The Artemis programme is a robotic and human Moon exploration program led by the United States' National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) along with six major partner agencies and is intended to re-establish a human presence on the Moon for the first time since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972 There are several elements to the programme which also has the long-term goal of establishing a permanent base on the Moon to facilitate the feasibility of human missions to Mars This talk will provide a summary of the whole programme but with a healthy degree of scepticism aiming to balance aspirations and reality https://us02web.zoom.us/j/2290355817?pwd=TENINVhnL2hyMnN1MEh4cDhMVGlIUT09&omn=89349694800Meeting ID: 229 035 5817 Passcode: SPRat26 John retired in May 2013 after

which came in a dominant first half hour after which a lively Ilkley team kept themselves in the game and matched them point for point Ed Barber and Tom Dalton produced two touchdowns in the second half to add to those by Fin Stewart and Gaz Widdop from the first but it was the visitors who wrapped up the scoring with a well-earned bonus point try at the death Head coach Danny Brough (below) had mixed feelings about his team’s performance and said: “I was pretty pleased with how we attacked and we scored some lovely tries “But we could have been more aggressive in defence We were a bit lacklustre at times and gifted them a couple of easy tries it was a convincing win and I am happy to keep rolling on.” Field rocked Ilkley from the opening whistle and took a 7-point lead from a penalty try after five minutes Their early dominance was set up by a powerful interception by lock Dan Lloyd and fine work by full-back Lewis Workman wingman Kian Stewart and centres Widdop and Barber in combination A beleaguered Ilkley defence gave away penalties and after four in quick succession on their line referee Potts lost patience showed their No8 Jack Hamilton yellow and awarded Field their first seven points Ilkley got themselves on the scoresheet on 25 minutes with a Louis Anderson penalty but Field struck for a second time from the re-start The effervescent Fin Stewart threaded his way down the right flank evading defenders from half way with alacrity for his try after which his brother Kian set up Widdop for his Kian Stewart matched his brother’s smart running with an elusive sprint down the left wing and chipped cleverly over the onrushing cover for Widdop to chase up and dot down Fly-half Will Milner converted both tries to give Field a healthy 18-point lead approaching half-time at which point they seemed to take their foot off the gas An energetic Ilkley team seized the moment Moving the ball swiftly and accurately through the hands with Anderson centre Ben Magee and Harry Taylor on the wing producing the threat Anderson rounded off a slick move by nipping through a gap for a try which he converted to take the score to 21-10 at half-time After the interval Ilkley continued where they left off running and passing well with speed and accuracy Five minutes into the second period fly-half Charles Morgan breached the Field line for another try for Ilkley which Anderson converted With their leading margin now down to just four points Field re-focused and produced a purposeful spell It started with a clever chip forward by Barber and ended with his try Fin Stewart threatened after picking up Barber’s kick but a knock on allowed Ilkley to clear behind the scrum Field returned to the attack and shifted the ball left and right Liam Parfitt carried close and when the ball from the breakdown was moved inside Barber powered through for the try bonus and Milner added the extras Ilkley gained a 5 metre lineout when Field were penalised for a tip tackle and having secured possession with a clean catch they mauled forward The ball was passed infield and Hamilton cruised in for a try which Anderson converted With the deficit down to four points again Ilkley were chasing the game and continuing to play open attacking rugby but when they knocked on Field produced their best spell and seized back control of the game In a continuous spell of 15-man rugby Kian Stewart Workman and Lloyd made noticeable individual contributions and after stretching the Ilkley defence in both directions Tom Dalton eased through a gap in their defensive line for try number five Milner completed Field’s scoring with the conversion and a penalty The final five minutes fizzed end to end with Barbarian-style play and the ended with Field scrapping in defence of their line Field flanker Joe Christian and Barber were yellow carded and centre Harry Harrison exploited the space made available by their departure with a final try for Ilkley Huddersfield

