A gold suitcase was also found after police launched an appeal to help find the item, which they believe could further the investigation.

A 30-year-old man from Southsea was arrested on suspicion of murder while a 41-year-old man from Portsmouth was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary also announced that a gold suitcase had been found after they launched an appeal to help locate it.

The two men remain in police custody.

Two 32-year-old men previously arrested on suspicion of murder have been released on conditional bail until September 5.

The police unit’s Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Jody Beresford said: “We understand that this incident is both shocking and devastating to all those who knew Samantha, and we are working tirelessly to establish the full circumstances.

“We would like to thank the community for their patience and understanding whilst we have been carrying out enquiries in the area.

“As part of our enquiries, we appealed for help in locating a gold suitcase. We can confirm this has now been found and we would like to thank everyone who contacted us with information.”

While love comes in all shapes and sizes, Tommy bulked up to catch the girls’ eyes — here’s everything we know about him.

Who is Tommy Bradley?

Tommy Bradley is a landscape gardener from Hertfordshire.

He is 22 years old, making him one of this year’s youngest Islanders.

On June 1, The Sun exclusively revealed that the ‘cheeky chappy’ would be a contestant on Love Island 2025.

Tommy documented his prep for the ITV2 dating show on Instagram, posting streams of his gym sessions.

He was helped by his brother Jamie Bradley — a boxer who used to train with two-time world heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua.

In his pre-villa interview, Tommy said: “My brother Jamie is a professional boxer. He used to train with Anthony Joshua.”

He also revealed that his secret skill is playing the guitar, as well as knowing all the lyrics to every Oasis track.

Tommy admits to being a bit fussy. On his biggest ick, he said: “When a girl is always out partying. I don’t go out too much.

“It’s all about saving money and work. I go out during the summer but wouldn’t want to date someone who parties every weekend.”

When asked how far he plans to go when it comes to ‘doing bits’ in the villa, Tommy revealed a rather awkward chat he had with his mum before flying out to Mallorca.

He told The Sun and other press: “I don’t really know if I’ll have sex in the villa.

“My mum has actually brought it up to me. She was like, ‘Oh my God, have you thought about it — like, if you do have sex with someone in the villa I’m going to be watching.’

“She said, ‘I don’t know if I can watch.’ So I don’t really know.

“It’s just one of them things, isn’t it? I don’t know what connection I’m going to find in there. 

“But hopefully I find someone and then who knows what could happen.”

A source told the Sun: “Tommy seems to tick all the Love Island boxes as the cheeky chappy of this summer’s series.

“He looks to enjoy a night out with the lads and out on the boxing scene with his brother.

“But he’s also packed on serious muscle over the last year ready for telly’s famous villa and is no longer just a personality hire.”

Love Island continues at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

SIR ANDY MURRAY has revealed that he is regularly “humbled” by his five-year-old son as the youngster has started to beat him at a new sport.

Murray, 38, may have been hoping to raise tennis‘ next big star, but it would appear he is developing a chess prodigy instead.

The Scot, who retired from tennis last year, has been spending his time away from the court taking on son Teddy at chess.

Murray revealed that the little one is already learning the strategic sport and is doing so well that is often getting the better of his dad.

Speaking to the BBC, Murray revealed why losing to your own son can be pretty hard to take as a parent.

The Wimbledon legend, who has four kids with wife Kim, said: “My five-year-old boy has got really into chess, which I’m really enjoying playing with him.

“I’m not a particularly good chess player, but I’ve got quite an analytical mind and I enjoy the game and watching him learn and playing with him.

“It’s difficult losing to a five-year-old when in the middle of the game he’s asking you to come and wipe his bum, essentially.

“He’s going to the toilet in the middle of the game, and then he comes back and is beating me at chess. It’s humbling that, for my intelligence”.

Murray has had more time to spend polishing his chess game since he left his role as Novak Djokovic’s coach last month, splitting on amicable terms after spending most of the year on the Serbian’s team.

But he has found himself a new career in the time since, entering the world of venture capitalism.

The two-time Wimbledon champion has taken up a role as an associate partner at London-based investment firm Redrice Ventures.

He told the Sunday Times: “It’s difficult to step away from a sport like tennis, which has been so all-consuming for me for so long, and then not have anything to fill that void.

“I’ve seen it before with other athletes — when they haven’t had other interests straight after sport, it becomes hard for them to know who they are.

“I’m also only 38 years old, so that’s a long time to be retired.

“My plan was always to spend more time on my other business interests once I’d finished playing tennis, and I’m enjoying starting to work on some of those projects now.

“I think for me it’s the work ethic and single-minded determination to succeed.”

Murray previously worked with Redrice in 2018 as part of a co-investment involving sportswear company Castore.

He already has several business interests including a five-star country house hotel in Scotland, a padel tennis firm and a crowdfunding platform called Seedrs.

NATWEST is pulling down the shutters on 55 more bank branches in a blow to the high street.

The bank has confirmed it will shutter dozens of branches over the coming months.

NatWest will pull down the shutters on more branches[/caption]

Locations will shut for good across the UK including in Torquay, Birmingham and Abingdon.

Further branches will close in Leamington Spa, Stratford-upon-Avon and Northampton.

It comes just months after NatWest said it would close 53 bank branches in 2025.

The major bank has already slashed its branch portfolio in recent years.

NatWest has more than 19million customers and it says over 3.5million customers use online banking.

