HERE are the most viewed stories on www.examiner.co.uk last week:

1) NEIGHBOURS have paid tribute to a murdered mum who “lived for her family.”

Carol Berry, 66, of Bradley Road, was stabbed to death after her daughter’s ex-partner reportedly jetted into the country from the continent in what police say was a “targeted” and “domestic-related” attack.

On Saturday blood could be seen on the white door of the semi-detached bungalow and the scene was cordoned off.

Police halted their investigations after the 40-year-old attacker’s body was found in Manchester.

2) THEY carried out an unbelievably vicious attack on an innocent man.

And just minutes later, they laughed and joked as they played cards to “chill out.”

Now the vicious thugs behind the attack on Tony Schofield at Ricky’s Bar have been given jail sentences totalling more than 20 years.

Stroke victim Mr Schofield – known as Little Tony – had been enjoying a quiet drink at his local pub in Leeds Road, Bradley Mills, last July when he was confronted by 22-year-old Daniel Lockwood and the others.

3) THE greetings card business started by Huddersfield Town chairman Dean Hoyle is believed to have attracted a clutch of bidders willing to pay up to £400m.

4) A YOUNG actress hanged herself months after her soulmate and fiance lost his battle against cancer.

Talented Nikki Sam-Addae from Dalton had dreams of travelling and aspiring others into the profession she loved so much.

But an inquest heard the 23-year-old was left shattered when her finance, Luke Evans, died from a brain tumour.

5) A STUDENT has admitted robbing Huddersfield shopkeeper Gurmail Singh two days before he died.

The 17-year-old and an unknown male stole cigarettes from Mr Singh’s convenience shop on February 18.