SS100 with racing pedigree is set to be sold next month as an ex-Bob Matthews Ulster Grand Prix bike heads to Stafford Spring Sale The machine is just one of several historically important racing machines we’ll be highlighting in the coming weeks but with an estimate of between £300,000 and £350,000 it’s clearly going to be the star of the sale An ex-Ulster GP Brough Superior SS100 The bike is thought to be one of only 12 original SS100s from 1925 that are known to survive and boasts the all-important matching frame It’s the racing pedigree that many will latch on to though with this bike being a genuine piece of road racing history thanks to a second-place finish in the 1927 Ulster Grand Prix The Brough Superior SS100 is widely regarded as the first ‘true’ superbike some forty-five years before the Honda CB750 went on to receive the same credit It featured a host of design features and details some of which would take decades to be picked up on again One of those features was the rear suspension system which utilised a rear swingarm linked to a horizontally mounted shock absorber and this was at a time when conventional twin shocks were something of a rarity The bike as it was This particular example was painstakingly prepared for racing at the Brough factory with a special separate fuel and oil tank design which was eventually rolled out across other SS100 models factory-fitted racing parts and provenance at the Ulster GP we wouldn’t be surprised to see it exceed its auction estimate We’ll update this page once the results are in You can find more information

conducting business in the region has not caused them to lose their strong appetite for funding hospitality investment in this part of the world the Caribbean Hospitality Financing Survey 2025 found the survey is produced by a firm of chartered accountants and business advisers with operations here and in the Caribbean managing director for Baker Tilly in Turks and Caicos Islands advisory manager for the Caribbean in a 37-page report released on April 30 They said that survey respondents were asked to identify countries in the Caribbean which they feel most bullish about in terms of their willingness to fund projects five of which were nominated by both banks and non-banks Barbados was not one of the countries put forward by banks and non-banks The five countries favoured by both banks and non-banks are the Bahamas and St Kitts and Nevis are favoured by the non-banks and Trinidad and Tobago were favoured by banks alone “Most banks consider their pipeline to be stronger than last year and they have seen increased transaction activity and an improvement in the performance of their tourism clients,” Brough and Mullin reported “The appetite to finance Caribbean tourism projects remains strong and financing terms have seen no material change.” as “the ability to acquire adequate insurance coverage at a reasonable price “Whilst the feedback from respondents on how difficult it is to conduct business in the Caribbean has improved somewhat The officials elaborated on the insurance issue by stating that “this year all banks continue to confirm that insurance remains a challenge 14 per cent now state it is a ‘really big issue’ while the remaining 86 per cent say it was an important factor in their lending decision – but only one of many” “Eighty five per cent of non-banks also said that ensuring a target project had access to adequate insurance was a challenge when investing Fifty-four per cent stated it is a really big issue,” the report says “When asked how they are dealing with insurance pricing and capacity challenges from a lending perspective 42 per cent of banks indicated that they have turned away potential business because of this issue “Another 29 per cent of banks stated that they have had to compromise their usual requirements regarding insurance The remaining 29 per cent of banks stated that they have experienced no problem with insurance pricing and capacity challenges – describing it as ‘business as usual’,” it added Baker Tilly said they “will continue to monitor it closely whilst keeping our fingers firmly crossed for a particularly quiet hurricane season” Responses for the survey were collected between January 30 and March 13 and as Brough and Mullin pointed out this was before the United States’ announcements about higher tariffs issued what it called “a cautionary note” acknowledging that “it was likely that events occurring between the closing of our survey and issuing our publication would have impacted some

across the country with a predominantly Senegal-based crew and the film also involved a Senegalese team at all production levels Their mission was not just to capture the essence of Senegalese life and culture but to do so authentically focusing on real lived experiences rather than staged scenes I did a lot of preparation work and ended up with a 100-page research document,” Brough recalls “I wanted to go there with as much knowledge as possible and ensure I understood everything before arriving It wasn’t just about people featured in the videos; it was also everyone we worked with from

