Summary

Rose West Evacuation Plan

Rose West, 72, was placed on an Evacuation Plan at HMP New Hall because she can barely move.
She cannot evacuate unaided in an emergency, prison staff said.
Her privileges were restored, giving her TV, DVDs, computer games and £20 weekly for the canteen.
Earlier this year she was disciplined for allegedly sexually assaulting a younger female inmate.

Summary

Ruth Ellis Memorial

A proposal recommends teaching children to stop life-threatening bleeding in schools.
The curriculum would address bleeding from stab wounds and car-crash injuries.
Education officials are reviewing the proposal with other safety-skill initiatives for primary and secondary pupils nationwide.
Ruth Ellis, the United Kingdom’s last woman executed, now has a headstone at her grave.
The memorial was installed 70 years after her 1955 execution following a family effort.

Summary

Woman Claims Uncle

The woman described here is not Rose West; she halted bullying by claiming serial killer Fred West was her uncle and adopting a swaggering gangster walk.
She now works in a hardware store and raises a family as a mother.
After Fred West’s suicide on 1 January 1995, she pretended to mourn and felt awkward at school.
She later moved from Somerset to Ireland, yet strangers still react dramatically when she mentions her full name.
