Local elections are on Thursday May 2nd. Some say that the recent French election shows what can happen if enough people can't be bothered to vote. Camden Borough elections may not be as important as the French Presidential poll - but if you don't bother to vote, why should anyone listen to you if you don't like the result?

Pundits are predicting record levels of apathy, but if you want to prove them wrong, visit Camden Council's site and find out how to vote.

Kyu Soo Kim, of Eagle Street, Camden, has been charged with the murder of Korean national In Hea Song (pictured left) who was a student at Guildhall University. Last month he was charged with murdering another Korean student, Hyo Jung Jin, whose body was found in a suitcase near York last November.

Mr Kim, who is also Korean, was charged at the Old Bailey where he spoke through an interpreter to confirm his name and address. He was remanded in custody until May 7th.
