Derbyshire police said that Luke had been assaulted in the car park of an Aldi weeks before his death in Ilkeston.

It took place at around 4.15pm on Sunday, May 25.

Detective Chief Inspector Jen Lovatt, from Derbyshire police’s regional major crime unit, said: “Luke’s family are aware that we have launched a murder investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death, and they are being supported by specialist officers.

“Our thoughts go out to them at this sad time, and we ask that their wishes for privacy are respected by the public and media.

“We understand that this news will cause concern to residents in Ilkeston and ask that the community come together to support our enquiries, as our investigation relies on key information from the public.

“We believe that someone in the local community will have information about the circumstances which led to Luke’s death and are keen to hear from anyone who was in Aldi car park between 4-5pm on May 25.

“Did you see a man being assaulted? Or did you notice anyone behaving suspiciously? Perhaps you spoke to Luke, or saw him that day?”

Cops ask that anyone with information get in touch using reference 722 of 25 May.

GLASTONBURY Festival is dealing with a new overcrowding issue after declaring fans to AVOID one of the major stages.

As Neil Young took to the main Pyramid stage as the headliner of the evening, pop fans have ditched the rocker in favour of other acts.

Charli XCX is set to perform on the Other Stage at 10.30pm, while American rapper Doechii will appear on the third biggest stage, Woodsies, at 10.45pm.

As Neil Young took to the main Pyramid stage, thousands flocked to the Other Stage and Woodsies instead[/caption]

However, nearly an hour before the set was due to start, the crowd at Woodsies had got so big that they were forced to close access.

The team simply posted a message on X (formerly Twitter), declaring: “No access to Woodsies. Please head to another area of the site – thank you.”

Doechii – who has topped the charts this year with her songs Denial Is A River and Anxiety – is still set to perform as planned.

This is the second time Woodsies has been forced to shut down for crowd control – with Lorde’s early Friday morning surprise set also causing chaos.

The New Zealand singer appeared on stage to celebrate the release of her new album, Virgin, in a last minute appearance.

So the news came as a massive annoyance to ticketholders, who have criticised the team for poor organisation.

They’ve been particularly critical of putting big names like Charli XCX and Doechii against each other on the line-up, and on smaller stages that don’t have the capacity needed for the crowd.

“Terrible programming throughout, you need a massive re think for your next festival,” wrote one.

“doechii and charli clashing at glasto is EVIL WORK!!” said another.

“Glastonbury really looked at all the vibrant amazing young artists around and said “nah, lets pump the big slots full of elderly white men”. I’m not being funny but I’m struggling to stay awake for Doechii watching Neil Young…” noted a third.

And a fourth said: “It’s full to capacity? Nobody’s at the Pyramid Stage for Neil Young. Everyone is either at Woodsies or the Other Stage for Charli XCX

“Glastonbury has shit the bed a bit here. Field packed for Charli XCX. Woodsies closed an hour ahead of time for Scissor Sisters. Doechii still to come. Pyramid very sparse for Neil Young. Meanwhile PULP do an hour in the afternoon and fill the space”

A ONCE bustling city with multi-storey tower houses and a cobra goddess temple built 2,400 years ago has been discovered by archaeologists.

The densely built city dates back to the 4th century BCE – and even used to have a thriving local economy and religious traditions, researchers said.

Buried under modern day Tell el-Fara’in, Egypt, state-of-the-art technology has been used to uncover the ancient city of Imet.

Boffins from the University of Manchester and the University of Sadat City in Cairo made the groundbreaking discovery in the African nation’s Nile Delta.

A team of archaeologists led by Dr. Nicky Nielsen excavated an array of extraordinary artefacts – which point to the location’s booming economy and religious practice.

The team said: “The University of Manchester is bringing the ancient Delta back one discovery at a time.”

They said locating the forgotten city of Imet allowed them to have a greater understanding of “daily life, spirituality, and urban planning in the Delta”.

The incredible city dates back to the Late Period in Egypt – the final era of Egyptian rule which was killed off by Alexander the Great’s conquest.

Archaeologists used remote sensing including high-resolution satellite imagery.

They first detected ancient mudbricks, which led them to discover “dense architectural remains”.

These included multi-storey buildings with “exceptionally thick foundation walls”.

The team dubbed these “tower houses”.

The 4th-century Egyptians are understood to have built them to accommodate their soaring population.

Imet, as well as the Delta region, became an urban center, the scientists said following their breakthrough finding.

Leading researcher Dr Nielsen said: “These tower houses are mainly found in the Nile Delta between the Late Period and the Roman era, and are rare elsewhere in Egypt.

“Their presence here shows that Imet was a thriving and densely built city with a complex urban infrastructure.”

In another shocking revelation, the scientists also discovered a large building dating to the mid-Ptolemaic Period – even older than the Late Period.

This fascinating find meant that the city may have had even more ancient roots.

The building, which is understood to be older than the rest of the city, had a limestone plaster floor and massive pilars.

It was also built across a processional road that connected it to a temple dedicated to the city’s patron deity, Wadjet, the cobra goddess.

But it was abandoned around the mid-Ptolemaic era, sparking theories that religious beliefs may have changed at the time, the experts said.

Archaeologists also uncovered a grain-processing area and animal pens – proof that Imet had a developed local economy and religious traditions.

And they found artefacts which supported the idea that the Delta centre was once a thriving Ancient Egyptian community.

Their most prized discoveries included a green faience ushabti from the 26^th Dynasty, a stela of the god Harpocrates with protective iconography, and a bronze sistrum adorned with the twin heads of Hathor, goddess of music and joy.

These finds have helped experts piece together one of Ancient Egypt’s long-lost cities – shining new light on the empire’s final days.

KIM Kardashian looked absolutely incredible in a busty corset and stockings.

Kim, 44, led the world’s A-listers who flocked to Venice for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez‘s ultra-rich wedding of the century.

She was previously seen boarding taxi boats to reach the city alongside her sister Khloe and their momager Kris.

Her half-sisters Kylie Jenner and her supermodel sibling Kendall Jenner have also been present for the festivities.

Now, the Skims co-founder has put on a sensual display as she headed to a late-night pyjama themed party.

Kim practically busted out of her nude-coloured corset lingerie set by Turkish designer Dilara Findikoglu.

The vintage-style bodice was accompanied by a sheer tulle skirt and trail as she donned matching stockings.

As she strutted down the Italian boulevards, she accessoried the look with a Lorraine Schwartz necklace.

Her jet black hair was styled into her iconic long waves as she sported a glowing makeup look.

She also made jaws drop with a matching brown boa arm-piece was draped around her elbows.

The reality star is a good pal to bride Lauren, 55, and she event attended her mega bachelorette weekend in Paris.

This was also alongside pop sensation Katy Perry in May as the highly-publicised garthering costed roughly £500,000.

The famous family were spotted hugging movie star Orlando Bloom who shares daughter Daisy with Katy, 40 as the pair battle through split rumours.

It seems the Troy actor previously already had eyes for The Kardashians personality.

The pair were spotted sharing a warm embrace at the Gritti Palace Hotel just days after it was confirmed his decade-long relationship had ended.

But fans since pointed back to a telling moment from September 2024 as a possible clue that things had already started to unravel.

During a high-profile gala in New York whilst still very much engaged to Katy, Orlando was seen sneaking a cheeky glance at Kim’s famous derrière.
