OMG! Banker slices husband’s penis with knife. 

Found this bizarre story on PM News. A woman took a knife and sliced her husband’s penis during a fight at their home in Surulere. Read the report below…
The popular saying that hell has no fury than a woman scorned came to pass on Monday at the Surulere residence of a banker, Bimbo Ajetumobi Daniju and her gospel singer husband Olalekan Idowu Daniju when the woman allegedly took a knife and sliced her husband’s penis during a fight.
Bimbo, staff of a new generation bank in Lagos was said to have accused her husband of not taking care of her and their only child, Opeoluwa. The husband disagreed and while fighting, Bimbo allegedly seized her husband’s penis and sliced it with a knife. Bimbo denied using a knife but her fingernails to teach her husband a lesson on how not to treat a woman. The ugly incident happened on Monday at their Falolu Street, Surulere home.

The matter was reported to the police at Surulere station and the woman was arrested. In her statement to the police, Bimbo denied using a knife on her husband’s penis but her fingernails.
She was later released on bail when her husband insisted that he was not interested in pressing charges against her.
Trouble started on 16 December when the banker who is a staff of the Agege Motor Road branch of the bank, accused her husband who has just returned from the church, of failing to provide for the needs of the family and leaving her to do everything. She also accused him of being selfish and uncaring.
She reportedly shouted at Olalekan who was eating and when he didn’t answer, poured his plate of food on his head. She took a bucket found in the room and smashed it on his head. This resulted in fighting.

Their neighbours separated them and Olalekan went to his sister’s shop to seek refuge but not done yet Bimbo allegedly followed him there and threatened to stab him with a broken bottle.
Relatives and neighbours, it was gathered, intervened and pleaded with the couple to give peace a chance but the couple continued to live like a cat and mouse.
Madam Kehinde Daniju, sister of Olalekan told P.M.NEWS that when her brother ran to her for help, she had to call their mother and other relatives to settle the matter for them in the family house they lived.

She explained that Bimbo’s mother who also lived around the area came and told her daughter not to accept reconciliation until Olalekan got a job. She blamed the couple’s constant disagreement on Olalekan’s refusal to get a job.
When she was leaving she took along the couple’s only son, Opeoluwa Daniju.
This did not go down well with Olalekan who ordered his wife to go to her mother’s house and bring his son before 8 p.m. or there would be trouble.
It was said that Bimbo left the house before 8 p.m and returned 30 minutes later without Opeoluwa.
This resulted in another round of fighting during which neighbours and relatives intervened again to separate them.
Narrating his story, Olalekan said he woke her up on Sunday to ask what she would be wearing to the church so that he could iron it but she didn’t reply.
“ I picked up my son’s cloth, ironed it, bathed him, had my bath and left both of them at home and went to church. In between the service, I came home to check on them and I met her cooking, I even joked that thank God there’s something for them to eat.
“I went back to church and after the service I was I hungry I bought bread and beans to eat and as I got inside, my boy told me he also wanted to eat bread and I gave it to him.
When she learnt that I gave the boy bread, she said I didn’t bother to ask her where she got money to prepare the rice that she ate and she started calling me several unprintable names.
“I responded again and this time it was a huge mistake. She just came near me, carried the plate of beans and pour the food on my head. She held my tie shouting and cursing me at the same time. I managed to extricate myself from her grip and ran out. She nearly suffocated me with the tie. She pursued me and broke a plastic bucket on my head but I continued to run. She picked up a bottle, broke it and threatened to stab me with it. This is a woman that is about five month pregnant.
“I ran to my sister’s shop and tried to involve her but she stayed out of the matter because they all know that she is rude, stubborn and violent. There was a day she and her brothers came here with thugs from Ojuelegba they wanted to beat up everybody here. She has chased me on the street with all sort of dangerous things. I don’t really know what she wants to achieve with all this but that day, her mum came, my mum’s sister came also and they tried to resolve the whole thing.
“I saw my mum’s sister off and before I came back, my mother-in-law had taken my son away and I was like we are trying to solve one issue and you are trying to cause another problem. I told her that if by 8p.m. that evening my child is not back home, she would not find it funny.
“I said that to make her know that I was serious but she said that there’s nothing I can do. She left the house before 8p.m. and came back 30 minutes later without my son. She took her bath and went to sleep I went to my sister and told her I am going to my mother-in-law’s house to get my child but my family ask me not to go there. At that time, I was tired, confused and hungry. I picked up my laptop but while I was trying to watch a movie I fell asleep in the sitting room.
“She woke me up at about 2a.m.. I was in a pair of boxer shorts. She told me that it is either I kill her or she kills me and within seconds she had torn my shorts. This was not surprising anyway as she had torn many of my clothes in the past. She said ‘I am going to kill you this morning. You think I am joking’. The whole thing happened so fast I just felt her hand in holding my penis, and the next thing was blood flowing. I started shouting and crying for her to take me to the hospital.
“She said ‘hospital ke, that’s where you are going to die today’ and that was the last time I saw her. I don’t know how she left the house at that time of the night. She changed her clothes, took a big bag and left, only for us to see her two days later at the police station.
There and then, I decided I cannot continue living with her, she could just decide to put poison in my food and kill me one day.
“It’s only a person that’s alive that can explain anything. She could just poison me and cook up a story just like she did at the police station where she told the police officers that I woke her up at 2a.m. and started hitting her, almost beating her to death and the officers clapped for her for a lovely story. The officers asked how come I did all that and she had the strength to run away and she didn’t run to the hospital, that is, someone that was almost being beaten to death should go to the hospital and there was no doctor’s report. The person you injured brought his own medical report, we could see that the injury was bandaged.

