    • Fatal Army helicopter crash in Devon probed

      Investigation as to the cause of the helicopter crash that killed two people in Devon are underway.

      A witness told BBC News that the aircraft hit power lines before the crash. It is believed the helicopter was taking part in a low-flying training exercise. Nearly 12,000 homes in the area lost power as a result.

      Emergency crews were called after the Squirrel helicopter came down in dense woodland near Kingscott, Torrington, on Wednesday afternoon. One person was pronounced dead at the scene, and the other died later in hospital.

    • Exeter explosion: 'bomber' Nicky Reilly was sent text of encouragement

      A Muslim convert accused of trying to set off three homemade nail bombs in a packed shopping centre in Exeter received a text message of encouragement on the day of the attacks, the Daily Telegraph has learned.

      Investigating officers suspect Nicky Reilly, 22, who has learning difficulties, planned to commit suicide but do not think he could have constructed the bombs without help.

      He received a message on his mobile phone on the day of the attacks which officers believe amounted to a "message of encouragement."

      “He has a very low IQ and has received treatment on more than one occasion for mental illness. He would be very easily led," a police source said.

      “This really does mark a low point for Muslim extremists. We are all horrified by what has happened here."

      The comments came as armed police investigating the bombing arrested two men outside a cafe today.

      Eyewitnesses said the arrests took place this afternoon in Old Town Street, in the centre of Plymouth, Reilly's home town.

      Both men were reportedly searched and put into paper suits before being placed in unmarked cars

      Reilly had allegedly been using a type of rudimentary bomb not employed by Muslims extremists in Britain before which was constructed from sodium hydroxide, aluminium foil strips and an essential oil, combined with kerosene.

      The source confirmed that there were nails in the bag containing the devices, one of which partially detonated in the toilets of a restaurant in the Princesshay centre. The other two failed to go off.

      “It could be set off by shaking the mixture but we are still not sure if he was priming the device or actually planned to set it off in the toilets, believing it would blow out the whole restaurant" the source added.

      “If it had gone up it would certainly have caused a huge fireball and the idea he was doing that in a family restaurant packed with children is awful."

      Special Branch officers were monitoring a group of alleged radicals in Plymouth, where Reilly lives with his mother, which was based at a local mosque but Reilly was on the fringes of the group.

      The source said: "As part of our operations to monitor the activities of radical groups across the country we were aware of this group and of Reilly himself but he was right on the fringes of a group that did not appear to be planning any attacks.

      “At the moment we are looking at 200 separate groups and this was just one of those. We were observing them at a local level but had no detailed surveillance."

      Local people claim Reilly, who changed his name to Mohammed Rasheed, was"brainwashed" by a group that met at a fish and chip shop.

    • Devon electrical engineer who landed the £2,855,067 Lotto jackpot on Wednesday 12 ...

      Going online for the first time to play Lotto proved a positive move for a local electrical engineer who landed the £2,855,067 Lotto jackpot on Wednesday 12 March 2008.

      Peter Heal (37) is now one of the most eligible bachelors in Devon and is already planning for the future with a second home in France at top of his list. The cable laying supervisor has been playing Lotto for some years, but it was the first time he had gone online with his lucky numbers.

      Peter said: "My parents have retired to France, in the Poitou-Charentes region south of the Loire, so it would be nice to have a property over there, perhaps one with a vineyard. I'll keep my house in Newton Abbot though and I'm looking to get a new car."

      Two of Peter’s winning numbers, 38 and 41, were taken from his call sign at Western Power Distribution, while his birthday is the 26 January making up the 26 and 1, and his lucky number is 13. The number 47 was chosen at random.

      Peter said: "I was at home when I checked them. It's been quite a shock to the system and I'm still not sure whether I am going to continue working.”

      The winning Lotto numbers on Wednesday 12 March were 1, 13, 26, 38, 41 and 47, and the bonus ball was 7. Peter joins the interactive winners’ club – and is one of the 4 million plus winners every week on The National Lottery’s range of draw-based games and Scratchcards. With over 3 million users currently registered to play, the UK National Lottery is now the world’s most successful interactive lottery.

      This Wednesday’s (19 March) Lotto jackpot is an estimated £2.5 million, while Friday’s EuroMillions jackpot is an estimated £11 million. Every Lotto slip now comes with its own Dream Number, it is up to players to mark ‘yes’ to give their Dream Number its chance of winning up to £500,000, or choose a Lucky Dip®.
