Joshua Dotson, self-identified "serial killer," received a 261-year prison sentence for five murders, including that of his pregnant ex-girlfriend. His sentences will follow a prior life sentence. The District Attorney’s Office expressed hope for justice for the victims' families, while Dotson compared himself to fictional killers during his trial.

In a separate matter, a mother reported that 10,000 students have departed independent schools due to Labour's new VAT policy, a figure far exceeding government estimates. Her daughter, Ava, left private education after a £3,270 fee increase, leading to costly transport to a distant school.

Criticism arose over the government's lack of impact analysis, which seems to burden ordinary families rather than elite institutions. The government maintains that the policy will generate £1.8 billion annually for public services, claiming minimal overall impact.
