Every morning, before he leaves the house for work, Jim ­Connell stops at a small table in his hall, lights a candle and says a prayer in memory of his son Darren. 'It's a memorial table, with all his Gaelic football medals and a scrapbook that his friends made to remember happy times together,' says Jim, 47, from Oldcastle in County Meath in the Republic of Ireland. And every night before he goes to bed, Jim - who is married to Vera, 49, with whom he has four other children - does the same thing again. 'My last thought before I go to sleep is always Darren - and I know it's the same for Vera,' says Jim, who works in the dairy industry.

The parents of murdered Leah Croucher have spoken about their 'torture' as police blunders prolonged their agony whilst trying to find their missing daughter. Leah was found dead in the loft of a house on October 10, 2022 - almost four years after her disappearance on February 15, 2019, while walking to work on Buzzacott Lane, Furzton, Milton Keynes. During the search for Leah, officers told parents John and Claire Croucher that they had found a human scalp, which later turned out to be horse's mane, and mistook a severed foot for that of the teenager's. John had previously said that Leah was 'severely let down' by police and probation services after a coroner concluded that Leah was 'murdered' by Neil Maxwell following a series of failures by the authorities. Speaking to The Mirror about the distressing handling of the case by the force, John said: 'It was torture, we understand the police were doing the best they could. But they were making mistakes, too. We were called out from work one day to say they had possibly found a human scalp.

Leah, who was missing for almost four years, was found dead in the loft of a house on October 10, 2022 - almost four years after her disappearance on February 15, 2019, while walking to work on Buzzacott Lane, Furzton, Milton Keynes. Her father John delivered an emotional statement outside of court where he told how his daughter had been described as 'loyal, fierce, pure, with an infectious giggle and a smile that was always present'. He said that Leah was 'severely let down' by police and probation services after a coroner concluded that Leah was 'murdered' by Neil Maxwell following a series of failures by the authorities. Mr Croucher said that Maxwell 'was very clearly a dangerous individual' who 'benefitted from the failings [...], meaning he was able to slip through the gaps of proper and robust management'. 'It is astonishing that a repeatedly convicted sexual offender could possibly have been given a sentence as lenient as a community order,' he added.

Leah Croucher disappeared on February 15 2019, while walking to work on Buzzacott Lane, Furzton, Milton Keynes, and was not found for almost four years.

Police and probation services have admitted failings and 'lost opportunities' over the disappearance and murder of teenager Leah Croucher , a pre-inquest review has heard. Ms Croucher, 19, vanished while walking to work in Milton Keynes on February 15 2019, before her remains were found more than three years later in an empty house less than half-a-mile from where she was last seen.Thames Valley Police said previously that Neil Maxwell, a wanted and previously-convicted sex offender, was the prime suspect in the teenager's murder. He killed himself, aged 49, in April 2019 while on the run from police, and two months after Ms Croucher's disappearance.

Rohan Godhania (pictured left and right with his family) from Ealing, west London, became sick after taking the drink and dying after neurologists' instructions that he be tested for ammonia were dismissed. The 16-year-old's health worsened and he died two days later in August 2020, having suffered from undiagnosed Ornithine Transcarbamylase Deficiency (OTC) - a urea cycle disorder that prevents ammonia breakdown. Now, senior coroner for Milton Keynes Tom Osborne wrote to NHS England and the Food Standards Agency, recommending the use of 'prominent' warnings on protein labeling, as evidence indicates there is 'a danger' that future deaths may occur. Since a paediatric neurology professor sparked questions about whether Rohan should receive paediatric or adult care, he has also requested that the classification of 16 to 18-year-olds be reviewed.

Rohan Godhania, 16, (left) of Ealing, west London, became sick this week after downing a protein shake. After suffering "irreversible brain damage," he died at West Middlesex Hospital (inset). He died as a result of a rare disease that prevents ammonia breakdown in the late stages. Despite neurologists' recommendations, the hospital did not perform an ammonia test, which a coroner now finds could have 'prevented his death.' Pushpa Godhania, 57, (pictured on right with Rohan and her partner Hitendra), has now requested that the NHS investigate'silent killer' ammonia in emergency departments, claiming that under new conditions, a 'lot of people are dying unnecessarily.'

Rohan Godhania of Ealing, west London, became sick after drinking the shake on August 15, 2020, and died three days later at West Middlesex Hospital after suffering 'irreversible brain damage.' According to an inquest, a post-mortem examination performed on August 28th could not establish his cause of death, a late onset of the rare disease ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency. Before the mystery of his sudden illness was figured, his liver and kidneys were donated for transplant. The cause of his death was not announced until months later, when the recipient of his liver transplant was admitted to the hospital. Pictured: Rohan and his family

An organ transplant recipient became seriously ill after a donation from a teenager whose cause of death in Middlesex was a mystery, according to an inquest. According to senior coroner Tom Osborne, Rohan Godhania (pictured) became sick after drinking a protein shake in August 2020 and died in London's West Middlesex Hospital days later, suffering irreversible brain damage.

Neil Maxwell, a child of assault, was discovered hanged in a bike shed in April 2019, two months after Leah Croucher (pictured left), 19, went missing while walking to work in Milton Keynes. Maxwell's remains were discovered in the attic of an unoccupied home (inset) in Milton Keynes, where she may have passed on her way to work. Police named Maxwell as the chief perpetrator shortly after the discovery, and a murder probe is underway.

Ms Croucher vanished on February 15, 2019, and police announced in October 2022 that human remains had been discovered in a house in Furzton, Milton Keynes' loft, belonged to the 19-year-old. Mourners lined the streets of Milton Keynes as a cortege passed through the town toward Crownhill Crematorium, where a private service for friends and family was held.

The 19-year-old's remains were discovered in a house in Furzton, Milton Keynes, by a builder on October 10, 2022, almost four years after she disappeared. Leah (pictured left) was shot and killed by 49-year-old sex killer Neil Maxwell, who died two months after she disappeared, according to Thames Valley Police. The inquest into the teenager's death was opened and adjourned by Tom Osborne, senior coroner for Milton Keynes, who announced that she was identified by dental records. Ms Croucher was last seen on February 15, 2019 (pictured right), and it was assumed she was walking to work. Maxwell was the only suspect in the shooting after Leah's remains and possessions were discovered at a four-bed detached house in Loxbeare Drive, where the sex killer had been working as a handyman.
