To a casual observer there was nothing to indicate that Megan Stammers, 15, and her 30-year-old maths teacher Jeremy Forrest were aware that there was a fran- tic search for them going on across Europe. But yesterday it emerged that the married teacher and the teenager had taken care- ful steps to evade capture during eight days on the run in France. And extraordinary details began to emerge of the efforts the runaways had made to set up a new life together in the south of France. Yesterday it was revealed the teacher’s black Ford Fiesta was found abandoned near a railway station in Paris, where the couple were believed to have been spot- ted by a British tourist on Sunday. Megan and Forrest are thought to have made the 365-mile journey by train to Bordeaux in south-west France where Forrest was on his way to a job interview as a barman when police swooped at lunchtime yes- terday. The couple were strolling in the sunshine on the Rue Sainte-Catherine, the city’s main shopping street. Forrest was on his way to a job interview Megan, 15, was in tears as police led her away J\Zi\k Witnesses told how shocked Megan was led away in tears exactly a week after she was reported missing after failing to turn up for classes at Bishop Bell Church of England School, in East- bourne, East Sussex. It followed a joint opera- tion by British and French police after three reported sightings of the pair in the area in recent days. Last night Forrest was being held in custody at a secret location after being arrested on suspicion of child abduction. He was under- stood to be appearing before a French judge. Under French law he could face up to five years in jail – but it is more likely he will be extradited to the UK. A legal source said last night that Megan was stay- ing at the British consulate while preparations were made to reunite her with her relieved family. She had already spoken to her par- ents by telephone and was expected to fly back to the UK last night. The youngster yesterday had a medical examination as investigators began to piece together the pair’s movements after they fled Britain on September 20. A source close to the French investigation said: “She is on the surface safe and well but medical exami- Forrest, centre, is driven away from Bordeaux police station yesterday by plainclothes officers nations are taking place as a matter of course. The minor is in protective custody, while the adult is under arrest and in custody at a Bordeaux police station.” Police began closing in on the pair after a tip-off from witnesses who had seen them in the city. Their discovery yesterday at 1.15pm local time brought an end to “a week of hell” for Megan’s family. Appeals by mother Dan- ielle Wilson, 37, and step- father Martin Stammers, 43, for the girl to get in touch went unanswered. Minutes after the news was broken to him yesterday Mr Stammers smiled broadly and gave a thumbs-up sign outside his home in East- bourne. He said: “We have our daughter back. It’s just such joy, an indescribable relief. We can’t wait to be reu- nited with her. “The outpouring of love from everyone has been amazing. We’re so happy. As time goes on you despair, but knowing Megan, knowing the girl she is, I always had that belief that she was strong enough within herself to remain safe and well. “This past week has just been hell, but it doesn’t mat- ter now we know she is fine.” Mr Stammers asked the media for time to be able to “bond again” once Megan has returned. Her father Barry Wratten, 41, choked back tears after receiving the news he had been “hoping and praying for”. Lorry driver Mr Wratten, of Leicester, said: “The past week has been absolutely terrible. Sometimes you think the worst. I can’t say how relieved I am. well as the British media for their assistance. We are relieved that the search is finally over.” The last confirmed sight- ing of Megan and her teacher was when they were captured on CCTV footage as they fled Britain on a Channel ferry. They had gained a head start on authorities after Megan had asked her mother if she could stay the night at a friend’s house. Images captured at 9.30pm showed the pair as they walked on board the ferry heading from Dover to Cal- ais. They had bought tickets to return to the UK on Sun- day but failed to use them. Instead the pair headed to Paris in Forrest’s car. A British grandmother is said to have recognised the distinctive bird patterns on Megan’s shirt as she walked on the Champs Elysee. The couple abandoned their car after police released a CCTV image of the regis- tration number. The French source said: “Clearly they knew the authorities were on to them. Megan was in tears when she was taken away.” FG@E@FE1G8><(/ J`ccp “My message to Megan would be that I love her very much and that I am so glad she is safe. I’d also like to say that I am not angry with her at all. We all do silly things when we are young without thinking of the consequences. “It might not seem like it to Megan right now, but this is for the best.” In a statement, Forrest’s parents, Jim and Julie, said: “We are pleased that Megan and Jeremy have been found safe and well. This has been an ordeal for all the families concerned. “We would like to thank Sussex and French police as FG@E@FE (/ F9@KJ +. ;@8IP +/ :IFJJNFI;J ,* :@KP ,+ KI8M<C ,0 DFKFI@E> /' JGFIK /- This newspaper adheres to the system of self-regulation set out in the Editor’s Code of Practice.