“The officers told her that there’s no mark on her to signify being beaten, she replied that she didn’t go to any hospital because there was no mark on her she also claimed that she didn’t use any knife but that she used her fingernails to scratch my penis,” he said.
Efforts to speak with Bimbo at her mother’s home proved abortive as our reporter was prevented from talking to her

Girl, 15, arrested in connection with boy's murder in London

A 15-year-old girl has been arrested in connection with the murder of a teenage boy.
Joshua Folkes, 17, known to friends as Money J, was stabbed to death in the early hours of Tuesday morning outside a friend's home in Palmers Green, north London.
The girl was arrested in the Enfield area on Wednesday morning and is in custody at a north London police station.

Detective Chief Inspector Nicola Wall, leading the investigation for the homicide and major crime command, said: "We are appealing to the local community about the murder of a boy who was loved by his family.

"His death has left them devastated. We are appealing to Josh's friends and the community to come forward and help us find his killers.
"Someone out there must know who is responsible for this murder."
Close friends of the victim left tributes at the murder scene on Tuesday and spoke of their grief.
Azra Valentino, 18, said: "He wasn't meant to go like this. We're all just shocked. When I see this, I can't believe it really. I'm just shaken up. I don't know what to do.
"Josh was the last person who you'd think would be on the news for a death or something, he wasn't like that. He got caught up in it."

Another of Joshua's closest friends, who did not want to be named, laid a pair of trainers and a jumper he had owned among the cards and flowers left at the scene.
"I ain't feeling good at all," he said. "He was my best friend. He got stabbed. He lived with me here a little bit, he stayed with me here a couple of times."
The distraught friend described Joshua as "a good youth at heart" who loved music, particularly rapping.

"This made me realise what life is seriously really about," he said. "I lost someone close to me. He had a lot of friends around here. Josh has got a lot of friends, this is what people don't know."
The murder investigation was launched after Joshua was pronounced dead at the scene at 1.26am on Tuesday.

Man obsessed with violent pornography admits murder of Georgia Williams

Jamie Reynolds took photos of 17-year-old as she died and dumped her body in woodland after luring her to his house

A young shop worker obsessed with extreme and violent pornography may spend the rest of his life behind bars after he admitted murdering a 17-year-old girl and taking photographs of her as she died.
Jamie Reynolds lured Georgia Williams, the daughter of a police detective, to his home by asking her to pose for innocent photographs but used a ligature to kill her and took pictures of her final moments before dumping her body in woodland.

