A THREE-YEAR-OLD girl is recovering in a hospital after her grandfather was found allegedly choking her during an exorcism.

Police officers responding to a report of an exorcism on a young girl found her grandfather choking her and used stun guns to subdue the man, who later died.

Two news helicopters covering a police chase on live television collided and crashed to the ground, killing all four people on board in a plunge that viewers saw as a jumble of spinning, broken images.
