In 2014, Martin Bell (pictured) was given a 12-year sentence for a hammer attack on Gemma Simpson who was 23.

Her body remained hidden for 14 years.

Bell pleaded guilty on the grounds of diminished responsibility to the manslaughter of Gemma, from Leeds, in May 2000. He had turned himself in to police in July.

During interviews he took officers to Brimham Rocks and showed them the burial site, telling detectives he had visited the site four or fives times since.

Paul Greaney QC, defending Bell, told the court the defendant heard voices telling him to do things and that he had "developed complex delusional beliefs" which saw him moving around the country because he believed a group of men was trying to kill him.

Bell had been sectioned in a mental hospital for about nine months in August 1999 and was released some six weeks before he killed Miss Simpson.

Doctors involved in the study say it's a "game changer" for many patients with the disabling condition, which attacks the brain and spinal cord.

It involves wiping-out a patient's immune system using cancer drugs and then rebooting it with a stem cell transplant.

A total of 100,000 people in the UK have MS, which attacks nerves in the brain and spinal cord.

Just over 100 patients took part in the trial, in hospitals in Chicago, Sheffield, Uppsala in Sweden and Sao Paolo in Brazil.

The Hardmoors 55 ultramarathon, in which 300 people ran over the North York Moors and Cleveland Hills on Saturday, was halted due to extreme conditions.

Cleveland Mountain Rescue helped rescue a third of the competitors at Kildale from 20:00.

Several all-terrain vehicles were needed to carry out the rescue.

A spokesperson for the rescue team described the weather as "appalling wintry conditions".

"At times the visibility was zero in the swirling snow and the covered road hard to make out," they said.

"The ice under the snow on the road made road-holding entertaining to say the least."

According to its website, the Hardmoors 55 takes runners from Helmsley to Guisborough and contains over 2,000m (6,562 ft) of ascent.
