NEW Georgia Willson-Pemberton, 26, a 'hugely intelligent' woman who went to a £29,000-per-year private school died after battling anorexia, Westminster Coroner's Court heard today. She totally lost her ambition after graduating from the European Business School in 2008, where she had been studying international marketing, and began losing dramatic amounts of weight, the coroner heard.

The young woman and the Frenchman were apparently subjected to a six-hour ordeal by three men after flagging down a public transit van in the Brazilian city. The horrific crime has sparked fear among visitors to the metropolis, which is set to host next year's football World Cup as well as the 2016 Olympics. Jonathan Foudakis de Souza (top right) and Wallace Aparecido Souza Silva (bottom right) have been arrested in connection with the incident.

Michelle Mills, 31, stabbed Edward Miller, 20, with such ferocity that the handle of the knife she used broke away from the blade, a court heard. He died on the living room floor of their Leicestershire cottage. The accused murder, who denies the charge, allegedly stabbed her young boyfriend after texting her former partner to say she still loved him.

Footage taken by a contractor who examined the hole in Seffner shortly before the home was demolished last month has now been released by the county, and shows that every piece of furniture has vanished - although hats, jackets and shelves still hang on the walls. Jeff Bush, 37, (pictured) was sucked into the sinkhole while he slept in his family home in Seffner and when his brother, Jeremy, jumped in the hole to try to save him, he was nowhere to be seen.

Welsh PhD student Greg Dash said pre-orders are pouring in for his tiny digital camera, which he developed after finding he couldn't afford to buy a fish-eye lens. The 25-year-old said he has had almost 300 pre-orders in the space of a month - all but wiping out seven years' worth of student debt. The Lofi Fish-Eye camera takes expensive-looking photographs despite having just one button, no viewfinder, and being small enough to fit in the palm of a user's hand.

Susan Anderson, 55, escaped death as the train driver spotted her vehicle and was able to put the brakes on just in time in Rackheath, near Norwich, a court heard. The council worker was not banned from driving but was instead fined just £400 when she appeared before magistrates. Anderson, who admitted careless driving when she appeared before JPs, was given eight points on her licence.

Hannah Brain, 27, (left) was heavily pregnant with Lexie (centre) when she suffered third degree burns after the blast in her mother-in-law's back garden in Fishponds, Bristol. Husband, Dave, 29, (right) also suffered 40 per cent burns to his head, arms and chest after being scorched in the explosion which was sparked by a faulty gas canister last August. She went into false labour but because she was in such a late stage of pregnancy, she was unable to take morphine while nurses removed burned flesh from her body.

These poignant images match photographs of locations in the present day with the ghosts of the momentous historical events that happened there. Created by photographer Seth Taras, they were the basis of a 2010 ad campaign for the History Channel - accompanied by the message 'Know where you stand'. Mr Taras travelled the world shooting his pictures from the exact spot that major historical events were captured, then used photo editing software to blend these with their older counterparts.

Pretty blonde Emma Day has made it through to the second round of Miss Teen Queen UK and now hopes to become a model after losing 6 stone, 9lbs. At just 13, she weighed an astonishing 15 stone and cruel bullies made her life hell, leaving her to seek comfort in biscuit binges. But with the help of her mother, she's not only beaten the biscuits, she's beaten the bullies too.

Some viewers have complained about the 'unrelenting grimness' of BBC1's new Sunday night period drama series, which its makers hope will grip the nation in the same fashion as ITV's Downton Abbey. The decision by producers of The Village to avoid the traditional, glossy costume drama version of rural life is an honest one, for they are capturing both the virtue and vice of the old countryside - the usual human paradoxes and contradictions.

The move to bar South Koreans from going to work at the Kaesong industrial complex comes a day after the North announced that it would re-open a nuclear facility which has been closed for six years. It has also been reported that Chinese troops have been placed on a heightened state of alert along the border with the Korean Peninsula in case further troubles flare up. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry yesterday spoke out about North Korea's latest warlike actions, calling them 'provocative, dangerous and reckless'.

The bizarre images recreate attack moves from the manga and anime series Dragon Ball which was popular in Japan in the 1990s. When it was on primetime television 20 years ago, children would unleash Kamehameha attacks on each for fun at school or in the park. The new trend comes as filmmakers prepare to release a new film, Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, in cinemas next month. It will be the first Dragon Ball film in 17 years.

Jackie Stretton, 26, from Chelmsford, Essex, suffered a broken back, broken leg and head injury (centre) when car thieves smashed into her car during a 100mph police chase.

New Sunderland manager Paolo Di Canio, whose appointment as the new manager of Premier League side Sunderland has caused a storm, was at Paolo Signorelli's funeral where fellow mourners made the right-arm salute as his coffin was taken out of the church. Di Canio, 44, refused to discuss his political views as he was unveiled yesterday. Signorelli, 76, had been a senior member of the Italian Socialist movement which grew out of the collapse of Benito Mussolini's Fascist party after World War II.

Betty Riegel worked as a stewardess (left) for Pan Am in the sixties and experienced the glamor of the sixties flying across the globe for the stylish airline. In her new book, Up in the Air, the now married, mother of two (top right) shares stories of the rich and famous who walked the aisles of the international flights she worked on.

The four airmen, pictured with their deputy commander-in-chief, will now fly the 11-metre long Reaper MQ-9 aircraft from the Creech Air Force Base in Nevada. They will perform operations against the Taliban in Afghanistan 7,500 miles away in partnership with RAF teams in the country.

Zeng Jia, from the city of Wuhan, forked out her savings on an elaborate service complete with flowers, photographers and a full crowd of mourners. But the 22-year-old says the bizarre experience was not morbid - in fact, it has given her a more positive outlook on life. Ms Zeng spent an hour lying motionless in a coffin decorated with flowers, clutching a Hello Kitty doll to her chest as origami doves hung above the casket.

Bobby Hughes, from Droylsden, Greater Manchester, was able to speak a few basic words until he developed epilepsy aged three - and hasn't uttered a word since.
Bobby, who is also autistic, may never be able to talk and his mother Cheryl communicates with him by recognising his noises. She said: 'He had about five or six seizures and then his speech just disappeared. I can recognise his noises like you do with a baby, but he can't communicate with other people at all.'

These fascinating pictures give an insight into what life was like inside NASA's final three space shuttles which were all retired in 2011. In all the programme's five shuttle - Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour -- flew 135 missions, helped construct the International Space Station and inspired generations. Pictured is the interior of the shuttles (right) and an exterior shot of Space Shuttle Discovery back in 2011 (left).

Johnny Hill, left, from Sedgefield, was three years old when he was spotted on Blackpool's promenade by a photographer looking for models and starred in a 1924 advert with his older brother Ron, right. He grew up to storm the beaches of Normandy on D-Day and to be one of the liberators of the Nazi concentration camp at Belsen.

A suicide note left by doctor Thierry Costa (main picture) said the media had made 'unfair accusations and assumptions' about his treatment of contestant Gérald Babin (inset picture). The 25-year-old contestant died after he fell ill during a tug-of-war task with other contestants. Some media outlets had carried reports criticising the amount of time it took for anyone to treat Babin after his collapse.

Carefully, but with determination and dexterity the insect took 40 minutes to cast off its hard outer shell - called an exoskeleton - all while hanging onto a piece of grass. Photographer Adhi Prayoga, 41, watched the transformation in his back garden in Mataram, Indonesia and caught the moment on camera.
