• WestStar TV Customers

    A power failure at Television Centre caused outages for WestStar cable customers today (Wednesday, 16 May). WestStar's headend is located in the main plant at Television Centre which lost both it's main power and back-up power around 11:30 a.m. Engineers worked alongside Corporate Electric to get services back up as quickly as possible once power was restored. The outage also caused WestStar to lose internet and phone service for a short period this afternoon. All services were restored by around 1:30 p.m.

Three men jailed for a 2009 murder get their convictions overturned, but one of them is quickly arrested in connection with another killing.

Patrick McField and Brandon Ebanks walked free from court this afternoon following their successful appeal. The third man, Osbourne Douglas, was also freed on appeal but was rearrested immediately on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder in connection with the death of Jason Christian who was shot and killed on Crewe Road in September 2011.

The judges did not give their reasons for overturning the convictions, but were told they will release the findings in written form at a later date.
