One-legged Albanian double killer Saliman Barci (right) posed as a Kosovan refugee to claim asylum in Britain in 2002. After leaving their run-down apartment (top right) in Albania, they were able to live rent free in a £560-a-month four-bed home (bottom right) in Croydon. Barci, 41, claims he is innocent and is using human rights laws in a desperate bid to avoid being sent back to his homeland, where he has been convicted of murdering two men. He has spent nearly a year in custody at an immigration removal centre battling a request to be returned to the poverty-stricken country to serve a 25-year sentence. But last night, his taxpayer-funded extradition battle descended into farce after his estranged Albanian wife Mimoza (inset) said he had confessed to her on the night of the killings.

Leaked data has emerged indicating that Flight MS804 was one fire before it crashed, as smoke alarms were sounding for a full two minutes before it began its downward descent. Meanwhile relatives, friends and colleagues (left) of the EgyptAir crew wept and consoled each other as they gathered for an emotional service at the Al Sedeq mosque near Cairo Airport where the doomed jet had been due to land. The father of co-pilot Mohamed Mamdouh Ahmed Asem was overwhelmed by messages of condolence. Ahmed Asem (top right), the father of co-pilot Mohamed Mamdouh Ahmed Asem (top inset) was overwhelmed by messages of condolence as the Imam led prays for their salvation. Meanwhile, at another heart-rending service, Bahgat Shoukair (bottom right), the father of Captain Mohamed Said Ali Ali Shoukair (bottom inset) collapsed in grief for his missing son. The vigils were held as search crews revealed they had found a severed arm, luggage and a two-mile-long oil slick in the Mediterranean close to where the Airbus A320 vanished, dealing a devastating blow to families holding out a glimmer of hope their loved ones may have survived the crash.

Demi Rose, 21, who grew up in Sutton Coldfield, near Birmingham, has become the talk of Cannes after being pictured with rapper Tyga, left and right, just a week after he split with ex-girlfriend Kylie Jenner. The British model, who is a dead ringer for Jenner (inset), was initially pictured attending a nightclub party with the American and has since been spotted shopping at the French resort with the 26-year-old. She has 2.2million Instagram followers and said it was her 'dream' to model ever since she was a little girl.

Joy Pinquier, 23, far left, who claims she is the star's daughter from an alleged affair with her mother Joelle (together, inset), which ended in 1992 when he played for Paris St Germain, was left in tears after Ginola refused to see her. He has previously denied he is her father. The football star had regained consciousness earlier following a six-hour quadruple heart bypass operation overnight with his surgeon revealing the footballer - who is married to Coraline, with whom he has two children, Andrea and Carla, pictured centre in 2006 - had been in 'a catastrophic state'. Professor Dreyfus, quoted in local newspaper Var-Matin, clarified Ginola had not suffered a heart attack but said the coronary arteries supplying blood to the heart had been affected. 'He arrived in a catastrophic state,' the surgeon said. 'He was unconscious and did not remember anything. Former Newcastle United footballer David Ginola remains in hospital 'in a coma' today after collapsing during a football game in the south of France. The 49-year-old is said to have fallen unconscious on a football pitch at the home of Jean-Stéphane Camerini - the organiser of the Mapauto Golf Cup - in the Mandelieu region yesterday afternoon.

The 71-year-old presenter was pictured looking puffy leaving a London salon at 8am on Monday (left). Just 12 hours later, she was photographed looking entirely different at the V&A (right). Comparing the two pictures, writes ANNE ROBINSON, is a handy way to illustrate a universal and irreversible truth. For every 10,000 women in the afternoon of their years, there are probably fewer than a handful who can walk out without their slap:

Domestic rubbish, household appliances and builders' waste are increasingly being dumped on residential streets or in previously idyllic beauty spots - from London to Hertfordshire. In Lewisham, south London, the council has introduced tight restrictions on who can use its refuse and recycling facilities. As a result, tradesmen are turned away after being told only residents can use the tip - and they are simply dumping tons of rubbish outside nearby houses. The latest hotspot is a residential area in New Cross, south-east London, where tons of junk are being left inches from homes - or even leaning against the walls.

