Robbie: I am not changing son’s nappies

Court told of horrific injuries

PARENTS Ayda and Robbie

ROBBIE Williams says he’s going to put in less effort with his new baby than he did with his other kids.

The singer insisted he is not spending much time with four-week-old Beau – or changing his nappies.

Robbie, 46, joked: “The fourth kid – I have been told he is doing well…

“I’m going to get involved when he is five or six, when you remember stuff.”

He told US show Access Hollywood: “It is all right, I have lots of help – hot and cold running staff.

“The first child I was like, I’ve got to do the nappies.

“By the fourth I was like, nobody has ever been to therapy and gone ‘my dad didn’t change my diapers’.”

Robbie, married to Ayda Field, 40, added he adores their kids so much he is “building a compound” so they can never leave home.

PROSECUTOR ON DUO RACING TO BIKE THEFT

PC Andrew Harper was dragged for a mile to his death behind a car for 91 seconds, a court has heard.

He was swung “like a pendulum” at an average of 42mph after his ankles became lassoed in a strap trailing from the Seat Toledo.

The PC suffered “catastrophic injuries” and his colleagues tried in vain to save him on the road after he became disentangled.

Opening the case against three teenagers charged with murdering the 28-year-old officer, Brian Altman QC said: “He was killed in truly shocking circumstances.”

Henry Long, 18, and two 17-yearolds, who cannot be named for legal reasons, deny murdering PC Harper last August.

The officer’s colleague was driving their unmarked BMW back to base when they received a report of a quad bike theft at 11.17pm.

Mr Altman said: “Despite it being well beyond the end of their shift… they responded to the call.

“It was a decision that was to cost Andrew Harper his life.”

The Old Bailey heard the officers were driving in a country lane near Sulhamstead, Berks, when they met the Seat, driven by Long, going the other way.

One of the 17-year-olds was a passenger and the other was on the quad bike which was being towed by the car. The bike was attached to the boot lid hinge with a crane strap that formed a loop.

The officers turned on their emergency lights and the teen on the bike dismounted, disconnected the strap from the handlebars then ran to jump through a passenger window of the Seat.

Footage from the BMW shows PC Harper running towards the lad. The officer’s feet became encircled in the strap and he was thrown on his back as the car sped off.

Prosecutors said Long knew PC Harper was entangled in the strap, and “he drove in a manner calculated to dislodge him”.

A driver who almost hit the Seat thought PC Harper was an injured deer. The Thames Valley policeman, whose uniform was ripped from his body, was barely alive when he was found by his crewmate. Members of PC Harper’s family, including wife Lissie, were in court during the hearing.

Crowbars, a hammer and a pipe were found in the boot of the Seat.

Long, of Mortimer, Berks, has admitted manslaughter, which the younger boys deny.

All three have pleaded guilty to conspiracy to steal a quad bike.

The trial continues.

Their shift was over but they responded. It cost him his life