needed as work continues on the project to build the roundabout.   The nighttime closures between now and October are necessary according to East Riding of Yorkshire Council to join up arms on the £4.7 million A63/Welton Road Brough Junction Scheme which is designed to improve a congested junction in the town.   Work began on the project in July last year and the roundabout is expected to be completed in November.   The scheme involves the construction of a large three-lane roundabout with traffic signals to replace the busy junction at Welton Road Overnight closures will take place at the western end of Stanley Jackson Way from 7pm to 6am each night from Friday 30th August to Friday 13th September to allow for the construction of the tie in with the realigned Water Lane A diversion will be in place via Broadley Way and Common Lane. Stanley Jackson Way will reopen during the day.   The workforce will also be working night shifts from 27th August to 26th September.   A nighttime closure is planned for the A63 westbound slip roads on Monday 16th September to Wednesday 25th September between 7pm to 6am.  A diversion will be in operation via A63 westbound to South Cave then returns to Brough via Elloughton this also includes utilising a local diversion route via Broadley Way/Common Lane.  A nighttime closure is planned for Welton Road/Welton Low Road junction this means the A63 eastbound slip roads being closed to and from Brough This will take place on Friday 4th October to Wednesday 9th October from 7pm to 6am.  A diversion route will be in operation via A63 Eastbound to Melton Interchange then returning A63 Westbound to return to Brough For traffic travelling between Brough and Welton/A63 east a diversion route will be in place via Brough to South Cave Interchange to A63 eastbound.  the council’s portfolio holder for housing and infrastructure at East Riding of Yorkshire Council said: “Work on this roundabout is entering the final few months but there is still plenty to be done before we can open it.   “Thanks to residents and drivers for their patience during these nighttime closures as they are essential to the scheme.  “We’ve purposefully made sure to avoid any day-time road closures so they cause as little disruption as possible.”  Shannon Foubister took a “leap of faith” in 2021 when she bought a catering trailer for her business Brough Bakes in Orkney this was self-taught baker Shannon’s first go at running a business by herself She “took the plunge” during lockdown purchasing a catering trailer without seeing it in the flesh “I put all my savings into it and went for it,” Shannon “I’m really proud of where I’m at after starting the business from nothing at a young age.” “I try to keep it very sweet,” she adds “Many say that I have the best brownies in Orkney and different from the typical burger trailer.” The first trailer Shannon bought unfortunately wasn’t quite what she expected she and her family helped get it to a usable condition And in summer of 2021, she officially started running Brough Bakes on Orkney “I opened up and it was really busy and popular “I was very chuffed with that.” Shannon replaced that first trailer with a custom-made trailer in June 2023 She says there were “happy tears” when this second trailer arrived “It was amazing – what a feeling,” she says “It made me realise the work and the money that I’d put into it “It’s one of those moments where you realise you’ve really done it.” Running Brough Bakes is very fulfilling for Shannon “What I enjoy is providing quality bakes that the customers deserve,” says Shannon “A full day in the trailer can be very stressful but once you’ve done the day and you can stand back and look at what you’ve sold “There is no better feeling than someone complimenting me and passing their feedback on “Plus all the support from my friends my partner and my family has been amazing.” This isn’t 23-year-old Shannon’s first stint working in Orkney’s food and drink scene “As soon as I could work, I worked in a restaurant,” adds the Orkney baker “If something wasn’t going right she was always the first person that got a phone call – and she still is “I always enjoyed her bakes as well.” including a Spring fair and a Christmas market “It’s such a lovely feeling to be asked along to events,” she adds “Especially in Orkney when it is such a small place and there’s a lot of bakery businesses opening up “There is a lot more competition now compared to when I started so it means a lot to still have my customers supporting me.”