When police raided Reynolds's home in Wellington, Shropshire, they found a collection of the most explicit hardcore pornography including, it is understood, "snuff movies" said to show real people being killed.
Police also found Reynolds, 23, had created dozens of explicit composite images by superimposing the faces of innocent girls from pictures posted on social network sites on to hardcore pornographic material. The images of between 30 and 50 women had been corrupted in this way. In addition, officers found deeply disturbing fantasy stories of a sexual and violent nature written by the killer.
Reynolds was due to face trial at Stafford crown court on Monday but at the last moment changed his plea and admitted he had murdered Georgia, whose disappearance sparked a nationwide search in May.

  The judge, Mr Justice Wilkie, asked the prosecution and defence barristers to address the issue of whether Reynolds, who wore spectacles and a dark suit and tie, should face a full life term when he sentences him later this month. Only a few prisoners in the UK have been told they will never be released – including Mark Bridger, who was convicted of murdering the schoolgirl April Jones earlier this year.

David Crigman QC, prosecuting, has applied for the photographs of Georgia taken by Reynolds, the composite images he created, the extreme pornography he viewed and the stories he wrote to be viewed only by the judge and not shown in open court because they are considered so disturbing and distressing.

Though the court has not been told whether or not Georgia was sexually assaulted, police sources said there was no doubt Reynolds's motive was sexual. It is understood that he was reprimanded by police five years ago after becoming obsessed with another girl. Reynolds also came to the attention of the police about three years ago when he crashed into the car of a teenage girl after she rejected his advances.

The case is bound to reignite the debate over whether use of hardcore pornography leads to sexual violence, which has been high on the political agenda since it emerged that images of child sexual abuse were found on Bridger's computer. One other parallel between the two cases is that both collected images of girls from social network sites. It is understood that Reynolds did not have pictures of child sexual abuse.

A nationwide police hunt was launched after Georgia was reported missing having left her family home in Wellington on Sunday 26 May saying she was going to see friends. Georgia's father, the detective constable Steve Williams, tried to make – or actually did make – contact with Reynolds after his daughter's disappearance to ask him where she was.

Three days after she vanished, Reynolds was arrested at a budget hotel in Scotland. On Friday 31 May, Georgia's body was found in woodland near Wrexham, around 50 miles from her home.
Georgia's family released a statement following Reynolds's plea saying: "The pain we feel is as raw now as it was when our beautiful daughter was taken from us.
"We will never ever be able to make any sense of what happened or why it happened to a young woman as caring, kind and generous as our Georgia.

"Today's guilty plea gives us no satisfaction at all; we do not and will never understand the heartbreaking events of earlier this year that changed our lives forever."
At the time of her murder, they had described her as a "gorgeous tomboy" who had been keen to become a paramedic in the RAF. Georgia's father, her mother, Lynette, and sister, Scarlett, sat in the front row of what would have been the jury box had Reynolds faced trial as he pleaded guilty to murder.

Police confirmed Georgia was murdered at Reynolds's red-bricked family home in Avondale Road, Wellington, on the day she vanished. They believe her body was dumped across the border in Wales the next day before Reynolds fled to Scotland.

Superintendent Adrian McGee, one of the senior investigating officers, said: "The Williams family has been incredibly dignified and understanding and I cannot praise them highly enough."

Man who beheaded flatmate with cleaver is jailed for life

Sergio Marquez murder

A man with paranoid schizophrenia who beheaded a flatmate with a cleaver after he "disappeared" from the mental health care system has been jailed for life.

Karl Addo attacked Sergio Marquez in the flat they shared in Bournemouth, believing he was a member of a supernatural gang who wanted to torture and kill him.
He admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility and will be detained at Broadmoor high security hospital in Berkshire.

Nigel Pascoe QC told Bournemouth crown court that Addo, 30, had vanished from the Huntley mental health centre in London, where he was a voluntary patient, in October 2011. The following day a tribunal decided that he should be sectioned under the Mental Health Act but his whereabouts was not known.

Pascoe said that Addo "disappeared" from mental health services and moved to Bournemouth in May 2012. He killed Marquez, a 23-year-old Spanish student and waiter, on 17 July last year.
In between he had been ejected from a terminal at Heathrow airport and seen by police at Marylebone station in London, where he had been sleeping rough, Pascoe said.

