Newlove news

A small flurry of activity on BBC News Online this past week.

Almost all of the Cheshire news reported recently has been about the Newlove trial. Garry Newlove was kicked to death outside his Warrington home last summer. The trial has been ongoing since November at Chester Crown Court and the jury took almost two weeks to reach a verdict, which was finally announced yesterday. The link above will take you to a number of related pages, plus this one.

A sad tale and one that deserves the heavy coverage it has received, if only to illustrate what now seems to be a fairly typical kind of violence in many of our towns.
