Andrew Jordan, from Dublin, travelled to India for the case on Thursday but was left horrified when the two men, suspected of murdering his partner Liga Skromane, failed to show up to court. Umesh and Udayan - known only by their first names - were arrested and charged with first-degree murder and rape last May, but were released on bail until a trial date could be set. Latvian-native Liga, who lived in Ireland with her partner, was seeking treatment for PTSD with her sister at a wellness retreat in Kerala when she disappeared on March 14 last year. The 33-year-old's headless, decomposing body was found almost 40 days later near a mangrove forest in Thiruvallam on April 21.

Video footage captured outside The Boat Club in Durham yesterday shows the man dive into the River Wear in just a pair of shorts. After cheers from bystanders he clambers out of the water where he is met by a bouncer walking quickly towards him. The pair engage in a brief confrontation before the young man steps towards him and the bouncer starts trying to punch him over and over. The security guard is then joined by two other colleagues who also start to swing at the swimmer and knock him to the ground. A brawl ensues as people rush from the pub garden to intervene in the fight.

A woman has opened up about the harrowing moment she held a dying two-month-old baby in her arms on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Perth on Monday morning.  Nadia Parenzee (left) was a passenger on AirAsia flight D7236 (right) and offered to help a Saudi couple care for their crying daughter. She noticed the pair became distressed after not being able to settle down their baby girl, named Farah.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are reportedly considering a 'sabbatical' overseas, possibly in Botswana or South Africa, to work on behalf of the Commonwealth and charity engagements. The Government and the Palace will open talks about the scope of any role Harry takes up and who will pay for the costs of the trip. But concerns have already been raised that keeping the royal couple and their new baby safe in Africa will put a strain on the royal protection budget of the Metropolitan Police.

The Duke of Sussex walked just a few steps ahead of his brother into the service at St George's Chapel in Windsor, fuelling speculation they are feuding. Body language expert Judi James told MailOnline: 'With Meghan about to give birth soon, Harry was by himself but there were no signs of him joining up with William and Kate on arrival or leaving the church. If anything Harry appeared to avoid his brother.'

Temperatures peaked at 25C (77F) yesterday - giving partygoers in cities including Manchester, Birmingham and Blackpool the perfect reason to celebrate. Fun-seekers glammed up for the occasion, with many opting for Hawaiian or floral outfits to match the balmy conditions. But it all got too much for some, with several people seen slumped in the street (bottom) as their friends phoned for a taxi home and two men squaring up to each other in the street in Blackpool (top). Also pictured: Three women strolling arm-in-arm down Broad Street in Birmingham (left) and two partygoers riding on a stationary police bike in Blackpool (right).

Ian Rice (pictured top) paid £270,000 for his brand new home on the sought-after Aigburth Grange estate near Sefton Park in Liverpool (road pictured bottom inset) two years ago. He was drawn in by developer Elan Homes, but now says the first two years of living there have been the 'worst of his life'. The builder claims the house is covered in dirt and dust (outdoor area pictured right), leaving him unable to open any windows or doors, as well as suffering a burst sewer (maintenance work pictured left). Speaking at a resident meeting, Mr Rice said: 'I can't open my windows or doors because of all the dust and dirt that will come in. There is dust everywhere. We need the homes we paid for. This has been the worst two years of my life since I moved into this house. This company are a disgrace for what they have done to my family. This has cost me £270,000. I have been living in a prison for two years.'

Maggie Orgee, 65, says the giant evergreens block out the sunlight to her £300,000 home in Worcester, where she lives with her dementia-sufferer husband Robert, 67. The couple paid £200 to trim the hedges on their side of the fence but they still tower over their home. They say neighbour Ken Miles refuses to do anything about them. Pictures show how the couple have had their side of the boundary tree cut back, while the other side grows uninhibited.

Former Eggheads quiz show star CJ de Mooi has taken to Twitter to post a heartbreaking revelation - that he is dying of AIDS. Taking to the mircro-blogging site on Easter Sunday, the 49-year-old, whose real name is Joseph Connagh, wrote: 'I've been living with AIDS for 30 years but the agony of the last 3 years means I may not have many left.'

When Deborah West looks back over her marriage to Nick (inset at their wedding in 1979), she sees the writing was on the wall from the beginning after Nick took her to Middle Wallop, Hampshire, for their honeymoon. Nick then flew to the US for a week for a beer can convention without discussion. The former banker had a collection of 9,300 beer cans at its peak, but today it has been whittled down to 1,500 (main image) which are organised into boxes.

The black mare, aged between three and four, lay on the ground for up to three hours as it struggled to get over the potentially 'fatal' injury on Westgate Street, Cardiff, at 7pm on Saturday. It was seen to by a vet, who rubbed its feet to boost circulation, and people threw water over it. The pony recovered enough to stand and was taken to Whispering Willows Sanctuary in South Wales. Two men have been arrested.

The couple said that after their children left home the house looked dated and was 'hell to clean.' After they visited Ali's parents (right) in their retirement development, Dean Lodge, in 2013 that they had the idea to move in, too. Ali said: 'I don't want to spend my retirement cleaning my kitchen. I want to enjoy lovely walks and not have to think about moving again!'

A DPD parcel delivery driver has been caught driving into a parked yellow fiat on an industrial estate in Telford, Shropshire. The owner of the Fiat Ashley Whitsey, 26, said the damage could be worth as much as £1,200. The van hits the small car with enough force to push it back a few feet. The driver then gets out and checks no one saw his mishap before returning to his vehicle and driving off. But the driver did not realise CCTV at the industrial estate had captured the whole incident.

TV personality and adventurer Alison Teal, dubbed the 'female Indiana Jones', can be seen exploring the coastline of Tulum in Mexico with piles of waste choking the waters and obstructing her path. Other photos show a similar situation in the popular tourist spot of Bali in Indonesia. To highlight how bad the waste situation is, she took contrasting images of the Galapagos, where local communities are maintaining the islands via clean-up efforts.

Thor, a five-year-old Belgian shepherd, fell over while walking in the woods in Croatia and managed to get a 10cm stick lodged up its nose. After sneezing blood, its owner took the dog to the vet in Zagreb. After looking up Thor's nose, vet Dr Zarko Ciric noticed a small wooden object. But as he started to extract it, both he and the owner could not believe their eyes by the length of the stick that had been stuck up the poor dog's nose for days.

Justin Ervin caught the hilarious moment on camera when he shot a Nerf bullet directly into his brother Dylan's mouth in Spokane, Washington. Fortunately Dylan coughed up the small yellow ball on to the floor and saw the funny side of the prank.

A swan protected its territory on the Kennet and Avon Canal in Marden, Wiltshire by landing on the back of competitor's canoes - causing some to fall into the water. When one man tried and get the swan off the back of his canoe, he lost his balance and fell in the water. Peter Strong, a retired IT worker, captured the pictures of the bird attacking competitors on Friday, April 19. Left and top right: the swan swooping down on boats. Bottom right: a competitor in the water after his boat capsized.

A Tesla Model S has burst into flames in an underground car park in an affluent gated community in Shanghai. The video, which has already amassed 22 million views on social media, shows the electric car emitting smoke before it erupts into a ball of fire. All that remained of the five-door car was its charred remains and an Audi and Lexus parked next to it were also severely damaged. The owner said he bought it for £82,575 and it was not being charged at the time. No one was injured in the blaze.