Outside court, the victim's mother, Maria Marquez Torres, 43, said she was devastated and angry that Addo had been free to kill, saying: "I cannot understand how someone like this who was known to have such problems has not been dealt with properly. More should have been done to protect people from this man.

"If he was so ill, how has he been allowed to live in a rented apartment with other people? It was clear that it was only a matter of time before something like this happened and he killed someone.
"I want him put away for life. Whatever punishment he gets it will not be enough. To me he is the devil. Because of what he did my life no longer makes any sense – it has been ripped in two."
There have been a number of high-profile violent murders involving men with paranoid schizophrenia in recent months. In October John Ward, 23, was sentenced to life for stabbing two Big Issue sellers to death in Birmingham after voices in his head ordered him to: "kill everyone."
Ward's conviction came less than a fortnight after the case of schoolgirl Christine Edkins, who was stabbed to death on a bus in Birmingham by Phillip Simelane, who also had paranoid schizophrenia.
In both cases questions were raised about the care the killers had been receiving.
Bournemouth crown court was told that in the weeks leading up to the attack on Marquez, Addo had been acting strangely. He stole food from flatmates and used pages from books in the flat as toilet paper. He was behind with his rent and had been told to leave by his landlord.

The court was told that Marquez had tried to defend himself against Addo but was cornered. A neighbour heard Marquez crying out: "Please Karl, please Karl" and Addo laughing.
Pascoe described the attack as "prolonged, horrific and very violent". After he was killed, Addo decapitated and disembowelled his victim.

Marquez's headless body was found by other flatmates when they arrived for a birthday party. Addo fled covered in blood but was found nearby by police.

Man Impregnates His Grand Daughter
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Jigawa on Thursday arrested a 50-year old hunter for allegedly impregnating his 17-year old step granddaughter in Dutse.  The NSCDC Commandant, Mr Muhammad Gidado, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the suspect was arrested over alleged incest.

Gidado said that the suspect, married to the girl’s aunt, committed the offence at Warwade community in Dutse.
He said parents of the victim had filed a complaint against the suspect following his inability to settle medical bills at the clinic where she was delivered of her baby. Gidado said the girl had undergone Caesarean section and had been suffering from anaemia due to pregnancy related complications. He said the suspect had earlier accepted responsibility for the pregnancy when the family tried to settle the matter amicably but failed to take care of the needs of the mother and the new born baby.

“The girl’s parents decided to bury the matter within the family after the suspect accepted responsibility for the pregnancy but failed to settle the medical bills.

“The girl is receiving treatment at the General Hospital, Dutse, and her parents made a formal complaint to the command,” he said.
Gidado said the command has settled the medical bills because the parents could not afford to pay. The commandant said the suspect would be arraigned as soon as investigations into the case were completed.

Landlord Defiles Tenant’s 10- Yr Old Daughter

ajosePolice detectives from Igando Police Station in Lagos, southwest Nigeria, have arrested a 42-year old landlord for allegedly defiling a 10-year old daughter of his tenant.
P.M.NEWS learnt that the suspect, identified as Taiwo Bakare, who is also an electrician from Oyo State, lured the girl, (name withheld) to his parlour with sweet where he allegedly committed the act.

The incident occurred on 10 November at 45, Unity Road in Egan, Lagos, where Bakare allegedly fingered the girl, after giving her sweet.

He thereafter attempted to insert his manhood into the little girl’s private part when he was caught in the act.
Police sources at the station disclosed that nemesis caught up with the landlord when a tenant saw him and raised an alarm, which attracted other tenants. Police detectives were invited and they arrested the man and took him to their station.

Speaking with P.M.NEWS, the suspect, who claimed to be married and has four children, confessed that he has a high libido.
“My wife and children had all gone out when the devil took the better part of me and I had to lure the girl to my parlour in an attempt to have sex with her,” he confessed.

When P.M.NEWS went to Igando Police Station to speak with Ben Osuji, a Chief Superintendent of Police and DPO in charge of the division, he was said to have gone to Igando/Ikotun Local Government Area for a weekly security meeting.
A senior police officer at the station confirmed the incident and said the suspect will soon be charged to court.

