DEATH ROW Marcellus Williams

A CONVICTED murderer has avoided being put to death by just a few hours after new DNA evidence was found.

A COUPLE got married twice in the same church, on the same date, with the same bridesmaid, 13 years apart.

Pals Ian and Carrie Horner, now 36, took part in a mock ceremony for an educationa­l video on June 9, 2004.

The pair lost touch, but years later became a couple. They wed at Holy Trinity Church in Fareham, Hants, on June 9, with Carrie’s cousin, Brooke Emms, age 19, as bridesmaid again.

Groom Ian, 33, of Rustington, West Sussex, said: “We were always meant to be together and now we are.” Carrie & Brooke
