Convicted killer and Cheryl stalker admits breaching restraining order
Daniel Bannister pleaded guilty to a single charge of breaching a restraining order at Reading Magistrates' Court on Thursday, a court spokeswoman said. The spokeswoman said the charge against the 50-year-old stated that he attended an address where he 'reasonably believed or reasonably suspected' Cheryl to be residing. He was remanded into custody to appear at Reading Crown Court on September 23. A court previously heard Bannister 'can't stay away' from the singer and was jailed for 16 weeks at Wycombe Magistrates' Court in March for repeatedly turning up at her Buckinghamshire home while under a restraining order. He was initially jailed for four months in September last year where he was handed a three-year restraining order, but breached it by turning up at her home in December. During the hearing in which Bannister was jailed for 16 weeks, the court heard Cheryl 'immediately panicked' and was 'terrified' when she saw him outside her home – fearing for the safety of her eight-year-old son Bear. In 2012, Bannister killed 48-year-old Rajendra Patel in an attack at a south London YMCA shelter and pleaded guilty to manslaughter. Cheryl's former partner Liam Payne died last year in Buenos Aires, Argentina, after falling from his third-floor hotel balcony. She described the ex-One Direction star's death as 'indescribably painful' and voiced fears about protecting their son.

Major search in Ingleby Barwick near river for 13-year-old boy
Cleveland Police have appealed for information about Mylo Capilla, who was last seen at around 9pm on Thursday in an area known as the 'Muddies' in Ingleby Barwick, Teesside, near the River Tees. A large search of the area, which is close to Ramsey Gardens, has been carried out since then involving the emergency services. Cleveland Police said Mylo was believed to be wearing a dark T-shirt and dark bottoms. The force urged members of the public who want to help to first speak to officers. In a Facebook post, the force said: 'While searches are ongoing, officers are reminding members of the public in the area to liaise with them directly and for their own safety not to enter any water. 'If you have information that will assist officers please call 101 quoting reference number 117649.' More than 12 hours after the alarm was raised, the police helicopter continued to fly over a short span of the Tees. A police cordon was in place on Ramsey Gardens, around 200m from the river, to keep the public away from the search area. Cleveland Fire and Rescue Service and mountain rescue search specialists were also on the scene. One local said the Muddies is a large area stretching along the riverbank and it is a known place for children and young people to play.
