by duncanr

Iraqi born Shaima Alawadi, a 32-year-old mother of five who emigrated to the USA 20 years ago, was taken off life-support yesterday

She had been on life-support since her daughter found her battered body at their home in southern california on Wednesday night

One possibility police are considering, following the discovery of a note by her body that read

go back to your own country. You’re a terrorist.

is that Shaima Alawadi was the victim of a ‘hate’ crime

Sgt Robert Bales : I know Nothing

by duncanr

Let’s stop all this pussyfooting around with talk of Sgt Bales ‘allegedly‘ murdering 16 Afghan civilians – men, women, and children – in their beds

The Bastard slaughtered these people

He conveniently has amnesia for the period covering the killings

Since he was whisked away from Afghanistan and back to the USA, there have been a barrage of reports designed to evoke sympathy for Bales – he has been portrayed as an all-american good family guy, wouldn’t hurt a fly. Yeah, right – this is the guy who defrauded a couple of their life savings before he joined the US Army and was ordered to pay $1.5 million in restitution (he has not repaid a single penny). This is the same guy ordered to attend anger management class after various violent scuffles with the law. Then there was a ‘hit and run’ incident

We’ve heard about his . . .

Council Employees Murder Frosty

by duncanr

Dead Snowmen

Like butterflies, snowmen have but a brief existence.

They spring to life as soon as snow falls, bringing pleasure to their creators and those who view them.

Not all are pleased to see snowmen, however. Two cold-hearted employees of Hounslow Council stand accused of murder after they were spotted attacking snowmen built by children at Homefield Recreation grounds. One of the employees used a saw to dismember the defenseless snowmen whilst the other was observed ‘sticking the boot in’

The Council has since apologised for the actions of the dastardly duo and moved them to ‘non-snowman’ duties elsewhere

OWS, Libya, Syria

by duncanr

While I support the OWS protest movement and abhor the violent police response in some incidences, let’s keep a bit of perspective, shall we?

O.K. pepper spraying protestors isn’t ‘nice’ but it pales into insignificance when compared to what is happening to civilians in Syria !!!

P.S. Why am I not hearing Obama, Cameron, and Sarkozy pushing for international intervention to protect civilians in Syria? Are their lives less worthy of protecting than were the civilians in Libya?

10% of US Managers Murdered

by duncanr

It’s a worrying statistic – particularly if you are in a managerial position in the USA – 1 in 10 managers in the USA who died during 2010, were murdered

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, of the 4,547 workplace deaths of managers in 2010, 10% was a direct result of homicide.

If you’re a manager in the USA, seems you’d better start watching your back !!!

Hope for Shrien Dewani ?

by duncanr

So at long last, a judge has ruled that Shrien Dewani should be extradited to South Africa to face charges relating to the death of his wife Anni during their honeymoon in that country.

Now, unless Home Secretary, Theresa May, intervenes or Shrien’s defence team launch . . .

Shrien Dewani : Glimmer of Hope

by duncanr

Mziwamadoda Qwabe, one of the men accused by South African police of killing Anni Dewani has claimed her death was not meant to happen. What was intended was a simple carjack and robbery

Source . . . http://tinyurl.com/69dzwus

Truth or not – it is self-evidently in Qwabe’s interest to seek to minimise the severity of the crime he has committed – his statement will be welcome news to Max Clifford and Shrien Dewani’s defense team who are fighting his extradition to S.A. to face the charge of complicity in his wife’s death

Butter Wouldn’t Melt in his Mouth : Murder

by duncanr

Rosaria Nicosia and her lover, Gaetano Biundo, have been arrested and charged with the murder of her ex-husband, Calogero Lo Coco.

It is alleged that they killed Calogero by suffocating him with a slab of butter, hoping it would melt in his mouth and there would be nothing then to incriminate them.

However, police became suspicious when an autopsy found oily traces in Calogero’s throat

Shrien Dewani : 2nd Murder Investigation

by duncanr

Shrien Dewani has been accused of complicity in the murder of his wife, Anni, by the driver who drove the taxi that fateful night.

There are grounds for believing this to be the case. However, a stumbling block for many is the credibility of the idea a man in Shrien’s position would approach a complete stranger (taxi driver) to arrange a murder on his behalf – running the risk that the driver might refuse and inform Anni (or the police) of his intent.

The taxi driver claimed he got the impression this was not the 1st time Shrien had planned a murder in South Africa.

Now a British Newspaper is reporting that the South African police are . . .

I Spy with my little eye

by duncanr

nothing untoward ?

Hhmmm, not so eagle-eyed cops have been criticized by Mid-Kent and Medway coroner, Roger Sykes, at an inquest into the death of 68 yr old Antoine Denis who was found dead in his flat in Chatham, Kent

Police initially saw nothing suspicious in the manner of his death until the undertakers came to remove the body and asked about the 5” knife stuck in the corpse’s back. And the pool of blood on the bed

Hhmm, probably wanted to avoid all the extra paperwork a murder calls for ?
