The grandmother who infamously tried to claim a £33million lottery jackpot by alleging she had put the ticket in the washing machine has died aged 49.

'Lotto gran' Susanne Hinte is believed to have had a heart attack at her home in Worcester yesterday afternoon.

The grandmother-of-four contacted Camelot last year after claiming she found the winning ticket in her jeans which had been damaged in the wash.

Ms Hinte, known to friends as Sanne, alleged she had won half the £66million jackpot from the draw in January 2016 after it was revealed the winning ticket was bought in her hometown.

But when German-born Ms Hinte sent in the crumpled ticket, investigators from Camelot's security team soon determined the ticket was not correct.

Neighbours described how police and an ambulance crew suddenly raced to Ms Hinte's home yesterday afternoon. Speaking outside the family home, Miss Hinte's daughter Natasha Douglas, 29, said: 'I'm too upset to talk - my mum only died yesterday.' 

One neighbour, who asked not to be named, told the Worcester News he thought Ms Hinte's daughter had raised the alarm after her mother did not answer the door.

He said: 'It was about 6pm last night. The ambulance came quite quickly about three or four minutes. They were only in there 90 seconds. I just knew she had died. 

'Another car came racing up – then a saw a guy run up – the person was in no rush. I thought it can't have just happened - she must have been gone.'

Another neighbour added: 'The family have been there all day and they are in bits. 

'She was a controversial woman but she had a very loving family. Even though she had this heart condition, everyone is in deep shock. 

A jealous thug repeatedly smashed a glass tumbler into a clubber's face after wrongly accusing her of kissing her ex-boyfriend.

Aspiring model Marta Bugalska, 24, was left with a three-inch cut to her head and covered in blood after being battered unconscious at Opal Lounge in Edinburgh.

Her 23-year-old attacker Ashley Katsande hit receptionist Ms Bugalska with a glass before striking her twice more on her lip and then again on her head. Katsande had seen her partner with another woman, and later tried to apologise to Ms Bugalska via a friend on Facebook upon realising she attacked the wrong person.

The attacker has now admitted assault but was spared jail at Edinburgh Sheriff Court earlier this month and told to pay her victim £800 in compensation.

Ms Bugalska told The sun reporter Ben Archibald: 'I was standing by the DJ booth and felt a hand on my arm. Then I got hit in the face by a glass and blacked out.

'She hit me twice more on my lip and again on the head. One blow could've taken my eye out. The glass didn't break, or I may have been killed or disfigured. 'She fell to the ground injured and was struck on the forehead and the mouth.'

Paul Dunne, defending, said Katsande did not know her boyfriend would be at the club that night, adding: 'She was confronted with her partner's infidelity.

'He [also] did not know she was going to be there. She went into the pub and witnessed the embrace and was concerned by this. She took great umbrage at this.' 

Sheriff Frank Crowe said: 'You do have a previous conviction for assault and this was a very nasty assault where the girl was left disfigured.

'But you do have a good job and you have supportive friends. I am prepared to give you an opportunity.'

Ms Bugalska has now moved from Livingston to London to work on a catwalk career.

Scientists have successfully reversed aging in rats' hearts - paving the way to a treatment for humans. 

Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute injected fresh cardiac cells from newborn lab rats into old rats.

Previously, this experimental method has only been used as a way to repair damage after a heart attack.

But in this study, the American team - who performed the world's first cardiac stem cell infusion in 2009 - have demonstrated it can also reverse aging.

Experts say the breakthrough could revolutionize medicine. In the study, 22-month-old rats - who were considered old - received stem cells from four-month-old rats. 

Across the board, all of them experienced improved heart function, improved their exercise capacity by an average of 20 percent, and regrew hair faster than rats that didn't receive the cells.

They also demonstrated longer heart cell telomeres - compound structures located at the ends of chromosomes that shrink with age. 'Our previous lab studies and human clinical trials have shown promise in treating heart failure using cardiac stem cell infusions,' said lead author Dr Eduardo Marbán, director of the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute. 

'Now we find that these specialized stem cells could turn out to reverse problems associated with aging of the heart.' 

Stem cells are a basic type of cell that can change into another type of more specialized cell through a process known as differentiation.

Similar to a fresh ball of clay, they can be shaped and morphed into any cell in the body.

They grow in embryos as embryonic stem cells, used to help the rapidly growing baby form the millions of different cell types it needs to grow before birth.

A mum has issued a warning after her seven-year-old son suffered a potentially fatal allergic reaction to a temporary hennah tattoo on holiday.

Little Theo Luckett could be scarred for life after what was supposed to be a treat during a family trip abroad ended in disaster.

He had queued up excitedly for the procedure on his arm at a market stall in Bulgaria with dozens of other children.

But shortly after having the substantial inking done, Theo started to get blisters which swelled to be yellow and oozing overnight.

His panic-stricken parents rushed him to the nearest pharmacy in the seaside town of Sozopol where they were told he was suffering an allergic reaction.

Mum Alexandra, 41, who lives with husband Jonathan, 39, and their daughter Charlotte, nine, in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, said: 'Straight away I feared the worst.

'It brought it all back as Theo has an egg allergy and a few times we have had to get ambulances as he has been close to anaphylactic shock.

'His arm looked terrible. The other night he woke up crying as it was so itchy. 'I just want to warn parents of the dangers.'

Theo picked the substantial sleeve design from a book on the seller's stand while his sister had a little inking at the one next door.

But while hers has faded since the family returned from their two week break more than a week ago her brother is still in lots of pain.

Alexandra is now applying strong steroid cream on the skin as prescribed by the doctor.

The doctor says that if he goes near the henna tattoo chemical para-phenylene diamine (PPD) again, it could be deadly as it can cause people to stop breathing.

