Tanvir the Tiger

Tanvir, a Bengal tiger at Noah's Ark Zoo in Bristol, climbed up his 5m activity tower and was too scared to come down. Tanvir tarnished the fearless reputation of the tiger by spending over 24 hours stuck at the top of the tower, before finally mustering the courage to come down for food.

Stacey Lawrence Murder

I was at the Police HQ in Northampton this morning, in order to take a copy (known as a collect photograph) of a handout picture of a young girl named Stacey Lawrence, who was found strangled to death in a lorry belonging to her mother's boyfriend- and also to take some pictures of the press conference itself.

The conference room was full to the brim, this particularly horrid chain of events garnering many column inches in the national press. Detective Chief Inspector Tricia Kirk addressed the room, and held up the picture of Stacey for the waiting photographers to copy.
