The jury deliberated for four hours before returning a verdict. In March 2019, Nouman Raja, then 41, was found guilty of manslaughter by culpable negligence and attempted first-degree murder with a firearm. Raja held his head down, showing no emotion as the verdict was read out. He was immediately taken into custody, and in the April was sentenced to 25 years in prison on both counts, to run concurrently. Speaking after the verdict was announced, Corey Jones’ father Clinton Jones Sr told the press, ‘We are here to let you know that today is a victory for our family, but at the same time we are still suffering. We’re still hurting because we don’t have Corey here with us.’ Assistant State Attorney Adrienne Ellis said, ‘I wanted the jury to get…

Smaller boobs left me scarred QI had a breast reduction last year and still have scars. What can I do to get rid of them? Chloe, Greenock ASome breast-reduction ops can leave large scars underneath your breasts. They’re even more obvious if you’re prone to hypertrophic or keloid scars, where excess scar tissue leads to a raised, lumpy scar.

Silicone sheets or gel from your chemist can moisturise, soften and shrink scars, but expensive creams may not help any more than simple moisturiser. Protect your scars from sunlight and rubbing against tight clothes and try not to scratch or rub them. Your surgeon might suggest steroid injections to flatten them, laser therapy…

Scrolling through the social-media apps on my phone, I felt a familiar knot tighten in my stomach. Each feed was crowded with pictures of skinny women flaunting their toned torsos in skimpy bikinis. They were everything I wasn’t. At 13 years old, I was a size 14. Up until this point, I’d never had a problem with the way I looked. I was aware that I was bigger than my friends, but as an active teen, I went ballet dancing and trampolining every week. And when it came to meal times, I enjoyed a healthy diet filled with fruit and vegetables. But I was a sucker for snacking on crisps and chocolate. Always ate bigger portions at the dinner table, too. So, over the years, I’d piled on the pounds.…

Studying my son Steven, then 21, I could tell he was excited about something. It was March 2009 and he’d just bounced through the door with a smile from ear to ear. ‘Come on then, tell me,’ I grinned. ‘You’re going to be a grandmother!’ he proudly announced Happy tears streaming down my cheeks, I was already imagining what an incredible father Steven would be. He’d always been so loving and caring. Already Mum to Tiffany, then four, I gave birth to Steven and his twin brother Bryan in July 1987. Life was tough for me as a single mother, but Steven was always there to help. When he could’ve been playing with his toys, he insisted on tidying the house or washing dishes. And he loved cooking, too. ‘I…

Remove him from my will? Q I’m so grateful to my partner. We’ve been together 32 years and it wasn’t long ago I made sure he’d be financially secure if anything happened to me, by putting him in my will. I’ve no children, so it made sense. But I found out he was left a house by his late aunt and changed his will, making his daughters beneficiaries.

Dee, 56 A I think this is chuffin’ stupid behaviour. How immature of you! I admire him for thinking of his children first. Change your will if you want,…

Christina Ratford, 29, London Carefully, I unwrapped the brand-new nappy caddy from its box and placed it in the new nursery. ‘It’s perfect now,’ I said to my husband Craig, then 27. In was early 2019, and a few months before, I’d found out I was pregnant. It was a big shock, but a happy one nonetheless. After finding out we were having a baby boy at my 20-week scan, I’d been buying baby clothes, toys, a cot, a pram, and heaps of nappies. You name it, I’d ticked it off my list of baby things.

Anyone who found themselves looking at Gina Virgilio’s Facebook timeline would think she lived a happy life. She often shared pictures of her friends and updates on her 3-year-old son. And one face that cropped up more than most was that of Michael Gonzalez, 24. The two were in a loving relationship and had announced their engagement in April 2012. To any onlooker, everything seemed perfect. But away from social media, things were not as they seemed. Gina, 25, had been battling drug addiction for five years. She’d experimented with cocaine, an opioid painkiller and marijuana. And soon she was using methamphetamine, too. In fact, at the height of her addiction, in January 2012, she went missing for two weeks. Turned out she’d been on a drug-fuelled bender with some…
