Marvin Rees, the mayor of Bristol, said his thoughts were with the victim’s family.

Posting on X, he said: “This needs to stop. We will make every effort to support the family, the police and local community at this time.”

In the aftermath of the killing, police in the city have been given extra stop and search powers until 5pm tomorrow, but this could be extended.

Bristol teacher forced to glue his own dentures together amid dentist shortage | UK News

A teacher told Sky News he has resorted to gluing his own dentures back together amid a shortage of NHS dentists.

Norman Stephenson, 66, was one of hundreds of people who queued for treatment at Bristol’s newest NHS dental practice, St Pauls.

The office said they enrolled 1,500 people in two days after opening on Monday, but warned they will soon have to turn newcomers away.

Speaking to Sky News on The UK Tonight, the teacher said he’s been taking desperate measures to keep his dentures together while trying to get seen at a practice.

He told Sky’s Sarah Jane-Mee that he has been using hard plastic glue to repair a split in the false teeth, saying: “I tried several super glues but they were too brisk and they kept snapping every time I tried to bite into something.

“I discovered this hard plastic glue that kind of fits with the make-up of my dentistry. It had this movement so it wouldn’t break. I’ve had to use that ever since.

“But every couple of days or so, it finally breaks. So I have to go and do an operation over and over again.”

Mr Stephenson said that in his “desperate situation,” he originally tried to talk to his BUPA dentist who moved practices across Bristol.

The 66-year-old added that he was prepared to drive to his dentist, but said: “I was not allowed to see her and they were just talking about private treatment. So I gave up on that.

“I was told to phone 111, I phoned 111 and they sent me to several dentists, not just a BUPA organisation, gave me numbers, and I tried those and all they were interested in was private patients.

“Some of them said they had enough NHS patients, and really couldn’t take any more, and some just weren’t interested. But I just couldn’t get through.

“So I just practically gave up really. The reason why I’d done that was because these dentures were split in two. I’m an artist and a performer and I need to have my lovely smile.”

Dr Kunal Patel, clinical director of the Love Teeth Dental Practice, also told Sky News: “The reception staff, the team, the dentists, we want to help people like Norman.”

The dentist then said: “It’s not the clinics’ choice not to provide NHS treatment. If we’re an NHS practice, we have a certain quota, that we can only see a certain number of patients in.

“If we reach that quota, to see someone like Norman, what I would have to do is call up an existing patient of mine and say ‘Mrs X, do you mind not being a patient of mine anymore?'”

‘Clearly dangerous’ arsonist behind £2.6m Bristol shipyard fire sentenced to life in prison | UK News

A serial arsonist will spend the rest of his life in prison after starting a fire which destroyed a historic shipyard.

Robert Boyd-Stevenson, 46, was working at the Underfall Yard in Bristol for only three days as a maintenance co-ordinator when he lit the blaze.

Bristol Crown Court heard that the fire was started in the Big Shed shortly before midnight on 6 May, and within minutes was well alight.

The fire was so severe it destroyed the Big Shed as well as boats moored nearby. It also forced dozens of residents to evacuate from their homes.

Judge Martin Picton handed down a life sentence with a minimum term of six-years imprisonment after concluding Boyd-Stevenson posed a risk to the public from further offending.

“It appears when things in your life are going wrong you react by starting fires or making bomb hoaxes,” the judge said.

“It has happened with significant frequency to give rise to the concern you are highly likely to do so again – you are clearly dangerous.”

At a previous hearing, the defendant, of Headford Road, Knowle, Bristol, admitted arson being reckless as to whether life is endangered.

The court heard that Boyd-Stevenson has previous convictions for arson and bomb hoaxes dating back to 1997 and served an 11-year sentence for similar crimes.

Rebuilding the shipyard has been estimated to cost £2.6m and could take three years to complete, with £200,000 lost in revenue in the meantime.

Some businesses that used the yard have been forced to cease trading, and others have faced bills of up to tens of thousands of pounds.

Gregory Gordon, prosecuting, noted that the Grade II-listed boatyard dated back to 1809, and that many of the original Victorian-era buildings remain to this day.

Mr Gordon said: “The Big Shed is a machine workshop and it was one of the last remaining buildings on site that was used for its original purpose. It is a nationally historic, important site.”

Mr Gordon said forensic examiners concluded an accelerant had been used to the start the fire. Within 15 minutes, the blaze had rapidly spread to nearby boats.

