3rd person arrested for allegedly helping a Tennessee fugitive wanted in family's killings
Police in Tennessee have charged a 23-year-old woman with assisting a man wanted in the murders of the parents, grandmother and uncle of an infant found alive miles away from the crime scene. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said Dearrah Sanders of Jackson, Tennessee, was arrested on Monday and charged with being an accessory after the killings. Investigators also arrested two men over the weekend on similar charges, alleging they helped 28-year-old Austin Robert Drummond after the July 29 killings. Drummond remained on the run on Monday afternoon, the TBI said in a news release. Authorities have left many questions unanswered, including how the three people allegedly helped Drummond, the manner in which the victims were killed and how the baby ended up in a car seat in the Tigrett area, roughly 40 miles (64.37 kilometers) from the bodies. Last week, authorities said they found the car in Jackson that they believe Drummond had been driving. Authorities believe the family murders were a targeted attack by Drummond, who had a relationship with the victims, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Director David Rausch said. The baby is safe and being cared for. Officials have warrants for Drummond that charge him with four counts of first-degree murder, one count of aggravated kidnapping and weapons offenses. His criminal history includes prison time for robbing a convenience store and threatening to go after jurors. He was also charged with attempted murder while behind bars. Authorities have identified the four people found dead in Tiptonville as James M. Wilson, 21, and 20-year-old Adrianna Williams, the baby's parents; 15-year-old Braydon Williams and 38-year-old Cortney Rose, the mother of Adrianna Williams and Braydon Williams.

Dozens of suspects still wanted by police over 2024 disorder
Dozens of suspected rioters are still wanted by police a year after disorder that broke out across the UK. Police determination to track down those involved is a warning to troublemakers not to repeat the unrest this year, a police body said. A website is being set up with details of around 40 suspects still wanted across five police forces – Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Cleveland Northumbria and Avon and Somerset. Disorder spread across the UK in the wake of the Southport murders last year, amid false rumours that the killer was a Muslim immigrant. The unrest led to a total of 1,876 people being arrested, with 1,110 charged so far, the National Police Chiefs' Council said. According to the Crown Prosecution Service, its data tracking cases related to the disorder shows 821 defendants out of 859 were convicted by the end of March this year. This month, multiple protests have been held outside a hotel in Epping where migrants are housed after an asylum-seeker was charged with allegedly attempting to kiss a 14-year-old girl. There have been additional protests in Norfolk and London, but so far wider unrest has been avoided. Assistant Chief Constable Ian Drummond-Smith, who led the national response to investigating the riots, told the PA news agency: 'We have a duty to facilitate protest … but what we saw last year, and in a few isolated cases this year, is where it's gone to criminality and to serious disorder. 'In those cases what I think we can learn from last year is that justice will be swift, and I hope that that would be a deterrent to anyone thinking about engaging in serious disorder this year. 'We've made effective use of CCTV, bodyworn video, and we've been able to bring a lot of people in front of the courts.' The police chief also said officers are working 'very hard' to contain the 'small pockets' of disorder this year. He said: 'I think they've been isolated because of a swift police response to them, and I think that's the key thing. 'If we can respond to serious disorder swiftly, I think we can contain that and prevent it from spreading across the country, so that's what we're working very hard on.' Since last year, Mr Drummond-Smith added: 'We've sharpened up our ability to mobilise quickly and move resources around the country so we can achieve that quicker.' Last summer's disturbances, which saw mosques and hotels housing asylum seekers targeted, were denounced at the time as 'far-right thuggery' by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. Police chiefs are now launching the national appeal for suspects wanted over 'significant' public order offences from the disorder, including throwing bricks and serious assaults of members of the public. Local and social media appeals sharing images of the suspects have already been used to try to track them down, but the senior officer said they could have travelled into the area from another part of the country. Mr Drummond-Smith said: 'One year on, we've still got some people who we have got good images of and we haven't yet identified. 'I think the key thing is having a good image of someone is one thing, knowing who they are is another. We're asking the public to have a look, and if they recognise anyone in those images, to let us know who they are and bring them to justice.'
