Major update into ‘murders' of two men seven years ago as cops STILL hunting body of victim who was ‘tortured to death'
POLICE have given a major update into the 'murder' of two men seven years ago as the authorities are still looking for the body of one of the victims. Four people have now been charged with conspiracy to murder as part of an investigation into the deaths of two men in Coventry seven years ago. 3 3 Johnny Robbins, 33, disappeared on March 21, 2018, and is believed to have been tortured before being murdered. His body has never been found. Mr Robbins' death has been linked by detectives to the murder of 28-year-old Daniel Shaw, who was found with gunshot injuries to his chest in Copland Place, Tile Hill, four days after Mr Robbins was last seen. Five people were arrested in an early morning operation at addresses in Coventry and Warwickshire on Monday, West Midlands Police said. The charges relate to the alleged kidnap, torture and murder of Mr Robbins only, as detectives have so far not been able to gather sufficient evidence to charge anyone in relation to the death of Daniel Shaw, the force added. Sam Jones, 26, and Ben Whyley, 36, have both been charged with kidnap, false imprisonment, wounding with intent and conspiracy to murder. Jordan Doswell, 29, and Junior Makosso, 28, have both been charged with false imprisonment, wounding with intent and conspiracy to murder. Thomas Young, 29, has been charged with kidnap and false imprisonment. All five are due to appear at Birmingham Magistrates' Court on Monday afternoon. Six other people who were arrested or voluntarily interviewed last year as part of the investigation will face no further action. I thought mom abandoned me as a baby but she'd been left 'without a face' in brutal murder - cops 'can solve it & won't' Senior Investigating Officer Jenny Birch said: "This is a really significant development in our investigation into the deaths of Johnny and Daniel. "We have said from the outset that we were absolutely committed to establishing the truth behind what happened to them, and that has been true throughout the many years we have been investigating. "We have spoken to Johnny and Daniel's families today to update them on the latest developments, and will continue to support them. "Seven years have passed, and allegiances change. "We still need people with information about what happened to do the right thing - pick up the phone and tell us what you know." Detectives are still appealing for information about the whereabouts of Ryan Hobday, from Coventry, who was 28 in 2018, who is wanted in connection with the murders, although officers believe he may also have been murdered. Anyone with information on the location of Hobday, or with any other information, can call 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

South Yorkshire PC famed for bike chase named officer of the year
A police constable who caught a car thief after swapping his patrol car for a passer-by's bike has been named South Yorkshire's Officer of the Year. Footage of PC Paddy Connell chasing a man who had stolen a Range Rover Evoque in Rotherham was shared widely on social media in April last year. After the Range Rover crashed, the suspect ran off and a member of the public offered PC Connell his bike, allowing him to continue the chase and arrest the suspect. PC Connell, from the Roads Proactive Policing Team, also arrested a man who South Yorkshire Police said was their "most wanted burglar" after a pursuit in January this year. Deployed stinger During that incident PC Connell spotted a Suzuki Cross 4x4 in Penistone which failed to stop and resulted in a chase lasting almost half an hour. During the pursuit, which went in and out of West Yorkshire, the suspect threw items - including a fire extinguisher - from the car. PC Connell deployed a stinger just before a roundabout at junction 37 of the M1 as the suspect attempted to get onto the southbound carriageway of the managed to take the vehicle off the road before it reached the motorway and both men inside were detained, including the "most wanted" who is now facing a prison sentence. In what South Yorkshire Police called a "strange" pursuit last April, PC Connell asked a suspect in a Range Rover to stop on Dalton Lane but instead the driver reversed down several roads, driving at 80mph in a 30mph area before suspect got out of the car and ran off, with the officer in hot pursuit - and an observer offered him his 25-year-old suspect was eventually arrested in a garden on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle. Chief Inspector of Roads Policing Peter Spratt said: "We are immensely proud of PC Connell and the recognition he has received."He is an integral member of the team and has had so many excellent results with colleagues, bringing offenders to justice and making South Yorkshire safer as a result."He added: "Our officers regularly put themselves at risk to protect the public, managing these incidents to a safe conclusion through tactics that require dynamic teamwork and skilful implementation of their training. "Well done PC Connell, you are a credit to the department." Listen to highlights from South Yorkshire on BBC Sounds, catch up with the latest episode of Look North