CAIRO (Reuters) - Egyptian police fired teargas at protesting students at Cairo's al-Azhar university on Wednesday hours after authorities announced the detention of Muslim Brotherhood leader Essam El-Erian, part of a crackdown against the Islamist movement.

Erian, deputy leader of the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice party, was taken into custody from a residence in New Cairo, a suburb on the outskirts of the capital, where he had been in hiding, an interior ministry source told Reuters.
At the al-Azhar university's main campus, students smashed windows, hurled chairs and covered walls of an administrative building with graffiti.
"Sisi is a dog. Down, down with the lord of the army," one protester scribbled, referring to army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who led the overthrow of Islamist President Mohamed Mursi in July.
One police officer yelled: "Arrest anyone you see. Bring me those kids. If you see anyone just arrest them right away." Over 20 students were arrested, according to two security sources.
Students at Egypt's top institution for Islamic teachings have demonstrated for weeks in support of Mursi, who was toppled by the army after mass protests against his rule.

The deputy prime minister said in a statement that the government was committed to reconciliation. He accused the Brotherhood of undermining efforts to resolve political turmoil.
"Those who are until now rejecting or stalling any understandings aimed at achieving reconciliation and stability for the Egyptian people are the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood," Ziad Bahaa El-Din said.

Brotherhood officials, of whom many are either jailed or on the run, were not immediately available for comment.>>>
Many Brotherhood leaders have been detained since the overthrow of Mursi, Egypt's first freely elected president. He, Erian and 13 other Brotherhood leaders are expected to go on trial on Monday on charges of inciting violence.

The charges relate to the deaths of about a dozen people in clashes outside the presidential palace last December after Mursi enraged protesters with a decree expanding his powers.
The trial of three senior Muslim Brotherhood leaders on charges of inciting violence was halted on Tuesday after the judge withdrew from the case.
Although he did not spell out his reasons, in similar situations in the past judges have complained there was a lack of evidence, procedures were illegal or that the cases were politically motivated.
The trials are likely to create more upheaval in Egypt, the most populous Arab nation, which controls the Suez Canal, a vital global trade route.

TURMOIL
The Brotherhood, which demands Mursi's reinstatement, accuses the army of staging a coup that sabotaged democratic gains made since a popular uprising toppled autocrat Hosni Mubarak in 2011.
At least 1,000 people, including members of the security forces, were killed in the violence that followed Mursi's overthrow. Hundreds of his supporters died when police forces stormed two protest camps on August 14.
An Egyptian court in September banned the Muslim Brotherhood
and seized their funds to try to crush the movement, which the government accuses of inciting violence and terrorism.
The Brotherhood's discipline and hierarchy helped it win elections after the revolt that toppled Mubarak, eventually propelling Mursi into power.

Now the army-led government and its supporters regard the Brotherhood as a terrorist group and enemy of the state.
The Brotherhood says it is committed to peaceful protest.
Although it has said it will carry on with protests until the army-backed government falls, the demonstrations are smaller and shorter than ones staged when Mursi was first deposed.
Islamists appear to have adopted a policy of choosing sensitive sites like Al-Azhar to air their views instead of taking to the streets in big numbers.

Critics of the government - which has announced a road map leading to new elections - say it is becoming more authoritarian, stifling dissent and limiting freedom of speech.

Bikini-clad baristas arrested for serving more than coffee

Reuters
By Jonathan Kaminsky
OLYMPIA, Washington (Reuters) - Two female workers at a bikini-themed coffee stand near Seattle have been charged with providing customers nude, striptease-style dances in full view of passersby, authorities said on Thursday.
The women, aged 20 and 21, both employees at the Hillbilly Hotties coffee stand in Everett, were arrested on Wednesday and charged with violating the city's adult entertainment laws, said Everett police spokesman officer Aaron Snell.

A third woman worker at the stand, age 33, was arrested and charged with lewd conduct in connection with a case from June at a separate nearby coffee stand in which police said workers were alleged to have performed sex acts on customers. The nature of the accusation against her was not immediately clear.

