager and her boyfriend continued exchanging messages. 'I love you. We can do this. We'll just drive her car then, right?' Jamie wrote, the affidavit said. Barnes replied in a text, 'No. That leaves us as the suspects.' The three drove back to the Silvonek home after the show, and Barnes allegedly stabbed Cheryl Silvonek. The couple then ate at a restaurant and went to Walmart to buy gloves, bleach and other cleaning supplies, authorities said. Police found the body in a shallow grave a few miles from the Silvonek home. The victim's blood-soaked car was found submerged in a pond nearby. Investigators were able to trace the car back to the Silvonek home. When

Crystal Palace co-chairman Steve Parish described a 'great moment' as he basked in the glory of his club's 2-1 win over champions Manchester City. After the game, Parish posed for a picture at Selhurst Park with Palace manager Alan Pardew, England boss Roy Hodgson and Bill Wyman - one of the original members of The Rolling Stones and avid Palace fan.

'He can name virtually every player in that period, despite having spent 30 of those years in The Rolling Stones. 'Bill Wyman is not only a charming man but also somebody with a genuine passion for the game and its traditions. Wyman (back right) with fellow members of The Rolling Stones back in 1964 . 'Given Bill’s rock-star status, Steve Parish overlooked his normally strict rule that you must wear a shirt and tie in the boardroom.' Hodgson, who was a youth team player for Palace in the 1960s and is from the area, will have been casting his eye over a host of English players. Pardew used seven Englishmen including matchwinner Jason Puncheon, while England No 1 Joe Hart and utility man James Milner both played for City.

From alien coffins to fossilised lizards, conspiracy theorists believe they have found all manner of strange items in Nasa's images of Mars. Now, one alien hunter claims to have spotted what he believes to be a bunker on the red planet, with armed people peering out of its windows. Andre Gignac says he made the 'stunning discovery' in a photograph released by Nasa and taken by the Mars rover Opportunity. Scroll down for video . A conspiracy theorist claims to have spotted what he believes to be a bunker on the red planet, with armed people peering out of its windows (shown by the dotted red line) He says he became suspicious about a 'dark spot' on the rim of the Endeavour crater he had found in the original image, and so took a closer look. 'I was stunned. It was a massive panoramic window built in the inside wall of the crater,' Gignac told Cryptozoology News. 'You can see a person behind the bunker's window,' the 58-year-old added. He claims that the 'bunker' 'could also be a corridor leading to a bigger bunker'. 'Also, not far from this bunker are missiles, rockets and structures deployed in a circle,' he says. 'Bunkers have been spotted in previous Nasa pictures, some might be caused by shadows or lack of resolution that doesn't give enough detail to clearly see if the structure is a bunker or not,' Nigel Watson, author of the UFO investigations Manual, told Dailymail.com .

'Others have claimed that bunker pictures were taken by the European Space Agency, Mars Express orbital vehicle. 'These were explained as being of erosional features or caused by the way the pictures were stitched together. 'Whatever the "mundane" explanation I think we are more fascinated by the idea that there are people secretly living beneath the surface of Mars and they are part of some secret space program. 'Such a project would need vast resources and would be very hard to keep covered up, yet many think this is what is happening and that these activities are being carried out in conjunction with one or more alien species.' The latest discovery follows a spate of supposed 'sightings' of Martian civilisation. Last year, a Maryland-based UFO hunter spotted what he believed to be a 'decorative' box on the red planet. Other objects found in images of Mars include what some UFO hunters claim to be a fossilised iguana (left). Stock image of an iguana is pictured right .

A 49-year-old gunman who was holed up in a vintage blue bus has been shot dead following a seven-hour standoff with SWAT officers that involved heavy gunfire, tear gas and the use of an armored car. Mark Hawkins reportedly barricaded himself inside the Greyhound-style bus in the parking lot of a Walmart in Salem, Oregon, after he was approached by police, who believed him to be wanted. Seconds later, Hawkins, who was being hunted in Lane County for failing to appear on a charge of delivery of a controlled substance, allegedly fired his weapon from the front of the large vehicle. The bullet struck a police dog named Baco in the head, prompting an exchange of gunfire between officers and Hawkins. Numerous law enforcement agencies in the area then rushed to the scene. Scroll down for video . Wrecked: Mark Hawkins, 49, who was holed up in a vintage blue bus has been shot dead following a seven-hour standoff with SWAT officers. Above, the bus is pictured in a wrecked off after the standoff on Friday . Finally out: A law enforcement official is pictured dragging Hawkins (whose limb can be seen in the official's grip) out of the Greyhound-style bus, which was situated in the parking lot of a Walmart in Salem, Oregon . Shot dead: The suspect (left and right), who was wanted in Lane County for failing to appear on a charge of delivery of a controlled substance, had barricaded himself in the vehicle after he was approached by police . In the hours after the first shot, which occurred shortly before noon on Friday, SWAT officers and police fired more than a dozen rounds of tear gas at the bus in Turner Road - but to no avail. They locked down all shops in the area, including the Walmart, as they attempted to force Hawkins out of the vehicle. They finally decided to ram an armored car into the blue bus, according to KOIN.com. In incredible scenes, SWAT offers drove the car into the bus, punching holes in the larger vehicle. But the suspect apparently still refused to comply with officers and 'continued to brandish a handgun'. At around 6.30pm, police shot at the suspect multiple times. He was hit and wounded by nine bullets, causing him to slide out of the bus. He was then taken to a nearby hospital, where he later died.

