Joanne McLaren has revealed the moment she caught eyes with Josh Stimpson as he stood trial for the brutal murder of her daughter, Molly McLaren in a new Channel 5 documentary. Josh stalked Molly before stabbing her 75 times in a carpark.

A depressed mother treated her son to a McDonald's Happy Meal before filling his rucksack with rocks and tying their hands together before jumping into a reservoir and killing them both. Emma Sillett (left), 41, had taken five-year-old Jenson Spellman (right) for some food before driving them to the deserted spot in Derbyshire (police at the scene, bottom centre) to end their lives. The social worker left an emotional note in her car which explained she was tethering herself to her son because she could not bear the thought of him 'drifting away'. Chesterfield Coroner's Court heard that little Jenson was found facing Ms Sillett and had been 'tied to her by his wrist'.

Boris Johnson last night drafted in Iain Duncan Smith to put his stuttering leadership campaign back on track (Mr Johnson is pictured: holding a dog on a visit to the Surrey Hills yesterday, left; visiting a butcher's shop in Oxshott, top right; sharing a drink with former leadership rival Dominic Raab, bottom right; and posing for a selfie with a local resident in Oxshott; inset). Sources said Mr Duncan Smith has been given a wide-ranging role in which he will also advise Mr Johnson on the make-up of his No 10 team and on planning for his first 100 days, during which he has pledged to deliver Brexit. The appointment came amid growing divisions within the Johnson camp about a strategy that has allowed Jeremy Hunt to seize the initiative in recent days.

Even senior sources in Boris's camp believe the photograph (main picture) was taken long before the row between Boris and Carrie in her south London flat last week, ANDREW PIERCE reveals. The clues are certainly there. Not only could any casual observer clearly see that Boris's trademark blond mane appeared longer and more unruly than the coiffured new look he has been displaying since the first leadership hustings. But even more damningly, the photograph bears an uncanny similarity to one released to the Press (inset) in similar circumstances (and also with no named photographer) last September. This too featured Carrie sitting outdoors at a wooden table, surrounded by greenery, although her companion that time was an unnamed female friend. Whatever the truth of the matter, such is the furore unleashed by the picture, the Boris campaign has been left in a state of near-panic.

Mandy Gray (pictured left outside London's High Court today) is battling her fitness coach ex-boyfriend, 46-year-old Hamish Hurley (pictured right in his native New Zealand), over assets including an Italian villa and a fleet of supercars. Ms Gray had a six-year relationship with Mr Hurley following her 2013 divorce from investment manager Randy Work (pictured inset), but they broke up earlier this year. Mr Hurley claims a share of the couple's lucrative assets but Ms Gray insists they are hers alone. Today a judge ruled that the legal battle must be decided in the UK.

She got engaged to Rio Ferdinand in November following a romantic proposal in Dubai.  And Kate Wright revealed that she has already been on her hen do as she shared a slew of snaps from her girls' trip abroad on Instagram on Tuesday. Revealing that she had imposed a social media ban for the trip, the 28-year-old former TOWIE star promised fans that she would give them an insight into the trip with a slew of snaps. 

Darren Pencille (right) is said to have knifed 51-year-old Lee Pomeroy (left) 18 times during a row on the Guildford to London Waterloo train on January 4. Mr Pomeroy, who would have celebrated his 52nd birthday the day after the attack, was on his way to the capital for a day trip with his 14-year-old son. He died on the platform at Horsley station a little over an hour later, the Old Bailey heard today. Pencille is said to have fled with the help of Chelsea Mitchell (right).

Retired Chief Superintendent Dai Davies, a former head of royalty protection, said the Sussexes' (right with baby Archie) decision to quit Kensington Palace has resulted in a sizeable bill for new provisions. More than 20 officers from the Met Police and the Thames Valley force will be required to guard Frogmore Cottage (inset and left).

