  5. Football: Burton Albion have proved a lot of people wrong, says midfielder

    BBC Sport

    Midfielder Jackson Irvine says Burton Albion have confounded the critics who felt they could not survive their first-ever campaign in the second tier.  

    Jackson Irvine scored the winner for Burton against Derby in August.

    The Brewers, 18th in the table, have all but secured a second season in the Championship, just eight years after winning the National League title.  

    Irvine's 10 goals for the Brewers this season include the injury-time winner at Huddersfield and the decisive strike against rivals Derby.

    BBC News Online

    A man described by a judge as an "insatiable gambler" has been found guilty of dismembering his wealthy friend and dumping his remains in a suitcase in Tintwhistle, Derbyshire - on the edge of the Peak District.

    The court heard Ming Jiang, 43, tried to solve his gambling and debt problems by killing his friend Yang Lui (pictured), 36, before chopping up his body and stuffing the torso in a suitcase.

    The suitcase was found by walkers on October 10 last year in a lay by just off the A628.

    The other body parts have never been found.

    During the trial the court heard Jiang was a heavy gambler who "lost more than he won".

    After murdering his friend he assumed his identity, gaining access to his apartment and bank accounts, where he took a total of £800. 

    Jiang will be sentenced on Tuesday.
