    A weapon obsessed former prison guard who armed himself with “a rapist’s toolkit” before attacking a prostitute at gunpoint has died in jail. Police found Richard Scaife carrying an imitation handgun, bayonet, pierced condom, expired HMP identification badge and Gaffa tape, after he repeatedly raped her in a Folkestone flat in 2021. The then-46-year-old vehemently denied his actions, but he was unanimously convicted on two counts of rape following a trial at Canterbury Crown Court in 2022.

    With the right gear and nous, cooking a proper pizza shouldn’t be too tricky. A good dough is kneaded, knocked back, rolled out, topped modestly with tomato sauce, cheese and herbs, then popped into an oven hotter than the sun. When the base begins to char and cheese becomes stringy, it’s time to eat - simple, right? Well, evidently not, because freshly cooked iterations of the Naples staple are notoriously elusive over here, especially at reasonable prices, and even more so served outside.
