It's getting harder to come up with questions...:(

Police registered a murder charge against a group of 'unknown persons' - yet won't take any action even though they know where the group is, and won't go there to arrest them. Who was murdered and where?

John Allen Chau was murdered on North Sentinel Island in 2018, and his body was never recovered.

That's him. The island is one of the Andaman Islands and is inhabited by a primitive tribe that shuns modern civilisation. The Indian government view it as a no-go area in an attempt to protect the islanders, who are hostile towards any visitors - which is why the police won't, or can't, go there. Chau went in an attempt to convert the islanders to Christianity in 2018, but they responded by killing him with arrows and buried him on the beach.
Over to you.

Van der Poel fulfils Poulidor's dream by taking Tour yellow jersey

poulidor comes from St Leonard ( our local town).... . and van der Poel is a descendannt??

Yes that is it. Mathieu van der Poel, although Dutch, is the grandson of French hero Raymond Poulidor. Mûr-de-Bretagne Guerlédan was where yesterday's stage was won, and Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat was where Raymond Poulidor lived until his death a couple of years ago. Tour great Poulidor earned the nickname the 'eternal second', having finished second three times and third five times and remarkably never once wore the yellow jersey in 14 years of racing the event. All yours.

Ben Wallace and Nick Carter, along with the heads of the navy and air force are all in covid isolation after a war games meeting. For the next ten days the country will go to war remotely.
 
Picasso's "Head of a woman" , found in a Greek gorge 9 years after it was stolen by a builder. It was given to the Greek govt. after the war (?) by Picasso, to acknowledge their resistance to the Germans I think.