All the charges are misdemeanors, which carry a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. Bail for each was set at $500.
Police began investigating the coffee stand after receiving complaints that the women working there were exposing themselves for customers as they sat in their cars, Snell said.
"It's right on the main drag and anybody walking by can pretty much see it," Snell said. "That's probably why we were getting complaints."

Snell said the business itself was not facing any charges. The stand's Facebook page declared it open for business shortly after the raid. Its owner, Jovanna Edge, was not immediately available for comment.

The same coffee stand was robbed at gunpoint last month by a 12-year-old boy who was on a bike and fled with about $15 from the tip jar.

8 copper syndicate members arrested

Johannesburg - A syndicate of copper thieves and a scrap dealer in cahoots with them have been arrested, KwaZulu-Natal police said on Saturday.
"An undercover operation was held and the team arrested an entire new criminal grouping consisting of eight men," Colonel Jay Naicker said.
He said the team - made up of crime intelligence officers and private investigators for Eskom and Transnet - also confiscated 500kg of contact wire stolen from Transnet in the Hibberdene area.
"A scrap metal dealer and his staff [six in total] were also arrested at their premises in Phoenix and KwaDukuza."
Police found a vehicle in the yard with 1400kg of copper that is thought to have been stolen.

The police operation began on Thursday and ended on Friday.
Those arrested will appear in the Hibberdene Magistrates Court on Monday.
"The investigation team is currently probing another thirty cases of theft of copper cable linked to this criminal grouping."
Naicker said, meanwhile, the case of a syndicate of 18 suspected copper thieves arrested last year was now on the court roll of the Pietermaritzburg Regional Court.
The Hawks were also busy identifying which scrap metal dealers had been linked to this 18-man syndicate.

Daughter of couple found buried in their back garden after vanishing 15 years ago arrested on suspicion of their murder

  • Susan Edwards and husband held three weeks after bodies were found
  • They were arrested at St Pancras Station in London on Wednesday night
  • William and Patricia Wycherly disappeared from their home in 1998
By Andy Dolan
The daughter of a couple whose bodies were found buried in their own back  garden has been arrested on suspicion of their murder.
Susan Edwards was detained along with her husband, Christopher, three weeks after police discovered the bones of her ‘reclusive’ parents, who had not been seen since the late 1990s.
Police officers began digging at the semi-detached home that formerly belonged to William and Patricia Wycherley after receiving a tip-off about an ‘incident’ at the house that had taken place up to 15 years ago.
Murder inquiry: The outside of the semi-detached house in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, where police three weeks ago found the remains of William and Patricia Wycherley buried in the back garden after a tip-off

Neighbours said Mr Wycherley, a former merchant sailor who would now be 100, and his wife, who would now be 79, ‘disappeared’ from the property in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, in the late 1990s.
Rumours later circulated locally and within their extended family that the couple had moved to either Ireland or to the Lancashire coast.
In a further twist to the strange case, some relatives have said they continued to receive Christmas cards apparently written and sent by the couple until as recently as two years 
Nottinghamshire Police are waiting for forensic tests to confirm that the remains are indeed those of Bill and Pat Wycherley, but detectives say they are confident the skeletons are theirs.
The Wycherleys moved into the cul-de-sac house in the suburb of Forest Town in 1987. It was sold in 2005 to a buy-to-let owner.
The great whodunnit of No.2 Blenheim Close: From the Mail, October 19
Police said at the time of the bodies’ discovery that neither the landlord nor the tenant was under any suspicion.
The force has not confirmed the identities of those under arrest.
A spokesman said only that a 55-year-old woman and a 57-year-old man were arrested at St Pancras International station in London on Wednesday night and taken into custody for questioning.
But sources told the Daily Mail that the people held were the Edwards couple, who had been living in a council flat in Dagenham, Essex, until last December.
Detectives had been keen to speak to Mrs Edwards and her husband since discovering the bodies, but it is thought that the couple had recently been staying abroad.

Detective Chief Inspector Rob Griffin appealed for anyone who knew the Wycherleys, or who lived in the Blenheim Close area of Forest Town between 1990 and 2005, to come forward with any relevant information.
He said: ‘Bones were discovered in a grave in the garden. People we have spoken to to date have described the Wycherleys as reclusive. They kept themselves to themselves and it didn’t appear they had many regular friends or associates.
‘We want to put together their lifestyles, their movements, and that will hopefully help us explain how they came to be where we recovered them from.
‘It appears they vanished. We conduct what are known as “proof of life” inquiries and we can’t find any evidence of them being alive. And at the same time we can’t find any evidence of them having died.
‘Neither William nor Patricia have ever been reported missing.’


