A couple who drugged men seeking sexual services in order to steal from them have been jailed for killing two men and poisoning others. Adina Mihai and Madalin Dumitru admitted the manslaughter of Gary Mouat, 36, from Oxfordshire, and Malcolm King, 80, from Gloucestershire, in 2025 and 2024 respectively. The pair also each admitted two further counts of administering poison to surviving victims on the first day of their trial in June. Mihai and Dumitru were both sentenced to 17 years in prison at Oxford Crown Court. Mihai, who posed as a sex worker, and her partner Dumitru, arranged to meet men paying for services she had advertised online at their homes.

The number of homeless children in England living in temporary accommodation has risen 5% in a year to 177,530, according to new government figures. January to March saw the 18th quarterly increase in a row, although the number of children living in B&Bs has fallen. Meanwhile, the total number of households in temporary accommodation increased by nearly 4% in a year, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government said. Prime Minister Andy Burnham has pledged to introduce the biggest council house-building programme since the postwar period. Ronesha, 31, has been living in temporary accommodation with her two sons since 2024, after being made homeless following a no-fault eviction.

Results for A-levels, T-levels, BTecs and other vocational qualifications are out. And this year, they've come at a time when all eyes are on what teenagers decide to do next. Universities are keen to get them through the door. As they grapple with their finances, they know that every filled seat in a lecture hall comes with tuition fee funding. The new prime minister, meanwhile, wants to carve out clear routes into technical jobs that can rival the well-established path of A-levels and a university degree.

Premier League shirts are going to look very different this season. Twenty years after the door was opened for gambling companies to put their logos on the front of jerseys, it has been closed after clubs voluntarily voted to ban them. For the past two campaigns, 11 of the 20 clubs have had their shirts adorned with the branding of some kind of betting firm - anything from online bookmakers to crypto casinos, sometimes who do not even operate in the UK. It shows how finding a shirt sponsor today is very different to how it was the 1980s, when corporate logos began to appear on kits regularly. Teams used to attract local companies or foreign firms well-known on these shores.

Water companies have been given the green light to increase bills for customers by an extra £3.4bn in coming years to meet increased pressures on infrastructure and the environment. Nearly a third of the extra funding provisionally approved for 13 water companies in England and Wales is earmarked for making sure water services are maintained. The rest will be used to meet rising demand from housebuilding and data centres and to address pollutants known as forever chemicals. Prime Minister Andy Burnham said the proposal was real money out of family budgets at a time when they are struggling with the cost of living, and an environmental group described the decision as an insult. The regulator, Ofwat, said the extra spending would enable the firms to support growth and better environmental outcomes, and ensure important upgrades were not delayed.

Image caption, Derbyshire Police has referred a case to the police watchdog over a senior officer's use of AI A senior detective is being investigated over potential artificial intelligence (AI)-related gross misconduct. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said it had started investigating the officer after they were referred to the watchdog by Derbyshire Police following an internal review of their use of AI. The investigation into the force comes two months after a criminal investigation was launched into another officer accused of using AI systems to create evidential material in a number of cases. Derbyshire Police said on Monday it made a voluntary referral to the IOPC on 23 June regarding an officer's use of artificial intelligence. The force said the latest investigation was being independently led by the IOPC and it was unable to comment further.
