Lavinia Woodward, 26 (left and right) attacked her then partner she met on the dating app after drinking at her university accommodation at Christ Church college. She was given a 10 month prison term suspended for 18 months at Oxford Crown Court after admitting unlawful wounding of lover Thomas Fairclough. Woodward, who later found love with Philip Kagalovsky (pictured together, inset) the son of a Russian billionaire, later lost an appeal against her sentence, and the university said she would face a disciplinary panel if she decided to return. After suspending her studies, she could have returned in September, but it emerged today that she has now formally withdrawn from the university. A spokesman for the university confirmed to MailOnline that Woodward had withdrawn from her college, Christ Church. Critics said the ruling demonstrated class bias in the legal process, and led to claims she was let off because the judge thought being locked up could harm her career as a heart surgeon.

The S015 officer, identified as Witness M, said he was not told Khuram Butt (inset and right, moments after he was shot by police) appeared on The Jihadis Next Door (pictured left) and revealed investigators had missed other key evidence. He said they had not been informed that Butt's brother in law had reported him to an anti-terror hotline because his views were becoming 'increasingly extreme.' The witness also told an inquest today that an investigation into Butt was dropped after the Paris terror attacks in 2015, because there had to be a 'prioritisation of resources.' Butt's appearance on The Jihadis Next Door, which followed the lives of radicalised Muslims in the UK, came in January 2016, and was watched by 1.2million viewers. Filming took place between January 2014 and early 2016. Eight people were killed when Butt, Rachid Redouane, 30, and Youssef Zaghba, 22, drove a van into pedestrians and stabbed others to death in the London Bridge area in 3 June 2017.

Anti-Trump protesters have left behind swathes of litter (right) after listening to Jeremy Corbyn slam the President (centre) for his stance on the environment. Pictures from around Trafalgar Square and Parliament show discarded plaques and banners (left) which had been left dumped on the floor as protesters admitted that numbers were only in the tens of thousands. Plenty of people braved the rain for the protests, but it was clear that there were not as many activists present, in comparison to his last visit in 2018. 250,000 gathered when Mr Trump visited the UK on July 13 last year.

Benjamin Bosden, 20, sentenced to five years in jail at Lewes crown court for causing deaths of David Evans, 55, and wife Linda, 48, (pictured left) after crash on A267 in East Sussex while double the drink-drive limit. Bosden's 18-year-old girlfriend passenger also suffered life-threatening injuries in the crash.

A conman who tried to sell a fake Lucian Freud (top centre) masterpiece for £3,000 on eBay has been spared jail after a judge said he 'obtained a pretty good copy of the original'. Vincent Dyer (right outside Isleworth Crown Court today), 66, from Greenford, claimed the painting (right) had been given to his father and was kept in 'secure storage' for years. Dyer (bottom centre) denied, but was convicted of three counts of fraud by false representation. He was sentenced to four months imprisonment, suspended for 12 months.

Rev John Parker, 49, was told in March that an eight-year-old pupil would be transitioning from a boy to a girl at the primary school in an Essex village. The Reverend John Parker, a governor at the school, supported the boy's wish to become a girl but said he was silenced when he raised concerns that parents and pupils would be kept in the dark. He also feared that staff and governors had been misled by the transgender lobby group Mermaids, which had been invited in to advise the school. After his worries were dismissed by the bishop, Mr Parker quit the church where he had been a vicar for 14 years, and also the school after seven years as governor.

The 30-year-old sparked an evacuation of passengers from the South Terminal when he was spotted carrying two 10-inch kitchen knives inside a staff security area yesterday morning (left) before being Tasered (right). A 39-year-old woman was in baggage reclaim with her husband and two children after they had come back from a week in Tenerife when they heard the call to evacuate and ran towards departures. She told MailOnline: 'We heard from baggage handlers that someone was “airside” and then staff confirmed that once he’d got through staff security he was heading towards a door which led straight to baggage reclaim.'

Labour was accused of pursuing the policies of the Venezuelan government last night as it unveiled plans for a tax raid on middle-class homeowners and powers to force landlords to sell on the cheap. A report, called Land for the Many, said Jeremy Corbyn (above, top) and his colleagues want to replace council tax with a new 'progressive' levy targeting larger homes with gardens. It also suggested scrapping the single person discount - which gives widows and others 25 per cent off their bill. The blueprint, commissioned by Labour, also put forward radical reforms such as taxing land owned by foreigners and building thousands of council houses on public land. And it called for Britons to be forced to attend town hall planning meetings in the same way they have to go on jury service. 

