‘SNATCH HORROR’ Man who ‘plotted to kidnap, rape & murder Holly Willoughby tried to snatch two women from train & pulled knife on teens’
A SECURITY guard accused of plotting to kidnap, rape and murder Holly Willoughby tried to snatch two women from a train and pulled a knife on teen girls, a court heard. Gavin Plumb, 37, passed one terrified victim a note telling her he had a gun and that he would shoot “you and myself and everyone else” if she did not follow him off the train, it was said. He wrote: “I have got a gun. All you have to do is keep quiet. Do what I say. So just stand up and get off at the next stop with me. Don’t cry or make a sound. Don’t stop me from touching you because I won’t hurt you. If you do all of this, no-one will get hurt but if you don’t I am going to shoot you and myself and everyone else.” [https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/28696367/security-guard-plot-kidnap-murder-holly-willoughby-trial/]

Editorial 25 June 2024.
Tuesday’s front pages have a little more variety than what we’ve seen over the past few weeks – with other domestic topics away from the general election finding themselves as the lead story.
The tabloids lead on the opening day of a trial of a man accused of plotting to kidnap, rape and murder TV presenter Holly Willoughby. Princess Anne’s accident at home – which has seen the 73-year-old taken to hospital, as well as England’s upcoming Euros match also make the front splash.
Elsewhere, politics make up the rest of the front pages with the left-leaning newspapers picking up on comments that the IFS think tank has said Labour and Conservative plans to improve public services are “essentially unfunded.” The right-leaning papers offer up their scrutiny of Labour’s plans if they are elected to government on 4 July.