We've compiled the details of the most jaw-dropping Beeb salaries and, as you'll see, it's little wonder that the BBC is known as the Big Bucks Corporation. Among the lucky few are Top Gear presenter Chris Evans (left), Mary Berry (centre left), Claudia Winkleman (centre right) and Graham Norton (right). Not only are their careers their lifeblood - screen time is the rocket fuel for their super-sized egos - but, as Chris Evans freely admitted last week, they've achieved the rare position of being rewarded extremely handsomely for doing something they love.

Shirley Valentine star Tom Conti (pictured left), who lives in a £17.5million who lives in Hampstead, has become embroiled in a row with Camden councillor Theo Blackwell (pictured right), who called him a luvvie, 'It's always been regarded by actors as an insulting term. People disregard important opinion by saying, "It's the luvvies at it again". It's a cheap way of scoring points. And I do find it offensive personally,' Conti told the Daily Mail.

He's famed for his violent and unpredictable nature.  But Bobby Beale's latest outburst left EastEnders viewers wondering if they had tuned into the right programme as his gruesome murder attempt was aired to shock of horrified audience members.  In scenes from Friday night's episode, Bobby Beale - played by Eliot Carrington - flew into a fit of rage and hit mum Jane over the head with a hockey stick seemingly killing her.

Police have today arrested a man on suspicion of attempted murder after four women were stabbed in a packed Sainsbury's car park (right). The suspect ran through a crowd of shoppers in Hampton, south-west London, and only targeted women in a series of 'completely unprovoked' attacks, one witness said. All four women were attacked in the car park as they walked or got out of their cars, suffering wounds to the legs, chest and back - one is fighting for her life in hospital. One eyewitness described the knife attacks as 'horrific' and said one elderly woman was lying on the pavement with 'blood coming out of all different parts of her body.' A bleeding victim hobbled to a nearby police station to raise the alarm (left) before officers armed with Tasers arrested the knifeman, who had been released from custody just hours earlier after being arrested and charged in relation to an assault on a police officer in Kensington.

As a comedian who has made millions from his own brand of laddish humour, David Baddiel knows how to shock. But one extraordinary story the Cambridge-educated comic has never fully told is that of his own family life. It is a tale of infidelity, pornography, and sexual obsession. His mother Sarah Fabien Baddiel (pictured right with David and inset on the pair's wedding day) was astonishingly frank about her sex life, while his father Colin (left with David) has an unusual type of dementia which makes him sexually disinhibited.

The Duchess of Cambridge visited the America's Cup base of sailing champion Sir Ben Ainslie in Portsmouth to see how youngsters are being inspired to join the marine industry. In her role as royal patron of the 1851 Trust, a charity set up as part of the Ben Ainslie Racing (BAR) effort to win the prestigious racing tournament, Kate will launch two initiatives aimed at involving children and young adults from diverse backgrounds in sailing and the technology of the sport.

Hayley Roberts, of Glynneath, Glamorgan, Wales, grew up in a terraced house, sharing a bedroom with her sisters, a world away from the Hollywood life she and David Hasslehoff now lead. Hayley met her other half in a hotel, while she was working as a £6-an-hour Debenhams sales assistant, and gave him her number in exchange for an autograph. For their first date, David flew her to a luxury Swiss ski resort for four days. Today, she and David have been engaged for exactly a month. Their relationship has come in for a fair share of criticism, not least because of the substantial age gap, but Hayley said 'David is an amazing person' and someone she is 'lucky to be with'.

Holly Kelland, 18, (left, inset and today outside court) set up a profile under a different name with the aim of contacting mothers with young children. Together with school friend Codie Farrar, 17, (right, inset and today outside court) Kelland tried to lure in targets by telling them they had one prizes, including designer baby clothes, in fictitious raffles. Both girls were handed 12-month detention orders after previously admitting to conspiracy to kidnap three babies, identified only as 'U', 'S' and 'W', in September last year. Kelland, of Wolverhampton, also admitted to three further counts of fraud by false representation.

