Woman who stabbed father-of-six on Christmas Day jailed for life
Police bodycam shows the moment Carless was arrested by police A woman who stabbed her ex-boyfriend on Christmas Day in the heart last year has been jailed. The court had previously heard that Kirsty Carless, 33, was "fuelled by cocaine and alcohol" when she took a taxi from her home in Cannock, Staffordshire to her ex-partner's home in Norton Canes in the early hours of December 25 last year. Carless, 33, took a knife in a taxi to confront Louis Price, 31, after seeing his profile on a dating app, Stafford Crown Court heard. The attack was 'motivated by anger and jealousy and fuelled by cocaine and alcohol', the jury heard. She was convicted unanimously of murder and possessing an offensive weapon in a public place. Carless was also found guilty by majority of assault occasioning actual bodily harm over a previous incident, but cleared of intentional strangulation. She was cleared of intentional strangulation in relation to the same incident. The trial was told Carless, of Haling Way in Cannock, Staffordshire, had been at the pub drinking double vodka and cokes with a male friend on December 24. While there, she plunged a kitchen knife she had taken from her home into Price's chest. The taxi driver reported that around 30 seconds after Carless let herself into the property with a key, he heard a 'very loud and prolonged' scream from a man and that he 'sounded scared'. Less than two minutes after arriving at the scene, Carless was 'anxious and sweating' as she got back into the taxi and demanded the driver take her to her parents' home, where she admitted what she had done and 999 was called. At the time of the stabbing, Carless was known to police. She had been on police bail after allegedly strangling Louis Price the previous year. A charge which she had denied. On that occasion, Mr Price phoned 999 to say Carless had poured bleach over tracksuits worth £400 after she put them in the bin, had thrown a glass candle holder at him, pulled him down the stairs and choked him. He was seen crying on police body-worn video footage, telling the officer: 'It's f****** embarrassing… it can't keep happening, man. In a witness statement after the incident, he said the relationship, which started in 2021, had been 'on the whole, abusive', that she had stopped him doing things he liked, such as playing football and had physically abused him. Police confirmed that a referral was made to the IOPC following recent contact. In her evidence to the trial, Carless said she had no recollection of stabbing him, was 'not a violent person' and had only gone to Mr Price's address as she believed he had taken money from inside a card she had in her home. She said she picked up a knife with the intent to destroy the caravan he was staying in in his parents' back garden and had 'panicked' after Mr Price was stabbed and fled. Narmina Rafiq of the Crown Prosecution Service said: 'This was a truly awful case that shows just how severe and calculated domestic violence can be. "Kirsty Carless did not have a sudden outburst, instead this was a deliberate and premeditated killing, following a series of events that began with jealousy over Louis Price's use of dating apps and ended in murder. 'The Crown Prosecution Service built a compelling case using DNA evidence, CCTV footage, witness testimony, forensic tests and pathological evidence that not only proved Kirsty Carless intended to kill Mr Price but showed exactly how it happened, leaving the jury certain of her guilt. 'Her unbelievably cruel and heartless actions have robbed six children of their father and his parents of their beloved son. We hope today's outcome brings them some comfort. Our condolences remain with Mr Price's family.'

Motorists warned of £200 fine for using headlights in harmless way
You might think you are being courteous, but you could end up in trouble with one common action Motorists could face a hefty fine for warning other motorists of speed cameras. Most drivers think they're being courteous when they flash their headlights to alert others of speed cameras, give way at junctions, or to even signal "thanks" to fellow motorists. However, these friendly flashes are actually illegal under Highway Code Rule 110 and could result in fines of up to £200 and penalty points. Even more alarmingly, drivers who flash their lights to warn others of police presence face potentially devastating penalties of up to £1,000 for obstructing police duties. Highway Code Rule 110 states that drivers should "only flash your headlights to let other road users know that you are there." It explicitly warns: "Do not flash your headlights to convey any other message or intimidate other road users." This means virtually every common use of headlight flashing is technically breaking the law, including warning other drivers of speed cameras, giving way at junctions, signalling "thank you," or expressing frustration. The penalties depend on exactly why drivers flashed their lights, creating a confusing two-tier system most motorists are unaware of. Car finance expert and owner of Simple PCP Claims, Tom Riley, said: "Most drivers flash their lights with good intentions, thinking they're being helpful. But the law is crystal clear, you can only flash your headlights to alert others to your presence. Anything else could technically land you in hot water." The regulations stem from the Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989. While Highway Code breaches aren't directly criminal, police can issue penalties when misuse creates danger or impedes law enforcement. The Crown Prosecution Service specifically lists "giving a warning to other motorists of a police speed trap ahead" as an example of obstructing police duties, making it clear that authorities actively target this common practice.

While prosecution for everyday "polite" flashing remains relatively rare, the legal framework exists to catch drivers who step outside legally acceptable bounds. Traffic officers are particularly vigilant about drivers warning others of speed cameras. The confusion arises because headlight flashing has become ingrained in British driving culture. Many drivers assume it's perfectly legal, having learned these habits during lessons or from experienced drivers. Tom Riley adds: "The £200 fine might not sound enormous, but add penalty points and you're looking at a serious hit to your driving record. For drivers who warn others about speed traps, that £1,000 maximum penalty could be financially devastating. The safest approach is simple, only flash when you genuinely need to alert someone to your presence." With road traffic enforcement becoming increasingly sophisticated, drivers using headlights as a communication tool are playing a dangerous game with potentially expensive consequences.

Rather than call for help, he callously left his vulnerable and elderly grandfather severely injured and went to a local pub where he assaulted two further elderly victims."Det Insp Gareth Unett of Warwickshire Police, said: "John Brown was a kind, gentle, hard-working man whose loss has left a huge void in the lives of his loved ones and friends."The legacy he leaves is not only in the love and generosity he showed to those around him, but also in the countless classic cars that will survive for generations more thanks to his work."
