A SIXPENNY Handley nurse has retired after a career spanning 51 years.

She retired on Wednesday, March 31, and had a “lovely” send-off from colleagues at the surgery, which is part of the Sixpenny Handley and Chalke Valley Practice. “It is the patients that make it they are just amazing. If you can do something to make them better it is fantastic. It is also a tremendous privilege to look after sick people and to do that job. I’m going to miss it terribly, said Caroline.

An Oyo woman, Suliyat Taofeek, has been charged to court after she and her family were arrested by the police over a horrific torture of a 13-year old girl.
The girl, Aliah Oluokun, spent several days in the University College Hospital, Ibadan, with bodily injuries, including on her private part, PREMIUM TIMES had earlier reported.
After efforts to help Mrs Taofeek stave off justice by some local ‘powerholders’ in Oyo failed, PREMIUM TIMES understands, the police charged her to the Chief Magistrate Court last Thursday. She was granted bail.

As children, Esther and Rebecca Marshall were often mistaken for twins. I was 18 months older but my cheeky little sister was the leader, says Esther, who is now 31. She was confident and fiercely intelligent, with a smile that lit up a room.
Their parents, both busy London GPs, also worked in hospital outpatient clinics, so the two girls and their sister Sara, who is five years younger than Esther, would often go there after school, chatting to staff while they waited for their parents to finish their shifts.