posts Concrete never had a chance against Howard's implacable Northern stubbornness Imagine what it was like for us "Southern Softies" born somewhere lower down the map than his beloved Doncaster When we were starting the Racing Post in 1985 Howard was one of the first names on the roster and one we were least likely to regret He was not only quite tirelessly industrious but was never happier than when confronted by the latest impenetrable racing review To have so solid a centre back was a quite wonderful bonus for our emerging team The ball was safe when you passed it to Howard Even if you might not get it back for a while He was one of racing's most committed friends Any visit to a county racing club would find Howard a previous visitor or more likely chairman for the evening but everything else paled when it came to Doncaster and his twin passions for the St Leger and for Doncaster Rovers My final memory of him was at last year's race and as ever he was keen to remind us that he had been at every St Leger since Black Tarquin won in 1948 with the King and Queen and an estimated 500,000 crowd also in attendance On St Leger Eve some 40 years later the somewhat dilapidated Belle Vue stadium hosted a charity match between a "Celebrity Team" and our "Racing XI" Wright guarding the goal in woolly gloves and a flat cap We went ahead with a goal from a Michael Dickinson corner which landed on the top of John Oaksey's unwitting head and looped unerringly over the keeper and in by the far post which in those days included all sorts of stars like Mick Channon and in this case Jack Charlton and Ian St John Again and again "The Saint" sliced through our molten butter defence and hammered in a shot only to be denied by the unlikely figure between the uprights Maybe it was more of a case of St John hitting the man more than the target but it was one of Howard's finest hours Racing Post founding news editor Howard Wright dies at the age of 79  'Howard was the best

William E “If you’re looking for a seriously rare and special motorcycle then you don’t need to look much further than this 1930 Brough Superior SS100,” Senior motorcycle specialist at H&H Classics with this particular machine ridden at the Edinburgh Trial by George Brough It underwent a restoration in 1980 with expert Tony Cripps and has been on loan to the NMM in the past “When you also consider it’s a works-prepared machine which George Brough used in the tough MCC Edinburgh Trial then it reaches another level of desirability,” Davis continued Bikes were available to view from 1pm on Tuesday with the motorcycle portion of the auction starting at noon the following day Other lots also included a 2023 BSA Gold Star, which was the last bike ridden on screen by the late Dave Myers in the BBC’s ‘The Hairy Bikers Go West’ It sold for £18,170 to a round of applause raising money for the NSPCC and CancerCare charities Although the National Motorcycle Museum specialises in the

second-placed York at Clifton Park Francis Entessengle and Lewis Workman gave them a commanding and well-deserved lead and although York mounted a spirited second half comeback they were rocked back and restricted to a single score The 24-7 defeat was only the third of the season suffered by York and the first on home turf Field head coach Danny Brough was thrilled with his team’s performance and said: “We knew York were unbeaten at home and we targeted a win there as our goal over Christmas “The lads bought into it and we were ready to go We fired into the game with real intensity but we bombed three or four chances in the first half “Our second half defensive play was pivotal It’s all part of what we have being trying to instil in our DNA.” Having charged down a defensive clearance they took possession from the lineout after York had scrambled to get the ball away Hooker Harry Moore made good yards and when the ball reached Stewart on the right wing he rolled out of tackles to round the defence with aplomb Fly-half Will Milner landed the first of his conversions Centre Max Horsfall drew a penalty after a dynamic break and a promising move from the subsequent lineout saw Field come close In a first quarter played entirely in the York half Field showed attacking zeal and pressed to increase their lead Pressured into penalties and pinned back inside their 22 York battled hard to prevent further scores Horsfall continued to make holes in the York midfield and twice Kian Stewart threatened the York line A lovely left wing run was halted by an illegal tackle and when Milner grubbed in-goal he was narrowly beaten to the dot down by a York defender Having prevented further damage in the early onslaught York spurned two golden opportunities to get themselves on the scoresheet Fly-half Harry Shackleton missed a simple penalty from in front of the sticks and when Field were penalised on their 22 he kicked his lineout attempt touch in-goal Fittingly it was Field that got the scoreboard ticking again as the first half drew to a close Having missed a 35-metre penalty attempt at goal Milner put his next kick into touch From a 10-metre lineout York were penalised as the ball was mauled towards their line A second lineout maul proved unstoppable and flanker Entressengle touched down behind the drive In stoppage time a high tackle by Field prop Loz Sanderson earned him a yellow card and a prolonged half-time rest but when the second half began it was 14-man Field who went on the offensive cutting an inside line which set up several good phases of play which ended with Fin Stewart being tackled into touch as he headed for the line From York’s clearance kick Field regained