Working with actual dead bodies isn’t for the faint hearted, but spare a thought for the forensic entomologists who investigate the maggots and flies living in the bodies of murder victims that have been left to decompose.Once investigators have taken evidence from the grisly scene of a murder, the cleaners have to be called in. This messy and unpleasant job is also not without risks, with the potential for picking up diseases like hepatitis. Jim Harrison, 61, spends his days milking snakes for their venom by squeezing their deadly fangs. The venom extracted can be used to create anti-venom, to treat pain and clotting disorders, and for research into diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s.During his working life, he’s been bitten countless times by the slippery reptiles, and has ended up…

Time for a bum pick-me-up! Q My bottom’s dropped! I’ve always been proud of my pert butt… How can I get it back? Nancy, Bootle A A pert behind depends on two things – firm gluteal (buttock) muscles and not too much flab. After your 40s, muscles start to shrink and your buttock muscles are no exception, especially if you spend a lot of time sitting. As you grow older, especially after menopause, fat accumulates around your middle and buttocks, leading to the sagging that people unkindly call a dropped bottom. But it’s not inevitable! Careful eating to keep a healthy weight will reduce flab, and exercises will tone gluteal muscles and combat the loss of muscle bulk. Try leg presses, or squats and lunges with weights – but running,…

Curling up on the sofa, I turned to my grandma Jacqueline, then 57. ‘Where’s Mummy?’ I asked. It was 1997, I was only 5. For as long as I could remember, my grandparents’ house was home. Grandma flashed a look at my grandad Thomas, 61. Then both of them sighed. ‘We’ll tell you when you’re older,’ they said eventually. And it was only when I was in my teens that I learned the truth. When I was just 3, my mum had died suddenly. With my dad out of the picture, I had gone to live with my grandparents. They made sure my childhood was a happy one. Spoiled me like all grandparents do. But raised me right in the process. Grandma always dished up healthy dinners for us to…

Grabbing a toy car from her older brother, Kenni, then 2, trotted away. My little girl’s mouth was turned up in a cheeky grin. I knew that look well! Her big brothers, Jackson, 5, and Cason, 4, ran after her into the garden. Playful shouts and screams erupted as the boys tried to prise the toy from Kenni’s hands. That was my Kenni all over – the naughty little sister keeping her brothers on their toes. Cheeky and energetic, she was a lovable menace. Loved pretty dresses, but had a tomboy edge. Her favourite fancy-dress outfit was a Minnie Mouse dress with the famous cute ears and red spotty bow. Only, she’d put her unique spin on it by carrying around a toy dagger. ‘That’s my girl!’ I laughed as…

After nine days of testimony, the jury reached a unanimous verdict of guilty on all charges. After the verdict was read out, Godbolt said he ‘prayed to be a better man’. ‘But the devil came to kill and destroy. He wasn’t going to let that be. My life came to a screeching halt on that night. I couldn’t fight the battle that was raging inside me,’ he said. He told the court that he believed that his daughter was in danger from her relatives. At that moment, someone from the public gallery told him to ‘shut up’. Four of the convictions of capital murder carried the death penalty, but the jury had to agree unanimously for this to happen. In February this year, Willie Cory Godbolt was sentenced to death.…

Walking onto the Maternity ward, I could feel excitement bubbling inside me. It was January 2019, the day of our 20-week scan. And, with any luck, by the time we left, we’d know the sex of our baby. Me and my partner Simon, then 42, were secretly hoping for a girl. Had already picked the perfect name – Ada. And, to our delight, the sonographer soon confirmed we were indeed having a little miss. So far, my pregnancy seemed to be textbook. But then the sonographer said she couldn’t get a clear picture of our baby’s stomach. ‘It’s just because she’s at a funny angle,’ she assured. So we booked another scan for a week later, and then another. At the third attempt, a doctor noticed I had more amniotic…

