Four people have been convicted of their murders.

But the businessman accused of ordering the killing is not among them.

Video circulating on local WhatsApp of shifty individual behaving suspiciously.

Our News at 10 segment on the nursery hacks here. One of the most shocking parts of this nasty little hack is that the criminals have hired people to call up some of the parents to say 'your kids data is going on the dark web unless you tell Kidos to pay us'.

A great legacy in my view. Public service broadcasting, bringing ideas and knowledge to millions, free to hear and universally available. Year in, year out. Only the BBC would enable this.

After years of being squeezed by streaming services and TikTok, pop stars are making longer songs again.

A little exclusive on the Beeb today from me and the visual data team.

TikTok made songs shorter but now artists are pushing back with longer tracks with more emotional resonance.