possession and York gave away a penalty which set up a 10-metre lineout Workman came into the line from full-back to receive his inside pass and crash through for his try Milner’s conversion took the score to 21-0 in Field’s favour but when they were penalised it heralded a prolonged attacking spell for the home side Field mounted a well-organised and uncompromising defence of their line and several close quarter forward drives were driven backwards by the intensity of Field’s tackling Having failed to make headway centre field York eventually shipped the ball wide to Henry du Bulay who managed to squeeze through for a corner flag try which was ably converted by Shackleton From the restart Field went straight back into attack The ball changed hands as Myers and Horsfall broke clear and when York were penalised Milner took the points In the final quarter York produced a fluent spell which had Field defending furiously once again In ferocious defiance Field’s intensity led to penalties which enabled York to sustain the pressure inside the Field 22 Tap and goes were rebuffed; twice York chanced their arm with 5-metre penalty options but the Field pack proved rock solid Field lock Thiu Barnard was given a yellow card but the 14 men in claret and gold eventually secured turnover ball took play back to halfway and saw the game out to a successful conclusion Huddersfield are now only five points behind York in the table with a game in hand A good result against Blaydon at home on Saturday January 11 (ko 2.15pm) could see them move up to second place Huddersfield: Workman; Stewart K; Horsfall; Barber; Stewart F; Milner; Briggs; Thompson;

Nottingham to change the use of the church and add an extension is to be considered by Newark and Sherwood District Council’s planning committee on Thursday The plans are for the Victorian-built St Stephen’s Church which has not been used by a congregation for many years but maintains the use classification as a place of worship The proposed extension would be brick and clay tile to correspond with the brick construction of the church Other proposed external changes are three roof lights Mature trees heavily shield the site from Fosse Road while the other two would be in and above the existing chancel A family bathroom and ensuite would also be included in the chancel area The existing nave would remain double height Three stained glass windows would be removed The porch is proposed to remain as the main entrance to the house while the vestry would become a rear lobby There is currently no vehicular access to the site and a new three-car driveway is proposed with access from Fosse Road Plans for the site have been modified during the planning process to address concerns raised by officers and consultees It has been brought to the planning committee for decision in line with Collingham Parish Council’s concerns about archaeology The parish council unanimously objected to the application in November 2024 Historic England has supported the application but raised some concerns regarding alterations to the chancel arch Posted by | Aug 16, 2024 | | 0 Huddersfield RUFC begin their 2024/25 campaign with a pre-season home game versus Old Brodleians at Lockwood Park tomorrow (Saturday August 17) and head coach Danny Brough has assembled a sizeable squad of players for the first run out and is keen to get things underway The former Huddersfield Giants captain and Scottish rugby league international took over the coaching reins at Lockwood Park towards the end of last season which ended with relegation from the National Leagues He is optimistic that the team will be competitive in the Regional 1 North East Division this season Although frustrated by the inevitable unavailability of players for training in the summer holidays Brough is pleased with the way preparations have gone in the close season He said: “We have retained most of the old guard and made some new signings and the lads have put a massive amount of effort into training “New captain Liam Parfitt and vice-captain Lewis Workman have worked particularly hard and led by example “Our aim this year is to produce success through team work rather than a reliance on individuals and create genuine competition for places “We are without seven first teamers for tomorrow’s game but some of last year’s Colts have raised their hand to step up to the plate “Lance Barker will be featuring at fly-half a great kicking game and he reads the game well “Seventeen-year-old back rower Sam Haywood is also showing a lot of promise He is a strong defender and good ball carrier.” Brough is hopeful that Huddersfield will be able to field three teams at senior level this year and wants to create a culture of inclusivity by ensuring all players spend plenty of time together He said: “I want our success to be based on effort and hard work I don’t want to be unrealistic but think we will be there or thereabouts this season and I am very hopeful of a top four finish.” Huddersfield’s First XV

