Tomas Juska, 24, from Lithuania, died at Luton and Dunstable Hospital following an altercation along Court Drive, near the Gary Cooper pub at about 03:20.

A 21-year-old man from Luton arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm has been released on bail.

An arrest warrant issued against Milton Keynes business school owner Tina Beloveth Powerful has still not been executed - but do you remember how she first came to prominence?

Those with longer memories will know she first came to prominence when her Havard school was sued by American education giant, Harvard University in September 2013. The dispute was eventually settled out of court with Beloveth Powerful paid a nominal fee to re-brand her college.

She had claimed the school had originally been named after her grandfather, Havard. It was then re-named Everest, apparently after her father. Fortunately, the windows experts weren't bothered.

A footpath level crossing in St Albans has been temporarily closed by Network Rail after nearly 250 "incidents of misuse" in nine days.

In all, 248 incidents were recorded by Network Rail in the short period earlier this month at Cottonmill Lane level crossing in St Albans, from users wearing headphones that could prevent them hearing an oncoming train to someone lying down on the crossing.

Now, "options to permanently close the level crossing and provide users with a safer alternative for crossing the railway" will be considered.

Thames Valley Police are still searching for convicted fraudster Tina Beloveth Powerful more than a month after a warrant was issued for his arrest.

If she is arrested, her appearance for sentencing will be the twelfth time the case has come to court. Previous appearances had to be adjourned when Powerful failed to appear at the court and the trial had to be postponed when the business school owner, who defended herself throughout, lost her cool and started shouting at the magistrates.

Tonight: Rain soon clearing eastwards and aside from a passing shower tonight will be dry with clear spells and lows of 12C (53F).

Thursday: The chance of some showers tomorrow, especially in the afternoon; but a good deal of dry weather with spells of sunshine. Still quite breezy with highs between 18-20C (64-68F).

• Police have named a man who died after he was assaulted in Dunstable on Sunday
• More than £10,000 worth of damage has been done to a church in Hitchin after vandals smashed stained glass windows

We're talking Tina Beloveth Powerful today, with an arrest warrant against the Milton Keynes business school owner still outstanding.

In February 2014, Beloveth Powerful changed the name of her business school from Havard to Everest School of Transformational Management - after the US education giant paid her a nominal fee to re-brand her college.

But despite being exposed as a fraud in October 2013, I found she was still up to her old tricks:

• Everest was offering degree, Masters and PHD courses in Transformational Leadership, but was still not on the Department of Business' list of approved higher education providers and was not offering the course on behalf of a correctly accredited university
• When I posed as a foreign student and asked Everest who they were accredited by, Beloveth Powerful quoted her number at Companies House
• Everest claimed to be holding courses at Christ the Cornerstone Church, but the church said it wanted nothing to do with Beloveth Powerful who owed them thousands of pounds
• The Everest website featured Professor Leon Goldman as their Dean of Studies - but he said although he did some work for Beloveth Powerful about four years ago, he had never been Dean and she did not have permission to use his name or photograph on the website

Channel 4's Come Dine With Me has put out a last appeal for men from Milton Keynes to sign up for the next set of filming, and it hasn't passed the council by - they've suggested council leader Peter Marland put himself forward!

There is very slow traffic on the M40 northbound between J3-J4 because of a lorry fire. All lanes have re-opened but there's congestion to J2.

Buster, the 11-year-old bull terrier had been cared for at RSPCA Southridge in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire since January 2014 after he was rescued from a property in Edgware, weighing 12.6kg - half the weight he should have been.

New owner, Paul Roberts from Springfield in Milton Keynes, said: “I don’t know why no one wanted to rehome him sooner - he is a very clever, lovely dog.”

Tina Beloveth Powerful remains missing after being found guilty of fraud and false advertising. Her prosecution followed an investigation by the BBC which found she had been operating without the correct accreditation and claiming to work from facilities she didn't have.

Away from her business school, I also found: 

• Beloveth Powerful runs Beloveth International Ministries, which includes stop youth crime group Agapelove Stop Youth Crimes Global Network and another group called Agape Love. Both groups include Donate buttons on their websites
• Beloveth International Ministries website includes a letter from MP Mark Lancaster backing the youth crimes scheme. Mr Lancaster's office told us in October 2013 that they had asked for it to be removed a year previously, but it hadn't been. The letter remains on the website
• The letter said Navrita Atwal, then of MK Equality Council, was a governor of Agapelove Stop Youth Crimes. Ms Atwal told the BBC she has never had any connection with any of Beloveth Powerful's organisations

Former BBC Three Counties Radio presenter Stephen Rhodes has told me how his life has changed drastically after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease.

A woman's been killed in a three car crash in Buckinghamshire. 

A blue Peugeot, a silver Golf and a black Mercedes crashed on the A355 Amersham Road near Coleshill at about 18:30 yesterday.

The 29-year-old woman was declared dead at the scene. A man was airlifted to the Royal London Hospital where he remains in a serious, but stable condition.

The prosecution case against Tina Beloveth Powerful talked extensively about the non-existent facilities she had claimed to offer at her Milton Keynes business school.

Powerful is currently missing despite a warrant having been issued for her rest more than a month ago. The Trading Standards case came after a BBC investigation exposed Beloveth Powerful as a fraud.

