Summary
A judge told Exeter Crown Court that teenagers must take electronic tagging orders more seriously. Judge Philip Wassall spoke as he sentenced a 17-year-old Exeter girl to unpaid work in the community as punishment for cutting off her tag. Probation officers recommended the girl should be allowed to continue her existing community order without penalty but the judge said that was unacceptable. The girl, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, admitted breaching her three-month curfew order. Judge Wassall sentenced her to 30 hours of unpaid work in the community. She was given the curfew order after being convicted of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
POLICE investigating the death of a woman who was found by the bandstand at a North Somerset resort are no longer treating the death as suspicious. The 59-year-old woman from Burnham-on-Sea was found by the town's bandstand on Tuesday evening. She was taken to Weston General Hospital but died shortly afterwards. Police were initially treating the death as suspicious but have changed their minds following a second post-mortem by a Home Office pathologist. The case will now be passed to the North Somerset Coroner.See the full content of this document