Last year Natwest Group closed 48 sites and in 2023 it shuttered nearly 20 branches.

Since 2015, NatWest Group, which encompasses NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland, and Ulster Bank, has closed 1,409 branches.

Following the confirmation of the latest round of closures, a spokesperson for NatWest said more customers “than ever before” were using digital banking.

They said: “Over 80% of our active current account holders now use our digital services and over 97% of retail accounts with us are now opened online.

“Our customers appreciate the speed and convenience of digital banking for everyday transactions, and often, when it comes to making bigger, more complex decisions they value speaking to our skilled and experienced colleagues.”

They added: “We expect to invest over £20m in our network across the UK in 2025 to improve customer service, enhance the look and feel of our branches, and reduce the environmental impact of our buildings, as well as continuing to invest in shared solutions like the Post Office and Banking Hubs.

“We will also provide temporary support for transitions to our new network in selected locations through our 12-week Community Pop-Ups.”

The latest round of closures from NatWest comes as other big banks shutter hundreds of branches between them.

According to Which?, around 6,100 bank and building society branches have closed since January 2015 across the UK.

This is equivalent to 61% of branches that existed 10 years ago.

Banks have cited reduced customer footfall and a trend towards digital banking as two of the main reasons for closing branches.

But the loss of sites on the high street can cause a headache for locals who still require a physical branch.

Research has found around 39% of people over 65 did not use online banking and were at “high risk of financial exclusion“.

While a survey conducted by Which? last year found more than half of disabled or impaired people had negatively been impacted by bank closures.

What to do if your local bank branch closes

If a recent bank or building society closure has left you without one nearby, you have some alternatives.

You can carry out most basic banking tasks at your nearest Post Office, although you won’t be able to apply for a loan or open a new bank account there.

You can find your nearest Post Office branch by using the locator tool on its website.

Some banks offer a mobile banking service – a bus that comes to your area offering services you can usually get at a physical branch.

Other banks use buildings such as village halls or libraries to offer mobile banking services.

It’s worth contacting your bank to see what services they have available, and when they might next be in your area.

If you’re thinking about giving online banking a go, comparison website Uswitch has a useful guide on all the need to knows.

You could also switch your current account to a bank or building society that has branches closer to you.

You can switch current accounts for free, in most cases, through the Current Account Switch Service (CASS).

A BUS driver and his “frail” wife who tragically died when their car plunged 300ft off a cliff have been identified by locals.

John and Lynn King were reportedly with their two Daschshunds when their car plummeted into Alum Bay, near to the Needles, on the Isle of Wight last Friday.

The couple’s silver Ford Mondeo left the road close to the world-famous coastal landmark, killing the pair instantly.

It is understood that John, who drove for local company Southern Vectis, was a full-time carer for his wife.

According to locals, Lynn had rarely been seen out the house for the past two years.

Speaking to the MailOnline, one neighbour said: “She wasn’t well, I don’t know exactly what she was suffering from but I think it was serious.

“John was effectively her carer. He was helping his wife to the car and their two Dachshund dogs were with them.

‘His wife looked really, really frail. I was surprised to see her out of the house. She was hunched over quite badly and was finding it very difficult to walk.”

Emergency services were scrambled to Alum Bay New Road, close to the coastal spot, shortly after 7.20pm on Friday.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary confirmed on Sunday that two people died in the tragedy.

The force explained: “A car, which was being driven along Alum Bay New Road, left the road, came off the cliff top and came to rest in the water below.”

Cops also closed the neighbouring Needles Landmark Attraction while emergency crews attended the site.

Responders were stood down in the early hours of Saturday morning.

In a statement released on Saturday evening, a police spokesperson said: “Formal identification has yet to take place, but their next of kin have been notified.

“As part of the ongoing investigation into the incident, on behalf of the coroner, officers have been carrying out enquiries at an address on Arctic Road, Cowes.”

ARSENAL could see their move for Benjamin Sesko sensationally hijacked by Al-Hilal – who want to sign the striker TODAY.

The Gunners have made 6ft 5in Sesko their No1 target in the summer transfer window and last week approached RB Leipzig for talks.

But the North Londoners – who have been told the Slovenian frontman will cost close to £70million – are yet to make an opening bid.

Meanwhile, Saudi Pro League champions Al-Hilal are ready to turn their attention to the forward after missing out on Victor Osimhen.

And according to Sky Sports, they could make their move TODAY to try and sign Sesko before the deadline to have him at the Club World Cup.

The expanded 32-team tournament kicks off on Sunday – but players must be registered by 7pm TONIGHT.

It would come as a huge blow to Arsenal, who have led the race to sign Sesko over the likes of Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester United.

Al-Hilal looked set to sign ex-Napoli star Osimhen – who spent last season on loan at Galatasaray.

But the Nigerian international – who helped Galatasaray win the league – rejected a stunning £650,000-a-week deal from the Saudi champions.

Galatasaray are now believed to be favourites to sign Osimhen – who scored 26 goals in 30 league matches on loan.

Sesko meanwhile finished his campaign with 21 goals in 45 matches to catch the attention of Europe’s elite.

And he topped Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta’s summer shopping list as the Spaniard looks to recruit a new No9.

But Al-Hilal’s deep pockets and desperate bid to take a striker to the Club World Cup marks huge competition for Arteta’s Gunners.
