British Paralympian Sam Ruddock reported missing in Las Vegas
Sam Ruddock, 35, who competes in cycling and shotput events, arrived in the US on 13 April and was planning to attend Vegas's WrestleMania, his friend Lucy Earl said.
He stayed with her the night before he left - and is believed to have landed in the Nevada city - but has not been heard from since 16 April.
"He flew on the 13th, I've got confirmation that he landed, I absolutely know Sam was in Vegas, the concerning part is he went silent from the 16th and because he is such a big presence on social media people were quite fast to notice," she said.
Ruddock competed for Great Britain in the 2012 and 2016 Paralympic Games and has cerebral palsy.

"We urge anyone who has been in contact with Sam since April 16 or may have any information of his whereabouts to contact their local police department as soon as possible."
A Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) said it is assisting the family of a British man reported missing in Las Vegas.

Trans swimmer Lia Thomas stripped of medals after Trump crackdown
A transgender swimmer's medals are to be stripped, the University of Pennsylvania has agreed. The university will also have to issue formal apologies to every biological female competitor who lost out to a biological male, marking the end to a landmark legal battle. The US Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) found UPenn violated Title IX by 'allowing a male to compete in female athletic programs and occupy female-only intimate facilities'. The case focused on Lia Thomas, who last competed for the Ivy League school in Philadelphia in 2022, as the first transgender winner of an American collegiate title. The move comes as part of the Trump administration's broader attempt to remove transgender athletes from girls' and women's sports. Under the agreement, UPenn agreed to restore all individual Division I swimming records and titles to female athletes who lost out to Thomas, the Education Department said. The University of Pennsylvania also agreed to send a personalised apology letter to each of those swimmers. 'The department commends UPenn for rectifying its past harms against women and girls, and we will continue to fight relentlessly to restore Title IX's proper application and enforce it to the fullest extent of the law,' Linda McMahon, the education secretary, said. The Education Department opened its investigation in February and concluded in April that Penn had violated Title IX, a 1972 law forbidding sex discrimination in education. Such findings have almost always been resolved through voluntary agreements. If Penn had fought the finding, the department could have moved to refer the case to the Justice Department or pursued a separate process to cut the school's federal funding.

3 new arrests in case of U.K. nurse convicted of murdering 7 infants
London — Three former senior leaders at the British hospital where nurse Lucy Letby was convicted of murdering seven babies have been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter, police said Tuesday. All three were part of the senior leadership team at the Countess of Chester Hospital in the northwest of England between 2015 and 2016, when Letby was found to have killed the babies and attempted to kill seven others. Letby, 35, is serving 15 consecutive life sentences with no chance of parole, but there have been questions raised about the evidence used in her trial, and her lawyer has filed for a formal review of the case. In October 2023, following Letby's conviction, the Cheshire Constabulary police force launched an investigation into potential corporate manslaughter at the hospital, focusing on the decision-making of senior bosses, "to determine whether any criminality has taken place concerning the response to the increased levels of fatalities," according to a Tuesday statement by Detective Superintendent Paul Hughes. That investigation was widened to include the charge of gross negligence manslaughter, leading to the arrest of the three former leaders. All three have been released on bail pending further investigation, the police said. "Both the corporate manslaughter and gross negligence manslaughter elements of the investigation are continuing and there are no set timescales for these," Hughes said. "It is important to note that this does not impact on the convictions of Lucy Letby for multiple offenses of murder and attempted murder," he added. The Cheshire police are also investigating deaths and non-fatal collapses of babies at the neonatal units of the Countess of Chester Hospital and the Liverpool Women's Hospital between 2012 and 2016, where Letby did her training. Lucy Letby's controversial murder conviction Since her conviction, there have been significant concerns voiced over the evidence used to secure Letby's conviction, with The New Yorker, The Guardian, Private Eye and other outlets reporting on possible alleged flaws in the trial proceedings. In February, a group of experts held a news conference to dispute the medical evidence used to convict Letby. Dr. Shoo Lee, a retired Canadian neonatologist, said the group of 14 doctors had concluded that the newborns died either of natural causes or from insufficient medical care. "In summary then, ladies and gentlemen, we did not find murders," Lee said at the time Letby has maintained her innocence. Her defense attorney Mark McDonald said in April that the experts' findings had "completely demolished" the case against Letby, whom he argues was wrongly convicted. McDonald said he had submitted an application to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), which has the power to send cases back to the Court of Appeal. The CCRC has given no date for when a decision might be reached. In a statement sent to CBS News on Tuesday, McDonald said that despite the news of the three new arrests, "the concerns many have raised will not go away, and we will continue to publicly discuss them." "What is needed is a proper and full public inquiry into the failings of the neonatal and paediatric medical care unit at the Countess of Chester hospital," McDonald said, repeating his assertion that Letby was wrongfully convicted.

