Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has spoken about the four-man leadership team for the squad this season
Enzo Maresca has confirmed that Marc Guehi and Gianluigi Donnarumma will be part of the four-man leadership team at Manchester City this season. January arrival Guehi and goalkeeper Donnarumma will both step up to take extra responsibility.

Ruben Dias will be the club’s main skipper for the year, taking over from Bernardo Silva after the Portugal international left on a free transfer in the summer. Erling Haaland also remains part of the group, despite Maresca joking that the No.9 could not be the main captain because the manager needs his skippers to pass on instructions to the rest of the team when they score rather than celebrate and the Norwegian scores too many goals for that.
With Rodri having also departed, there were two vacancies in the squad for captains. Maresca made the decision that he would pick the skippers rather than have a dressing-room vote, and also wanted to have an English player as part of his team.
Phil Foden had put his name forward but Maresca has opted for former Palace skipper Guehi who has already become an important part of the first team. The 26-year-old also stepped up into midfield in the opening game as Maresca sees more uses for him.
Enzo Fernandez, the club’s record signing after they paid Chelsea £125m for him on deadline day, has not been instantly added to the leadership team. The Argentine international was a key enforcer for Maresca at Chelsea and the manager was keen to reunite when he arrived at City this summer, but has refrained from naming him as one of the captains.

An inquest concluded Morgan Ribeiro, 20, died as a result of complications from gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey in January 2024
The heartbroken dad of a woman who died after a gastric sleeve op in Turkey has paid tribute to his daughter, telling an inquest: “She was a very passionate person. She cared.”

Richard Ribeiro shared memories of his girl Morgan Ribeiro, 20, moments after an inquest found she perished as a result of complications from the cosmetic procedure.
Tragic Morgan, who worked in a nursery for disabled children, travelled to Istanbul from her home in Croydon, South London, on January 5, 2024, for the weight loss surgery. Three days later, medics gave her clearance to fly back to the UK. But she took a turn for the worst during the return flight to London Gatwick, forcing the plane to make an emergency landing in Belgrade, Serbia, where she was admitted to ICU. She died five days later on January 13.
Assistant Coroner Laura Stephenson told South London Coroner’s Court many attempts had been made to contact Morgan’s surgeon, Dr Serkan Bayil, but that these were unsuccessful. She said: “It has not been possible to establish contact with the clinic or surgeon who performed it. I have [therefore] relied on the post mortem conducted in Serbia, information from the Serbian police..and information from Morgan’s partner about her travel.”

The court heard how Morgan underwent emergency surgery in Serbia where medics discovered her intestinal wall had ruptured. Ms Stephenson concluded her medical cause of death was peritonitis caused by the rupture, which likely happened as a result of the gastric sleeve surgery.
Medical notes from the private hospital Ozel Medivitia in Istanbul, where Morgan was treated, state she was deemed stable and fit for discharge. But her partner Jamie Brewster told the court she was suffering from abdominal pain and a fever, which worsened when they boarded the London-bound flight.
Devastated dad Richard sat alongside a friend at Friday’s inquest. Speaking through tears after being asked if he wanted to share anything about his daughter, he told the inquest: “Morgan was working in a nursery for disabled children, looking after children with special needs. She was a very passionate person. She cared.”