A map that reveals every official sighting of a UFO over the past 76 years suggests that we are experiencing more cosmic traffic than ever before. Many of the sightings can be put down to the development of drones and new aircraft technologies, but some enthusiasts believe it is because of rise in alien activity. The interactive map was created by writer Levi Pearson, who used a UFO sighting dataset from the National UFO Reporting Centre and open source software from CartoDB. Click on the map below to find out if aliens have been spotted in your neighbourhood . A map shows sightings of extra-terrestrials around the world in the last 76 years – and seems to suggest we have more cosmic visitors than ever. It was created by writer Levi Pearson, who used a UFO sighting dataset from the National UFO Reporting Centre and open source software from CartoDB . Published in the QuantBait website, it begins in 1933 with the first UFO sightings being spotted over California and Nebraska in the US, the UK and France in Europe, and locations in Japan and Australia. The number of sightings increases dramatically between the 1940s and the 1960s across the world, according to the map. In the US, sightings documented during the 1940s include the famous Battle of Los Angeles and Roswell UFO Incident. On February 25 1942, radar operators spotted a UFO within 120 miles (193km) of Los Angeles that moved at incredible speed before vanishing. The UFO map (pictured) was created by writer Levi Pearson, who used a UFO sighting dataset from the National UFO Reporting Centre and open source software from CartoDB. Its shows that the number of sightings increases dramatically between the 1940s and the 1960s . Explanations for UFO sightings are just as vague as for aliens themselves, and could be down to the development of drones and new aircraft technologies – or a genuine rise in alien activity. An illustration of a flying saucer is pictured . The map shows a dramatic rise in the number of UFO sightings during the 1950s and 1960s. While this could indicate ore alien activity, the CIA recently claimed that half of UFO sightings in the US were linked to them testing U2 spy planes (pictured) at altitudes of 60,000 ft . An artillery officer said he saw 25 craft flying at 25,000ft (7,620 metres) and other eye witnesses reported seeing swarms of balloon-shaped objects flying at around 200mph (320km/h). Fearing the city was under attack, officials fired at the aircraft but no evidence of damage was ever found, prompting people to speculate the UFOs were from another world. And in 1947 the Roswell Incident occurred, which is still the source of speculation today. The US military claimed they recovered a secret research balloon that had crashed, but conspiracy theorists say the wreckage of an alien craft was discovered and hidden. While it’s possible that there were more UFO visitations during the decade, officials at the time put it down to people being nervous about World War II, and seeing

Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston took a surprising step in denying five Football Association charges for text messages during which he labelled a supporter a ‘retard’. The unpopular chief initially had until March 30 to reply, but was granted an extension. His appeal is expected to be heard by a separate FA panel next month and Oyston still faces a ban from football activities. Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston has decided to contest his FA charge for allegedly abusive text messages . Oyston - who has been the constant target of fan protests over the course of the Seasiders’ worst season for decades - is also looking at a hefty fine and mandatory four-hour FA education course. The shocking text messages, seen by Sportsmail, emerged just before Christmas when he sent a series of vitriolic volleys to fan Stephen Smith, who he told to 'enjoy the rest of your special needs day out'. Oyston later apologised for his part in the exchange, and it is understood his denial boils down to a reasonable expectation of privacy. The development comes just days after pensioner Frank Knight, a lifelong fan, was ordered to pay £20,000 in damages for alleged defamatory remarks made on his Facebook page. The footballing world rallied around Knight, with a kickstarter fund amassing the thousands he needed to pay. On announcing Oyston’s denial, an FA statement read: ‘It is alleged that the misconduct constituted five breaches of FA rules, and that during the text message exchange, Mr Oyston used abusive and/or insulting words towards a supporter of Blackpool FC. ‘It is further alleged that each of these five breaches of FA Rule E3(1) is an ‘Aggravated Breach’ as defined in Rule E3(2), as each included a reference to disability. ‘Mr Oyston has denied the charge.’ It is not the only example of foul-mouthed exchanges to have happened in a bitter campaign. The Oystons are extremely unpopular at the club, and fans have been protesting against their ownership . In a another rant from Oyston, who also had abuse hurled at him, said: 'Stop texting f******, you shouldn't have ever started as you are one tiresome f***** that should spot trains not watch football. Get a life and consider yourself banned from the stadium. 'You are banned because I think you are a p****. 'Impossible to have a meaningful conversation with such a f******* as you.' Oyston also joked with other fans that plans are afoot to see Blackpool, a Premier League side four years ago, spiral down to the Conference, with another text reading: 'I am a never-ending nightmare revenge mission'. Their relegation to League One was confirmed early last week and they are on course to tally the lowest number of points ever in the modern day second tier. There is to be a mass demonstration against their despised reign prior to the final game of the season against Huddersfield next Saturday. The content of the vile messages first emerged just before Christmas and Oyston came in for widespread condemnation. Anti-discrimination group Kick It Out registered their disgust, with local paper

Summary: Karl Oyston will face charges next month over shocking text messages . Oyston faces a ban from footballing activity if found guilty . He could also be handed a fine and mandatory FA education course . Blackpool chairman send abusive messages to a fan before Christmas .
