The owner of a Milton Keynes-based haulage company says his business has received abuse from some people because the vehicles have the word ISIS on them. 

ISIS Relocation Limited has been using the name for nine years, which was named after the Egyptian goddess and stands for "caring and understanding". 

However, many people nowadays associate the name with the so-called Islamic State group, whose extremist fighters control parts of Syria and Iraq .

Owner Gabby Gomes told the BBC incidents including people writing abuse on the vans, customers refusing to have a lorry parked outside their home and phone calls saying they will blow their vehicles up.       

He said he's not prepared to change the name as it will cost him "thousands" and he wants to "stand by what I stand for". 

Three police officers have been disciplined after being found at fault for not shutting an icy road, where two men later died in a crash.

PC David Stamp was found guilty of gross misconduct and PCs Hugh Flanagan and Caroline Irwin were ruled to be guilty of misconduct at a police hearing.

The action was taken after a man's car skidded on ice on the A413, between Wendover and Great Missenden in Buckinghamshire, in March 2014.

He called police and the three PCs attended, but the road remained open.

Half an hour later there was a more serious crash on the same spot. Two men were killed and a woman was seriously injured. 

Mr Stamp was given a written warning, with Mr Flanagan and Ms Irwin receiving "management advice".

An inquest into the deaths of the two drivers is expected next month. 

Police are appealing for anyone who may have seen a vehicle driving erratically on the A413 or A418, between Milton Keynes and Aylesbury, on the night of the raid on Hang Yin Leug's home.

It's thought a vehicle carrying six people could have been on the roads between 18:30 and 21:40 on 31 January.

The 64-year-old's home was raided by a gang on Orne Gardens in Milton Keynes and she died a few days later in hospital after being hurt. It's now being treated as a murder inquiry.

Police would also like to hear from anyone who may have seen items being thrown out of a vehicle in the Weedon Road and Cromwell Drive areas. 

Det Supt Simon Steel said: "These criminals targeted a frail woman in her own home. 

"The group of burglars had a choice that night - they could have simply walked away once they realised the house was not empty, but instead they chose to force their way into a family home. 

"They made a choice to use violence against Hang."

Police investigating the killing of a former Hong Kong policewoman, who died following a gang raid at her Milton Keynes home, have released details of the stolen items.

Hang Yin Leung, 64, (pictured above in pink) fell unwell after the burglary at her home on Orne Gardens, Bolbeck Park, on 31 January.

She was admitted to hospital the following day, but died on 11 February.

Detectives say an Oyster model gold Rolex watch belonging to Mrs Leung's husband was stolen, alongside her long service medal from Hong Kong police.

However, some items have been recovered in Aylesbury.  

Rail operator Greater Anglia, says ticket prices are having to rise as a result of the number of people who are failing to pay the correct fare. 

Earlier this week, more than 100 passengers were prosecuted, and found guilty of a range of offences on the regional rail network. 

Juliette Maxam, from Greater Anglia, said: "The trouble is, if people aren't paying for their tickets, that means we're not getting the money from their tickets, and we use that money to invest in the railway to make it better for every passenger. 

"So, if you don't pay for your ticket, you're not only not allowing us to invest in the railway, but also it ends up with the prices going up for everybody as well."

The Conservative MP for Colchester says discretion should be used by local rail operators as they clamp down on fare dodgers. 

Earlier this week, more than 100 passengers were prosecuted, and found guilty, of a range of offences on the Greater Anglia network. The company said a "common-sense approach" was used.

"My concern is around people who do the right thing, but make honest mistakes," said Will Quince MP.

"I want to make sure all rail operating companies, including GA, are using discretion where appropriate.

"Where people have paid over £50 to get to and from London in a day, or £5,000 for a season ticket, that they're not penalised for sitting in the wrong seat, or when the train's full they sit in the wrong carriage, or they forget their season ticket."

East Anglian train operator Greater Anglia says its ticket inspectors issue between 4,000 and 6,000 penalty fares a month - but the issue of fare-dodging is costing companies millions, says Greater Anglia's Juliette Maxam:

A report is due to be published later into 2015's Shoreham air disaster.

