A teenager has tragically died after accidentally inhaling deodorant in her bedroom. Giorgia Green, 14, was found unresponsive after spraying her blanket with aerosol deodorant and wrapping herself inside.

A 12-year-old boy has admitted swinging a knife at a member of staff at a school in Stockport. The boy, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, approached the staff member, who was ushering pupils out the school grounds as they left Reddish Vale school yesterday (Monday, February 10).
