An apartment on two floors

HEROIC police officers caught a rape victim who was forced to jump 30ft from a window to escape her two sex attackers. The 18-year-old had been beaten and raped by the two men aged 37 and 26 whilst a female accomplice, 19, took part in the sexual attacks.

The singer — real name Graham McPherson ­— originally chose Suggs as a graffiti nickname which he daubed all over North London. Now 60, he reveals in a new ­documentary: “Being in the band was like an extension of being in a gang — apart from the fact it wasn’t just us smashing up phone boxes and kicking traffic cones down the road together. “It was at a crossroads. A lot of those people we knew at that time did get into serious crime. “We were all a little bit involved in that sort of thing and graffiti was the first thing. Music was a … [Read more...] about Madness reveal their wild pasts and how the band saved them from a life of crime
