School was evacuated with parents urged to collect children after phone call
A primary school was evacuated following a menacing phone call warning of a 'bomb'. Bowlee Park Community School, in Middleton, was evacuated on Tuesday afternoon (June 24) before police attended the building. It followed a number of 'rude' phone calls made to the school, which ended with a threat by the person on the other end of the line.

Staff liaised with Greater Manchester Police before evacuating the building at around 3.30pm, with parents asked to pick their children up at the end of the school day. The incident is now believed to have been a hoax, and the school has reopened as normal this morning (Wednesday). A message sent by the school to parents and carers on Tuesday evening, seen by the Manchester Evening News, said: "This afternoon the school received a concerning phone call which was reported to police. "A young person made several rude phone calls to school and in the final call said 'I'm going to bomb the school'. Following police advice, we acted swiftly to evacuate the building and requested that all children be collected for their safety. "The police have since thoroughly checked the school site and we have undertaken a risk assessment. The threat is believed to have been a hoax, possibly made by a former pupil." GMP confirmed it was called about the incident at around 3.30pm yesterday and that the school was evacuated. It's understood the call at the centre of the 'hoax' was not recorded and the crime log has since been closed. The evacuation was the second incident to affect Bowlee Park Community School in recent weeks, after being placed into lockdown on Friday, June 13, following reports of a man being seen with a knife on the nearby Bowlee Park.

However, there is nothing to suggest the incidents are in any way linked. "Safeguarding the children is paramount to us and we continue to fully implement our policies and procedures and work with the police in all emergency situations. "School will be open as usual tomorrow [Wednesday]. The police are continuing with their increased presence in the community." Rochdale Council has been approached for comment. --- For the latest stories and breaking news visit Get the latest headlines, features and analysis that matter to you by signing up to our various Manchester Evening News newsletters here.

Peter Falconio: Australian police offer $500k reward for information leading to discovery of British backpacker's remains
Police in Australia are offering a $500,000 (£238,670) reward for information leading to the discovery of the remains of murdered British backpacker Peter Falconio. The reward has been announced ahead of the 24th anniversary of the 28-year-old's death. Mr Falconio and his partner Joanne Lees, both from Yorkshire, had been driving near the tiny settlement of Barrow Creek on the remote Stuart Highway in the Northern Territory of Australia in 2001. The couple were backpacking across the country in a camper van when Bradley John Murdoch pulled up beside them claiming to have seen sparks coming from their vehicle. He shot Mr Falconio in the head as he inspected the van, before forcing Ms Lees into his vehicle and binding her wrists with cable ties. She managed a daring escape, hiding in the outback scrub for hours before flagging down a passing truck. During the trial, prosecutors argued that Murdoch had likely disposed of the backpacker's body somewhere in the vast, remote expanse of desert between Alice Springs and Broome, covering more than 1,200 miles. Despite repeated searches, Mr Falconio's body has never been found. Murdoch was convicted in 2005 and sentenced to life imprisonment without parole for at least 28 years for the murder of Mr Falconio and the attack on his girlfriend. He has always maintained his innocence and has never revealed the location of Mr Falconio's body. Mark Grieve, acting Northern Territory Police commander, said officers "still hold out hope" someone may hold "vital information" to aid in the search. "In what will be the 24th anniversary of (Falconio's) death this July, being next month, we're asking for anyone who may believe they have information that can assist to please come forward and contact police," he told reporters in Darwin. "It's never too late to reach out, and at least start that conversation with police, because you just never know how beneficial that information that you may hold may be. "We recognise the passage of time that's transpired, however, it's never too late to reach out and start that conversation with police." Read more: Murdoch, 67, was diagnosed with terminal throat cancer in 2019 and was moved to palliative care from Alice Springs Correctional Centre earlier this month, according to local media reports. Ms Lees, who has since returned to the UK, told Australian current affairs programme 60 Minutes in 2017: "Pete lost his life on that night, but I lost mine too. "I'll never be fully at peace if Pete's not found, but I accept that that is a possibility." Murdoch lodged several unsuccessful appeals over the years, with Australia's highest court refusing to hear his case in 2007. He was not eligible for parole until 2033, but would have remained behind bars under "no body, no parole" laws preventing him from being released if he refused to disclose Mr Falconio's whereabouts.

Kenya Barricades Parliament on Anniversary of Deadly Protest
Kenyan security forces blocked roads leading to parliament and the president's office in the capital as thousands of protesters gathered in the city center to mark the first anniversary of anti-government demonstrations in which dozens of people died. Most businesses remained shut on Wednesday morning as police in riot gear backed by water cannons stood guard on key streets in Nairobi. Demonstrators in the western cities of Kisii and Nakuru chanted anti-government slogans, while marchers in the port city of Mombasa lit candles to commemorate the death of more than 60 people in last year's protests, when police used live bullets to disperse crowds.
