The front-page headline on today's Daily Mirror is "JO SUSPECT IS PEEPING TOM". I haven't seen what the other papers say, the Mirror was all that was left when I was in ASDA [and no, I didn't buy it!].

The Contempt of Court Act restricts publication of information that could seriously prejudice a future trial.
Attorney General Dominic Grieve said if necessary he would take action.
In an interview for BBC Radio 4's World At One on Friday, Mr Grieve said: "We are considering what I've seen in newspapers today, and we will try to take such action as is right to ensure that the course of justice is not in any way impeded."
Former public school teacher Mr Jefferies, 65, was arrested on suspicion of murder in the flat above the one Miss Yeates had rented in Canynge Road, Bristol.
On Friday morning, police were granted a further 12 hours to question him.
Miss Yeates, 25, was found dead on Christmas Day, eight days after she was last seen on CCTV visiting an off-licence and two local supermarkets.
