--- Quote ---Police in Ioannina, northwestern Greece, were questioning students and teachers at the local Dairy School on Monday after a coroner deemed that Vangelis Giakoumakis, a student at the school who was found dead after 38 days missing, took his own life.
A police investigation into the disappearance of Giakoumakis had indicated that the 20-year-old had suffered serious bullying at the school.
Meanwhile members of the force’s cyber crimes unit are said to have traced the suspected operators of a blog which had featured offensive and derogatory postings about the student.

--- Quote ---Spooks tell business: Consider stripping staff of smart phones to avoid cyber attacks
Advice issued by GCHQ and seen by The Telegraph warns firms that staff are the 'weakest link in the security chain' and could be blackmailed by enemy spies
Britain’s spies have told businesses to consider stripping employees of company smart phones and memory sticks to protect themselves from cyber-attacks, The Telegraph can disclose.
Advice issued by GCHQ, the government’s listening post, and other departments warns firms that staff are the “weakest link in the security chain” and protective action must be taken.
Companies have been told staff should only use trusted Wi-Fi networks – effectively ruling out using laptops in coffee shops like Starbucks without special protections – and constantly update internet browsers.

--- Quote ---West Midlands police to reduce number of officers on the beat
Britain’s second-biggest force to undergo radical changes such as move to ‘digital policing’, owing to budget cuts and rise in domestic and online crime
The move could prove politically sensitive but West Midlands chief constable Chris Sims says it is justified because a proportion of crime has moved off the streets and into the home and online.
The force is increasingly focused on a range of domestic crimes, such as the abuse of vulnerable people, internet fraud, domestic abuse, forced marriage and female genital mutilation as well as increasing its level of child protection.
“Now, threats and harms are not based on street-based issues. 50% of cases in Birmingham magistrates’ court are domestic abuse,” Sims said.
