Grammy-winning R&B singer Chris Brown named by Las Vegas police as a suspect after a man is punched during a basketball game. Paul Chapman reports.
Chris Brown was arrested in his LA home, in the San Fernando Valley, on Tuesday, after a 14-hour long standoff with police, who arrived at the singer's house with a search warrant in response to a call from model Baylee Curran that Brown had threatened her with a gun. Before being arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon, Chris Brown took to Instagram, where he posted videos proclaiming his innocence. Brown previously plead guilty to assaulting fellow singer and his then-girlfriend Rihanna, in 2009. This plea saw the rapper sentenced to five years' probation.
Chris Brown responded to assault allegations made towards him by Liziane Gutierrez, as she claimed he punched her and took her phone after she tried to take a picture with him.
Christian Brueckner, the German man suspected of abducting missing British toddler Madeleine McCann, appears in public for the first time since being named in her case, arriving at a court in Braunschweig for the start of his trial on unrelated sex crime charges. German prosecutors have yet to charge Brueckner over Madeleine's disappearance, but in October 2022 he was charged with five separate counts of rape and child sex abuse allegedly committed in Portugal, where Madeleine disappeared, between 2000 and 2017.