The radical plans (right), which include banning junk food adverts on daytime TV, were backed by Dame Sally Davies, England's Chief Medical Officer last night. Chief executive of the NHS, Simon Stevens, said last week that obesity was becoming the 'new smoking'. Health campaigners made a separate call last night for cartoon characters (inset) to be banned from packs of junk food aimed at children.

Javid is the winner! Not Home Secretary Sajid Javid (right), a leading candidate to succeed Theresa May as Prime Minister, but his brother Bas (left), who has won a key role at the Metropolitan Police, writes SEBASTIAN SHAKESPEARE. Currently a Chief Superintendent at the West Midlands force, Bas has secured promotion to the role of Commander at Scotland Yard, in charge of frontline policing. 'After 12 years with West Midlands Police, I'll be sad to say goodbye next week,' 48-year-old Bas confirms.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Margaret Macdonald designed Hill House (left, top right the interior) in Helensburgh, Dunbartonshire, using an experimental material which unfortunately allowed water to seep inside the walls. After decades of coastal wind and rain, it was feared the damage (bottom right) could destroy the bespoke interior finishes and designs. But now the National Trust for Scotland (NTS) has completed a multi-million-pound project to save the house and contents from being lost forever with a semi-transparent shelter around the main house, consisting of a 165-tonne steel frame (inset).

SIMON THOMAS: The weeks following my wife Gemma's tragically swift death from leukaemia in November 2017 were a maelstrom of shock and grief but I was lucky in some ways. I had staunch family and friends to support me, and the flow of people through the house barely let up for the first four months. But I was a mess, too, and it must have been hard for my friends to see. Then I did the one thing I promised Gemma I'd never do again, and hit the bottle.

Pop duo Monica and Gabrield Irimia (pictured left during the mock arrest and right) were performing on stage at a bar in Aberdeen. The police officers posted a picture of the mock arrest (left and inset) on Twitter with the caption: 'Monica and Gabriela were heard to shout "hey cheeky boys!" at passing police officers who promptly took to the stage and got the situation under control, much to the delight of the crowd.'

In a dark day for investors, Neil Woodford (pictured) said customers of his Woodford Equity Income Fund would not be allowed to take out their cash for at least 28 days. It means that anyone planning to use the money – for anything from a deposit for a house or building work to paying for holidays or a wedding – will be forced to either wait or find the cash elsewhere. The Equity Income Fund dropped from £4.33billion in April to £3.77billion at the end of May, according to research by data firm Morningstar. Kent County Council (inset) then tried to pull out £250million of pension fund money, according to reports, but it too has been trapped by the suspension.

Startling revelations from inspectors found stacks of mattresses crammed into every room inside the semi-detached property in Harrow, north west London. But there are still not enough beds for everyone and lack of sleeping space inside the modest home means that some occupants resort to sprawling out in the garden. A string of noise and hygiene complaints from neighbours prompted housing enforcement officers to inspect the house.

Captain Nicos Metaxas, 35, (inset) 'the island's first serial killer' has not yet been formally charged over the murders of five women and two of their daughters. Police said coroners examined the latest discovery at the scene at a toxic lake near Nicosia - while more specialised tests will be carried out to determine the person's identity. State radio reported the suitcase was weighed down with pavement slabs. Investigators are pictured (main) removing it on a stretcher, inspecting it after retrieving it in a net (top right) and inspecting it further (bottom right).

A Chinese cartoonist whose anonymous political satire earned him comparisons with Banksy - and the wrath of Beijing - has disclosed his identity in a move of self-protection. Badiucao, whose subversive pieces regularly mock President Xi Jinping, has revealed his face and his personal story for the first time in the hope it will help protect him from the Chinese authorities. One of his best known artworks shows President Xi posing proudly after apparently gunning down Winnie the Pooh. It ridicules Beijing's decision to censor the cartoon bear because people think it looks like the leader.

Noa Pothoven (pictured) from Arnhem, the Netherlands, died in a hospital bed in her living room after being granted euthanasia in The Hague. She had suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and anorexia. In a final Instagram post the teenager wrote 'Love is letting go, in this case,' and asked her followers not to try and change her mind because she felt 'drained'. Euthanasia has been legal in the Netherlands under strict conditions since 2002. She is pictured inset with her mother Lisette, who she said had 'always been there for me'.
