Raymond Jacob dies after struggle at Stockport house of Vincent Cooke A householder arrested on suspicion of murder after the death of an intruder at his home has been cleared of any wrongdoing. Raymond Jacob, 37, suffered fatal stab wounds in a struggle at the Stockport house of courier boss Vincent Cooke. Cooke, 39, was later released on bail pending further inquiries into the incident in the early evening of 17 September, but on Friday was told by the Crown Prosecution Service that he would face no further action. Detectives investigating the stabbing said they had to determine whether it was “a criminal act” or if it fitCooke’s claim of self-defence. Cooke was initially at home alone at the detached property in Midland Road, Bramhall, at around 7.50pm but his wife, Karen, and their 12-year-old son returned during the melée. They escaped unharmed. Police and paramedics gave first aid to Jacob, who was a known offender, but he died shortly afterwards. Jacob’s family later said they had been “distressed” at the events and supported the police inquiry to find out what happened. A 33-year-old man from Heald Green, Stockport, is in custody charged with aggravated burglary in connection with the incident and is due to appear in court in December. Crime guardian.co.uk

The Iraqi government has decided that it wants American troops to stay, after all. U.S. soldiers are scheduled to turn out the lights by the end of this year, but Iraq would like some to stick around. Given the upsurge of terrorism and violence in the last several months, this is not surprising. Iraq, targeted as it is by Iran and other Islamists, is unlikely to be able to handle its own national security for a while. Nevertheless, any

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — With no warning, a few dozen students blocked a major avenue in central Athens, marching slowly up the middle of the street to make sure motorists couldn’t get through. Tempers frayed, horns honked. A driver revved his engine, swerved suddenly and charged up the sidewalk, narrowly missing a woman who jumped out of the way in alarm. The scene during a student demonstration this week reflected the increasing irritation and despair felt by many Greeks, weighed down by a financial crisis that has led to repeated strikes and demonstrations as the government desperately tries to avoid a default. “It’s a catastrophe. This has destroyed us,” said Nikos Trovas, who runs a…

Leaks are flying left and right as Samsung’s Unpacked event approaches, with the latest coming from Romania’s Mobilissimo.ro . Today, the site published new images and video of what could be the Samsung Galaxy Nexus — the long-awaited follow-up to the Nexus S . At this point, it’s difficult to say whether the device (model number “Tuna”) totally jives with the leaked specs we saw earlier this week, though its spacious display (rumored to be of 4.65-inch Super AMOLED HD stock) does look rather sharp. Other than that, the handset appears to boast a 1,750mAh battery, along with a five megapixel camera, and that rumored Ice Cream Sandwich UI, replete with onscreen buttons. Compared with the Nexus S , the front-facing camera on this device is shifted further to the right, with the proximity sensor nestled between the earpiece and the shooter, rather than all the way on the left. Its corners, meanwhile, seem less rounded than what you’ll find on the earlier version, though we noticed that it does have a micro-USB port lurking at the bottom center, much like its ancestor. Of course, we’ll have to wait until October 11th to see whether these shots are as good as advertised, but you can head past the break to see the purportedly authentic video for yourself.