Morgan’s mum, Erin Gibson, previously spoke to the Mirror emphasising her need for justice. She said: “It’s wrong, it shouldn’t be happening. My daughter had her whole life ahead of her. It’s hard to adjust. Grief-stricken is an understatement.”
After years of suffering bullying due to her weight, Morgan decided to undertake weight loss surgery. A gastric band operation in the UK costs between £8,000 and £10,000 and Morgan paid £2,500 for the surgery in Turkey, it was previously said. In 2024, The Mirror confronted surgeon Dr Bayil in Istanbul. He denied botching it, saying Morgan suffered an embolism and insisted he did nothing wrong.
A chilling 37-minute police bodycam video released Thursday captures the gruesome moment officers discovered the body of a Pennsylvania college student hidden inside her own vehicle — a brutal killing her teenage boyfriend blamed on a “demon,” court records show.
Royce Moser, 18, of North Strabane Township, stands charged with criminal homicide in the death of Karoline Heintz, a student at PennWest California University. His 56-year-old mother, Rachel Moser, is accused of helping orchestrate a twisted cover-up to shield her son.
According to a criminal complaint, Heintz’s father raised the alarm when she failed to return to campus, tracking her location via an Apple AirTag inside her Jeep. Police located the vehicle in a campus parking lot, where the footage shows an officer peering through the dark glass with a flashlight before shouting for backup.

“Control, I need EMS here right now,” the officer frantically radioed. “I’ve got an unconscious female in the back of this car right now… I’ve got blood everywhere.”
After smashing two windows to reach the victim, officers confirmed the horrific scene.

In a police affidavit, investigators detail how Royce Moser allegedly snapped during an argument in his driveway, telling Heintz to wait before grabbing a knife from inside his home.
Moser told police a “demon took over” and instructed him to stab the young woman. After the attack, Moser shoved Heintz’s body into the rear hatch, took the wheel, and had his mother follow him to the university to dump the vehicle, according to authorities.

State police say the cover-up didn’t end there. Investigators allege Rachel Moser brought her son to her Beallsville home, ordered him to bathe, threw his bloody clothes in the washing machine, and stuffed the murder weapon into a trash bag. Police later recovered the knife after executing a search warrant.
Both mother and son face charges of tampering with evidence, abuse of a corpse, and obstruction of justice. Rachel Moser faces additional counts including hindering apprehension.
Defense counsel for Royce Moser declined to comment, while a representative for Rachel Moser did not immediately return requests for comment.

The mother-son duo are being held without bail at the Washington County Jail ahead of an Oct. 13 formal arraignment.
“This is a parent’s worst nightmare,” Heintz’s family said in a statement. “Karoline was loved by all. She was a kind, smart, beautiful girl. We want justice for our ‘sweet’ Karoline.”
Residents of a New Hampshire suburb have been warned to be on the lookout for a mysterious wild animal that has been terrorising the neighbourhood — and it could have rabies.

The police department in the town of Lebanon have received reports of three attacks occurring in the Centerra Park area since Sunday, August 30, with the unidentified creature described as ‘unusually aggressive’.
One horrifying encounter was caught on camera and shows the animal running out of a grassy area into a car park, before darting under a U-Haul lorry and appearing to lunge at the driver as they left the vehicle.
The creature is then seen jumping up at the driver, who tries to ward it off using an object in their hands but the animal rips it away before latching on to the person’s leg.
They eventually manage to shake it off, as another person jumps out of its way, with the animal running back under the van before it retreats to the woods.

Since the initial report, the Police Department has received information regarding two additional attacks involving what appears to be the same wild animal, they wrote on their Facebook page.
They have warned the public not to approach the creature, saying it has ‘reportedly displayed unusually aggressive behaviour towards people’ and have advised locals to exercise caution if ‘walking near wooded brush-covered or other areas where wildlife may be present’.
While they have been unable to confirm what type of animal it is, witnesses have suggested it could be either a gray fox or a fisher — which is a carnivorous member of the weasel family.
However, its aggressive behaviour has sparked fears that it could be suffering from rabies.

‘It’s concerning because of the animal attacking people,’ LPD Chief Phillip Roberts told local channel KMBC. ‘And then, you know, the fact that it’s coming out and scratching and biting at people. That’s obviously a concern to us.’

Rabies can be transmitted to humans via the bite or scratch of an infected animal, or through infected saliva entering the eyes, nose or mouth.
The virus, which can cause fever, nausea, vomiting, hallucinations and partial paralysis is almost always fatal in humans once symptoms appear — although it can be prevented if treatment is given promptly after exposure.
Police in Lebanon have said anyone who is bitten or scratched by a wild animal should wash the affected area with soap and water thoroughly and seek medical attention to determine whether rabies treatment is needed.
They added: ‘Anyone who encounters an aggressive wild animal should maintain a safe distance and contact police.’

