THE parents of Neil Entwistle are to be given police protection as their son faces one of America’s most sensational murder trials this week. Authorities fear feelings will be running so high that Lillian and Clifford Entwistle could be at risk when they attend the hearing in Massachusetts along with friends and family of the victims. The couple from Worksop, Notts, have vowed to support the 29-year-old, despite the horrific nature of the charges. Entwistle is accused of shooting his wife Rachel, 27, and nine-month-old daughter Lillian, at their rented home outside Boston. The double murder in January 2006 caused a wave of revulsion, particularly the death of Lillian who was shot in the stomach. “It was thought prudent to give them police protection for the duration of the trial,” a court source revealed. “There are a lot of people who are still very angry over what happened and we do not want to take any chances. They will be escorted to and from the court and the local police will keep watch on them.” Entwistle, currently on suicide watch, has become one of the most hated defendants in recent history. Online chat rooms have been bombarded with messages of hate, while prison guards were so worried about his safety that they even issued him with body armour. Prosecutors will portray him as a secre- tive man who killed because he was unhappy with his sex life and had sunk into debt since moving to America five months before the murders. While he posed as the ideal family man, he was actually trawling explicit sex sites to meet women for extra-marital encounters. Police sources revealed he had joined an adult dating site and posted a nude picture of himself on a website. It is so explicit that the judge ordered it to be sealed until the prose- cution begin their case. His antics included embarking on a squalid internet affair with a woman whom police traced after examining his computer. She is expected to become the prosecu- tion’s star witness when she tells the jury how Entwistle was anything but the loyal and devoted husband and father he por- trayed to his friends. Detectives believe that the computer expert had planned to take his life. Instead he chose to flee to his parents’ home in Worksop, Notts, where he tried to contact a former girlfriend. He was arrested in London and extradited back to the US to face murder charges. Entwistle told police that he “panicked” after discovering the bodies and denies all charges.

Stilt-walkers, brass bands and people in fancy dress were among the protesters who created a carnival-like atmosphere for the event – being called Make A Noise Carnival. The demonstrators walked from Hatton Cross to Sipson, the village that will be lost if plans for a third runway at the west London airport go ahead. At Sipson, the protesters gathered in a field to form a huge “NO” that should be visible to passing aircraft. Many people travelled from across Europe to be part of the demonstration. Anna Serdaris, 50, from Athens, said: “We have the same problem at Athens airport and I felt I needed to show my support.” Politicians and environmentalists addressed the crowds. London’s deputy mayor, Richard Barnes, said that London mayor Boris Johnson was fully behind the campaign. Police fear for parents of murder trial man By Marco Giannangeli Letting imams teach our children is just a worthless gimmick FROM FRONT PAGE SPREADING THE WORD: An imam instructing pupils in Karachi. Now Labour wants them to teach in our schools scheme has been described as yet another worthless Government gimmick. Opponents said the plans would simply provide another opportuni- ty to deliver “faith-based citizen- ship lessons” on Islam. They also pointed out it was unnecessary as schools already cover such key faith issues in reli- gious education classes. Nick Seaton, chairman of the Campaign for Real Education, said: “Children should be taught different faiths, but that should be the responsibility of religious education teachers. “What we’re seeing here is a case of schools coming up with daft stunts instead of concentrat- ing on teaching the three Rs.” Teachers’ groups also voiced their concern. Martin Ward, deputy general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said: “Every school teaches pupils to be tolerant and know the tenets of different faiths. That’s exactly what religious education is supposed to be. The real causes of people getting into extremism are nothing to do with schools.” Imam Haroon Rashid Patel, whose work includes visiting Valentines High School in Ilford, Essex, where 40 per cent of the pupils have Muslim back- grounds, also condemned the proposals. “I don’t think this has been thought through,” he said. “To avoid extremism, you need to do much more than sending imams into schools. Families need to be involved as well.” Government officials said the imams could take part in lessons which include “discussing rights of neighbours, the sacredness of life or the importance of equal opportunities”.
