Mr Richardson died in hospital after being assaulted outside the Halifax Bank in Old Market Place on Monday evening.

Det Ch Insp Stewart Miller said: "There’s no suggestion that this lady was involved in the incident that led to Mr Richardson's death.

"However, she was in the area shortly before it happened and may be able to provide us with vital information, so we would be very grateful if she could get in touch."

A teenager from Grimsby who threatened to throw a toddler out of a window has been sent to a young offenders' institution after his original sentence was referred to the Court of Appeal.

The offences related to an incident at his ex-girlfriend's former home.

The case was referred to the Court of Appeal by the Solicitor General Robert Buckland QC MP.

The court said the original sentence was "unduly lenient" and said he must be detained for three years.

Just 12 sites have been selected for the list by Europa Nostra, external, which described itself as "the voice of cultural heritage in Europe", and the Grade II*-listed Ice Factory is the only UK building on the list.

The factory was built in 1900 to provide crushed ice for Grimsby's trawlers, to keep fish fresh in the ship's hold.

Other threatened buildings and sites include the historic centre of Vienna, the Castle of Sammezzano in Tuscany, Italy, and post-Byzantine churches in Albania.

Henrietta Billings, the director of SAVE Britain's Heritage, says she's "delighted the importance of Grimsby's fishing heritage has been recognised on the European stage":

The chair of the group behind £70bn plans to improve transport links in the North says it's the first time organisations are working with "one voice" to bring investment to the region.

A 30-year strategy to improve road and rail links between cities in the north of England has been unveiled in Hull today.

The plan was met with criticism in Hull from the former Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott, who claimed the organisation behind the plans, Transport for the North (TfN), doesn't have the powers necessary to bring about the improvements.

But TfN's chairman, John Cridland, said: "For the first time, civic and business leaders and transport operators are speaking with one voice on transport to make sure the North fulfils its potential."

He made the comments after storming out of an event to launch a £70bn transport improvement plan.

Not everyone was impressed with the plans, though, as former Hull MP and ex-Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott made a sudden exit from the launch event in Hull, branding it a "bloody fraud".

Transport for the North, which is made up of politicians and business leaders, said the developments, external could help create 850,000 jobs and boost the economy by £100bn.
