Bernadette Louise Padley was just a toddler when Scott Walker entered her life. It was 2006 and Walker and his second wife were living next door to three-year-old Bernadette and her family in Milnthorpe Lane in Wakefield. He started an affair with her mother, Sarah, then a pregnant single mother of five. A decade and a half – and four more children – later, their volatile, toxic relationship would implode. In July last year, the man Bernadette had called 'Dad' for as long as she could remember, killed the 17-year-old to silence her claims of sexual abuse at his hands. This week, as 51-year-old Walker was found guilty of murder and perverting the course of justice, his estranged wife Jill, to whom he is still legally married, spoke exclusively to the Mail about the terrifying, evil man who tore apart her own life before moving on to Bernadette's mother. She claims that 'highly-sexed' Walker regularly forced her to have sex, verbally abused her and threatened to kill

Australian prodigy Kaylee McKeown has dropped the F-bomb in a live poolside interview while dedicating her gold-medal-winning swim in the 100m backstroke to her recently deceased father.  The 20-year-old, who set a world record in June at the Australian Swimming Trials, added Olympic champion to that title, continuing the golden start to the Games by the Aussie women. Canada's Kylie Masse held a strong lead heading into the 50m turn and was 0.19 seconds ahead of McKeown's world record time but could not sustain that pace and the young Aussie stormed home to take gold.  'F*ck yeah!' McKeown said to Channel 7's poolside reporter after the race, throwing up a shaka in true Aussie fashion.   Her father Sholto passed away after a battle with brain cancer in August last year, with McKeown getting a tattoo as tribute saying 'I'll always be with you' on her foot.  'I hope you're proud, and I'll keep doing you proud,' she said after the win.   Aus