Police were called in to carry out two controlled explosions after a suspicious vehicle triggered a bomb scare at ITV studios. The incident happened on Coin Street in London at around 11.20am today. The owner of the car (right), which was blown up, returned to his vehicle this afternoon and didn't look too happy as he inspected it by opening the bonnet. Patrol officers reported the 'suspicious' white Skoda (top left) in the area and the Metropolitan Police's bomb squad arrived (bottom left and inset).

Mascara transforms our look, but when it runs means dreaded panda eye. FEMAIL took various products to the deep end and went swimming with model Megan Taylor, a mascara devotee. She rated the mascaras, priced between £1.99 and £45, for waterproof ability, application and brush quality and the easy with which they can be removed.

Dylan Corbett-Bader gave a performance that viewers say would have made his famous grandfather proud when he appeared in A Glass of Nothing this week at the Brighton Festival (inset). The 18-year-old's mother Sophie and grandmother Anne Hart (pictured together left) were at the show, which some have said could be the teenager's first step towards fame. Corbett (right, with Dylan) died aged 85 after a battle with motor neurone disease earlier this year.

Father-of-three Chris Scutt and his wife Jen were horrified when a man launched an attack on their 15-month-old son Alvis - leaving him with 11 cuts - in the middle of Tesco at Brook Retail Park in Clacton, Essex. The terrified toddler was left with blood pouring down his cheeks after Mr Scutt 'prised' the man's hands off of his son's face. Both parents fear the unprovoked attack will leave the youngster 'mentally and physically scarred'. Essex Police have confirmed the assault is being investigated and inquiries are ongoing.

Members of New York's Outdoor Co-ed Topless Pulp Fiction Appreciation Society said they put on the performance to highlight the restrictions that society places on people's bodies. While Prospero and Miranda, who have been exiled on a Caribbean Island for 12 years, start the show fully nude the more civilized characters who are washed ashore start out wearing costumes before discarding them as the show goes on.

Alexander Mackey, an engineer from Plymouth, Devon, said he had drunk seven cans of lager before he was videoed downing the fish, which his friend had won in a funfair game, in one gulp. The footage was posted to Facebook and a complaint was made to the RSCPA, leading to the arrest of the 24-year-old. Mackey pleaded guilty today to a charge under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 of not meeting the needs of and causing unnecessary suffering to a goldfish by swallowing it. He was ordered to pay a fine and costs totalling £752 and banned from keeping fish for five years.

Three thousand lucky souls have boarded the world's biggest cruise ship on its pre-inaugural cruise - and MailOnline Travel is among them. Docked at Southampton this past week, the awe-inspiring Harmony of the Seas is sailing up the English Channel this weekend before returning to the UK on Sunday and allowing the privileged few a sneak peek of what lies ahead for holidaymakers.

Nicolas Depoorter, 24, an electric engineer from West Flanders in Belgium, suffers from muscle dysmorphia or 'bigorexia', an anxiety disorder in which a person becomes obsessed with the idea they are not sufficiently muscular. Throughout his younger years, Nicola - whose biceps have a circumference of half a metre - was bullied, first for being too fat, and then as a teenager for being too thin. He now has an intense gym routine, strict diet and enviable muscular physique, with 48cm biceps. Yet however bulky he gets, when he looks in the mirror, he still sees the skinny teenager he once was.

Sergey Pashkovskiy, a wolf-breeder, teaches his baby cubs how to howl. The adorable footage is filmed at his home in the city of Chelyabinsk, Russia. In the sweet clip Sergey holds a black and a grey Canadian wolf on his chest. Eventually the one-month old grey cub manages to master the art for the first time.

In the cute video the mother is overloaded with affection from her young. Kitten after kitten piles on top of her and suckles from her teats. The delightful video was posted on Facebook by Garden of Delight. The adult feline can only lie back and relax as she is totally surrounded by her young.

Three adorable baby owls have melted the hearts of millions on the Chinese internet after they got lost at a Chinese forest park. The tiny birds have been picked up by rangers at Pu'er National Forest Park in the province of Yunnan recently, according to local media. Keepers at the park have adopted the young bird and hope to release them back to nature in three months.
