A mother died after complications linked to a hysterectomy performed by a notorious surgeon, an inquest has heard.

In 1992, Kym Gambie underwent what was considered to be a routine procedure performed by obstetrician Rob Jones.

He was later the subject of numerous safety reviews and expressions of concern over his practice.

Mrs Gambie, from Bodmin, died in 2015 having never regained her health after the operation at the Royal Cornwall Hospital, the hearing in Truro was told.

A narrative conclusion recorded that Mrs Gambie's death was linked to the hysterectomy by Mr Jones, but there was no evidence that the procedure itself was substandard.

Children as young as 11 have been investigated for sexting by Devon and Cornwall Police.

It's illegal to possess, take or distribute sexual images of someone who's under 18 - including one's self.

Experts said youngsters may not realise sexting could be a crime, or how quickly a picture could end up being widely shared.

The force said there was clear national guidance not to criminalise children, and it was generally accepted there should be an initial warning.