At a press conference, Martin Stammers, 43, said: “I want to say a huge thank you to all the public who have followed us on Twitter, retweeted messages and posted things on Facebook – everyone has helped so much. “I can’t put into words how grateful we are as a family.” He was speaking at Sussex Police headquarters in Lewes, East Sussex, shortly after Megan had spoken by telephone from Bordeaux to her mother Danielle Wilson. Visibly shaken by the day’s developments, Mr Stammers said: “Danielle and I are so relieved that Megan has been found safe and well. We are overjoyed.” The parents of maths teacher Jeremy Forrest also issued a statement yesterday thanking the police and the media for their help. Chief Inspector Jason Tingley of Sussex Police said: “Megan is now 9p >`c\jJ_\c[i`Zb maths tuition, walking hand-in-hand on a cross-Channel ferry from Dover to Calais. They had bought a return ticket due to bring them back to Dover last Sunday. Concerns for Megan’s welfare grew further when the pair failed to catch a ferry home. British police took charge of the large-scale operation to trace them on the Continent. Officers from the Serious Organised Crime Agency joined the hunt. A European arrest warrant was issued for Forrest for alleged child abduction. There were four unconfirmed sightings of the pair but the search appeared to be making little progress when Forrest’s parents, Jim and Julie, made an emotional plea on Thursday for their son to get in touch and let them know he and Megan were safe. A few hours later, police received a tip-off that the pair were in Bordeaux. Yesterday lunchtime, after confirming the sighting, officers swooped as Forrest and Megan walked the streets of the city in south-western France. in the care of British consulate staff and will be returned to the UK to be with her family. “Jeremy is in custody after his arrest and extradition proceedings will now commence.” Serious questions have been raised about the handling of an Ê<m\ipfe\_Xj _\cg\[jfdlZ_% N\Ëi\jf^iXk\]lcË investigation into Megan’s relationship with Forrest after it was revealed that fellow pupils at Bishop Bell Church of England School in Eastbourne had raised concerns with teachers seven months ago. The last confirmed sighting of the pair came as they left Britain on Thursday, September 20.

Victims were seen waving franti- cally at the windows as the plane nose-dived and were heard “scream- ing and wailing” from the burning wreckage. Nineteen crew and passengers died when the aircraft plunged shortly after take-off from Nepal’s capital, Kathmandu. They were headed for the base of the world’s highest mountain. Devastated family and friends paid tribute last night to the tourist adventurers, including a brilliant young lawyer and two brothers. Investigators believe the pilot tried to ditch into a river on the out- skirts of the capital after a bird, possibly an eagle, was sucked into the plane’s propellers. However, the plane crash-landed on to football pitches instead. Witness Harimaya Tamang said: “The plane hit the ground, bounced once but it did not break. The plane was already on fire, the local people rushed with buckets and tried to put out the flames but it was too hot and people could not get close enough.” The Britons killed yesterday were solicitor Benjamin Ogden, brothers Darren and Vincent Kelly, Timothy Oakes, Stephen Holding, Ray Eagle and Christopher Davey. They were due to embark on a £2,300-per-head trip entitled the High Passes of Everest tour. Their twin-engine Dornier aircraft, operated by Nepalese carrier Sita Air, got into difficulty just three min- utes after leaving Kathmandu for Lukla in the high Himalayas shortly after 6am. The others aboard were four Nepalese crew, three Nepalese The burning wreckage of the plane in Nepal yesterday which crashed shortly after take-off from Kathmandu ÊG\fgc\ilj_\[kf glkflkÕXd\j n`k_YlZb\kjYlk `knXjkff_fkË Brother