A "MURDER" investigation has been carried out by Worcester primary school pupils - and their scientific skills have led to the capture of the killer.

The murder mystery event at Nunnery Wood High School yesterday launched the school's bid to become the first science college in the area.

Year Five pupils from feeder schools were invited to take part in the fun science project.

They discovered the killer of Lord Grabit to be the cook, and the arrest was made by PC Mel Mason - also the school's head of science.

"It went very well," said Mr Mason. "Part of the science college bid requires us to liaise with feeder schools. Our bid will be put in in October."
