Yep looks like murder https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cp9l8l05vxet

She was a bit bonkers but earned a lot of credit with that 'something of the night' demolition of Michael Howard which was very brave in the circumstances.

Hopefully culprit soon found and soon locked up forever.

Meantime RIP
Well, whatever, nevermind

Sam Neill
cry:  brilliant actor.  Everyone mentions Jurassic Park but for me that performance in The Dish is his best legacy of playing mild mannered thoughtful people.

RIP

I remember watching him in Reilly Ace of Spies when I was a kid. Saw him in a load of stuff over the years after that, not just the big name films but smaller independent productions and each time you could see he was giving his all and enjoying himself.

What a cricketing genius he was, sadly running rings round both our bowlers and batsmen so often.
