PC Andrew Harper was 28 and newly married when he was dragged to his death while answering a late-night burglary call in Berkshire in 2019. Three teenagers were jailed for manslaughter, with one sentenced to 16 years and two to 13 years. Since the killing, PC Harper’s widow Lissie has campaigned for the killers of emergency workers to get mandatory life sentences. And now, the government has said the so-called Harper’s Law will be introduced in England and Wales as soon as possible.
Mrs Harper, from Wallingford in Oxfordshire, said it had been a "long journey" but her late husband "would be proud to see Harper's Law reach this important milestone". Home Secretary Priti Patel said: "It is with thanks to the dedication of Lissie and his family that I am proud to be able to honour Andrew's life by introducing Harper's Law." The law could be on the statute books by early next year. You can read our earlier explainer on the campaign here.

A couple were killed in their home as their two children slept upstairs, police have said. Jennifer and Stephen Chapple were found at the house in Norton Fitzwarren, Somerset, on Sunday. They died at the scene. Their children, aged five and six, are being looked after by family members. Two men, aged 34 and 67, were arrested on suspicion of murder. The older man has been released under investigation. A post-mortem examination confirmed Mrs Chapple died from multiple stab wounds. Investigations into Mr Chapple's cause of death are ongoing.

A man accused of ramming a car into a Christmas parade in Wisconsin on Sunday is to be charged with six deaths after another victim - a child - died. Darrell Brooks, 39, wept as he was charged in court with five counts of intentional homicide. Prosecutors said further charges would be filed. Police say Brooks drove in a "zig-zag pattern" to hit as many people as possible at the Waukesha parade. Bail was set at $5m (£3.7m) due to his extensive criminal background.
The boy killed was eight-year-old Jackson Sparks, who was hit alongside his 12-year-old brother, Tucker. He had been marching with his baseball team when he was struck. His brother, who suffered a fractured skull, is expected by family members to recover.
