Pair jailed for shop murder

Two men, twenty-one year old Cart Keatley and Jordan Caroll have been jailed for the murder of Michael Eccles, who was walking home from a shop in Staffordshire. Jordan’s father, Edward Caroll was also jailed for three years after trying to cover for his son’s murder by washing the blood stained clothes, as well as blood off the head.

The poor man was simply walking home after purchasing a bottle of wine and a bottle of milk when the savage pair intimidated and later murdered Mr Eccles by repeatedly kicking and thumping him to death. The cowardly pair have been sentenced to a minimum of over ten years in jail.

Popular London Paper to go free!

One of the popular London newspapers, the London Evening Standard is now going to be free to citizens. Around 600,000 of the newspapers costing 50p each are going to be given out free in London from 12th September.

The current circulation is around 250,000. This move comes about after Russian billionaire Alexander Lebedev taking control of the standard from daily Mail-owner associated newspapers in January. A rival, the London Lite paper was already free, though that paper ceased publication. The general idea was that the Lite paper which had a circulation of around 400,000 would merge with another newspaper, leaving just one paper left in London.

Return of the Dark Mars Bar…. for now!

Mars Inc, the owners of the Mars bar franchise have once again unleashed the ever-so popular dark flavoured Mars bar in the United Kingdom.

Having already been released and already been a favoured chocolate bar, the flavour has a second chance of success on the high streets. Not as popular as its predecessor bar, the original Mars bar, it still managed a fair success. Many people favour milk or white chocolate to dark chocolate due to its strong flavour, although it is good for the heart. An average Mars bar contains 259 calories per bar, which is 13% of an adult’s daily intake.