NEW How is it possible that Harry and Meghan (inset right with her bodyguard in Fiji in October) have spent £2.4 million of taxpayers' money (with another £600,000 potentially in the pipeline) renovating the five-bedroom Frogmore Cottage (inset left)? Of course, every grandparent (The Queen, left with President Donald Trump in Buckingham Palace this month) wants to do their best to give the younger generation a leg-up; but this is something else. It's not just the vast sums involved which, at a time when hospitals and other front-line services are having to make serious cutbacks, seems so out of touch with the challenges facing ordinary Britons. Say what you like about William and Kate (right at the Royal Ascot) - and the renovation of their own apartment 1A cost taxpayers £4.5 million - both are consummate corporate royals, acutely aware of the obligations that their privilege confers.

The Duchess of Cambridge, 37, pictured right and inset, has succeeded the Queen as the figurehead of the Royal Photographic Society. She took part in a workshop today ran by the prestigious organisation in south west London. The duchess was dressed perfectly for summer, sporting a paisley print dress in shades of green and brown with floaty sleeves and a tiered hem, which is bang on trend for this season. She teamed her gown with her Castaner 'Carina' tan wedge espadrilles, while her bouncy brunette locks fell about her shoulders in its signature curls. Keen photographer Kate has been widely praised for her portraits of her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Pictured left: giving student Faith Olukoya a big hug.

Trump launched a fusillade of tweets calling Iran's leadership 'ignorant and insulting' after its president Hassan Rouhani called the White House 'mentally retarded,' as tensions in the Gulf stayed high. The outburst is the latest after he pulled back from bombing Iran in retaliation for it shooting down a Navy spy drone in what the U.S. says was international airspace. Trump publicly told the Iranian leadership that he was open to talks, but clearly took offense at Rouhani, who said that America is lying about wanting to negotiate and only proves that Washington is desperate and running out of options.

Controversial Netflix Drama 13 Reasons Why received backlash for its controversial suicide scene featuring 17-year-old Hannah Baker (left). Just two months after the series was broadcast 12-year-old Jessica Scatterson (bottom right) committed suicide while she was at her father's home in Warrington, Cheshire. Her mother Rachael, who had split with Jessica's dad five years earlier, said: 'They asked me to sit down. They told me Jessica had passed away in the middle of the night. My first reaction was that she must have died in a car accident because it was so sudden. I never expected to hear the words that Jessica had hanged herself. After that, all I remember is screaming.' A month after Jessica died, in another part of Cheshire, 13-year-old Lily Mae Sharp (top right) also hanged herself in her bedroom after playing 'suicide' games and pretending to hang herself with a noose made of toilet paper in the school loos. 

Renee MacRae (top right), 36, and her son Andrew (bottom right), three, disappeared on November 12, 1976, from their home in Inverness, Scotland, and officers have found remains in a 100ft quarry (left) nearby. Ms MacRae's car was found on fire and bloodstained around four miles from the quarry at the time she disappeared, but no bodies were ever discovered and no arrests ever made. Police have pumped out almost 3million gallons of water from the quarry at Culloden, around four miles from Inverness, and are now analysing bones and pieces of a pushchair found among the debris (inset bottom). Ms MacRae had been on her way to see married lover Bill McDowell (inset top, pictured last year), who is Andrew's father, when she went missing. He has always denied involvement in the case and was never arrested.

Stunning aerial photos show Glastonbury organisers putting a colourful event together (centre), full of tents, stages and bars as thousands get set to make their way to one of the world's most talked about music festivals. The coveted event is set to kick off tomorrow in Somerset, lasting until Sunday, with a star-studded line-up. Pictures give an insight into how much space the event takes up as well as a sneak peek into the myriad of stages and events that attendees will be able to enjoy. Some festival-goers had started to arrive at the event earlier today and were pictured in shorts and wellies (bottom left) as they hopped over puddles with their luggage, while others waded through the muddy waters, following heavy rain which has hit the whole of the UK.

