Police hunting man who threw acid over TV presenter Katie Piper - Sky News

Police are urgently hunting the man who threw acid over television presenter Katie Piper after he was recalled to jail for breaching his licence conditions.

Stefan Sylvestre, from Shepherd's Bush, west London, was given a life sentence in 2009 for the attack and was told he must serve a minimum of six years before he would be eligible for parole.

He was released in 2018 when he was aged 30, a time Ms Piper has said was "really difficult" for her.

A Probation Service spokeswoman said on Sunday: "We are urgently working with the police to bring the offender back to prison where he'll face longer behind bars."

Sylvestre was recalled to prison for breaching his licence conditions.

Ms Piper suffered horrific injuries in the acid attack that left her permanently scarred.

She was left fighting for her life after obsessive ex-boyfriend Daniel Lynch arranged for Sylvestre to throw the corrosive liquid in March 2008.

Lynch was jailed for life with a minimum of 16 years for sexually assaulting Piper and telling Sylvestre to throw acid on her.

In court, Lynch and Sylvestre were told by Judge Nicholas Browne QC they were "the face of pure evil".

Chants of 'one solution, revolution' after London concert by Iranian singer evacuated over bomb threat - Sky News

A concert by Iranian singer Dariush in London was cancelled after a bomb threat was made and the venue was evacuated.

No explosive device was found at the Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith and police were called to the scene.

Video on social media shows people outside the venue chanting "one solution, revolution" - an apparent reference to ongoing protests in Iran over the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini.

A Met Police spokesperson said: "There was nothing to indicate that the threat made was genuine but at 8.21pm officers attended the venue to speak to security staff and to determine whether they were aware of anything suspicious or otherwise of concern.

"Nothing of suspicion had been brought to the attention of staff but at around 8.40pm the venue management took the decision to evacuate as a precaution."

"There are no reports of any injuries and no items of suspicion have been found," they added.

The death of Ms Amini in police custody has sparked widespread protests in Iran that have been met by a harsh government crackdown, including beatings, arrests and the killing of demonstrators.

Live updates as Leicester gets ready for Diwali lights switch-on 2022 - Leicestershire Live

A polite request from East Leicester Police - the team which covers Belgrave and the surrounding area

Diwali comes into its own after dark. It is after all the Festival of Lights.

There will be plenty of illumunations and fireworks later. And the police message when it comes to fireworks, even sparklers, is ' be very careful'.

The East Leicester team posted on social media earlier: "They can be very pretty but can be dangerous and need to be used with caution.

"Fireworks and sparklers must be used in an enclosed garden and not on the local park, green space, car park or the pavement outside of your house.

"A sparkler burns at a temperature of around 2,000 degrees celsius which is 20 times hotter than boiling water. So used in a public place and left on the ground the sparkler will stay hot for a long time and can cause serious burns to anyone who may pick it up after.

"Sparklers need to be used in your enclosed garden and after they have gone out put them in a bucket of water straight the way and leave them in there till the next day.

"Children under five should not be using sparklers and those over five need adult supervision. Gloves should be worn and the sparklers held at arm’s length.

"Fireworks are pretty but are very dangerous as you could put a firework on the ground to shoot into the air but what if that firework tips over and then misfires in the wrong direction.

Officers urged people to use fireworks safely and within the law

"When fireworks are used in a garden they should be in a large enough area with enough room for the spectators to stand well back from them.

"They also need to be discarded correctly in a bucket of water after use and for you to never go back to a firework that hasn’t gone off. You can also see fireworks at organised events in your area.

"Remeber, it is an offence to let fireworks and sparklers off in a public place."

Donegal explosion: All 10 people killed in petrol station blast named by police - Sky News

A five-year-old girl and her father were among 10 people killed in the devastating explosion at a petrol station in Ireland, as the identities of all the victims were revealed.

Shauna Flanagan Garwe and her father Robert Garwe, 50, had popped into the petrol station shop to buy a birthday cake for her mum at the time of the explosion.

Catherine O Donnell, 39, and her 13-year-old son James Monaghan were also among the dead following the blast in the village of Creeslough on Friday afternoon, in what has been described as a "freak accident".

In a news conference on Sunday, police said the other six victims were James O Flaherty, 48, Jessica Gallagher, 24, Martin McGill, 49, Hugh Kelly, 59, Martina Martin, 49, and 14-year-old Leona Harper.

Petrol station blast victims named

A man in his 20s is in a critical condition in hospital in Dublin, while seven other people are being treated at Letterkenny University Hospital and are described as being in a stable condition.

Tributes have been paid to Leona, with Letterkenny Rugby Club describing her as a "talented rugby player" and an "important part of our U14 girls' team" in a post on their Facebook page.

Leona's father Hugh wrote underneath the post: "The past 24 hours have been nothing short of hell.

"Leona loved rugby, although this year she was taking time out for boxing. But her first love was Letterkenny Rugby Club."

Leona and fellow victim James Monaghan were pupils at Mulroy College, as were a number of those injured in the blast.

The school's principal Fiona Temple said: "We as a school community are devastated on hearing of the tragedy and the fatal outcome for our two beautiful students and our cherished parents.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with all the families and the Creeslough community at this time.

"We are numbed by this overwhelming sadness and will work together to support all members of our school community in the coming days, weeks and months ahead."

Glenswilly Gaelic Athletic Association posted in memory of Ms Martin, saying the club had been "shocked" to learn of her death in the disaster.

Garda Superintendent Liam Geraghty said on Sunday that the scene of the explosion is still being examined and remains cordoned off.

Post mortem examinations on the victims have started and will continue over the next few days, although results will not be released for "operational reasons".

Mr Geraghty said: "It is a huge impact for a small rural community - they were all local people, all very much involved in the community, all shopping in their local shop.

"But it is a very strong community, as seen here on Friday afternoon...so I'm sure the community will come together and will support each other."

Meanwhile, parents hugged their children as hundreds of people attended a vigil in the town of Milford, a half an hour's drive from Creeslough, in memory of the 10 people who died.

Prayers were said and music was played, including a song called Creeslough, written and played by a local musician.

It is the first of almost 20 vigils due to be held across Co Donegal on Sunday.

It came after the Pope offered his condolences to the people of Ireland in the wake of the explosion.

A statement sent by his representative to Bishop of Raphoe Alexander McGuckian reads: "His Holiness Pope Francis was saddened to learn of the loss of life and destruction caused by the explosion in Creeslough and he expresses his spiritual closeness to all those suffering in the aftermath of this tragedy.

"While entrusting the deceased to the merciful love of almighty god, His Holiness implores the divine blessings of consolation and healing upon the injured, the displaced and the families coping with pain of loss.

"As a pledge of strength and peace in the lord, the Holy Father sends his blessing to all the people of Ireland."

Bishop McGuckian earlier told Sunday mass at St Michael's Church that the community of Creeslough was "living through a nightmare of shock and horror".

He added: "Over the last couple of days as people gathered in groups to talk about what has happened here these last days, the one word that stands out for me in relation to the explosion is something somebody said.

"It is so random, they said. And what she was referring to was, anybody could have been caught up in that. There's something deeply shocking and upsetting about what life throws up, can throw up."

Mr Geraghty said there had been "very traumatic scenes" on Friday, adding that emergency services personnel had come from across Co Donegal as well as from Northern Ireland to help.
