All Black has home torched in suspected arson attack Wed 18:13
Former All Black Murray Mexted's holiday home in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand has been destroyed in a suspected arson attack, reports TV NZ.
Fire investigators are still trying to determine how the fire started at the ex-players ‘bach’ on the Mahia Peninsula, and they have yet to rule out arson as a possible cause.
Mexted has allegedly upset locals in the area with plans for a six-lot subdivision on the section of land.
The fire comes just one day before a Environment Court hearing about the proposed development plans, The Sunday Herald reports. The holiday home on New Zealand’s North Island was due to be demolished in order to make way for the subdivision.

Bahamas private island yours for £36m Wed 18:07
Sotheby’s International is hoping to sell a private island with its own airstrip in the Bahamas for £36 million.
According to London’s Evening Standard, it is thought that either a Russian tycoon or a movie star will purchase the 680 acre plot in The Exumas.
The property includes a seven-bedroom mansion, a four-bedroom staff house and a two-bedroom cottage for the caretaker. There are also plenty of idyllic sandy beaches.
The new owner's neighbours will include Johnny Depp, David Copperfield, and Aga Khan, who all own holiday homes in the Bahamas.

Dubai properties bought by 12 year old boy Wed 18:04
The son of Azerbaijan's president has spent nearly £30 million on nine mansions in Dubai.
According to The Telegraph, 12 year old Heydar Aliyev allegedly bought the properties in the Palm Jumeirah development over a two week period earlier this year.
The development of luxury properties is extremely popular with multimillionaires, British footballers and celebrities, many of whom have holiday homes in the United Arab Emirates.
Heydar's name and date of birth have appeared on Dubai Land Department records, although it remains unclear whether the properties were purchased as a gift for the boy or not.
Officials in the country's capital, Baku, have refused to discuss these claims.

Devon holiday homes lose gardens to coastal landslides Wed 17:58
Landslides have removed large chunks of garden from two four-bedroomed homes thought to be worth around £400,000 each.
Locals in South Milton close to Kingsbridge, Devon have said that it was simply down to luck that no one was killed as the coastal path fell into the sea and coastal erosion took its toll. Following the fall, officials have now fenced off the area affected and re-routed the coastal path.
Speaking about the properties affected, local pub landlord Ian Pedrick told The Daily Telegraph: "A massive part of the cliff just came away and both those houses are now getting really close to the edge.” Mr. Pedrick also told the paper: ''They've only got small gardens and there's now just a few metres between the sea and them."
The cliff path, itself set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is owned and maintained by the National Trust.
A spokesman for the trust said: ''We have to face up to the fact that the tide cannot be held back forever.
''Sea level rise and climate change are forecasted to increase the scale and pace of coastal change.”