Documentary filmmaker Louis Theroux doesn't often speak about his Hollywood actor cousin Justin, but made a rare exception on Tuesday night. During an interview with Australian TV show The Project , Louis was asked what he thought of Justin's high-profile relationship with Friends star Jennifer Aniston. 'What was it like when your cousin was dating the most famous woman in the world, Jennifer Aniston?' asked presenter Lisa Wilkinson. Louis offered a surprisingly candid response, referencing Justin's previous long-term girlfriend, costume designer Heidi Bivens. He said: 'I think the main thing I thought was: "Oh, too bad. I guess he broke up with Heidi." I guess I just thought about that relationship ending. My immediate next thought was like: "That's kind of cool. That he is going out with someone famous."'

While you may think the wisest financial minds invest in property, art or the stockmarket, the savvy British investor is putting their money into designer handbags.The point was proven when a Hermes crocodile-skin Birkin bag sold at Christie's this month for an eye-watering £162,500, far exceeding its estimate of £70-90,000. Here, SAMANTHA BRICK and ALICE SMELLIE speak to four women (left to right: Fashion consultant Noreen Goodwin, social influencer Luisa Ruocco, luxury asset appraiser Ailsa Russell and boss of Handbag Clinic Charlotte Staerck) who have invested in handbags - and got a golden return...

NEW CHRISTOPHER HART: In a terribly British, self-deprecating kind of way, yes, it could be argued that Dad's Army also stands as a sort of wry testament to the war effort, when we stood virtually alone as a free country against Hitler's monstrous Reich. But it's hardly the stuff of strident jingoism, as Daisy Goodwin (right), the writer and creator of the ITV drama Victoria, implies. Yet she wants the incomparable comedy banned because its vague whiff of bumbling old-school British patriotism and its storyline about opposing invasion from an evil European power, might mysteriously have triggered a 'Leave' mentality in the poor, credulous, uneducated voters. In a particularly dotty conspiracy-theory moment, she even suggests the Brexit Party logo of an arrow bears a sinister resemblance to the arrows that feature in Dad's Army's memorable title sequence.

Óscar Alberto Martínez Ramírez, 25, and his daughter Valeria were found face down in shallow water on the Mexico side of the river across from Brownsville, Texas on Monday morning. The searing photograph, captured by journalist Julia Le Duc and published by Mexican newspaper La Jornada, highlights the perils of the latest migration crisis involving mostly Central Americans trying to reach the United States. Ramírez's widow, Tania Vanessa Ávalos, 21, (circled) said the family left El Salvador April 3 and that they spent the last two months in Mexico at a migrant camp waiting for an appointment to apply for asylum to enter the U.S. Frustrated that the family from El Salvador were unable to present themselves to U.S. authorities and request asylum, Ramírez seemingly tried to swim across the river with his daughter.

Reece Miller (inset), 18, has been named as one of the revellers involved in the shocking 10-man brawl at Royal Ascot in Berkshire on Friday. The brazen teenager even posed for a photo while holding up a story about the fight. A Watford Football Club spokesperson said he had been suspended after it was shown footage of the brawl. They added: 'We are treating this matter with the utmost seriousness. The club will not tolerate any behaviour which tarnishes its image and a full disciplinary investigation is now in process.'

Sophie Matheson, 26, from Mansfield, was a size 20 and weighed 16 stone, seen left, five years ago. She was desperate to lose weight before her wedding, which she said she was 'dreading'. In an incredible transformation, she has now lost five stone in just four months, and wore her 'dream' wedding dress for the big day, pictured right at 11 stone and a size 10 last October.

The International Military Technical Forum will present foreign commanders with 27,000 different weapons and vehicles at Patriot Park on the outskirts of Moscow this week (pictured: top, an owl-like drone, bottom left a T-15 Armata infantry fighting vehicle, bottom right; a foreign delegate inspecting hardware). As well as its cutting edge owl-like drone, attendees will have the chance to survey Russia's longstanding nuclear weapons capabilities. The show boasts a 500,000 metre squared outdoor exhibition area and its website claims there will be more than 1,250 Russian and foreign exhibitors. As well as displays for various categories including drones, robotics and nuclear weapons, famed Russian aerobatics teams will be on display.