Man convicted of raping and murdering woman in 1967 gets life sentence
A 92-year-old British man convicted of the 1967 rape and murder of a woman in her home has been sentenced to life in prison. Ryland Headley was found guilty by Bristol Crown Court in southern England of the rape and murder of Louisa Dunne, who was 75 years old when Headley killed her nearly six decades ago. Headley was convicted on Monday and the verdict brought an end to a cold case that remained unsolved for 58 years. He was sentenced on Tuesday. He was told during sentencing that he had committed a 'pitiless and cruel act,' according to PA Media news agency. The judge, Derek Sweeting, sentenced Headley to life in prison, setting a minimum term of 20 years. 'You broke into her home, you sexually assaulted her and in doing so, you caused her death,' Sweeting said, per PA Media. 'You may not have intended to kill, but you planned to rape her, and you brutally attacked her. When you did so, you met her screams and struggles in a force sufficient to kill. The nature of these offenses demonstrates a complete disregard for human life and dignity,' the judge added. 'Mrs Dunne was vulnerable. She was a small, elderly woman living alone. You exploited that vulnerability. You treated her as a means to an end. The violation of her home, her body, and ultimately, her life, was a pitiless and cruel act by a depraved man.' The judge added that, given Headley's age, he will 'never be released' and will 'die in prison.' Dunne was found dead in her home in Easton, in the suburbs of Bristol, in June 1967. The police determined at the time that she had been raped and died of strangulation and asphyxiation. The local constabulary launched a major investigation: they took palmprints from 19,000 men, collected 1,300 statements and made more than 8,000 house-to-house calls, the Avon and Somerset Police said in a statement on Monday. Yet none of it led anywhere, and the case went cold. It wasn't until the police began reviewing the case in 2023 that investigators were able to get a full DNA profile of Dunne's killer from the skirt she was wearing when she died – using technology that was not available at the time of the crime. That DNA profile was then matched with samples taken from Headley following his arrest for two rapes in 1977, leading to his arrest in November 2024. 'For 58 years, this appalling crime went unsolved and Ryland Headley, the man we now know is responsible, avoided justice,' crown prosecuting solicitor Charlotte Ream said in a statement by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). Headley denied committing the offences, according to the CPS. A partial handprint found at the scene was also re-examined as part of the case review, the CPS said. The print of a part of a palm, between the wrist and the base of the little finger, was discovered on a window at the back of Dunne's house and was matched to Headley's hand by four experts. 'Headley never featured in (the) original investigation as he lived outside the area where the house-to-house enquiries were carried out,' senior investigating officer with the Avon and Somerset police, Detective Inspector Dave Marchant, said in a statement. Marchant said the 'extensive and meticulous work' that was done by the officers in the initial investigation paved the way for the police to solve the crime. He said that as part of the re-investigation, 20 boxes of original material were reviewed by the police. The CPS said that all but one witness in the case have died over the nearly six decades since the crime was committed, but that old statements were read in court as part of the trial. The CPS said that Headley's other offenses were also considered during the trial. While earlier convictions are not automatically admissible in courts in England, the CPS said that the similarities between the Dunne murder and rape and Headley's two previous convictions for rape were 'too great to ignore.' The CPS said Headley was convicted after pleading guilty of breaking into the homes of two elderly women in Ipswich and raping them. One of the women was in her seventies and the other in her eighties. Their accounts of the attacks to the police at the time were read out to the court. He was initially sentenced to life imprisonment, but this was reduced following an appeal to a seven-year jail term. Ream said the verdict on Monday was a 'demonstration of the commitment of the CPS, and our partners in the police, to relentlessly pursue justice for the victims of crime, no matter how many years – or decades – have passed.' But advocacy groups say rape convictions remain low in the UK and the justice process is incredibly slow. The Office for National Statistics says 71,227 rapes were recorded by police in 2024. According to Rape Crisis, a UK charity, just 2.7% of these cases resulted in charges being brought by the end of 2024. Official government data shows that it currently takes on average 344 days for the police to charge the suspected offender, 30 days for the CPS to authorise the charge, and 336 days for the court to complete the case. CNN's Olivia Kemp contributed reporting.