The reports are the latest in a string of animal attacks which have swept parts of the US over the summer.
Most recently a Colorado woman in her 80s suffered abdominal injuries after a bear broke into her home in the middle of the night and attacked her in the kitchen.

The bear entered the woman’s home in Estes Park through a first-floor window at around 4.30am on August 27.
The homeowner woke up to discover the animal in her kitchen on the second floor.
She told officials the bear charged her, ‘scratched her across the stomach and knocked her to the ground’ before leaving through the same window it entered through.

It’s one of a string of incidents across the area, with multiple reports of bears breaking into houses and vehicles.
Authorities have said it is due largely to their natural food shortages being depleted by low mountain snowpack, wildfires and drought, leading them to take greater risks to secure food as they enter hyperphagia when they build up necessary fat reserves to survive hibernation.
Unveiling new safety measures across the capital today, the Mayor of London praised Metro’s investigation into an upskirting website showing hundreds of women and girls targeted.

Victims were filmed up close wearing shorts and leggings across London for at least three years, with the website claiming to own 400 videos.
A significant amount of the footage was taken in Stratford, as women shopped in Westfield or walked through the tube station.
But today, Sadiq Khan was in the same area to unveil a £15.6 million fund to improve safety in public spaces.
The fund is targeted specifically at making women feel safer, and includes more lighting in the evening, greenery kept high to stop predators hiding in shrubbery and more CCTV.

It follows Metro’s investigation into an upskirting website, which Mr Khan said left him feeling ‘sickened’.
He said: ‘It is not acceptable to see the website being monetised either. This is why we need to do more to tackle violence against women and girls.’
But istoday’s plan enough to stop the upskirters form targeting more women and girls, let alone more serious attacks in the capital?

On a path next to the Olympic Park, large metal orbs have been strung up above the trees. They will emit soft light in the evening to deter predators from attacking under the cover of darkness.

Benches have also been transformed into large ‘sunlounger’ style, to stop anyone approaching from behind. Trees have been trimmed as high as they can, and CCTV cameras sit prominently above everything.
Although this makes the space less ideal for attackers to commit offences, the two men filming for the upskirting website were hardly deterred by lighting and cameras.

All of the videos were taken inside buildings or in broad daylight. Tube stations and Westfield are also covered in CCTV.
They used DJI Osmo Pocket cameras, which fit snugly into the palm of their hands, and followed their victims for minutes at a time amongst hundreds of people.
‘The problem goes to the heart of society’
But what compels people to film vulnerable people from intimate angles in the first place?

In the website uncovered by Metro, there is not only a $50 payment to access all of the footage, but gambling adverts also pop up – meaning the site has been monetised.
Whatever money earned from the site will hardly be enough to live on though. Professor McGlynn suspects the real incentive behind the site is kudos from other men deep within the manosphere.
There are hundreds of videos of women being upskirted on a website uncovered by Metro
Gina Martin, who campaigned for upskirting to be made a specific offence in 2019, agrees.
She said: ‘The reason why I fought fror the legislation in the first place was because it was already an epidemic – this is hardly a new thing.’
Before the invention of smartphones, men would place mirrors on their shoes to look up women’s skirts, Gina said.

‘Women’s bodies are seen as something to be consumed,’ she said. ‘It’s about dominance and power, and the advancement of technology is only incentivising it.’
So, what can actually be done?
But all is not lost. Although lawmakers struggle to keep pace with technology, positive change can happen on a smaller scale.
Professor McGlynn said: ‘If places are willing to adapt and prevent, then you are already in a better spot.’

In Newcastle, the city council dished out Community Protection Warnings to two people who filming vulnerable people on the street.
This included homeless and intoxicated people, which was dubbed as ‘public humiliation for entertainment’.

