Bayesian superyacht lifted from seabed
The operation to raise the Bayesian superyacht has begun, with the wreck of the luxury vessel breaking the water's surface on Friday afternoon. The operation began earlier than expected, with the wreck gradually raised over the last three days, according to a spokesman for TMC Marine, the British salvage company. It had been scheduled for Saturday, but was brought forward. The wreck was lifted from the seabed off the coast of Sicily by huge cranes mounted on two floating platforms. It had been lying at a depth of 150ft since sinking in a storm last August. The tragedy claimed the lives of seven people, including those of Mike Lynch, the British tech billionaire, and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah. The wreck is now floating on the surface of the sea between the two platforms. The Telegraph saw the wreck after chartering a fishing boat from the harbour in Porticello. It is covered in algae and the hull is visibly battered. Metal railings are bent out of shape. The Italian coast guard has imposed a 650-metre exclusion zone around the salvage area. The wrecked yacht will be lifted clear of the water on Saturday, authorities say. It will then be transported to Termini Imerese, a large port further along the Sicilian coast. There it will be scrutinised by investigators. It's regarded as the key piece of evidence in the investigation, which will aim to determine the causes of the sinking during the violent storm last summer. Italian prosecutors have placed three crew members under investigation for manslaughter and causing a shipwreck – James Cutfield, the New Zealand skipper, Tim Parker Eaton, the chief engineer, and Matthew Griffith, who was on watch on the night of the storm.

Ex reality star charged with murder after her partner was found dead in a unit
A woman who starred on Beauty and the Geek has been charged with murder after a man's body was discovered in a home in Port Lincoln, South Australia. Emergency services were called to the property on Flinders Highway at about 3:25pm local time on Thursday following reports of a small fire. When crews arrived, they found a man dead inside the residence. A 34-year-old woman was arrested at the scene and later charged with murder. The Courier Mail reported on Friday that the woman was once a contestant on reality show Beauty and the Geek. South Australia Police have confirmed the victim and the accused were known to each other and had been in a relationship. The woman was refused police bail and remains in custody. Detectives from the Major Crime Investigation Branch and officers from the Forensic Response Section were flown into Port Lincoln to assist local authorities with the investigation. 'I can reassure members of the community that this is not a random incident,' SA Police State Operations Service Assistant Commissioner Ian Parrott told reporters. 'We understand that the female who has been arrested and the deceased male both lived at this address,' he said. 'It is still very early stages of this investigation and it's likely that the Major Crime investigators and the forensic response members will be there most of today.' Assistant Commissioner Parrott said a cause of death had not yet been determined and no further details could be released, as the victim's family had not yet been notified. The woman did not apply for bail and has been detained under the Mental Health Act. She is expected to return to court in December. A suppression order preventing the publication of any information that could identify the woman, the victim, or the specific details surrounding the man's death was issued. The suppression order is set to be reviewed by the court next week.
