Siblings' lost Cornwall school photo pops up 300 miles away
A childhood photo of a brother and sister from Cornwall has been reunited with them after turning up more than 300 miles away in a Lincolnshire charity Kirkum, 32, from Holsworthy, Devon, and his sister Jade Kirkum, 30, from Bude, Cornwall, were just children when they posed for the photo at Bude Junior School. Decades later, the framed picture resurfaced in an Age UK shop in Boston, Lincolnshire where it was posted on a Facebook group for quirky charity shop finds. Ms Kirkum, who was tagged by someone she had gone to school with, said: "I clicked on the link and couldn't believe it, it was us, it was the most bizarre thing." Mr Kirkum, a mechanic, said: "I was doing the washing up when Jade showed me the post. "I couldn't believe it, a photo of us from primary school, just sitting there in a shop hundreds of miles away."Chloe Poole, a local administration assistant, saw the post and retrieved the photo from the shop. She posted it to Ms Kirkum, who received it a few days later."I'm just glad she got it back," said Ms Poole. "Photos hold so many memories."The siblings do not know how the photo ended up so far from home, but suspect it may have been donated by a family member. "It just shows how powerful social media can be," said Ms Kirkum. "It's amazing this photo found its way back."

Siblings reunited with school photo found in charity shop 300 miles away
A brother and sister who were reunited with their primary school photo after it ended up in a charity shop more than 300 miles away said their story shows 'the power of social media'. Chris Kirkum, 32, who lives in Holsworthy, Devon, and his sister Jade Kirkum, 30, who lives in Bude, Cornwall, were roughly eight and six when they posed for a school photo at what was then Bude Junior School in Cornwall. Over the years, the photo, which was placed inside a brown, metallic frame, mysteriously ended up in an Age UK shop in Boston, Lincolnshire, seemingly lost to time. However, thanks to a post from Michael Beecroft, 42, from Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, who came across the photo during a visit to the charity shop and posted about it in a Facebook group called 'Charity Shop S**t' on March 9, the siblings were reunited with the nostalgic picture within a few days. 'I randomly joined the group as it appeared on my news feed and I thought it was quite funny,' Ms Kirkum, who is a full-time mother, told the PA news agency. 'One day, someone who went to school with Chris and I but was not in the same classes as us tagged me, and I clicked on the link and it took me to the picture of Chris and I, which was the most bizarre thing.' Mr Kirkum, who works as a mechanic, told PA: 'I was quite taken aback. 'I think I was just doing the washing up and Jade asked me if I had seen the Facebook post and I said no and when I saw it, I couldn't believe it was a photo of us two sitting together in primary school.' Mr Kirkum said he could vividly remember the day the photo was taken. 'At the time, I remember thinking to myself: 'Oh, she's got to sit on my lap' and I was grumpy about it,' he said. Chloe Poole – an administration assistant based in Boston – managed to retrieve the photo from the charity shop and posted it to Ms Kirkum on March 10, who received it on March 13. Ms Poole, 26, said she saw the Facebook post while on a break at work, so decided to retrieve the picture since it was close-by – she was even given it for free by the manager. 'Honestly, I'm just glad she could get the photo back. I know how many memories one photo can hold and I hope any decent person would do the same,' she told PA. The siblings said they were unsure how the photo ended up in the charity shop, but it could have been accidentally donated by a family member. Mr Kirkum added the pair's father was in 'sheer disbelief' when he was told the story. 'I remember his eyes being wide open and he didn't believe it until we showed him the Facebook post,' he added. The now infamous photo is with Ms Kirkum at her home. 'Our story shows the power of social media – nobody knew us and this photo has come back to us. It is amazing and just goes to show you social media is mad,' she added. Mr Beecroft created the Facebook post after spotting the photo nestled among photo frames during a day out to Boston, said he was pleased the story had a happy ending. He said he never expected the post to get so much traction, initially hoping it would just provide a bit of light-hearted humour. 'I didn't expect it to get as much traction as it did, I just posted it as a bit of a laugh to see if anyone would recognise them,' he said. 'I'm really happy it got back to them.'

EXCLUSIVE Bombshell update after Australian was arrested in Bali on drug trafficking charges as cops put him on parade in orange prison clothes
A second Australian arrested in Bali over alleged drug offences in as many weeks will avoid trafficking charges that could have seen him sentenced to death. Puridas Robinson, 40, from Queensland, was paraded in front of local media by the Bali Branch National Narcotic Agency (BNN) on Thursday following police allegedly finding a stash of marijuana at his West Denpasar villa. He was among 21 people arrested by the agency during April and May in a crackdown on illicit drugs on the popular holiday island. Aside from Robinson, there were four other foreigners in the group including two from Kazakhstan, one from the US and an Indian man, Harsh Vardhan Nowlakha, 31, who allegedly tipped detectives off about Robinson. The head of the drugs eradication unit at BNN, Senior Commander Made Sinar Subawa, told Daily Mail Australia Robinson will only be charged with drug possession, which carries a maximum 12 years prison term if he is found guilty, and that trafficking charges would be dropped. Robinson was arrested following the arrest of Nowlakha at Bali Airport last Thursday when he arrived from Los Angeles allegedly carrying 600g of marijuana. Nowlakha allegedly told investigators that he brought the drugs for Robinson and police followed him to Robinson's address where they swooped and searched the property. Robinson denied that he ordered the drugs. 'We could not find enough evidence to prove that the drugs seized from Nowlakha was ordered by Robinson. So we will only charged him with article 111 that carries a maximum 12 years prison term,' Made Sinar said. 'Therefore, the investigator decided to drop article 114 that was planned to be used.' But he confirmed Nowlakha was was still likely to be charged with the more serious article 113 and 114 of the drug law regarding importing narcotics. In Indonesia, marijuana is a Class 1 narcotic along with heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, LSD, and MDMA. While investigators could not prove Robinson ordered the drugs that Nowlakha allegedly brought into the country, they did allegedly find 20 grams of marijuana in Robinson's house. Robinson's arrest is just days after a fellow Queenslander was arrested for alleged cocaine trafficking in a separate drug bust. Lamar Ahchee, 43, was arrested in Canggu, a coastal village on the south-west coast of Bali, on May 22 accused of trafficking 1.8kg of cocaine worth $1.1m onto the tourist island. Police allege the Cairns man, who is the son of former Queensland senior constable Les Ahchee, collected two parcels of cocaine concealed in chocolate boxes , each containing 54 individual packets of the drug. Ahchee has denied being a drug dealer and claimed that he was 'framed'. Ahchee, a confessed drug addict, allegedly tested positive for drugs while in custody. His lawyer Edward Pangkahila said Ahchee denied any involvement in drug trafficking. 'He's telling me that honestly, he doesn't know what was inside,'Mr Pangkahila said.
