Eastwood charged with murder after prison strangling
Edwin John Eastwood, who twice kidnapped classes of students, faced court on charges of murdering fellow prisoner Glenn Davies, 29, by strangling him with his bare hands before guards could intervene. British airports faced another day of flight cancellations and diversions due to an air traffic control strike, costing airlines about 2.1 million dollars daily. Buckingham Palace announced a German court barred a magazine from printing alleged transcripts of telephone calls between Prince Charles and fiancée Lady Diana, with palace lawyers calling the transcripts potentially a hoax.
