Two men guilty of murder after car park stabbing
Two men have been convicted of murdering a man during a fight in a Rotherham car park. Lee Davies, 38, from Rotherham, died in hospital after being stabbed during an altercation on Drummond Street on 8 June 2024. A jury found Simon Welsh, 37, of Doncaster Road, Rotherham, and Jake Shaw, 27, of Canklow Road, Rotherham, guilty of the murder after a three-week trial. They will both appear at Sheffield Crown Court on 19 June for sentencing. Welsh was also found guilty of grievous bodily harm with intent, relating to an incident from November 2023. Another man, Martin Shaw, 46, of no fixed abode, was also on trial for murder but was found not guilty. Mr Davies' family released a statement following the verdict. They said: "Today we feel that justice has been served and we welcome the guilty verdict placed upon the defendants. "Losing our son Lee Peter Davies has taken an enormous toll on our family. "He will be missed beyond measure, especially by his two young children who now have to grow up and navigate life without a father." They added: "We would like to thank the jury, the heroic witnesses who came to court and the investigation team for their time and efforts and a special thanks to the prosecution team, the OIC and SIO and our family liaison officer. "We now ask that we are afforded the time to grieve for Lee privately knowing that his murderers are going to be punished appropriately."

Britain hosts key nations to coordinate fight against people smugglers
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain will on Monday host a meeting of more than 40 countries and organisations, including the United States, France and Vietnam, to try to coordinate internationally its fight against illegal migration and those who profit from it. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, like all his predecessors for more than a decade, is seeking new ways to stop migrants coming illegally to Britain, where immigration remains a key issue for voters who worry about the pressure it puts on scarce resources like healthcare and housing. Monday's Organised Immigration Crime (OIC) Summit looks to address every stage of the global industry in people smuggling, including the supply chains for the small boats used to travel from France to Britain, and the tech firms whose social media platforms are used to advertise such illicit crossings. "This vile trade exploits the cracks between our institutions, pits nations against one another and profits from our inability at the political level to come together," Starmer will tell the summit, according to advance extracts of his speech. Representatives from Meta, X and TikTok will participate. Migrants from North Africa, the Middle East, Europe and elsewhere pay thousands of pounds to traffickers for places in small inflatable boats that then try to cross one of the world's busiest shipping channels to reach the English coast. Starmer was elected last year, promising to "smash the gangs" behind the crossings. He immediately ditched the previous Conservative government's policy to deter migrants by setting up a scheme to deport them to Rwanda. More than 36,800 people made the crossing in 2024, 25% more than the previous year, according to British government data. More than 6,600 people have crossed successfully so far in 2025. "I simply do not believe Organised Immigration Crime cannot be tackled. We've got to combine our resources, share intelligence and tactics, and tackle the problem upstream at every step of the people smuggling routes," Starmer will say.