 

Man jailed for UK mosque bombs, murder

London - A Ukrainian student was jailed for a minimum of 40 years by a British court on Friday for murdering a Muslim grandfather and planting bombs near three mosques as part of what police called a racist terror campaign.

Pavlo Lapshyn, 25, had pleaded guilty on Monday to stabbing 82-year-old Mohammed Saleem to death as he walked home from a mosque in the central English city of Birmingham in April.
Lapshyn, a postgraduate student from the eastern Ukrainian city of Dnipropetrovsk, also admitted plotting to cause explosions at mosques in three towns in central England.
No one was injured in the blasts in the towns of Walsall, Wolverhampton and Tipton in June and July.

Judge Nigel Sweeney, sitting at the Old Bailey in London, the central criminal court for England and Wales, sentenced Lapshyn to life in jail with a minimum term of 40 years on Friday.
"You clearly hold extremist right-wing, white supremacist views and you were motivated to commit the offences by religious and racial hatred in the hope that you would ignite racial conflict and cause Muslims to leave the area where you were living," the judge said.
"Such views, hatred and motivations have no place whatsoever in our multi-faith and multi-cultural society."

Police said they believed Lapshyn intended to set off further explosions as they found more bomb-making equipment in his room in Birmingham, where he was carrying out a work placement at a software company.

Bomber hated ‘non-whites’
After his arrest in July, Lapshyn told police he murdered father-of-seven Saleem because he hated "non-whites".
The third bomb he planted, in Tipton, was stuffed with shrapnel. The only reason it did not cause mass injuries was that prayers had been delayed by an hour that Friday.
Saleem's daughter Shazia Khan, who watched from the courtroom as Lapshyn was sentenced, described her father's killer as a "gutless coward".
 "The shock and sadness of the reality is impossible to accept," she said in a statement read by the judge to the court.
Lapshyn had only arrived in Britain a few days before the murder.
The mosque bombings took place at a time of high tension in Britain, following the brutal hacking to death of a soldier on a London street in May by attackers who said they were avenging the killing of Muslims by British troops in Afghanistan.
Several mosques were attacked by arsonists and vandals in the wake of the murder of soldier Lee Rigby.

Two Muslim converts are due to stand trial for his murder next month.

Yaba Magistrate’s Court Sends Nkese Iroakazi, Nurse Who Set Girl Ablaze To Kirikiri Prison

 Yaba Magistrate’s Court Sends Nkese Iroakazi, Nurse Who Set Girl Ablaze To Kirikiri Prison
The late Ita Bassey-Eno
Yaba Magistrate’s Court in Lagos, southwest Nigeria, has ordered that Mrs Nkese Iroakazi, the nurse who allegedly set an 11-year old girl ablaze last month, be remanded at Kirikiri Prison till October.
The little girl set ablaze, Ita Bassey-Eno, died at the Gbadaga General Hospital a week later as a result of the severe burns she suffered.
The nurse allegedly poured kerosene on her and lit a match stick and fire engulfed the girl.
Iroakazi was arrested and detained at the Bode Thomas Police Station after she allegedly set the little girl staying with her ablaze.
She was later transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID and detained until she was arraigned in court on Thursday.
The suspect was charged with the murder of Ita Bassey-Eno. She was not granted bail by the court when she was arraigned.
On 27 July, 2013, residents of Adeniran Ogunsanya Street, Surulere heard a little girl screaming and to their astonishment, they saw the girl on fire rushing out of her apartment  at 7 Adeniran Ogunsanya Street, Surulere, and crying for help.
The driver of a car quickly stopped and used his fire extinguisher to quench the fire buring all over the girl’s body, but by then, the damage had been done.
The girl was rushed to the Gbagada General Hospital where doctors battled unsuccessfully to save her life.
Iroakazi was alleged to have poured kerosene on Bassey-Eno before lighting a match stick to set her azlaze after the girl was said to have stolen a piece of meat from the pot.
Bassey-Eno, who hails from Akwa Ibom State, was brought from the village with another girl, Happiness Okon-Bassey, 13, to live with the woman in June 2013 on the promise that she would send them to school, but that was not to be as the two girls allegedly performed the function of domestic servants for their mistress.
The little girl was rushed to the Burns and Trauma Centre, an annex of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital in the General Hospital, Gbagada for urgent attention where the doctors said she had suffered 95 percent burns and would take a miracle for her to survive.
Executive Director, Esther Child Rights Foundation, ECRF, Mrs. Esther Ogwu, who was at the hospital to see the girl wept profusely when she saw her pathetic state, saying that in all her life as human rights activist, she had never come across such a gruesome case as the girl’s own.
Ogwu said the story that the stove in the kitchen fell and set the girl ablaze was unbelievable, alleging that all facts pointed to the woman to have allegedly poured kerosene on the girl and set her ablaze.
At the Bode Thomas Police Station, police sources alleged that the little girl confessed that her mistress poured kerosene on her and set her ablaze.
On 2 August, Bassey-Eno eventually died after she went through agonizing pins. The doctors could not save her life.

