JAILED | A man, who murdered an innocent and defenceless lady as she walked through a park in Exeter, has today been jailed for life after being handed a 28-year sentence. Following a three-week trial at Exeter Crown Court, the jury reached a unanimous verdict in finding 31-year-old Cameron Davis, of Exeter Road in Exmouth, guilty of the murder of 74-year-old Lorna England in February last year. At the sentencing hearing today [Thursday 11 July], Mrs Justice Stacey addressed Davis, who had his head down in the dock, telling him that he would be sentenced to 28 years imprisonment, with a reduction of 508 days he had spent on remand since he was arrested. The term of 26 years and 222 days must be serviced before he is subject for parole. Judge Stacey said: “Cameron Davis, you are to be sentenced for the murder of Lorna, but no punishment that you received will ever compare to the pain that you have inflicted on Lorna and her family. On 18 February 2023 you decided to kill a stranger if you did not get your way. You took your time selecting a large boning knife from Lidl which you bought for that purpose and drank vodka, smoked cigarettes, and ate sweets outside the Wonford Sports Centre […] you set off across Ludwell Velley Park and went to a quiet wooded area away from the CCTV cameras and selected a lone female on her way home from shopping. It was a planned and premeditated attack. It was a terrible fate of Lorna to be walking through that part of the park at the time that you were also there.” Judge Stacey finished by praising family: “My last words must be to Lorna’s amazing family to acknowledge once again their terrible loss and thank them for sharing their powerful statement about the impact of this crime on their lives.” The court heard from several members of Lorna’s family including her husband, daughter, and son. Lorna’s husband of 52 years addressed the court while reading out his victim impact statement: “Lorna decided to walk to th

Did you know that 1 in 5 drink driving convictions happen the morning after? 😱 If you're planning to drink this weekend, make sure you're fit to drive before you get behind the wheel.

As part of #ResponsePolicingWeek last week, we joined patrol teams in South Devon on one of their shifts responding to calls from the public. The officers responded to a number of emergency calls, including suspected drug driving and a fight in a pub. Patrol officers never know what they’ll be faced with when they come into work each day. They have to be prepared to deal with a wide range of incidents, which can be complex and sometimes hostile and distressing. Thank you to all of our patrol officers across Devon and Cornwall for all you do to keep communities safe 🌟

Police reveal winning tractor name!
#LatestNews - Inspector Moors officially joins Devon & Cornwall Police! Last month, we launched a competition offering children living in Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly the opportunity to name the new Force Tractor. Almost 300 entries were received from children aged 12 or under and the winning name, selected by Assistant Chief Constable Glen Mayhew, was submitted by seven-year-old Eloise Bettison who came up with ‘Inspector Moors’. The John Deere tractor has been loaned to our Rural Affairs team, free of charge, by local agricultural machinery dealership Masons Kings and will be used as an engagement tool at agricultural shows and events across the region this summer. Eloise and her family were invited to Woofstock to officially unveil the new name, where she revealed to the team that she “thought it would be good for the tractor to inspect the moors” which led her to choose the name. Eloise helps her parents on the family farm and was very excited to have been chosen as the winner of the competition, adding that she “couldn’t wait to go back to school to tell friends and teachers”. The distinctive police livery has been drawing crowds and inspiring conversations with local farmers since the tractor’s debut at the Devon County Show in May, and its new name is sure to encourage even more. Devon & Cornwall Police Constable Clarke Orchard said: “The response to the competition was fantastic! There were almost 300 entries in total and several suggestions that would have made excellent names. “On Saturday, at Woofstock Festival, we revealed that Eloise was the winner of our competition with ‘Inspector Moors’ – a truly deserved win, and those of us old enough to remember the popular detective series Inspector Morse will appreciate the clever play on words. “Inspector Moors will be joining us throughout the summer to help us interact with members of the public and enable us to have important and meaningful conversations about

Prison for driver who killed cyclist while inhaling laughing gas. Sergeant Troy Bennett, of Devon & Cornwall Police’s Serious Collisions Investigation Team, said: “Harry Lock’s dangerous actions on the evening of 7 August 2021, where he drove while using nitrous oxide and contravened a red traffic light, had catastrophic and fatal consequences. “Those tragic consequences are felt by the family of Maria Perez-Gonzalez to this day as they continue to mourn her loss”. “As Lock starts his sentence, he can reflect on his poor choices that evening”. Driving while impaired is one of the ‘fatal five’ most dangerous driving behaviours that often contribute to fatal or serious road traffic collisions. “I urge all those who get behind the wheel to ensure they never drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs and that they drive carefully.”

Have fun, enjoy the football, but don't end up with a red card
Remember – your way of supporting your team might not be someone else’s. Too much to drink can lead to things like a lot of noise, passers-by being intimidated, urinating in public or even violent behaviour. Don’t be that person. Drink responsibly and put your safety and the safety of others first.

Domestic Abuse 3 - Myth busting
Sometimes when people have been in a relationship for a long time they don’t recognise that abuse is taking place, or they don’t feel they can do anything about it. This is a myth. Domestic abuse can happen to anyone and takes many forms. This video shows other myths about abuse.