My investigation found:

• The Havard School claimed to have a 'Correspondence and Central Office' at Ascot House in CMK, but this was actually Beloveth Powerful's flat. It did not have business use permission from MK Council
• The school claimed to have 'campuses' at Christ the Cornerstone Church and the Jesus Celebration Centre. However, the church said it only rented out a room for two hours once a week, and that Powerful was behind with her rent. The celebration centre had no connection with Havard
• The school's website claimed to have a 'Havard School Library' based at Central Milton Keynes Library. This did not exist
• The website told new students to go to the school's "UK Reception Admission Office" at Acorn House in Milton Keynes but no-one there had heard of either Powerful or Havard

If, like me, you'd never heard of National Dog Day before today, you'd be forgiven. But that's what it is! A day to celebrate pooches that work hard, play more and sleep a fair bit too.

The owner of Everest School of Transformational Management, previously known as Havard, is still missing after being found guilty of fraud and false advertising.

The Havard website included the phrases, "once you have arrived in the UK", "have been cleared by an immigration clearing officer", and "you will be living... alongside other students from across the globe". But the Home Office told me Beloveth Powerful didn't have permission to offer such a service.

A BBC investigation into fraudster Tina Beloveth Powerful found she was offering degree courses without the correct accreditation.

BBCCopyright: BBC

Thames Valley Police are still "working to locate" the Milton Keynes business school owner a month after a warrant was issued for her arrest.

When I looked into her Havard school in 2013, I found:

• Despite Havard offering higher education courses, the Department of Business, Skills and Innovation confirmed it had no public funding which meant it was running privately and needed to be accredited, otherwise it would have been in breach of trading standards regulations
• The school claimed to be accredited by The Institute of Administrative Management (IAM), the London Centre of Marketing (LCM) and the British Computing Society (BCS). All three schools said they had no record of Havard

Jon Boutcher, set to be the new chief constable of Bedfordshire Police, is seen as the continuity candidate, and will follow on the five year strategy set by Collete Paul which the force says is already delivering better results.

He faces severe financial challenges, and is seeking additional funding from the Home Office to provide extra officers for community policing and terrorism - a referendum in May by the Police and Crime Commissioner Olly Martins was unsuccessful in raising more funds from council tax.

Mr Boutcher will take up his post only after the police and crime panel have rubber-stamped the commissioner's decision.

We reported yesterday how Milton Keynes business school owner and convicted fraudster Tina Beloveth Powerful is still missing more than a month after a warrant was issued for her arrest.

BBCCopyright: BBC

The Trading Standards case against her Everest School of Transformational Management, previously known as Havard, came after a BBC investigation found she had been operating without the correct accreditation, without Home Office permission and claiming to work from facilities she didn't have. 

Throughout the day, I'll bring you all the background on the Beloveth Powerful case, including details of our investigation and how the case has come before magistrates eleven times.

A drunk man who drove at his wife and knocked her to the ground at a travellers' site in Bedfordshire has been jailed for 18 months.

Kimberly Smith had tried to stop Billy Joe Smith, 26, driving off when she saw he had alcohol in his VW Passatt at Chimney Corner in Kempston Hardwick.

Luton Crown Court heard how he "reversed the car back and then went forward into her.. She went onto the bonnet and fell off", suffering bruising to her legs.

An art installation with a difference has been unveiled at Central Milton Keynes Library - it doesn't just look impressive, it also measures environmental changes and takes photos of curious onlookers.

The six foot tall tower called the Measure of Us is made of computer components. It really can measure, specifically changes in C02 levels. Artist Stanza has also integrated smart phones in the tower to capture images of watching crowds.

Councillor Liz Gifford said: “This is a striking piece that reminds us how technology is changing the world in which we live".

Residents living close to Linslade Tunnel face two and a half months of night-time disturbances as essential repairs are carried out.

The new chief constable of Bedfordshire Police will be announced later, the BBC has been told.

The replacement for Collete Paul, who retired from her role just two years into the job, will need to be confirmed by the Bedfordshire Police and Crime Panel.

There were two candidates interviewed for the post.

Last month, we told you about a "poo smell" residents of Cuffley in Hertfordshire claimed was coming from a nearby green waste facility.

Now people say the odour, described as being like "fox excrement and dog dirt covered in sick" is worse than ever.

One day last week the Environment Agency received more than 100 calls, but it said investigators believed the "manure type odour" was not coming from the compost facility at Cattlegate Farm".

The airport has introduced Area Navigation (RNAV1) technology for departing flights which uses GPS type technology to draw planes away from densely populated areas.

Sabra Swinson from SOS said: "It means the planes will follow a much narrower path over the densely populated areas of St Albans, Hemel Hempstead, Redbourn and Harpenden."

Earlier this week we told you how part of a hoard of Anglo Saxon coins found Lenborough in Buckinghamshire was due to go on display at Bucks County Museum this week.

We can now confirm a small number of the coins - lent by permission of the the county's coroner - are on show in the foyer.   

The display marks the start of a pledge campaign towards purchase of the hoard to keep them in the county.

With the score level, the Hatters lost 8-7 on penalties to the Premiership side, with Luton defender Scott Griffiths missing his penalty in sudden death.

Campaigners are unhappy about Luton Airport's request to relax the conditions on noise levels from planes - despite the airport introducing new technology last week to reduce the noise from aircraft.

BBCCopyright: BBC

The Herts Advertiser reported the airport has asked its owner, Luton Borough Council, to change a condition on the 2013 planning permission because due to expansion, existing rules about noise levels are too stringent.  

And today, the Save Our Skies group in St Albans told BBC Three Counties Radio relaxing noise limits would lead to increased noise disturbance for residents, but the group is hoping the new technology will help to make a difference.