Dad who killed wife in front of children caught after step-daughter tells supermarket worker of horrific murder

Krysztof Kindzierski, 40, stabbed Zaneta Kindzierska, 32, during a 'ferocious' attack at their Manchester home
Locked up: Krysztof Kindzierski was arrested for murdering his wife after his step-daughter told a supermarket worker
Locked up: Krysztof Kindzierski was arrested for murdering his wife after his step-daughter told a supermarket worker
A man who killed his wife in front of his children was caught after the victim's teenage daughter told a supermarket worker of the murder.
Krysztof Kindzierski, 40, stabbed Zaneta Kindzierska, 32, in a 'ferocious' attack at the home they shared in Manchester.
The brutal attack happened in front of their two small children and his step-daughter Claudia, 15.           
Bare-chested and covered in blood, he stopped the teenager from leaving the house following the murder. He also took her mobile phone, and even throttled her.
Kindzierski then tried to clean up the mess and left the family home with the children.
But during a shopping trip to Asda, Claudia told a Polish speaking member of staff about the murder of her mum. Police were called and later discovered the body.
Kindzierski, described as his barrister has having been 'consumed by jealousy', has now been jailed for life with a minimum of 18 years and four months after admitting murder.
Sentencing, Judge Michael Henshell said the killing was done with considerable violence and happened within sight of the children.
“That scene, the events that they witnessed, must have been the most horrifying experience for them. The younger children will will also have to live with the knowledge throughout their lives that their mother wasn’t simply just killed, but she was killed by their father”, the judge added.
Manchester Crown Court heard that the day before her death the victim told 'violent and controlling' Kindzierski that she was going to leave him once and for all.
In response,  Kindzierski threatened to kill Zaneta and her teenage daughter from a previous relationship, Claudia.
But the court heard Zaneta did not take him seriously, because it was a 'threat that was regularly issued'. Hours later neighbours heard screams coming from the property.
The family originated from Lubartow, a small town in eastern Poland, and settled in the UK in 2011 after convicted mugger Kindzierski served three-and-half years for robbery in his native country.
In the weeks before her tragic death, Zaneta had told him she had met someone else and wanted to start a new life in Holland. Kindzierski refused to let her out alone, limited her use of the internet, and hacked into her Facebook page.
After their final argument, Kindzierski attacked Zaneta with an 8ins blade in the bedroom, before dragging her into the bathroom.
Claudia tried to run to her aid, but Kindzierski shut the door, and the mother urged her to flee as she fought for her life in the early hours of June 18.
Zaneta's younger children,and Nicola, 6 and Fabian, 3,  saw their father covered in blood and heard their mother's cries.
Claudia later told police she saw 'lots of blood on the walls and the door', and glimpsed her mother lying on the floor jerking.
Andrew Scott, defending, said the crime was committed in a jealous rage, against the backdrop of a dysfunctional relationship and Kindzierski's fear of losing his family.