planning committee approved the plans submitted by the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham on Thursday (January 16) The application is to change the use of the Victorian-built St Stephen’s Church The church has not been used by a congregation for many years but is still classified as a place of worship A family bathroom and en-suite would also be included in the chancel area and a new three-car driveway is proposed with access from Fosse Road through a line of mature trees the chief executive of the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham said at the meeting that the church closed down in 1986 at the request of the local parochial church council It was used for storage for a few years until its use was no longer required He added: “Having explored a variety of alternative uses we believe residential use to be the only viable use to secure its long-term future “We believe our proposals are sensitive to the historic fabric of the building recognising that some degree of compromise is required when converting a Victorian church into a house fit for use in the 21st century.” He said that the original plans had been modified from the original proposal to result in less substantive harm to the significance of the building as a designed heritage asset after feedback from planning officers in Historic England Penny Rainbow said: “It was a very sad sight visit — to see a church in that state was quite painful and I feel a little embarrassed that we as a district and the church have left it to get into such a state “There’s a balance between preservation and renovation and reading the report I was minded not to support this “I think the building needs and deserves to be saved and I don’t have a problem with the contrast of the old and new and if that is what is going to take to the building back in use then ok.” Emma Oldham said that she supports the application and the contrast between old and new as it is more sustainable than building new properties from scratch however mentioned her concerns about the lack of footpaths on the premises Ward member Linda Dales raised some of the Collingam Parish Council's main concerns as damage to the building’s archaeology and changes to the interior of the building She believes that the parish council should have the opportunity to visit the site in order to understand the need for the project “They [Collingham Parish Council] raised some genuine concerns about protecting the integrity of the building and I think there can be no doubt I agree with the conversation officer that this scheme is harmful to the Grade Two listed building,” she said “It results in a high degree of harm to the special interest in the setting of the listed building — however we have to weigh against the principle of conversion which is acceptable “The building is structurally sound and none of us want it to fall down.” Tim Wildgust added: “What are your alternatives You either leave it and it decays and falls down or we try to preserve things.” The planning applications have been approved by the planning committee Thanks for visiting The use of software that blocks ads hinders our ability to serve you the content you came

3, 2024 | | 0 Just over a month after the end of the 2023-24 season and the disappointment of relegation from the National Leagues, Huddersfield RUFC are starting to prepare for their Regional 1 North East return and with Huddersfield rugby legend Danny Brough at the helm as head coach there is a buzz of optimistic anticipation around Lockwood Park. Brough joined the Huddersfield coaching team late last season and inspired a noticeably improved defensive performance before assuming overall coaching responsibility at the very end of it. The former Huddersfield Giants and Scotland captain regards the division his team is entering as ‘a tough section’ but he has set his sights on a top four finish. Whilst pleased that most of last season’s squad have re-signed, Brough is also on the lookout for new recruits to plug gaps brought about by departures. He said: “It is a real honour to be given the coach’s job at a great club like Huddersfield and I am looking forward to getting the squad together and meeting the challenges ahead. “Our first priority is to find a couple of second row forwards to replace Thiu (Barnard) and Razor (Luke Pearson) and I am working with Nick Sharpe (chair of rugby) and Ed Barber (2023-24 captain) to find good replacements. “Lock is a highly specialised position and there doesn’t seem to be too many out there at present.” Barnard has retired from playing at the end of a long career and Pearson has plans to play in New Zealand this coming winter. The pair have been the backbone of the Huddersfield pack in recent times. Brough is also looking towards home-grown talent to bolster his senior squad. The club has one of the strongest Age Grade sections in the north of England and Brough’s son Henry plays in their under-14 team which reached the Yorkshire Cup final last season. The Huddersfield Colts team are current Yorkshire Premier champions and five of their number gained Yorkshire county caps in April. “I will be watching teams from under-12 right through to Colts to spot talent,” said Brough. “I take the view that if you are good enough, you are old enough.” Players can compete at senior level from the age of 17 and at the end of last season Colts’ player Archie Stancliffe was given his chance by Brough at that age. The youngster impressed on the wing and this season he will be joined by fly-half Lance Barker who is the latest prospect to feature in the coach’s plans. Huddersfield aim to field three senior sides next season and Brough is full of admiration for club stalwarts Joe Shiel and George Hinchliff who have been tireless in their efforts to support the grassroots of rugby at the club. He said: “Joe and George have done a great job of keeping the second and third teams going. Their achievements have been immense. “We are targeting a senior squad of 25+ and want a strong second team and genuine competition for places. I need players who never give in and want to play for Huddersfield and I want selection to be effort and performance based.” Leading the First XV on the field this year will be Liam Parfitt, with Lewis Workman serving