At that time, police were called by the distraught loved one of a woman buried within the Mus- lim section of the cemetery. Of cers attended and found up to 10 graves had been dam- aged, and as no other graves other than those in the Muslim section had been targeted, po- lice are treating the vandalism as racially motivated. Wooden grave markers and headstones were uprooted from four adjoining graves, one of which had a brass plaque ripped from the headstone itself. A further two large oral tributes on other graves were smashed, trampled on and the owers scattered across the other, while owers on up to four other graves were also kicked over. There was also some evi- dence to suggest someone had walked directly over a recent grave. Police are now appealing to anyone who has information about the vandalism to come forward. Police Sergeant Jon Martin said: “The exact motive for this heinous and senseless vandalism is unclear, but given that only the Muslim section of the cemetery was targeted it has to be treated as being racially motivated. “That makes this vandalism even more sickening, as the cul- prits have singled out the rest- ing places of those who have lost their lives purely because of their religion. This is not just wanton racism but the deliberate, calcu- lating and cruel act of desecrat- ing the memories of Muslims who are buried at the cemetery. “The distress this has caused to the families who have loved ones buried here is immeasur- able. It is not just the vandalism itself, which can be repaired, but the thought of someone trashing what should be a place of sanc- tity and tranquillity for those who have lost their lives purely because of their religion. “We need to nd the culprits, who may very well live the local area, so I am appealing to the community for help in identify- ing them. If you suspect who may be involved then please call us. “I would also ask people to search their consciences and if you know who is responsible, do the right thing and call us. How would you feel if it was your loved one’s grave that was vandalised in this way? Think of the anguish you would feel and imagine how the victims are feeling right now. So please, if you do know any- thing then call us.” Anyone with information is asked to call police on 0161 856 68814, 0161 856 8915 or the inde- pendent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111. M ore than 2,200 students from secondary schools in Rochdale are celebrat- ed their hard work, as provisional GCSE results suggested they are improving at a faster rate than the national average. Provisional gures suggested that the number of Rochdale stu- dents achieving ve A*-C grades including English and Mathemat- ics rose to 56.8% this year, up by 1.6% compared to 2013, more than double the provisional national growth rate of 0.7%. More than a thousand Rochdale students achieved at least two Sci- ence GCSEs at A*-C, and more than 750 students achieved A*-C in at least one Modern Foreign Lan- guage, an increase of 7% from last year. In addition, more than 300 students achieved the English Bac- calaureate. Councillor Donna Martin, Cabi- net Member for Children’s Servic- es, said: “This year’s GCSE results are a testament to the dedica- tion and hard work of Rochdale’s young people. Rochdale’s 2014 GCSE students can be justi ably proud of their achievements, and the borough is proud of them. We also remain committed to raising standards and expectations for all our young people, and this year’s results show progress towards achieving this.” A keen amateur boxer delivered a knockout perfor- mance as Black- burn College celebrated another record year of A Levels success. Junaid Asghar, from Little Harwood, landed a prized place at Lancaster University, where he will study a degree in psychol- ogy, after he was one of the College’s standout per- formers on A Level results day. The 19-year-old, who is a member of Blackburn with Darwen Amateur Boxing Club, achieved A*, A, B and C grades in psychology, Business Studies, Sociol- ogy and Biology. “I love boxing but what I really want to do is work in marketing so this is a big step towards that goal,” said Junaid. “Studying for A Levels was tough but after a lot of hard work and support I’m really pleased with my results and looking forward to studying psychology at Uni.” Ibrahim Bharucha, 18, from Blackburn, was thrilled after nding out he had achieved an A* in So- ciology, A in Biology and B in Chemistry, securing his place at UCLan to study Pharmacy. Maarya Islam, 19, from Blackburn, achieved a Tri- ple Distinction * in her Lev- el Three Extended Diploma in Applied Science and a C in her A level in Fine Art. She will be going to Man- chester Metropolitan Uni- versity to study Biology and Chemistry. Blackburn College Stu- dents achieved a 100% pass rate across 26 A level subjects. The highest per- forming courses included Law, Accounting, Chemis- try, Biology, Maths, Eng- lish Literature and Busi- ness. Vocational courses also produced top results – with over 100 courses achieving 100%, and the highest num- ber of triple distinctions to date, equivalent to 3 As at A level. Principal and Chief Ex- ecutive Dr Thomas Moore was delighted with the re- sults. “Special thanks must be given to the college’s excel- lent team of academic staff for their continued com- mitment to outstanding teaching and learning,” he said. “Students consistently tell us that the academic support and guidance re- ceived from their teachers and support staff is a key reason for their high level of success.” Students can also choose to continue their studies to degree level at University Centre at Blackburn Col- lege, where one in ve stu- dents achieve a rst class honours degree.
