TWO GIRLS SHOT DEAD AT PARTY Two teenage girls, aged 17 and 18, have died in a hail of bullets during a New Year's day party after a dispute at a hairdressing salon in Birmingham. Two other girls, aged 17 and 18, were also shot after a "considerable" number of bullets were fired. Police have launched a murder inquiry and are conducting a forensic search of a bullet-ridden car found nearby. The chief constable of West Midlands Police described the murder as a tragedy and stressed that the inquiry is at an early stage. "We have had an incident which in my short time in the West Midlands is unprecedented," said Mr Paul Scott-Lee. "Our sympathies go to the families who are going to have to live through the most devastating time," he added. The girls had been attending a private party along with 25 to 30 other young people, police have said. There had been "some sort of dispute" which resulted in people going to the premises with guns, said Chief Superintendent Dave Shaw. Two other girls who were shot received non-life-threatening injuries. MURDER PROBE CONTINUES An investigation is continuing into the murder of a Birmingham man stabbed to death as he celebrated New Year. Police believe the reveller, in his 30s, was killed during a street fight in Vardon Way, Kings Norton, where his body was found. Detectives have carried out a fingertip search of the area and conducted house-to-house inquiries. EVENTS TO BOOST TOURISM Two major sporting events this year are set to boost tourism in Birmingham. From March 14 to 16, the city hosts the athletics World Indoor Championships and then in May it stages the World Badminton Championships.

HOUSE PRICES RISE BY 30% House prices in the West Midlands rose by around 30% during 2002 - the equivalent of £65 a day.

House sales also look set to record the highest level of turnover since 1989, with around 1.6m properties changing hands or 4,400 a day. ROCKER RENEWS MARRIAGE VOWS Birmingham-born rocker Ozzy Osbourne and his wife Sharon have renewed their wedding vows during a New Year's Eve party at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Hundreds of guests looked on, 1970s band Village People played, and their daughter Kelly was a flower girl. The couple married on July 4, 1982, but delayed their celebrations because of Sharon's battle with colon cancer.

Police have launched a murder inquiry, calling the shootings "unprecedented".

BLUNKETT REBUKES CORONER A coroner who told the black community in Birmingham to "pay back" efforts to accommodate them in society by catching two girls' killers has been rebuked. Aidan Cotter said people in Aston, where Charlene Ellis and Letisha Shakespeare died, should help police. But Home Secretary David Blunkett said: "No-one needs talk of payback as we and they are part of a cohesive community." CORONER 'DID NOT MEAN OFFENCE' A Birmingham coroner insists he did not intend to cause offence by claiming the black community needed to "pay back" efforts to integrate them into society. Aidan Cotter said his reference to the "community" was meant to include the whole of Birmingham. Mr Cotter said: "There must be people who know what is happening, who is involved, who is running and hiding." STILL MUCH TO BE DONE - POLICE West Midlands Police have said there is "still much to be done" to cut gun crime after figures revealed offences have soared in the city.

Michael Smith was sentenced to seven years for attacking Savident at his luxury Manchester flat two years ago. Smith, who will appear at Manchester Crown Court, was told to expect a "long term of custody" for the flat robbery. EURO MP SLAMS ASSEMBLY PLANS A regional assembly would be a disaster for Burton-on-Trent, a West Midlands Euro MP has told the town's residents. A Birmingham-based devolved government for the whole region would spell higher taxes, less representation and "fat cat politicians", Philip Bradbourn said. The Tory MEP spoke during the last leg of a tour of the region to speak about the proposed regional assembly. DRUGS GIRL 'FEARED FOR LIFE' A 15-year-old girl feared she would be raped and killed after she and a friend were allegedly abducted by a Birmingham man, Southwark Crown Court has heard. Trevor Daniels, 22, of Lichfield Road, and Anthony Hill, 23, of Liverpool deny charges of kidnapping and of possessing drugs with intent to supply. The girl said she was forced to act as an "innocent face" during drug deals. JOBS AT RISK OVER CLOSURE Electricity firm Powergen is planning to close a Staffordshire power station which could lead to the loss of more than 80 jobs, it has been announced. The group is planning to close Drakelow C power station, near Burton-on-Trent, which employs 88 staff.

suspicious, police confirmed.
