Man guilty of army veteran hammer attack murder Cumbria PoliceJack Crawley attempted to burn Paul Taylor's body, before burying him in woodland A man who attacked an army veteran he had met for sex and bludgeoned him with a hammer has been found guilty of murder. Paul Taylor, 57, from Annan, Dumfriesshire, went missing last October, with his remains found in a shallow grave in woodland near Carlisle, Cumbria, in May. Jack Crawley, 20, of Carlisle, was found guilty of attacking him and trying to burn his body following a trial at the city's crown court. He will be sentenced on Wednesday. Crawley was also found guilty of the attempted murder of a man in York, who he met on the gay dating app Grindr and also attacked with a hammer, while he was on bail for killing Mr Taylor.

A 47-year-old man and 54-year-old woman from Crawley are being questioned over multiple drone sightings that brought Gatwick Airport to a standstill. Flights were grounded for more than 36 hours when drones were first spotted close to the runway on Wednesday night. The airport has since reopened and flights were operating on schedule, but there were still long queues and some knock-on delays, a spokesman said. Police are searching a house in Crawley and the pair remain in custody. They were arrested on Friday evening and were being questioned on suspicion of disrupting civil aviation "to endanger or likely to endanger safety of operations or persons", Sussex Police said.
