They stayed for 13 minutes longer than the maximum allowed time of 75 minutes. She said: "I think it's disgusting."

3 Curbs slapped on young thugs A MAN of 20 and four youths were handed Asbos after bringing terror to a Huddersfield estate. Daniel Stephenson and the four teenagers were said to have caused mayhem in Lowerhouses. One of their victims was a pregnant woman who was assaulted by some of the gang and who later suffered a miscarriage.

Stephenson and the four teenagers - who can't be named - were given interim behaviour orders preventing them from meeting each other in public.

4 Body find: two held TWO people were arrested after a man's body was discovered at a house in Batley.

The body was found at the house in Springfield Avenue on Monday night. The property was sealed off. Police later changed the investigation to a murder hunt and arrested a third man.

5 Driver didn't see man on bonnet in fatal collision A driver who killed a retired teacher in a hit-and-run accident will not face further charges. Geza Bago, 68, fled in his Mini Cooper after knocking down 79-year-old Alan Naylor on New North Road, Liversedge, on October 25, 2006, a Huddersfield inquest was told. Mr Naylor, a former teacher at Birstall C of E School and Norristhorpe Primary School at Liversedge, died four days later in Dewsbury District Hospital. In April last year Dewsbury magistrates fined Mr Bago, a retired turbine blade polisher, for failing to stop after an accident. And coroner Paul Marks ruled that there was insufficient proof to record a verdict of unlawful killing.
