Two men have admitted killing Middlesbrough man Tomasz Dembler, whose mutilated body was discovered at Flatts Lane country park.

Five defendants have been on trial for several weeks accused of the murder of the Polish national in Middlesbrough last year.

However the trial took a dramatic twist on yesterday when all five accused offered guilty pleas to lesser charges.

Two male defendants have admitted manslaughter.

The three other defendants have admitted perverting the course of justice, relating to assisting with the concealment of Mr Dembler's death and the burial of his body.

All five will be sentenced tomorrow at Teesside Crown Court.

It's been announced that large scale improvement works at the A171 Swan’s Corner Roundabout in the Nunthorpe area are due to start on Monday 14 March.

The improvements are designed to accommodate future traffic growth as well as improve existing journey times and involves removing the existing roundabout and replacing it with a lozenge-shaped island as well as widening approach roads. Pedestrian crossing facilities will be installed on both Ormesby Bank and the A1043 Nunthorpe Bypass. 

More measures are being put in place to ensure traffic continues to flow safely although motorists are being asked for patience as works continue until autumn.

Northumbria Water say that a team of engineers is continuing work to repair the sewage pipe at Cat Nab car park in Saltburn and that a temporary treatment facility is on site to help minimise the impact on the environment. 

The temporary treatment facility is pumping as much of the spill as possible into storage tanks capable of holding up to 280,000 litres of wastewater before treating it and releasing it back to the environment.

The treatment facility will remain in place for the duration of the repairs, which are expected to continue throughout the week.
