In today’s News Roundup we bring you: the latest from Lori Vallow Daybell, who is asking for a new trial after being convicted of conspiracy to murder her husband; an update on missing Madeleine McCann and the evidence against Christian Brueckner; the indecent exposure convictions of councillor Sam Gould; our take on the recent UK Supreme Court ruling on the rights of transgender people, and an update on the recent mass shooting in Uppsala, Sweden.
We also introduced our new segment, Missing and Marginalised. Every week in News Roundup we will report on the cases of two missing people whose stories aren’t getting much media coverage, particularly people who are marginalised such as trans people and indigenous people. This week we focussed on Jax Gratton from Denver, Colorado, and Brett Charles Williams, missing from Islington, London.
