Carjack victim thrown on ground A woman was pulled out of her car and thrown on to the ground during a carjacking in Southampton. The 46-year-old was getting into her Audi TT, parked in Windermere Avenue, Millbrook, when she was approached by a man on Thursday. He threw the woman on the ground and she had to quickly move her legs away from the car before the man sped off. The vehicle was fitted with a tracking device and was later found abandoned in Chilworth Drove. The victim was left "extremely shaken" by the ordeal but otherwise unhurt, police said. The suspect was described as white, about 16-20 years old, about 6ft, of slim build and was wearing dark polo shirt with red horizontal stripes and a dark baseball cap. Pc Simon Bembridge, of Hampshire Police, said: "This was a terrifying experience which left the victim understandably shaken and upset. "While she was on the floor she had to quickly move her legs out of the way of the car because she thought she was going to be run over by this man as he drove off." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/hampshire/8168678.stm |

Burglary forces emergency birth Police are appealing for anyone with information on the attack to come forward A 35-year-old heavily pregnant woman has had to have an emergency Caesarean after burglars attacked her in her bed. Nerys Price, 35, from Prestatyn, who received serious head injuries from a blow with a blunt instrument, is being treated at Walton Hospital, Liverpool. Her daughter, Freya, was delivered early as doctors feared the trauma could affect her. She is doing well. Her partner Simon Morris was hit in the back as he tried to defend her during the raid early on Friday morning. The burglars escaped without taking anything. Ms Price, who holds a senior position with a building firm, lives with Mr Morris in the town's Calthorpe Drive. Her condition is said to be improving and she is due to be transferred to Ysbyty Glan Clwyd in Bodelwyddan for surgery. She had two weeks of her pregnancy remaining, the Daily Post said. Incidents of this nature are very rare in north Wales Det Insp Graham Talbot Mr Morris's parents told the Daily Post they believed the thieves may have been targeting their son's car.

Page last updated at 15:27 GMT, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 16:27 UK Baby died 'at hands of boyfriend' An 11-month-old girl died as a result of an injury inflicted by her mother's boyfriend, a court heard. The 17-year-old struck baby Ruby Spink, who died from a severe blunt force injury to the head in September 2007, prosecutors told Norwich Crown Court. The youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons, denies murder. Laura Spink, 18, of Salisbury Road, Great Yarmouth, who denied causing or allowing her daughter's death, had earlier admitted cruelty, jurors heard. Ruby died in hospital on 17 September. A post-mortem examination revealed she died form head injuries. The only person in that room with Ruby at the time was the youth Christopher Morgan, prosecutor Christopher Morgan, prosecuting, told the court that Ms Spink, who was pregnant with her boyfriend's baby at the time Ruby died, had admitted wilfully neglecting Ruby, causing her unnecessary suffering. Mr Morgan said Ms Spink had earlier denied causing or allowing the death of her baby by failing to take steps to protect her, and the offence would remain on file. "The Crown say that injury must have been caused by a direct blow to the head or by the head coming into contact with something with an unyielding surface," Mr Morgan told jurors. "The only person in that room with Ruby at the time was the youth." An explanation was given by the defendant that Ruby had choked on chocolate cake, he said. Ruby was found to have significant fractures of her ribs and legs which were in the process of healing and occurred 21 days before her death, Mr Morgan told the court. He added that there was so much concern about Ruby's welfare that on 10 September there was a child protection conference, to which the youth was invited, but did not attend. As a consequence, a written agreement was signed by Ms Spink saying she would be the sole carer of Ruby. "This condition was ignored on the 16 September," Mr Morgan added. The trial continues. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/norfolk/7448607.stm |

