A mistake at the worst possible time.
BBC Radio Coventry & Warwickshire mistakenly played sound effects of dogs howling and a woman screaming over a news report on the Oscar Pistorius trial earlier this week.
A BBC spokesperson said: "There was a technical mistake where sound effects being prepared in another studio for an unrelated item were accidentally broadcast over the news bulletin. We apologised for the error immediately afterwards."
