Tributes to sisters who died in national park
Tributes have been paid to two sisters who died after being pulled from the water at one of Wales' national parks. Hajra Zahid, 29, and Haleema Zahid, 25, were found in pools on the Watkin Path - which leads to the summit of Yr Wyddfa - also known as Snowdon - on 11 June. University of Chester said the women "touched the lives of many" since starting master's degrees in international business earlier this year. An inquest into their deaths is due to be opened on Wednesday by the coroner for north-west Wales. "The University of Chester community is in mourning for the tragic loss," said the vice-chancellor, Prof Eunice Simmons. "They touched the lives of many here at Chester – their friends, the cohort on their course and the staff who taught them – and they will be deeply missed." Two women die in water at national park beauty spot Mountain rescue teams stretched to breaking point Easter walkers warned after record rise in call-outs A former colleague of Haleema Zahid at a telecommunications company in Islamabad, Pakistan, said in a tribute that she was "an exceptionally compassionate, hardworking and kind individual". Dr Bilal Saeed added she had "touched the lives of many with her warmth, professionalism and unwavering dedication". Ms Zahid had left the firm to pursue higher education in the UK, he added. Sheharyar Shahnawaz, another ex-colleague, said Haleema Zahid was an "amazing lady, very lively and energetic, someone you would want in your life". He said that she became the pillar of her family after the death of her father last year and he had seen her just before she left for the UK when she told him she was "really excited for this new chapter". The Watkin Path is one of the main routes to the summit of Wales' highest mountain. North Wales Police said officers were called to Nant Gwynant, Gwynedd, at 21:31 BST after a report one woman had been pulled from the water and another was said to be in one of the pools. Det Ch Insp Andy Gibson of North Wales Police said: "Our thoughts and sympathies remain with the families and friends of both women. "An investigation to establish what happened is now under way." Chairman of Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team Jurgen Dissmann added: "I extend our deepest sympathies to the families and friends of the two women who sadly lost their lives."

Couple jailed after dangerous dog attacks child
A couple's Japanese Akita attacked a child and left them with a large wound to the face, a court has heard. Kayleigh Godbert, 39, and Thomas Moir, 38, admitted being in charge of a dangerously out of control dog called Nuqe which bit the youngster at least six times. Judge Simon Mills said the child was "lucky" to be alive and described one laceration as "absolutely awful". The couple, who appeared at Mold Crown Court in Flintshire, were jailed for 18 months and banned from keeping a dog for seven years. According to the prosecution, the dog had bitten someone previously. Judge Mills told the couple the injuries were "frightening" and said the attack was down to their "utter negligence". He added an image of the child's face before surgery was "breath-taking". "This incident should, and could, have been foreseen," Judge Mills said. Det Con James Grimwood of North Wales Police described the event as a "horrific incident" which has "tragically resulted in serious and lasting injuries to a vulnerable child". He added: "Both Moir and Godbert have shown little remorse throughout this investigation despite the lifelong consequences their actions have had on a young child. "The court outcome reflects the seriousness of this incident, and I hope that this sends a message to any dog owners to ensure that they do not leave their dogs alone with children." Det Con Grimwood said he urged anyone with information or concerns around a dangerous dog to report it to North Wales Police.