Vincent Kelly Climber Timothy Oakes Developer Darren Kelly passengers and five Chinese holiday- makers. The tragedy happened 20 years ago to the day when 36 Britons were among 167 fatalities after a Pakistani plane crashed while flying into Kathmandu. Oxford graduate Mr Ogden, 27, had recently qualified as an associ- ate solicitor at international law firm Allen & Overy and was on a break before starting work. A colleague described him as an “excellent lawyer” and “very popular”. Property developer and business- man Darren Kelly, 45, was praised for helping revitalise the Isle of Whithorn, near his home in Newton Stewart, Dumfries and Galloway, where he lived with wife Jannine, 46. He owned a number of flats on the island which he had developed as holiday homes. Close friend Chris Harrison, 56, said: “I saw Darren the day before he set off. He was really looking forward to the trip. He had been planning it for over a year. Darren was a larger than life character. “He was the kind of person you would want with you in difficult times. He was a very good friend. It’s hard to believe he’s gone.” Mr Kelly and his 50-year-old brother Vincent were originally from Lostock, near Bolton, Greater Manchester. At Vincent Kelly’s home, family and friends were too upset to talk yesterday. Lancashire education official Timothy Oakes, 57, was from Winwick, Cheshire. His wife Angie Gaunt said: “Tim was a mountain- eer. He lived life to the full and died Oxford student Benjamin Ogden was set to be a brilliant lawyer ‘Gentle’ Stephen Holding ‘Go-getter’ Ray Eagle Christopher Davey doing something he always wanted to do. He was going because he always wanted to see Everest. “It was the trip of a lifetime. If you live your life to the full, you take risks.” Mr Oakes was a close friend of Stephen Holding, a 60-year-old retired teacher, and both were mem- bers of British based Bremex Moun- taineering and Climbing Club. Fellow member Matt Morton described Mr Holding as “a gentle giant of a man” and added: “He was tall, quietly spoken and just a genuinely nice chap.” Christopher Davey, 51, was from Moulton, Northants. Alan Sutton, president of Nene Valley Rotary Club said Mr Davey, its secretary, would be “sorely missed” after more than 10 years in the role. “He was a very pleasant but quiet man and worked very hard for a number of charities,” he added. Ray Eagle, 58, a disabled support worker with Cheshire East Council was described as a “go-getter type” by neighbours in Macclesfield, Chesh- ire, yesterday. The British party arrived in Nepal on Wednesday with Hampshire- based travel firm Explore World- wide. The tragedy highlighted Nepal’s “appalling” air safety record. John Tucknott, British ambassador to Nepal, said: “There will be an inves- tigation and clearly we will have to wait to see what they find caused the air crash.” Prime Minister David Cameron said: “It is an absolutely horrific incident and obviously I feel for the families concerned. It is a deeply, deeply tragic case.” 72 crash deaths in 2 years NEPAL is one of the world’s most dangerous countries in which to fly. Yesterday’s tragedy brings the death toll from air accidents to 72 in just two years. And no fewer than 24 planes have crashed in the country since 1992. James McConnachie, co-author of The Rough Guide to Nepal, said the country was “very dangerous indeed” for flights. He blamed the mountainous terrain and “appalling” regulation of domestic airlines, meaning planes were in a poor state of repair and fuel was often contaminated. He praised local pilots but added: “There is a Nepalese saying: ‘Don’t fly in clouds in Nepal – clouds have mountains in them’.” Oli Walker, 21, a British trekker, claimed there was a “complete lack of safety instructions” on aircraft, which he said were “nothing more than flying minibuses” ferrying people to the foot of Everest. *** [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ] |
