    Det Ch Insp Mark Swift, Det Insp George Bardell and PC Oliver Scoones, of West Yorkshire Police, are said to have breached professional standards of behaviour while investigating the death of Riley Siswick in 2016.

    The Independent Office for Police Conduct alleges the three men failed to conduct a thorough investigation and prepared a report to a coroner that was incomplete or misleading.

    Det Insp Bardell and Det Ch Insp Swift also face an allegation they failed to supervise an investigation appropriately, while PC Scoones faces an allegation he attempted to influence a witness over the evidence they provided.

    A misconduct hearing will take place on 16 September.

    In June, Kyle Campbell, 27, was found guilty of murdering Riley in Huddersfield, and jailed for a minimum of 20 years.

    Riley's mother, Kayleigh Siswick, also 27, was jailed for seven years after she was convicted of causing or allowing the death of a child.

    The study was led at the University of York by Professor Norman Maitland, who recently announced his plans to retire.

    It was funded by a local farmer who requested in his will that £100,000 of his legacy to York Against Cancer should be used on prostate cancer research.

    Holbeck Working Men's Club in south Leeds opened its current premises in 1878, although it had formed seven years earlier.

    No other working men's club has been in continuous operation for so long, Leeds Civic Trust said.

    The club had a new lease of life when it became home to the Slung Low theatre and community college.

    Hugh Gaitskell, former leader of the Labour party and MP for Leeds South between 1945-63, would often frequent the club while and comedian Ernie Wise performed there early in his career.

    The helicopter was returning to the YAA base at Nostell Air Support Unit near Wakefield at about 18:50 yesterday when the pilot had to avoid a "direct collision".

    The drone was being flown at about 1,300ft, which is more than three times the legal limit for operators, according to the YAA.

    Steve Waudby, YAA chief pilot, said: “We cannot stress enough the seriousness of what happened last night. The consequences don’t bear thinking about if a direct strike had occurred.

    "Whether the operator is aware or not, they have put the lives of our crew in extreme danger."

    YAA staff had spent most of yesterday working with the Civil Aviation Authority creating a drone awareness film, the charity added.

    The Ministry of Justice wants to build a new £91m Category C jail capable of housing more than 1,400 male prisoners on land adjacent to the existing high-security prison in Full Sutton.

    Many people living nearby say they're concerned about an increase in traffic.

    Category C prisons are training and resettlement prisons, which allow inmates the opportunity to integrate back into the community on release.

    The plans are due to go before East Riding of Yorkshire Council's planing committee this afternoon.
