Bride, 54, dies ten days into her dream Mexican honeymoon from heart attack 'caused by fish that had eaten toxic algae'
A newlywed bride died on her honeymoon after having a heart attack believed to have been caused by eating contaminated fish. Christine Fensome, 54, was on a dream trip to Mexico with her husband Andy Bennetts, 58, (pictured together, right) when she fell ill during the night on September 27. The mother-of-three is understood to have died from a heart attack caused by the fatal food-borne ciguatera toxin, found in reef fish contaminated with toxic algae. Christine, from Burghill in Herefordshire, was described as being a 'fit and active' regular gym-goer who doted on her five grandchildren. Her mother said the family was 'completely devastated' and her husband was today too distraught to talk about his wife's death.

Consumer goods giant Unilever has stopped delivering Marmite and more than 200 other products to Tesco after it refused a 10 per cent price hike. The Anglo-Dutch firm, an active Remain supporter, says it has been forced to increase prices due to the falling value of the pound in the wake of the vote to leave the EU. Critics claim the multi-national is 'using Brexit as an excuse to raise prices'. The stand-off means popular products including Marmite, Flora, Persil, Dove, PG Tips, Vaseline and Ben & Jerry's are no longer available on Tesco's website (bottom left). Marmite still remains in stock in some Tesco branches (centre, a Bristol shop) but the remaining jars are being snapped up (Clerkenwell, London, top right, and Old Trafford, Manchester, bottom right) and will not be replaced once shelves are empty. While some shops still have MarmiUnilever's CFO today claimed other customers had accepted the price hike. But other major supermarkets are believed to be among those locked in negotiations, meaning Unilever products could still be pulled from other retailers. Now outraged customers have turned on Unilever, threatening to boycott products in a bid to 'take back control' from the 'European giant'.

Syrian airport bomb plot suspect Jaber Albakr, 22, takes his own life as German police find him 'hanged in his cell'
Jaber Albakr (pictured) was detained on Sunday in Leipzig in eastern Germany after three days on the run following a tip-off that he may have been looking for associates in the city. He had been under round-the-clock surveillance due to an acute risk of suicide and hunger strike. According to security sources, he had built 'a virtual bomb-making lab' in a flat in Chemnitz and was thought to have planned an attack against either one of Berlin's two airports or a transport hub in his home state of Saxony. A major manhunt (inset) had been launched for Albakr, who was believed to have links to ISIS, after police raided an apartment in the city of Chemnitz and 1.5kg of 'an explosive substance more dangerous than TNT'.