Families of the deceased (nine of whom are pictured above) were invited to attend a private face-to-face briefing on the AAIB's final report on Thursday.

Leslye Polito, from Worthing, whose 23-year-old son Daniele was among the victims, said: "Like with all the other families, we want answers. I'm interested to know what the conclusions are in the report and to see if there is any new information."

The Formula 1 teams are halfway through their pre-season programmes following this week's test in Spain, and it is just becoming possible to view shapes of the year to come.

The 2017 season heralds a revolutionary change to the cars, following rule changes aimed at making them deliberately faster for the first time in decades.

The drivers have been revelling in the higher cornering speeds and greater demands on their skills  over four days at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya  this week.

Stevenage driver Lewis Hamilton could hardly contain his enthusiasm when it came to describing the sensation of driving his Brackley-designed Mercedes this week.

"The car is amazing," the triple world champion said. "It is definitely the fastest I have ever been in F1."

"Turn nine [a 160mph uphill right-hander], I am going out of it and I am like a kid on a rollercoaster ride because it is so much better than before."

There are problems on the A505 this morning after a lorry fire near Great Offley. 

The road was completely closed until 07:00. There's now one lane open, but very slow traffic.

After what looks like a promising start, cloud will thicken with persistent and occasionally heavy rain spreading north  through the morning. 

The rain will hang around the further north you are for much of the afternoon, but further south things will clear.

A cloudy end to the day for most of us. Highs today of 10C, that's 50F.

Self-confessed "monster" who strangled a teacher on a date is convicted of choking a prison officer.

Wasps centre Kyle Eastmond will miss the rest of the Premiership season after suffering a torn Achilles tendon.

The case of the teenager charged with stabbing a Hertfordshire police dog and his handler has been delayed.

The 16-year-old boy from London, who can't be named because of his age, was due to appear in court this morning, but the defence and prosecution teams have been locked in out-of-court-discussions.

The case has been due back this afternoon at Stevenage Magistrates Court.

The 16-year-old boy from London, who can't be named because of his age, is accused of attacking PD Finn, a German shepherd, and injuring his handler.  

The police dog was left with life-threatening injuries and the officer, PC Dave Wardell, was treated in hospital after the incident in Stevenage.  

Both have since made a full recovery and returned to active duty shortly before Christmas.

The accused denies actual bodily harm relating to the officer's injuries and one charge of damaging property, which relates to the dog's injuries.

A factory worker who tried to kill two of his managers with a knife and axe has been jailed for 20 years.

Peter Duffy, 54, of Elm Walk, Royston worked at Matthey Chemical Products Ltd in the town and believed the two managers were bullies, St Albans Crown Court heard.

However Judge Marie Catterson said there was no evidence of that.

Last July, Duffy hid in the car park with an axe under his hi-vis jacket and waited to attack 57-year-old Colin Betts from behind, hitting him on the head and upper body. He also head-butted him.

Duffy repeatedly shouted "I am going to kill you".

Mr Betts managed to wrestle the axe off Duffy, before he went to attack 46-year-old shift manager Mark Galley with a knife in his office.

He "rained down blows" during the attack and lunged for Mr Galley's neck. Duffy later told officers he was "aiming for the blood vessels", the prosecution said.

It took several members of staff to disarm Duffy, but he then calmly sat and waited for police to arrive.

In his chilling police interview, Duffy said "I wanted to kill them, as simple as that and I failed" and "If I am released, I will finish the job off".

When the police asked how many times he stabbed My Galley, Duffy replied "He is still alive, not enough".

The court heard Duffy was returning to work for his 22:30 shift after two weeks off sick. 

The judge found that Duffy was "dangerous" and posed a significant risk to the public.

Duffy pleaded guilty to the attempted murder of Mr Galley and to inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent on Mr Betts, as well as two offences of possessing offensive weapons.

He was given a 20-year prison sentence and will have to serve an extra 5 years on licence when he is released.
