The family has also hit out at online trolls for posting "hateful" comments abut Miss Davis' death online.

"Sadly, we have also had to read some abhorrent comments and vile opinions on Madalyn’s Instagram profile," they said.

"We cannot comprehend how at such a traumatic time, a select few can be so heartless and target the most vulnerable suffering such acute emotional pain."

The family say they intend to lobby the government and social media companies over the issue.

The man was believed to have died from a "sustained assault", Lincolnshire Police said.

Two councillors in Long Sutton and Lutton used community grants to hire a lorry separate to the £49 per year district council-run green waste collection.

The waste which is collected goes to an anaerobic digester in Crowland.

Lutton Parish Council has now agreed to keep providing the service during the summer.

Long Sutton and Tyd St Mary councils are yet to make a decision.

Meanwhile, Boston Borough Council has just announced a 50% hike for its garden waste collection service - from £30 to £45 per year.

The rise is due to increased delivery costs and pressure on council budgets, the council says.

A murder investigation has been launched after the body of a man was found in Boston.

The man was found wearing blue New Balance trainers, Puma jogging bottoms and a Fishbone branded T-Shirt, similar to those pictured above.

Pupils who witness domestic abuse at home will be supported in school, according to Lincolnshire Police who've launched a new initiative.

Officers say children can be left frightened and confused by the experience.

But Operation Encompass will see police pass details of incidents to local schools, where designated specialists will make sure the right support is available.

Assistant Ch Con Kerrin Wilson says witnessing abuse can have a ripple effect.

"If a child has been witness to their parents having an argument, they can be quite badly affected by this.

"They might not sleep, they might get agitated, and when they go into school the next day they're not paying attention.

"If they're being disruptive or naughty, schools will have an idea about what might have caused that," she added.

There had been about 27 referrals to schools in the initiative's first week, according to Assistant Ch Con Wilson.

Grimsby Town terminate the contract of Nigerian striker Moses Ogbu by mutual consent after four goals in 25 games.

Mobile speed cameras which were introduced on the Humber Bridge at the end of last year have made a noticeable difference, according to traffic officers.

The introduction of mobile cameras on the Humber Bridge was sanctioned back in November after a survey found there were about 25,000 journeys each day and the "majority" of traffic broke the limit.

In September, one motorist was clocked travelling over the bridge at 132mph.

The road, which runs from Hessle to Barton upon Humber, has a speed limit of 50mph.

Ruth Gore, from Safer Roads Humber, says introducing the cameras has made a difference.

"Staff who work on the bridge and people who travel on the bridge on a daily basis have noticed that a lot more traffic is abiding by that 50mph speed limit," she says.

Moses Ogbu has left Grimsby Town, the club has confirmed:

Train operator LNER has defended its Yorkshire-made Lincolnshire sausages, saying they have been made by chefs using an authentic Lincolnshire recipe.

A new LNER menu says its chefs have "recently enjoyed spending time with our Yorkshire butchers...developing the perfect Lincolnshire sausage".

But farmers and commuters have called for a re-think on the policy and argue the product should be sourced from Lincolnshire.

A statement from LNER said the firm was proud to showcase the products and produce from along the east coast on its trains.

The alarm was raised by a group of people who could not find her after taking photos at the site.

New South Wales (NSW) Police are speaking to the people who were with Ms Davis as part of the investigation.

A police spokeswoman said the body was yet to be formally identified, but it was believed to be that of Ms Davis. Officers have since spoken to her next of kin.

Eight schools, including four in Lincoln, have been taking part in the trial which began in 2017.

However, county councillors look set to end the scheme due to costs of rolling it out further and the limited number of schools the vehicles could cover.

A report due to go before a highways scrutiny meeting on 20 January will say councillors had concerns about extending the programme.

It will say: “Members of the working group recommended that after giving full consideration to the information provided by officers that the CCTV enforcement trial be ended.

"In part due to the cost, level of effectiveness and the limited number of schools the vehicle could cover. The costs of rolling the scheme out further were also a key factor."
