Robert Bush has been sentenced to 20 years in Hull Crown Court for 67 offences tied to Legacy Independent Funeral Directors. Police found 35 bodies and hundreds of ashes misallocated or stolen from charities in a case that exposes a shaken trust in funeral services. Regulators vow tighter oversight as families pursue redress.
An inquest has recorded a narrative verdict after Emma Atkinson, seven months pregnant, fell from a ninth-floor window in Shakespeare Towers, Leeds. The incident, caught on CCTV, led to the delivery of her baby girl by emergency C-section. The coroner balanced evidence of a deliberate act with uncertainties about intent, while noting her past mental health struggles and family’s belief that she would not have harmed her children.
