A teenager is under arrest on suspicion of hurling a glass bottle which killed a mother-of-three as she enjoyed a Christmas drink in a crowded pub.

The 19-year-old was arrested hours after Emma O'Kane was killed when the bottle shattered against a pillar and a shard of glass stuck in her neck, cutting her throat, according to a witness.

She had been standing with her sister and other friends enjoying a Boxing Day drink at the bar of the Queen Anne Hotel in Heywood, Greater Manchester.

Ms O'Kane, who has children aged aged six, two and one, collapsed in a pool of blood and was pronounced dead at Fairfield Hospital in Bury, shortly after the incident at 2am.

A post-mortem examination will take place later.

Police said a man had been refused entry by door staff, and threw a bottle inside the pub.

Ms O'Kane lived in Heywood with her partner and three children.

Detective Superintendent Peter Jackson, who is leading the murder investigation, said: "A man tried to get into the pub and was refused entry. He became involved in an altercation with the doormen and threw a bottle into the pub.

"A shard of glass then caused a serious injury to this woman who was nothing to do with the argument and was out enjoying a drink at the bar.

"This tragic incident has left this woman's family devastated."

Police looking for a man in connection with the disappearance of a nurse, who was found alive in the boot of her car after being missing for 11 days, said she knew the suspect.

Magdeline Makola was discovered restrained inside her own Vauxhall Astra car in Airdrie, north Lanarkshire, on Friday afternoon.

Speaking at a press conference, Lothian and Borders Police said they believed she was introduced to the suspect a number of years ago but they were not in a relationship.

They also said there had been activity on her bank cards while she was missing.

Ms Makola of Howden in Livingston, West Lothian, was discovered by police officers who heard noises from the boot of the car.

They smashed the windows to get access and discovered the nurse. She was wearing night-clothes, had been restrained and was hypothermic and dehydrated.

Chief Inspector Tommy Tague of Lothian and Borders Police said they believed Ms Makola could have been in the boot for up to 10 days.

They are now hunting a black man who they believe she met through a mutual friend five or six years ago.

"It has been an exceptionally traumatic period for Magdeline," Ch Insp Tague said. "We were absolutely delighted to find her."

Ms Makola had not been seen since she left work at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary on December 15.