The warnings stop the two accounts from filming, but can be escalated a formal Community Protection Notice which is a criminal offence to breach.
Professor McGlynn said: ‘So there is something that can be done to have a quick impact. Businesses like Wetherspoons banning Meta glasses is also a positive step which should be followed.’
But the biggest change can come from early intervention. Teaching boys from a young age about misogynistic behaviours can help prevent future criminal behaviour.
Gina said: ‘We need primary prevention, more eduction, and work from institutions to the top level of government.

‘If not, this is going to keep happening, and we will only be responding to crimes after they happen, rather than preventing them.’
Chibueze Chukwurah and Maxwell Uguanya allegedly attacked the man outside the Alpha Lounge.
Two former Aberdeen Uni students have denied murdering a stranger outside a nightclub in London.

Chibueze Chukwurah, 34, and Maxwell Uguanya, 33, also pleaded not guilty to the manslaughter of Taiwo Ekerin after allegedly attacking him outside the Alpha Lounge venue in Lewisham, south-east London, on May 24.
The court heard the pair met one another while they were master’s students at the University of Aberdeen.
Prosecutor Frederick Hookway called the alleged offending “serious impromptu violence which resulted in the death of another”.
Mr Ekerin tragically died in hospital on May 30 and James Manning, defending Chukwurah, told Southwark Crown Court on Friday: “The cause of death isn’t totally clear yet”.

Nigerian national Chukwurah, of Royston Road in Glasgow, worked two jobs including as an agency cleaner after leaving Aberdeen and has been living in the UK on a graduate visa, his defence said.
He travelled to London from Scotland, where he lives and has family, to visit Uguanya, of Enfield, north London, the court heard.
The two men were in the same nightclub as the alleged victim “and his crew” but there was “no particular interaction” between the groups until they left the club at about 4am, the prosecution said.
A dispute allegedly broke out and Chukwurah is accused of striking Mr Ekerin in the head with a punch, causing him to “fall back on the ground”.

“Indeed the defendant never got back up”, Mr Hookway added.
His co-defendant allegedly “then got on top of him” and dealt further blows.
Chukwurah also kicked him whilst he was on the ground, the prosecution claimed.
Mr Manning said “this offence was unplanned and impromptu” and there is no connection between the defendants and the alleged victim.

He was taken to hospital and is currently in a life-threatening condition, the force said.
“No arrests have been made at this stage and investigations are ongoing” they said in a statement.
“We are appealing for information or any CCTV, Dashcam, or Ring doorbell footage to be shared with us, you can do that by contacting us via 101 or at gmp.police.uk, quoting log 565 of 04/09/2026″ they added.

Tensions reached a boiling point in the Lindsay Clancy trial on Friday as jurors continued to deliberate, with one holdout refusing to agree with 11 others.
Clancy’s lawyer Kevin Reddington yesterday begged the judge to switch out the holdout juror who, the jury foreperson claims, is refusing to follow the law when it comes to reasonable doubt. The jury, who is made up of nine women and three men, have been deliberating for 36 hours.
It now appears that the juror is certain Clancy is guilty, and is voting that way. Reddington claimed on Thursday that they were doing so despite having ‘reasonable doubt’.
‘That juror told you that he would be able to apply the law to the facts as you asked him, and based on this note from this juror, it clearly and unequivocally indicates that they are basically 11 to one, and this person will not apply reasonable doubt to the evidence to return a not guilty verdict,’ Reddington said in court.

Earlier, the defense lawyer also accused the judge of ‘glossing over the issue’ and being ‘soft’ on the reasonable doubt instruction.
Raising his voice, Judge Sullivan responded: ‘What do you want me to do, get a brass band?’
Clancy is on trial for murdering her three children Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, eight months, at her Duxbury, Massachusetts, home in January 2023.
The former labor and delivery nurse has pleaded not guilty in her case citing postpartum psychosis, and if found not criminally responsible for the three murder charges, she will be sent to a state mental health facility.

