Welsh activist recalls terrifying moment she was arrested abroad
Welsh activist recalls terrifying moment she was arrested abroad D. Murphy, a Swansea resident, was detained in Palestine of at the end of last month D. Murphy, a Swansea resident, was arrested by Israeli authorities while she was in a village in Palestine (Image: International Solidarity Movement ) A Swansea woman has recalled the moment she was arrested by Israeli police in an early-morning raid while volunteering in the occupied West Bank. D. Murphy, who is originally from Cork in Ireland, has lived in Swansea for more than 40 years and had been visiting the West Bank as a human rights observer with the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) when she was arrested last month. She has been going to the West Bank, particularly the village Khalet Al-Daba'a in Masafer Yatta, for more than 20 years. Never miss a Swansea story by signing up to our newsletter here. Ms Murphy and fellow activist Susanne Björk, 48, a Swedish citizen, were arrested by Israeli police on May 31 after being accused of being in a closed military zone. She has since returned home to Wales after reportedly being detained for 10 days. Recounting her arrest Ms Murphy told BBC Radio Wales Breakfast: 'I've explained to you how the place was demolished. "But violent, despicable Israeli settlers, armed settlers, came and forced two families out. They're untouchable and they know it. Article continues below 'And just to see grown men and women and grandparents having to sit there and take it because if you raise a finger against a settler you're under arrest. We stayed the night.' Describing the moment she was arrested Ms Murphy said she got up to use the toilet and "heard from the bathroom shouting shouting, shouting, and glass being broken". She has been going to Palestine since 2004 (Image: International Solidarity Movement ) She added: 'So the soldier smashed the glass of the door and he was like: 'Get out' pointing guns at us, you know. 'Passports, passports', which we gave. "How would you not when someone's pointing a gun at you, like, a rifle at you? And then they said: 'You're detained until the police come'.' The duo faced deportation and though Ms Björk returned home Ms Murphy spent 10 days trying to fight the decision, according to ISM, which also alleged that she was initially denied legal counsel. However her lawyer was later able able to speak to speak to Ms Murphy who eventually made the decision to return as she said that communication was difficult from the prison. She said she felt "outrage combined with a kind of heartbreak" at the fact she had "walked away from my friends when they really needed us there." She added: 'I really wanted to [stay and fight the deportation] but things didn't work out for me. Article continues below "Communication was impossible so it didn't feel like it would have achieved anything. 'So,I made the very sad decision to leave of my own accord at the end of the day.'

Hunt for mystery killer who stabbed dad to death as he slept in bed with wife
Kevin Childerley was killed in a 'savage attack' at his home in Mansfield Woodhouse, Nottinghamshire, 35 years ago - and police have now arrested a 62-year-old woman A mystery killer stabbed a "much loved" dad to death in a " savage attack" while he was sleeping in his bed 35 years ago. Kevin Childerley, 30, and his wife Denise, 32, were asleep at their home in Sherwood Street, Mansfield Woodhouse, Nottinghamshire, when they were attacked in the early hours of February 19, 1990, with their two young children in the house, Nottinghamshire Police said. The force said Mr Childerley died at the scene, but his wife survived the attack. The cold case is now being brought back to the limelight after a 62-year-old woman was arrested in April on suspicion of perverting the course of justice in connection with the incident. She was interviewed by detectives and bailed pending further investigations. Detective Chief Inspector Ruby Burrow of Nottinghamshire Police said: "This was a savage attack which took the life of a much-loved father and left his wife with lifelong injuries. Throughout our investigations we have been determined to get justice for both victims in this case, as well as for their two children and the grandchildren who never got to meet their grandad. "Kevin was a much-loved family man described as a 'joker' with a great sense of humour by those who knew him. The attack tore apart the family and robbed Kevin's children of a lifetime of memories. "The case has never been closed and a dedicated team of detectives has been reinvestigating what happened that night using the latest investigative tools and technology. Following recent developments we have visited the neighbourhood to engage with a number of people we believe could help with our inquiries. "It was a very positive exercise and I'd like to thank people for their co-operation. The arrest is also an important development and we have shared the news with Denise and other family members. "We know the answer to Kevin's murder lies within the community and we also believe allegiances and loyalties will have changed after the passing of more than three decades." Mr Childerley's daughter, Emma, who was just five at the time of the attack, which saw the killer climb through a kitchen window and strike her dad several times in the head, has also issued a new plea for information. Police are urging anyone who can help their investigation to contact them. DCI added: "I'd continue to encourage anyone with any information, no matter how small, to please continue to get in touch with our officers or anonymously through Crimestoppers."