NEW Glastonbury 2019 is set to take place at Worthy Farm in Somerset between June 26 and June 30, with revellers already starting to make their way to the site. The data, based on anonymous viewing figures recorded over the past 12 months, sheds light on the UK cities where this year's Glastonbury Festival's top acts are the most popular. Experts from the streaming site, which is owned by Google, have also broken down the top viewed act from this year's three Pyramid stage headliners.

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT. Viewers were left in shock over last night's episode of 999 What's Your Emergency, which saw Northamptonshire police officers deal with a victim who had been stabbed in the backside. One wrote:'My god I didn't know this bagging trend existed. What an evil disgusting world we live in where depravity is taking over.'

The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office in Georgia on Tuesday released bodycam video showing the June 6 rescue of a newborn baby girl dubbed 'India,' who was pulled out of a plastic bag (left). Nearly three weeks later, authorities are still trying to locate the baby's mother and uncover the infant's true identity (pictured in the hospital, right).

If Roger Federer (left with wife Mirka, and right) thought he could get away with a discreet spot of shopping to stock up on kit before Wimbledon gets started, he was sadly mistaken. Fans crowded round the Uniqlo (inset) for a glimpse of him and a mile-long tailback built up from Wimbledon Broadway up to Wimbledon Village.

Gilt Alistair was the runt of her litter and was separated from her siblings to be hand reared amid fears she would not survive. The little pig was kept in a pen at Houghall Farm on the outskirts of Durham, but kept breaking out to join the orphaned lambs next (left, with a lamb). The saddleback piglet now lives with the sheep full time and Keith Cook, a manager of the farm at East Durham College, which runs a number of Agricultural courses, says she believes she is one of them. The gilt has been compared to 'Babe: The Sheep Pig' from Dick King-Smith novel (inset, still from film adaptation).

NEW Shantelle Gaston-Hird, 32, loves to start her weekend with a leisurely backwards jog - but can clock an 11 minute backwards mile when she's in training. She's even been crowned the fastest backwards runner in the UK. And while most fellow joggers give her words of encouragement, she does admit to being shouted at by some people who tell her to turn around as she's 'going the wrong way'. Another bonus for Shantelle, from Irlam, Greater Manchester, is that since she began her unusual routine, she's had far fewer catcalls.

The sprawling Bel-Air estate owned by late media tycoon Jerry Perenchio, that was once the home of 'The Beverly Hillbillies,' has its listing price slashed again. In August 2017, the home hit the market for $350million, making it the most expensive home in the United States. A little more than a year later, the home's price tag was slashed by $100million. In October 2018, the residence hit the market again, but with an asking price of $245million. On Monday, that price was cut by $50million, making the new price $195million. Despite the $155million price cut over the last two years, the home is still the most expensive on the market. In the 1960s, it was known as the home of the Clampett family on The Beverly Hillbillies (center). The property was shown in the opening credits and throughout the popular sitcom that ran from 1962 to 1971.

The clip, created by videographer Paul Parker, shows the southwestern tip of England in all its glory - from harbour villages and fields to sparkling blue waters. He made it by stitching images from a drone into 360-degree panoramas. And among the places featured are St Ives, Halsetown and St Michael's Mount in Penzance. Mr Parker (known on Vimeo as Parker Paul) told MailOnline: 'I'm an After Effects artist - basically, someone who makes motion graphics and video effects using Adobe After Effects. I was recently learning how to create 360-degree panoramas using a drone, which involves taking hundreds of pictures and then stitching them together. When it came to the stitching part, I made a serious error in the process and the result was a beautifully surreal landscape with what looked like an interdimensional portal running through it.'