as vice-captain. Parfitt, who plays in the back row, has been with the club since 2016 and Workman is a one club man who started playing as an 11-year-old. Pre-season preparation begins in earnest at the end of June when the squad will gather for a signing-on night at which Brough will set out his expectations. He said: “I want everybody to be available and want to see teams training together and the Colts joining in with the seniors.” Huddersfield have lost their place in the fourth tier of English rugby twice since reaching it in 2008. On both occasions they have bounced straight back as champions of the league below. With Brough’s winner’s mentality and motivational drive, a third Level 5 championship is not out of the question. Nardia Louise Spice's body was found buried in bushland in Jarrahdale in late 2022. (GoFundMe: Sheena Purser ) Zachariah Dean Brough admitted murdering mother-of-six Nardia Louise Spice after luring to her a petrol station in the southern Perth suburb of Byford in September 2022. He then took her to a nearby dog park to have sex, before he hit her on the head with a pipe wrench, causing a major head injury.  Today a Perth judge sentenced him to 21 years in prison for the crime, with the sentence backdated to October 2022.  Link copiedShareShare articleA Perth man who killed a 40-year-old woman in a revenge attack over stolen property has been sentenced to more than 20 years in jail for murder. WARNING: This story contains distressing descriptions of violence, including sexual violence. Zachariah Dean Brough admitted murdering mother-of-six Nardia Louise Spice after luring to her a petrol station in the southern Perth suburb of Byford in September 2022 with the promise of drugs then taking her to a nearby dog park to have sex with her. The WA Supreme Court heard he had tried to "lull her into a false sense of security" before hitting her on the head with a pipe wrench, causing a major head injury. Brough was one of four people charged in relation to the incident, which the court heard was the culmination of a series of events arising out of a house-sharing arrangement that turned sour. Zachariah Dean Brough (left), with Eve Marsh, has been sentenced to more than 20 years in jail for the murder of Nardia Spice.  (Supplied: Facebook) Ms Spice, along with her friend Jesse Desmond Jones, had been staying at the home of Brough's partner Eve Marsh in late 2022 on a temporary basis while they searched for somewhere permanent to live. The court was told Ms Spice attacked Marsh, binding her with cable ties, spitting in her face, and threatening to drown her "in a fish tank". The 40-year-old also forced Marsh into humiliating acts, including "barking like a dog" and made her sign over her Ford Territory to her for $1,000. Ms Spice and Mr Jones then slept in the car until Brough, who suspected Ms Spice of stealing his tools, phoned her to say he had found some drugs. The pair met at the Byford service station before heading to the dog park, while Marsh and another accomplice, Ziggy Vanags, followed in a separate vehicle. Zachariah Dean Brough (right) has been jailed for murdering Nardia Spice, while Eve Marsh (left) has pleaded guilty to her manslaughter.  (Supplied: Facebook) After Brough whacked Ms Spice over the head, he, Vanags and Marsh bound her hands with cable ties, wrapped her in a doona cover and put her in the boot of his car. Prosecutor Paul Usher said it wasn't known if Ms Spice was still alive at this point. She was taken to bushland in Whitby, about seven kilometres away, before being moved later that night to nearby Jarrahdale, where a hole was dug. The court heard that at Whitby, bleach was poured into Ms Spice's vagina in an apparent attempt to remove DNA evidence before she was wrapped in plastic. Her body was found buried in Jarrahdale, in October 2022 after police were taken there by Vanags. Mr Usher told the court a pathologist found that "an element of asphyxiation cannot be ruled out". Justice Amanda Forrester queried this, asking if it was possible Ms Spice may have died as a result of being wrapped in plastic. The prosecutor acknowledged the "inconsistency", but said it was the state's case that Ms Spice was deceased by the time the bleach was used, before she was wrapped in plastic. Brough and Vanags also poured bleach onto blood stains at the dog park in late September 2022, the court heard. Electrical zip ties, a pipe wrench, a shovel and other items relating to the crime were discovered at Mundaring Weir dam in February 2023. Brough sat with his head in his hands for much of the sentencing hearing. Justice Amanda Forrester told him she accepted the plan was to seriously assault Ms Spice "in order to recover Ms Marsh's property as well as your own". But she rejected Brough's claims that he was an unwilling participant in the sex with Ms Spice, saying she believed it was to "lull her into a false sense of security" before the attack. Zachariah Brough has been sentenced in the Supreme Court of Western Australia after pleading guilty. (AAP: Richard Wainwright) She referred to the "callousness" in the way Ms Spice's body was treated, with Brough "desecrating her remains for your own self-interest". Justice Forrester said Brough had "destroyed and disposed" of evidence to conceal the cause of death, describing the 34-year-old's prospects of rehabilitation from drug addiction as "guarded". Brough, who'd pleaded guilty to murder, was given a non-parole period of 21 years, backdated to October 2022. Marsh and Vanags have pleaded guilty to manslaughter, while Jesse Desmond Jones has pleaded not guilty to being an accessory after the fact.
