Search for family murders suspect

4 May 2011 Last updated at 06:33 GMT Anxiang Du Suspect Anxiang Du left a suicide note, Northamptonshire Police said A police search for a man in connection with the murders of a couple and their two daughters is continuing.

Anxiang Du, 52, is being sought in connection with the deaths of Manchester Metropolitan University lecturer Jifeng Ding and his family.

Mr Ding, his wife Helen Chui, and daughters Alice and Xing, were found stabbed in their home in Pioneer Close, Wootton, Northampton, on Sunday night.

Police said Mr Du, from Coventry, had left a suicide note.

Mr Du left a note to his family implying it was time to say goodbye.

He is understood to have been a business associate of Ms Chui dealing in herbal remedies.

Mr Du left his home in Coventry at 1030 BST on Friday to go to work in Birmingham but never returned.

He was last seen on 29 April in Birmingham City Centre, Pallasades Shopping Centre and was wearing a white baseball cap, brown waist-length coat, grey trousers, a blue woollen top and black leather shoes.

He was described by police as being of slim build with a bald patch.

Police said they were still looking for a murder weapon.

Jifeng Ding and Alice Ding Jifeng Ding and Alice Ding died from stab wounds, police have revealed

Officers said the family, who are of Chinese descent, had suffered knife wounds.

Det Supt Glyn Timmins said: "The public should be cautious. The reason being is that, obviously having left a suicide note Mr Du had a particular state of mind.

"What I can say is that he's likely to be frightened, he's likely to be quite desperate and certainly when, and if, he sees this in the media he's certainly going to be very anxious and nervous.

"Therefore I think the prudent thing to do would be to assume that Mr Du should not be approached and that's a job for the police if and when he's sighted."

Police also want to trace a silver five-door Vauxhall Corsa, registration BG60 PMO, that was hired by one of the family members and was last seen on Friday.

SA murder suspect taken to hospital

22 February 2011 Last updated at 09:34 GMT Shrien Dewani leaving Southmead police station after he reported there as part of his bail conditions in January Shrien Dewani was taken to the Bristol Royal Infirmary on Sunday A man accused of ordering the murder of his wife during their honeymoon in South Africa is being treated in hospital, his spokesman has said.

Shrien Dewani, who has been suffering from clinical depression and a stress disorder, was taken to Bristol Royal Infirmary on Sunday, Max Clifford said.

South African authorities want him to be extradited to stand trial accused of ordering the shooting of his wife Anni.

Mr Dewani has denied any involvement in his wife's death.

The 31-year-old, who is on bail, was unable to attend a recent court hearing because he is suffering from depression and severe post-traumatic stress disorder.

'Increasingly concerned'

Mr Clifford said: "He's been increasingly ill over the last couple of months, he's been losing weight.

"Those close to him obviously have become increasingly concerned about his health.

"All Shrien wants, all the family wants, is for the truth to come out.

"If the truth comes out it will be clearly shown that he had nothing to do with this tragedy.

"When he comes out of hospital he is probably going to have to have 24-hour nursing."

Mr Dewani and his 28-year-old Swedish wife had been married for two weeks when she was killed.

The couple's taxi was hijacked on 13 November in Cape Town as they travelled through the Gugulethu township.

Mrs Dewani's body was later found in the abandoned car. Mr Dewani had been released unharmed.

One of the men accused of murdering Mrs Dewani, Mziwamadoda Qwabe, has claimed in a statement released by police that the hijacking which led to her death was staged.

Mr Qwabe and Xolile Mngeni are charged with murder, kidnapping and robbery with aggravating circumstances.

They are due to appear before Wynberg Regional Court in Cape Town on 25 February.

Taxi driver Zola Tongo has already been jailed for 18 years after admitting his role in the murder and making a confession that implicated Mr Dewani.

An extradition hearing has been set for 3 May at Woolwich Crown Court.

Lawyers for Mr Dewani have said they will question whether he would receive a fair trial if extradited.

Lahore shooting suspect 'was CIA'

21 February 2011 Last updated at 18:38 GMT Pakistani police escort arrested US national Raymond Davis to a court in Lahore Mr Davis is being held in jail pending a decision on his diplomatic status A US man held in Pakistan over the shootings of two men in Lahore was secretly working for the CIA at the time, reports quoting unnamed US officials state.

Raymond Allen Davis, 36, was working as a CIA contractor for the US consulate in Lahore, the officials say.

Mr Davis is being held in jail pending a decision on his diplomatic status.

The former soldier shot two men he says were trying to rob him. The incident has soured US-Pakistan relations.

Correspondents say the Pakistan government is under tremendous domestic pressure to put Mr Davis on trial despite US assertions that he has diplomatic immunity. Mr Davis is charged with two counts - murder and possession of illegal weapons.

Hundreds of Pakistanis have taken part in street demonstrations.

'Protective officer'

The US State Department on Monday repeated the administration's stance that Mr Davis was an accredited member of the technical and administrative staff of the US Embassy in Islamabad.

They said the Pakistani government had been informed of his status in January 2010 and that Pakistan is violating its international obligations by continuing to hold him.

Mr Davis was working as a "protective officer," Reuters news agency quoted sources as saying.

US media outlets, including the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Associated Press, said they had held off publicising details about Mr Davis' employment status while the US tried to improve his security situation.

But on Sunday, the UK's Guardian newspaper disclosed Mr Davis' relationship with the CIA.

US terror suspect pleads guilty

9 February 2011 Last updated at 20:04 GMT Daniel Boyd. File photo Daniel Boyd was arrested by US federal agents in 2009 A US man has pleaded guilty in a court in the state of North Carolina to plotting terrorist attacks.

Daniel Patrick Boyd filed a guilty plea at the New Bern court to charges of conspiring to provide support to terrorists and conspiring to murder, kidnap and injure people.

Prosecutors agreed to dismiss several other counts against him.

Mr Boyd is alleged to have led a group of seven men, who were part of a home-grown terror cell in rural America.

The trial is expected to begin in September.

If convicted the suspect could now face a life sentence.

'I love jihad'

Mr Boyd, his two sons and four other men were arrested by US federal agents in 2009.

He was then indicted on charges of plotting terrorism and conspiring to support terrorism.

During an initial court hearing in 2009, the authorities played audio tapes of Mr Boyd talking about his disgust with the US military and the need to defend Muslims from oppression.

"I love jihad. I love to stand there and fight for the sake of Allah," he reportedly said on one of the tapes.

According to analysts, one of the most striking aspects of this case is that the alleged cell is apparently made up of mostly white converts to Islam.

Mr Boyd lived with his family in a two-storey house with a swimming pool in Willow Spring, a quiet suburb some 20 miles (32km) south of Raleigh, North Carolina.

The Muslim family lived quietly among the mainly Baptist and Presbyterian residents of the town. Mr Boyd was known as a devout Muslim, who would stop at noon to pray.

According to court papers, he took the name Saifullah - "sword of god" - when he converted to Islam.
