A woman has been convicted of murder after her two young children were found dead in their beds by their dad. The bodies of Elijah Thomas, two, and Marley Thomas, five, were found in their Dagenham bunkbed on December 16, 2022. Kara Alexander, 47, of Cornwallis Road, Dagenham, was found guilty at Kingston Crown Court on earlier today (Friday, February 21). She will be sentenced on Friday, April 11. The dad was concerned when he had not received any responses to his messages and calls to Alexander - he was due to have the boys that weekend. When he visited their home, he was told by Alexander that the children were upstairs sleeping. He found the boys' bodies together, dressed in pyjamas, in the lower bunk of their shared bunk bed. When he went downstairs for help, Alexander had run away through the garden into a neighbouring street. Paramedics couldn't save the boys as they had been dead for some hours. The mum was located an hour later. Alexander claimed at the trial that...

The West London bus route so busy that children and the elderly 'compete' to get on

West London commuters have called on Transport for London (TfL) to increase the capacity for a local bus route. Passengers claimed that the 235 service can get so busy that children and elderly people often 'compete' with each other to get on the bus, with some buses skipping stops altogether Locals have started a petition that calls on TfL to upgrade the single-deck bus route into a double-decker service. Lib Dem Assembly Member Gareth Roberts presented the petition to the London Assembly at a City Hall meeting on Thursday, February 13. The representative for Hounslow, Richmond and Kingston said at the meeting: "Starting from Sunbury village, the journey quickly becomes a competition to board the bus with both children and the elderly, among others, failing to do so because the buses reach maximum capacity too quickly."

Drake is set to perform three huge concerts in London this summer. These will mark his first UK gigs in six years, with some albums reportedly set to be performed in full. Drake is headlining Wireless Festival's 20th anniversary in Finsbury Park this year, which runs from Friday, July 11 to Sunday, July 13. In a deal reportedly worth millions, the 38-year-old will perform on stage all three nights of the festival. Other artists who were rumoured to be headlining the festival this year included Lil Wayne, Burna Boy and Vybz Kartel - although it seems Drake was the name organisers were after. Last year, Nicki Minaj, Doja Cat, Future, J Hus, and 21 Savage took to the stage as headline acts. A source told The Sun: "It's been months in the making, and initially, no one thought they could pull it off, but Drake is all signed on to headline all three days of Wireless. Bosses are naturally overjoyed and expect tickets to sell out in record time. "Exact set lists are ...
