London Trawling...

An elderly man was treated for burns and smoke inhalation at St Gearge’s hospital in Tooting after setting fire to himself whilst refilling a petrol-fuelled lighter.

He had apparently been smoking.

Fire Crew Manager Quentin Day said the incident was rare and warned:

“Smoking a cigarette while refuelling a petrol lighter is not a sensible thing to do.”

Words of wisdom.

SO SOLID CREW rapper “Megaman”, real name Dwayne Vincent is to face a third murder trial after a judge dismissed an Old Bailey jury.

He denies participation in the murder of Colin Scarlett, who was shot outside his home in Tooting in 2004.

It is alleged he urged Battersea man Carl Morgan to shoot the man by saying “burst him” before the fatal shots were fired.

In the first trial the jury had been unable to reach a verdict.

This time Judge Martin Stevens said he had to discharge the jury “in the interests of justice” because “material and fresh information” had come to light.

He told Mr Vincent: “I am deeply and personally sorry to have to deprive you of this trial.”

On hearing the news “Megaman” broke down in court and cried openly.

THE REMAINS of a Wood Green woman were discovered in her flat three years after her death, surrounded by un-opened Christmas gifts and with the heating and TV still on.

Her inquest at Hornsey Coroner’s court was attended by relatives.

Police said that she had probably died of natural causes and was only found when housing officials visited the flat because thousands of pounds of rent arrears had accumulated.

The Deputy Coroner recorded an open verdict.
