'Body found' outside skyscraper in Canary Wharf yards from controversial migrant hotel
A body has been found outside a skyscraper in Canary Wharf, central London, just yards from a controversial migrant hotel. A forensic tent and cordon were erected outside Sirocco Tower, Harbour Way, a 32-floor skyscraper, on Wednesday, August 13, as emergency services attend the scene. The incident occurred less than half a mile away from the four-star Britannia International Hotel where migrants were moved to under the cover of darkness earlier this month. Tower Hamlets Council confirmed the Government intends to use the hotel - which has around 500 rooms - for asylum seekers in a move that has angered anti-migrant protesters and guests whose bookings have been cancelled. A resident said they heard sirens in the area at around 6am this morning but the exact nature of the incident is not yet clear. The Daily Mail has approached emergency services for more information. This is a breaking story, more to follow.

The Swissport Airline waste removal tanker was valued at €100,000. A second vehicle was privately owned and had been parked at the business park while the owner was out of the country. A third vehicle was a privately owned animal transporter truck which had been dropped to the business park for repairs. Det Sgt Pat Lyons previously objected to the granting of bail in the case citing the seriousness of the charges and the strength of the evidence against the accused.
