British woman in India 'shouted for help for hour'

A British woman who jumped from a hotel balcony in India fearing a sexual assault said on Sunday she shouted for help for more than an hour before she fled. Jessica Davies, 31, from London, said she had barricaded the door of her hotel room in Agra with furniture to stop two men from entering. "I held my key in the lock and I could feel them turning it from the other side," she told the BBC. Davies, a dental hygienist, injured both legs in the jump but said her ordeal could have been a lot worse.

Brothers charged in Briton's murder in Reunion

Two brothers aged 16 and 26 were charged Thursday in the 2011 murder of a British security agent working on a merchant ship that had stopped on the French Indian Ocean island of Reunion. Carl Davies, 33, was found dead in November 2011 in a gutter on the outskirts of the island's capital Saint-Denis, after an evening spent in several bars along with two other British security agents who arrived with him on the same ship, the Atlantic Trader.