GLASS-EYED KILLER On 18 September 2012, PCs Nicola Hughes, 23, and Fiona Bone, 32, were called to a house in Manchester after the report of a burglary. When they arrived, they were attacked with a gun and a grenade. Both died. Dale Cregan, a well-known criminal with a glass-eye, handed himself in at a police station shortly afterwards. In court, Cregan admitted murdering not only the two officers, but also father and son David and Mark Short. He was ordered to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Folding a sleepsuit, I popped it on top of the pile of tiny clothes next to the new pushchair. ‘I think we’ve got everything we need,’ I smiled to my boyfriend Dean, then 28. It was late 2014 and we were expecting a little boy in a few months. Dean and I met back in 2012 while both working at the same restaurant. After moving in together in early 2014, we decided that having a baby was the next step. ‘It’ll happen when it happens,’ we agreed. And we didn’t have to wait long. In June 2014, we’d found out I was pregnant and couldn’t have been happier! But, sadly, at just 12 weeks, I suffered a miscarriage. Dean and I were absolutely devastated. It meant when a pregnancy test…

Standing outside the Tube station, my eyes darted from person to person. Any minute… And then there she was, my sister’s beaming smile shining out. ‘Hiya!’ she called, arms outstretched to me. Antoinette, then 51, never failed to lift my spirits. It was January 2017, and every week she’d come from her home in Battersea, south London, to mine in Kilburn, north London. We strolled, arm-in-arm, back to my flat, where me and Nan, as we all called her, chatted over endless cups of coffee. I loved our time together, us two and our disabled brother Paul, 47, who lived with me. Just like old times. But we hadn’t always been this close. We’d been brought up in Ireland, our parents had 12 children. But sadly, when we were living…

Sons don’t know my secret Q I’m happily married, but regularly go away with a man I love. He and my wife are happy with the situation. A couple of months ago, I was in a restaurant with my man, and my son’s best friend saw us. I’m sure he clocked us, as we’re very affectionate. He looked as stunned as me!

3 ways to… free up your finances Adam Bullock, UK director of topcashback.co.uk shares his advice for saving cash during this tough time. 1 Start small If you want to make a financial overhaul, it’s best to start small. Instead of scaring yourself with investments and credit cards, make little steps. Start by always looking for discounts and cashback opportunities to boost your savings, then think about how to make larger contributions to your savings or debts. Then, take on bigger plans like housing deposits or investments. 2 Tidy your finances Keeping a track of, or constantly ‘tidying’, your money is the perfect tool for getting your finances where you want them to be. Daily budgeting and making the most of money-tracking or saving apps will give you greater control on…

Standing on top of Senlac Hill in Hastings, I took my place in front of the camera. ‘Three…two… one… Action!’ my dad Martin, then 39, said in his best director’s voice. It was April 2000 and my homework was on the Battle of Hastings. Most other kids in my class would’ve been spending their Easter holidays writing essays. Not me! ‘That would be boring!’ Dad had told me. So, instead, he filmed me doing a news report on the historical battle, while he pretended to be the next Steven Spielberg. Dad was always coming up with these wacky ideas. He and my mum had divorced when I was 4, so I only saw him during the school holidays. But each time I visited, it was like one big party. Eating…

New York’s JFK International is normally a hugely busy international airport. But it wasn’t the crowds of travellers that interested James ‘Jimmy the Gent’ Burke in JFK, back in 1978. It was the money. Only a few knew that German airline Lufthansa flew in currency to its cargo terminal there. Among that few was Louis Werner. A worker at the airport, he was deep in debt to bookmaker Martin Krugman, owing a huge $20,000 (around £16,000). Werner disclosed information about the cash flights to Krugman – and Krugman took this straight to Henry Hill, an associate of James Burke’s. And so a plan was set in motion. A team of six men would carry out a daring robbery… Tommy DeSimone, Angelo Sepe, Louis Cafora, Joe Manri, Paolo LiCastri and Robert…