Rapist jailed over murder bid The attack took place in Dundee in March A convicted rapist who condemned a woman to "a living death" with a "brutal and unwarranted" attack has been jailed for 12 years. George Cameron repeatedly punched and kicked his victim and locked his arm around her neck before throwing her down some stairs. The groaning woman was found badly injured by late night revellers and was not expected to survive. The 23-year-old mother-of-one suffered brain damage and now cannot speak or feed herself and is in "a highly vegetative state", the High Court in Edinburgh heard. Cameron was sentenced at the High Court Lord Dawson told Cameron: "This was a brutal, unwarranted attack on a young woman. "Having attacked her, you left her for dead and that is, to all intents and purposes, what she is." Cameron, who was described as a vagrant who has never held down a job, admitted attempting to murder his victim on 7 March this year at Foundry Lane, in Dundee, by assaulting her to her severe injury, permanent impairment and disfigurement. He was also originally charged with raping his victim, but the Crown accepted that allegation should be deleted. Anger problems Cameron, 23, was released months earlier from a six-year sentence for rape imposed by an English court in 1998. The registered sex offender has also served a five-year term for causing death by dangerous driving. He was described as having an anti-social personality disorder and anger problems. He was first expelled from school at the age of 11 for assault. Elish Angiolini said the victim's prospects were poor Solicitor General Elish Angiolini QC said Cameron's latest crime bore "a fairly sinister similarity" to his earlier rape attack. The court heard that Cameron had been on a drink and drugs binge in the days proceeding the assault in Dundee. The victim, who was described as a "fairly vulnerable" person, had gone out on the evening of the attack to seek business as a prostitute. Cameron visited a pub and a nightclub and was captured on city centre CCTV walking towards the area of Foundry Lane. He was seen to meet up with the woman and head into the lane. Patrons from a nightclub later found her lying at the bottom of stairs after being alerted by her groaning. 'Dangerous man' The solicitor general said: "At that point she was not expected to survive. Police believed they were dealing with a homicide." The victim was bleeding heavily and had a fractured skull, nose and cheekbone and suffered a brain injury. She was also showing signs of asphyxiation and had sustained hypothermia. Surgeons operated immediately on her to relieve pressure in her skull and to help her breathe more easily. She has shown very little improvement in her condition since the murder bid. The solicitor general said: "The prognosis could be described as grim." Mrs Angiolini said the actual details of the attack on the victim may never be known. When Cameron was detained by police he told them: "I will take what I deserve." Defence counsel Edgar Prais QC said: "There is no doubt that this is an awful assault with terrible consequences." Mr Prais added: "This is an awful tragedy. He is clearly a dangerous man and his victim, to all intents and purposes, has lost her life."

Friday, 8 March, 2002, 15:30 GMT Man dies after street shooting Police comb the street for clues A murder investigation is under way after a man was shot dead in a quiet cul-de-sac on the south side of Glasgow. Justin McAlroy was hit several times as he got out of his car in Acacia Way, Cambuslang, at 2200 GMT on Thursday. The 30-year-old victim was taken to Glasgow's Victoria Infirmary but doctors were unable to revive him. One line being pursued by police is that the killing was drugs-related. Justin McAlroy could not be revived Police have appealed for witnesses and particularly want to speak to anyone who saw a man wearing a woollen hat who was spotted running away from the area after the attack. Neighbours have spoken of their shock at the incident. Karen Wilson said she had been talking about moving house in the aftermath of the shooting. "It's not something you want at all," she went on. "You don't expect it anywhere near you. "You think you're in a nice area then this kind of thing happens." A post-mortem examination on the dead man was being carried out on Friday. BBC Scotland's Aileen Clarke reports "Neighbours are finding it hard to believe that a shooting could happen here" http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/1861477.stm |

Gary Anderson said it was shocking to be attacked when they were out helping the public on an emergency call-out. Scottish Water has said it would reconsider how it responded to out-of-hours water supply problems following the incident. Scottish Water's Paul Maxwell, said it was a "despicable" attack. Mr Anderson and colleague Robert Galt fended off the two machete-wielding men while working in the town's Southfield Avenue at 2120 BST. As the attackers hacked into the van door and broke the window with an 18-inch blade, the pair fought them off with a large valve key. Gary Anderson added: "As I was approaching my van, two youths came up and started using threatening and abusive language. "When I was stepping into the van, one of them took a swipe at me with the blade and the glass came down on top of me - it was frightening. "When you're out trying to help the public and this kind of thing happens, it's shocking." 'Territorial thing' He said his colleague arrived at that point and used the valve to put some distance between the workers and the attackers. "I don't understand why they did it - I think it was a kind of territorial thing - they were saying 'You're in the Port now'," he said. "They were throwing half bricks at us as we tried to get into the van and they were attacking it with machetes - the whole incident lasted about 10 or 15 minutes." Paul Maxwell, Scottish Water's regional manager for Inverclyde, said: "It is unacceptable that our staff should have encountered such an attack as they completed work to maintain water supplies to the town. "We will now need to consider how best to respond to such out-of-hours interruptions to the water supply in future." Mr Anderson called for work to be carried in well-known "blackspots" during conventional working hours to protect the safety of staff. Strathclyde Police said inquiries were ongoing. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/glasgow_and_west/7350226.stm nie pize Page last updated at 07:53 GMT, Wednesday, 16 April 2008 08:53 UK Arrest follows sex attack on girl North Wales Police have arrested a 22-year-old man from south Anglesey in connection with a sexual assault on a teenage girl.
