Special needs school garden wins flower show gold
A special needs school's kitchen garden has been recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS). Dubbed "the Living Larder", the garden – comprising a mix of vegetables and flowers – has been created by students from Scunthorpe's Trent View College. It received a gold award at RHS's flower show, which is being held at Wentworth Woodhouse in South Yorkshire. Head teacher Sarah Parker said gardening helped young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) to develop employability skills. Students spent months growing plants from seed to create the display, which was transported to the flower show. According to a description on the RHS website, key features of the garden are "white flowers, purple vegetables and green foliage". The charity said this resulted in a "striking visual impact through a carefully considered interplay of colour, texture, and structure". All the produce grown is due to be donated to a local food bank. Kyla, 18, one of the students involved in the project, said: "I enjoy planting, watering and growing from seed." Her teachers said gardening had helped her become more independent. Ms Parker said: "One of our main aims [of gardening] is to support as many young people as possible into employment." Gardening gave her students "value and purpose", she added.

Woman testifies in Atlanta murder trial of her twin sister who murdered ex-boyfriend
When a 22-year-old man was murdered, his ex-girlfriend with a history of violence was the chief suspect. But prosecutors had to eliminate her twin sister as a possible suspect before they could convict her. In the case against Kyla Lett for the murder of her boyfriend, Chryjhonne Rainey, authorities had to be prepared in case Kyla Lett tried to plant the idea that her twin sister Kayla Lett was the shooter, Fulton County Chief Senior Assistant District Attorney Nalda Charles said. Charles said eliminating a potential question mark for the jury was part of the reason Kayla was the first witness she called in Kyla's trial. Kayla testified she dropped off Kyla and her boyfriend at a Greyhound bus station in Ohio, where they would take a bus to Atlanta. Kayla confirmed it was her sister Kyla on a MARTA train on a video that Atlanta police found on Chryjhonne's cellphone that he recorded about two hours before the murder. Kayla testified she was in Ohio at the time. 'She (Kayla) absolutely, definitely did not execute Chryjhonne Rainey,' Charles said. Charles said Lyft records placed Kyla in metro Atlanta on the day of the shooting at a West End laundromat on October 8, 2022. Assistant District Attorney Michelle Andrews said the couple's relationship was toxic. They split while in Atlanta and Rainy took Kyla's belongings from the motel room they had shared, which is the apparent motive for the murder. Kyla Lett was convicted by a jury on March 28, 2025. 'We had one twin in one state and one twin in the other,' Andrews told Channel 2 Investigative Reporter Mark Winne. 'Judge Carnesale sentenced her to life without the possibility of parole plus five years.' Andrews said Rainey repeatedly called 911 reporting a woman pulled a gun on him. In one call he suggested he knew her, but didn't know her name, the kind of thing a domestic violence victim might do to protect the abuser. The defendant is a young, attractive woman. Not someone that we would stereotypically put as a domestic violence abuser. But yet she takes the life of an innocent 22-year-old,' Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said. 'I really grieve for this mother.' 'Kyla never admitted it was her in any of these videos or any of these photos,' Charles said. There was a lot of video related to the case, including footage of the shooting. Kyla changed her outfits, but her shoes, seen in surveillance footage, helped identify her.
