David Brickwood murder: Police find 'a number of items' during lake searchpublished at 09:52 Greenwich Mean Time 30 January 2017

Police say divers who spent four days searching Eastfield Park lake in Northampton as part of the David Brickwood murder investigation have recovered "a number of items".
Mr Brickwood was stabbed in his own home in the Abington area of the town in September 2015.
Det Insp Phil Mills, from the investigation team, says it's too early to say whether the items are related to the case, but they will now undergo a forensic examination.
Police have not specified what sort of items were found or how many.
