Wider issues are facing first-time buyers, such as concerns over rising house prices in rural areas.

In their judgment, Lord Justice Warby said on the night of the murder, David and Edward King twice left their home in Radnor Close to search for someone they had seen trying to open car doors, including those on a vehicle they owned, before they found and attacked Mr Charles.Edward King, who was 20 at the time of sentencing in 2023, sliced Mr Charles' knee with a 27-inch Samurai sword, and David King, aged 56 at the time of sentence, stabbed Mr Charles in the chest with a dagger.

At a hearing at the Court of Appeal on 2 May, Kieran Vaughan KC, for both men, said the convictions were unsafe due to "bad character" evidence wrongly being admitted at trial.Lord Justice Warby said this included text messages between Edward and David King, which "expressed hostility and violent thoughts towards thieves and burglars", and that "numerous knives and other weapons had been acquired and kept at the family home", including machetes.In the ruling, the judge said the evidence "was capable of demonstrating an obsessive and unhealthy interest in weapons", and dismissed the appeal bids.

Edward King also sought to challenge the length of his sentence, with Mr Vaughan arguing that his "age and lack of maturity" were not properly taken into account, and that he played a "secondary role" in the killing.But this appeal bid was also dismissed, with Lord Justice Warby stating that the sentencing judge had not "arguably erred".

We’re suffering so much… we can’t defend ourselves.”Ukraine is not as badly off as Olena Lupak fears, though it is understandable to feel that way in Kharkiv this month. Wounded men from the garden centre, lying in hospital beds with shattered limbs, were just as fearful.

“Honestly, I don’t know what will happen,” said Vitalii, whose legs were crushed by the ceiling as it collapsed. “I’d like it to end soon but I don’t know how.”In the bed opposite Oleksandr said Ukraine could not do a deal with Russia.
