OFFICERS ARE PUT ON A PRISON BREAK ; Suspended on full pay for 2 years

TWO prison officers at the centre of a "broken bones" scandal have been suspended on full pay for more than two years even though police ruled there was no case for them to answer. As an internal Prison Service review has been taking place the workers have continued to be suspended at a potential cost of pounds 140,000 to the taxpayer, even though the men claim to be desperate to return.

COVER STAR

KOREAN car makers are really catching up with those in Europe and Japan. The latest Hyundai is the i20, which replaced the unassuming Getz supermini and, in 1.4 Comfort form, is well up with the class- leading Ford Fiesta in almost every way ... and about pounds 2000 cheaper!

REVIEW ; SsangYong Kyron pounds 19,495

SSANGYONG'S Kyron is the best looking of the three models the Korean car maker sells in Britain - a striking and very competent 4x4 with all the right bells and whistles. Power comes from a 2.0-litre turbo diesel, which is reasonably smooth and refined even if it is always audible.

USED CAR ; Volkswagen Golf GTD: pounds 21,000

THE latest VW Golf GTI was launched not long ago, and now the ever-widening line up continues with the new GTD turbo diesel. A 168bhp power unit makes it the best-performing Golf diesel yet, and the latest in a long line of GTDs that started 27 years ago.