Prosecutors acknowledged that Clancy was mentally ill, but maintain that she knew what she was doing at the time of the killings.

Judge and defense attorney get into a fiery exchange
Defense attorney Kevin Reddington accused the judge of ‘glossing over the issue’ and being ‘soft’ on the reasonable doubt instruction.
‘I would ask that you not just give them as I described it yesterday, as a soft inquiry: “Will you listen to my instructions?”‘ Reddington said.

‘I would ask that you specifically direct their attention to proof beyond a reasonable doubt and reinstruct them on that forcefully.’
Judge William Sullivan replied: ‘I think I did that yesterday, didn’t I?’
‘Yes,’ the prosecutor interjected.
Reddington doubled down: ‘You did it yesterday, you did it soft, you didn’t do it forcefully…’

Sullivan jumped in: ‘What do you want me to do, get a brass band?
‘I read the instruction as written. The fact that I perhaps didn’t give it my full inflection – I’m sorry about that. I’m not an actor.’
The judge continued to defend himself: ‘I am not glossing over this issue. Trust me, I’ve been thinking about this for a while. I’ll try to give it with more pizazz.’
Clancy family arrived at court
Clancy’s parents, Mike and Paula Musgrove, and her sister, Allison Ozga, arrived at court together for day seven of verdict deliberations.
Jury brought into courtroom
The jury entered the courtroom.
Judge Sullivan asked his usual questions: whether they had discussed the case and whether anything affected their ability to serve.

He then reminded the jury that they must follow the law as he gave it to them.
‘I wanted to remind you, as I instructed you earlier, it is your duty as jurors to accept the law as I gave it to you,’ Sullivan said.
‘You must follow the law as I give it to you, whether you agree with it or not.
‘With that, you may now resume your deliberations.’

Judge declines to inquire further about holdout juror
Judge William Sullivan declined to pursue any additional inquiry about the holdout juror who refuses to follow the law about reasonable doubt.
‘In this case here, I see no showing of the need for an inquiry of this particular juror,’ he said.
‘The note we’re referring to, the one from late yesterday afternoon, indicates that the juror has acknowledged doubt but has refused to apply it to the verdict.’
Sullivan continued: ‘In reading that note carefully and strictly in the way that I have to before I possibly invade the province of the jury, that note does not indicate that this is a person who has refused to follow the law.
‘This is not a case that there is any indication that the juror has refused to deliberate or has any reason or indicated that they would not follow the law.’

Defense attorney says juror lied under oath
Kevin Reddington claimed the holdout juror lied under oath.
‘Clearly judge, we have a person, who under their oath, stood in front of you yesterday when you did the individual voir dire, and according to this information, under oath, looked you in the eye and lied,’ he said.
‘That juror told you that he would be able to apply the law to the facts as you asked him, and based on this note from this juror, it clearly and unequivocally indicates that they are basically 11 to one, and this person will not apply reasonable doubt to the evidence to return a not guilty verdict.’
Why must jurors return a unanimous verdict?
American juries are not allowed to return majority verdicts in criminal cases after the Supreme Court ruled in 2020 that the practice was unconstitutional.
Before 2020, Louisiana and Oregon allowed majority convictions in criminal trials.
As a result of case Ramos v Louisiana, judges ruled that the Sixth Amendment requires a unanimous jury verdict to convict a defendant of a serious crime.

Who is on the Lindsay Clancy jury?
A panel of 12 jurors is deliberating in a private room on whether they find Lindsay Clancy guilty of first-degree murder, second-degree murder, or manslaughter.
The jury includes nine women and three men. The foreperson is a woman. They have not been sequestered for deliberations.
As of Friday morning, the group has deliberated for 36 hours without reaching a verdict.
On Thursday, the foreperson sent a note to Judge William Sullivan saying that one of the 12 was not following the law on reasonable doubt.
