This is the tear-jerking moment a four-month-old baby smiled in delight after seeing his mother clearly for the first time in his life. Leopold Wilbur Reppond, known as Leo, suffers from a rare disorder called oculocutaneous albinism.

Mr Cameron tonight pledged to release his personal tax return in an attempt to limit the damage from his revelation. In a bid to close down a toxic row over tax avoidance earlier this week, Mr Cameron made an extraordinary public statement about his personal finances and income - insisting he received no money from shares or offshore trusts. But the statement only suggested more questions and Downing Street was forced to issue a string of further clarifications - making a total of four statements. Ian Cameron was named in the massive leak of more than 11 million files from the Panama tax haven.

The girls were just 13 and 14 when they spent nine hours battering frail Angela Wrightson (inset) with her possessions, including a television set, a shovel and a coffee table. Despite the 39-year-old begging for her life, the pair stopped the assault only to pose for pictures which the younger girl sent to friends on social network Snapchat.

Turning quickly around she shuffles off to her van. The video, which was shot in Staffordshire, was published on Thursday. Matthew Furber, who lives in the property, happened to see the lighter-side. 'I ordered some shoes from a well known UK manufacturer online,' he said. They used this particular courier to delivery them and our CCTV caught and recorded the delivery as it happened.

A woman killed by her estranged husband had repeatedly reported concerns about his behaviour to police, an investigation has revealed. Anne-Marie Birch, 47, was strangled in a field, shown left, near her home in Ramsgate, Kent, in November 2013 after a relentless campaign of harassment by Lee Birch. He was later jailed for life for murder. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) concluded that Kent Police could have handled several of her calls to the force better. Problems cited included incorrect logging of calls and a lack of awareness among some staff about non-molestation orders (NMOs), one of which was obtained by Mrs Birch seven weeks before her death. On the morning of her death, Mrs Birch, pictured right with Mr Birch, called police to report her husband had been hiding in her back garden.

Kelly Morris (pictured, top left), manager at 700-year-old Balgonie Castle (inset) in Fife, last night announced that the ancient medieval property will no longer welcome couples tying the knot after being harangued by a group of brides who 'bullied' and 'abused' her over the venue's dinner prices. She claimed the decision was made after several brides-to-be shared a private group conversation in which she was involved on Facebook. In it, Henia Roy (pictured with fiance, right) queried why she was being asked to pay for her meal three months before her wedding day (bottom centre), not naming the venue. She also asked if it was commonplace for children's meals to cost the same as adult servings. While several social media users offered her impartial advice, Ms Morris then interjected - insisting she was 'sick to death' of people using web forums to complain about the castle's policy, despite being defined in their terms and conditions. She then went on to say she did not have the patience to deal with 'bridezillas' (bottom left).