Alexandra added: 'Theo's skin is very inflamed and angry looking now but we have been very lucky and it is starting to heal.

'It's not infected- the doctor said he was lucky. The PPD can cause the anaphylactic shock.' 

A British cyber security expert credited with stopping the ransomware attack on the NHS today pleaded not guilty to US charges that he creating malicious software to steal banking information.

Marcus Hutchins - who entered the plea at a court in Milwaukee, Wisconsin - and a co-defendant face charges of conspiring to commit computer fraud in the state and elsewhere in 2014. 

The 23-year-old was arrested on August 2 at Las Vegas Airport on his way home to Ilfracombe in Devon after a cyber security convention in the US. 

Hutchins, also known as MalwareTech, was hailed a hero in May this year when he found a 'kill-switch' that slowed the effects of the WannaCry 'ransomware' virus that crippled the NHS and hit more than 300,000 computers in 150 countries. 

But the charges relate to alleged conduct occurring between July 2014 and July 2015, long before he found a way to stop the WannaCry ransomware virus.

In his first public comments since his arrest, Hutchens revealed that he will be able to go online once more and that he plans to write a blog as a result of relaxed bail conditions.

On his Twitter account he wrote: 'There's a lot of people I'd like to thank for amazing support over the past 11 days, which I will do when I get a chance to publish my blog.

'I'm still on trial, still not allowed to go home, still on house arrest; but now I am allowed online. Will get my computers back soon. The list included partying, renting supercars, visiting Red Rock Canyon - and being 'indicted by the FBI'. 

Prosecutors allege that before Hutchins won acclaim he created and distributed a malicious software called Kronos to steal banking passwords from unsuspecting computer users. 

In addition to computer fraud, the indictment lists five other charges, including attempting to intercept electronic communications and trying to access a computer without authorisation.

The indictment says the crimes happened between July 2014 and July 2015, but the court document doesn't offer any details about the number of victims. 

Prosecutors have not said why the case was filed in Wisconsin. The name of Hutchins's co-defendant is redacted from the indictment.

Hutchins has been granted computer access for work while his case is pending. It was not clear from today's brief hearing what that work would entail.

Councils are raking in £1.5billion a year on parking - including more than £1billion on fines alone - it has been revealed.

Brighton and Hove Council has made the most money outside London with £28.7million, shortly followed by Nottingham city council with £20.9m and Birmingham city council with £18.3m.  

The five authorities with the highest revenue were all in London, led by Westminster with a whopping £76.4million.

This was followed by Kensington and Chelsea (£46.1m), Camden (£38.1m), Hammersmith and Fulham (£35.6m), and Wandsworth (£30.4m).   A report from the RAC found total income from on-street tickets and permits totalled £483m, a further £338m came from on-street parking charges and £682m from off-street charges and penalties, such as car park fines. 

This represents a four per cent increase from the year before.  

Parking income included money from meters, residents' parking permits, business parking permits and penalties for parking offences. Overall, parking income for English councils outside London amounted to £906 million, a five per cent increase on 2014-15. 

Brighton and Hove council was in top spot with the authority making £28.7m in parking income. 

This was closely followed by Nottingham city council, with £20.9 million and Birmingham city council with £18.3 million. 

A British mother-of-three died from a blood clot after marrying a US killer and jetting back and forth to America to visit him in jail, an inquest heard.

Divorcee Kay Frazier, 50, from Wigan, began writing to Gary Frazier online in 2010 and said when they married in 2012: 'I feel safer with him than any other person.'

The killer, 37, is currently not eligible for parole from his Nebraska jail until 2024 after shooting two people, killing one, during a row when aged 19.

Over five years the couple exchanged 12,000 letters with Kay sending him around 12 love letters every day.

She later flew from Greater Manchester to marry Frazier in his cell and give him a 'passionate kiss' but said they were not allowed to consummate their relationship.

An inquest into her death has heard just seven years before he could be released at the earliest from his 49 year sentence, she has unexpectedly died from surgery following a thrombosis - the medical term for a blood clot. The hearing was told her death was also down to complications from risky surgery, deemed by doctors the only chance to save her life.

Coroner Jennifer Leeming heard she was rushed to Salford Royal Hospital from Wigan Infirmary last May 9 with serious headaches.

Radiologist Toby Williams said there was 'nothing left to lose' in performing the blood clot-removing 'thrombectomy' treatment.

The consultant stressed although it has a 1-10 per cent mortality rate, he was '100 per cent sure' she would die without it.

He said: 'We have treated thrombosis like this before with success.'

But as Mr Williams tried in vain to remove the clot, Mrs Frazier suffered a ruptured artery causing a bleed in her brain.

She lost all brain activity by 7pm on May 10th, finally passing away on May 11th.

Coroner's officer Peter Yates confirmed he had repeatedly tried to contact her children to tell them about the inquest but with no success.

There is no explanation as to why Mrs Frazier developed the blood clot, which is believed to have occurred naturally.

In a 2014 interview, Mrs Frazier admitted friends think 'I'm mad' after 'a normal woman from Wigan ended up marrying a murderer from Nebraska.'

She told how she first married aged 17, had three sons now aged 31, 30 and 25, but divorced in 2004.

In 2010, she started watching documentaries about prisons and saw how US inmates would go online to find a pen pal.

She explained: 'Gary sounded confident and interesting. He got mixed up with the wrong crowd when a teenager.

'One night he and some friends got into an argument with some other lads. Gary shot two, one of them died.

'Prison saved him. If he hadn't been locked up, he would be dead by now.'

Admitting flying out to see him the first time was 'madness' she said: 'I was outside a prison in the middle of Nebraska visiting a murderer.
