Cooke stays put
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Metropolitan police has "no plans" to move child killer Sidney Cooke from his current location. Carlton TV's London Today programme had claimed that a cell block at Cheshunt police station in Hertfordshire, which is just within the Met's area, was being refurbished, possibly to hold Cooke.
However, Met sources said that there were no plans to move him from the police station where he is currently being kept until "suitable long- term accommodation" could be found. It is thought that Cooke, 70, who was released from prison custody on Monday after serving nine years of a 16-year term for the manslaughter of teenager Jason Swift, is being held at Leman Street police station in east London.