Boyd-Stevenson’s wife, Laura, told the court she had noticed a change in his behaviour in the weeks before the arson, saying he was crying a lot and agitated.

On the night of the fire, Boyd-Stevenson unlocked the yard and went to the Big Shed where he started the blaze, Mr Gordon said.

“GPS data puts him at the yard between 9.47pm and 11.48pm,” he explained.

“CCTV records a person walking through the yard and CCTV from nearby streets records his vehicle in the area.”

Boyd-Stevenson then was said to have watched the fire from the nearby Millennium Promenade, where he took a photo of the blaze and sent it via WhatsApp to the Underfall Yard’s managing director.

He also carried out internet news searches for articles about the arson and contacted a woman he had been having an extramarital affair with, asking to meet her, the court was told.

The defendant returned home on the morning of 6 May, where his wife noticed he was calmer, in a similar manner to how he had been when he committed a bomb hoax at Bristol Airport in 2015.

He was arrested by police later the same evening.

Investigations found Boyd-Stevenson had also accessed pornography on a computer at the yard and had opened a document about the alarm system. There was also money missing.

Mr Gordon said the fire also caused a power outage in the sluice gates of Bristol Harbour, which could have caused “catastrophic damage” to the harbour walls should they have failed.

Major incident declared as Bristol tower block residents told to leave homes ‘immediately’ due to ‘risk to structure’ | UK News

A major incident has been declared in Bristol as residents in a tower block have been told to leave their homes “immediately” due to a “risk to the structure”.

The city council has asked all tenants at Barton House, in the Redfield area, to leave “as a precautionary measure” while more in-depth inspections are carried out.

About 400 people reportedly live in the building.

Surveys at three of the 98 flats found there is a “risk to the structure of the block” in the event of a fire, explosion or large impact.

Anyone who can stay with relatives or friends is being urged to do so, while the remainder will be housed in a temporary rest centre at the Tawfiq Masjid and Centre mosque where beds, food and drink will be available.

More rest centres are “in the process” of being set up, but it is not known how long residents will have to be away from their homes.

A council statement said: “The length of this temporary arrangement is dependent on a further survey of the building, which is being arranged to happen as soon as possible.

“All tenants will be kept regularly informed of progress and any updates on support arrangements.”

The council also said there is “no evidence” to “suggest there is any immediate risk to health and life”.

The statement added that Barton House is the oldest of the tower blocks in the council housing estate, with building work completed in 1958.

“The design and age of Barton House make it unique within the council’s housing estate. There is currently no evidence to suggest the issues identified within Barton House are present elsewhere, although the council is regularly surveying its estate as it works to meet all regulatory requirements,” it said.

This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.

Bristol ‘Kill the Bill’ rioters sentenced – as woman who urinated next to police walks free from court | UK News

A woman who urinated next to police and lashed out at officers during the “Kill the Bill” riot in Bristol has walked free from court.

Fleur Moody, 26, was sentenced to an eight-month prison term, suspended for 18 months, after admitting affray.

Moody, of Montpelier, Bristol, was also handed 80 hours of community service and must complete a rehabilitation order after getting involved in the unrest which engulfed central Bristol on 21 March last year.

The Kill the Bill protest against the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts bill, proposing to give extended power to police to shut down demonstrations, was initially peaceful.

But violence broke out leaving 44 officers injured and causing at least £212,000 worth of damage to police property.

Two co-defendants were both given 21-month prison sentences after admitting a charge of violent disorder during the sentencing hearing at Bristol Crown Court on Friday.

Christopher Hind, 38, of Eastville, Bristol, was caught on CCTV displaying aggressive behaviour, including pushing and kicking out at police, over a two-hour period.

Tyler Overall, 28, of Filton, South Gloucestershire, was seen to goad and attack officers, grabbing at their shields.

So far, 23 people have been jailed for offences committed during the riot for a combined total of 81 years and three months, Avon and Somerset Police said.

A “shameful night” of violence

Supt James Riccio said: “Three more people have been brought to justice for their actions on that shameful night.

“They all displayed criminal behaviour and admitted offences due to the significant amount of material, particularly moving footage, which has been gathered, reviewed and assessed, during the course of this ongoing investigation.”

Some 500 people are said to have descended on Bridewell police station during the riot, setting vehicles ablaze and smashing the windows.

Former Avon and Somerset Police chief superintendent Carolyn Belafonte described the riot as “nothing short of reprehensible”.
