Arsonist 'on a mission from God' is jailed for 15 years for terrorising teacher he wrongly claimed was a paedophile, burning down school and torching another innocent
Philip Day (left), 55, from Runcorn, forced the unnamed teacher into hiding by sending him threatening messages and then burnt down the school he worked at, the University of Chester Academy at Northwich, Cheshire (UCAN) (main and bottom right) which he falsely claimed was 'a playground for paedophiles'. He then went on to torch an innocent man's £1.6million home (top right), in Saffron Walden, Essex, which he thought belonged to the husband of his mistress. She had claimed her husband had abused her children. Day quoted the Bible to justify his actions and staff at UCAN were forced to place the school in lockdown when Day repeatedly turned up at the gates before burning it down in February last year.

THE BREXIT CRISIS
Farage hits out at bombshell poll showing LIB DEMS ahead of the Brexit Party, Tories and Labour: MEP says the YouGov survey skewed the results by 'hiding' his party from voters
Nigel Farage (inset top centre) fumed that his party was 'hidden' from voters in the shock survey, which put it in second place - although still ahead of the Tories and Labour. The YouGov findings are the latest evidence of a major political earthquake in the wake of dramatic European elections, and sent Westminster into overdrive. Sir Vince Cable's unashamedly pro-EU Lib Dems (pictured right) received 24 per cent support – their best showing for years. The Brexit Party, which came top in the European election, was close behind with 22 per cent. But Mr Farage dismissed the poll results as skewed against his party - pointing out that it was not initially listed as an option for those questioned.
‘There was a hand over my mouth, I couldn’t breathe’: Model Chloe Ayling breaks down in tears as she is grilled by Italian court over her kidnapping by a shadowy group called ‘Black Death’
The 21-year-old gave her evidence via video link from Westminster Magistrates Court in London (pictured left) to a Milan courtroom where she was quizzed about her ordeal. The model (right) was expected to face accusations that she helped stage the kidnapping to boost her modelling career. But within minutes of starting to give her evidence she broke down in tears as she described being grabbed by a man wearing a balaclava and drugged. A court usher handed her a tissue as she covered her face with her hand and gently sobbed. The model was today giving evidence at the trial of Michal Herba, 38, who is accused of helping his brother Lukasz with the abduction. Lukasz was jailed last year for her kidnap.
Terrifying moment boyfriend chased his partner into shop shouting 'You're going to die!' before stabbing her in head with a screwdriver in murder bid that has seen him jailed for 19 years
Jealous Ahmed Ali (inset), 34, told his terrified girlfriend, Olivia Spinks, 'you're going to die to die' as he chased her down the street in the attack in Grangetown, Cardiff, in February. Ms Spinks is seen on CCTV 'running for her life' and trying to seek shelter in a nearby Premier shop - but Ali chases her inside before stabbing her in the head and neck with a screwdriver. CCTV footage inside the shop shows Olivia desperately trying to shut the door as Ali forces his way through. Ms Spinks was able to walk outside the shop after being repeatedly stabbed - but then collapsed and said: 'I know I'm dying. Tell my mum I love her.' Ms Spinks was then taken to the University Hospital of Wales, in Cardiff, and treated for 'life-threatening' stab wounds to her head and neck.

The society sisters who sent men wild with lust: Book reveals how the Oliviers' skinny-dipping and naked picnics inflamed H.G. Wells and drove besotted poet Rupert Brooke to a breakdown
The Olivier sisters (pictured right) were allowed to run wild in the Surrey woods (pictured left) — visitors described them as ‘savages’ — and it made them psychologically unafraid as they approached womanhood. Brynhild, most dazzling of all, was the cause of a lot of sexual tension at those Neo-Pagan gatherings. She and H. G. Wells were lusting after each other at a picnic, ‘but they managed to dispel it with a vigorous game of rounders’, according to Sarah Watling's Noble Savages : The Olivier Sisters — Four Lives in Seven Fragments (inset).

Adele Byng, 29, from Portsmouth, had hoped to have a lavish wedding, but when her granddad David, 77, who has Parkinson's disease, took a turn for the worse she decided to plan one quickly for under £1,500. Support worker Adele used social media to find cheaper options for her big day.

EXCLUSIVE: Husband of missing Connecticut mother-of-five called 911 two years ago to worriedly report he didn't know where his wife and kids were - the night before she filed for divorce and moved away with their children
Missing Connecticut mother Jennifer Dulos' husband called 911 the day before she filed for divorce and sought custody of their children in 2017, saying he didn't know where they were. Fotis Dulos, 51, called police around 9.30pm on June 19, 2017, to say he couldn't get a hold of Dulos after she had left with their five children for New York. Fotis said: 'I haven't been able to get in touch with them. I've been texting. I see the texts have been delivering but no one is responding to me.' The next day Dulos filed papers for a divorce and moved herself and her young children into a rental home an hour away in New Canaan. In her affidavit filed June 20, 2017, Dulos wrote: 'I am afraid of my husband. I know that filing for divorce and filing this motion will enrage him.' Ever since the filing, the estranged couple have been locked in bitter proceedings for the past two years. Dulos, 50, is currently missing and was last seen on Friday morning when she dropped her children off at school.
