00:03 A Chesterfield police sergeant told an inquest he felt like a fool for classifying a bag of
00:08 weapons found near to where Gracie Spinks was killed as 'lost property'. Retired Sergeant
00:13 Lee Richards was on duty on May 6th 2021 when Dog Walker and a white find the brown Nike rucksack
00:20 on a farmer's track, just metres from a duckwinton stable where the 23-year-old was stabbed to death
00:25 six weeks later. Inside the bag were two large hunting knives, an axe, a water bottle with the
00:31 words 'nothing worth having comes easy' written on it, a blister pack of Viagra and a note reading
00:37 'don't lie'. The former officer, who left the force last year after 31 years service, said he
00:43 believed that the knives and axe discovered in the rucksack were intended for chopping wood.
00:47 However, this week he told a jury at an inquest into Gracie's death. He accepted it was clear as

01:20 number of firsts. Elle, who is from Chesterfield and went to Brookfield Community School,
01:25 based the contemporary spray-painted portrait of Joan of Arc on her sister. If you want to see her
01:30 incredible work you'll have to hurry, as the artwork can only be seen for a limited time
