The husband John Darwin is already free and living on benefits in Co.Durham, while wife Ann will leave prison in a couple of weeks.

But the Daily Mail reports that British authorities charged with reclaiming the couples assets in order to repay the insurance company, have recovered just £157,000 of the estimated £680,000 paid out in insurance and pension benefits.

The three year search for assets has been stymied by banking laws in Panama, the city that they chose to start a new life with their ill gotten gains. It has also found that a mystery company was set up by the Darwin’s in a bid to avoid much of the money being traced.

The couple were obviously attracted to Panama not just for its climate, but moreover for its popularity as one of the worlds most popular tax havens where foreigners with big bank balances can deposit their cash safely and secretly with absolute anonymity.

Abiding by their own set of rules the authorities in Panama have offered little if any help in securing the assets of the Darwins and the British CPS has already failed in a bid to confiscate a plot of land bought by the Darwins and now worth around £232,000.

They have also failed in their attempts at confiscating the couples apartment home in El Dorado which has a value in excess of £62,000.

And they have had absolutely no luck with the Panama branch of HSBC, where the couple allegedly have a sum £144,000 across three separate accounts.

It seems that no legal action by Britain can begin to retreive the money or assets in Panama if there are no Panamanian victims.

The detective who led the initial inquiry into the Darwin’s double life has suggested that no-one will ever know exactly how much money or property the couple have in Panama and adds that if the British authorities are unable to retrieve the assets before the Darwin’s are released, they could easily get their thieving hands on it again.

Thomas was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to a paltry seven years in prison by a judge at the Old Bailey this week, but considering the time that she has already spent in custody she is likely to be free again within 3 years.

When sentencing killer Thomas and her two thuggish friends, Judge Richard Hawkins said:

“This is a case of mindless drink fuelled violence committed in public, in front of many people, with consequences which were catastrophic for Ian Baynham and his family and friends. A precious life has been lost and no sentence I can pass will affect that.”

CCTV evidence that has previously been shown on TV showed the killers entering a lift where Thomas giggled and danced while accomplice Rachel Burke  adjusted her make up.

In mitigation the court had heard how Thomas’ father had been convicted of manslaughter himself in 2003, after stabbing a taxi driver.

Her mother said that Thomas’s childhood had been characterised by abuse and hardship at the hands of her violent and alcoholic father.

This style of attack on our streets is becoming all too familiar and it is doubtful that a short prison sentence will have any effect on these violent drunken thugs. They are after all getting away with murder and deserve to be locked away for life.

Kristina Davies, 20, and Ricky Winter, 23 were found guilty at Canterbury Crown Court last month despite both denying eight counts of child neglect.

The boys, both under the age of 4-years, were left with fractures, bruising and bite marks to their genitals when the couple looked after them in 2009.

A paediatrician said that this was the worst case he had witnessed in 30 years when he was called as an expert witness and yet these two skum were jailed for just two years!

These little lads were also forced to stand in the corner with their hands on their heads for hours and were constantly screamed at by the two thugs.  They were made to cry on demand, sworn at and forced to kiss the feet for the amusement of the evil bast**ds.

The abusers attempted to put the injuries down to the children play-fighting or falling off their beds but this was dismissed as the cause of the catalogue of injuries.

The elder child had multiple bruising to 14 separate parts of his body, facial bruising, an ear injury, a minimum of two adult bite marks to his buttocks, an injury to his chin, back and penis.

The younger child had also suffered multiple injuries including and eye injury, an ear injury, bruising to his penis and bite marks on his buttocks as well as a fractured collarbone.

The couple had been asked to look after the boys at short notice but during the 10 days that the boys were in the care of the skum they has suffered a series of assaults.

These two little boys will probably suffer the consequences of these events for the rest of their lives, they should never have been left with these people for any amount of time, but two years, what a joke!

PC David Rathband, 42, was sat in his police car when Moat approached his vehicle, stared at him and then shot him in the face and shoulder at close range.  The wounded policeman played dead until Moat had gone before pressing the panic button on his police radio.  The brave father of two has now been told that he has lost the sight in both eyes but is determined to carry-on his work with the police force.

A 21-year-old single mother from Burnley even decided to set-up a Facebook page in tribute to the murderer after thinking it was funny that he had managed to avoid capture from the police.  The page which attracted more than 38,000 members has since been shut down but another is already up and running after being set up by another supporter.

A shrine at the site where the killer eventually died has also now been cleared by angry neighbours who agree that Moat should not be hailed a legend after his despicable actions.

The former girlfriend of Moat is now under police protection in the hospital where she is recoverying from her injuries after threats to run her out of town.

What is wrong with society today, this man was a violent thug and deserved everything he got, the only downside as far as I can see is that he did not shoot himself before he shot those three other people!

Barry Sinfield, 36, picked on the defenceless bird after drinking at least 20 cans of strong lager with a friend at the Swanswell Park in Coventry in October.  The sadistic yob grabbed the goose which was struggling to get away from him as he threw the bird into the air before battering it against the ground.  As the goose flapped its wings around in desperation to escape, Sinfield stamped on its neck.  While the bird clung to life, the evil torturer moved his foot along it’s neck before ripping its head off and chasing his friend around with his trophy and laughing.

Sinfield also pointed the head towards many of the visitors to the park where he threatened to smear them with the birds blood.

As well as the trauma it caused to the children playing in the park, a vet stated that the bird would have suffered severe pain before it eventually died.

In court Sinfield’s actions were described as one of the worst cases of deliberate cruelty ever seen and that no justification should be given whether he was drinking alcohol or not.

Sinfield was seen laughing with friends outside the court before the hearing and has shown no remorse since the incident took place.

No point in sending him to jail, send him to the front line in Afghanistan and let’s see how big a man he is then!

Death

Collette Harris, 30, from Dartford in Kent was today sentenced 16 years in prison for the brutal murder of her 21-month-old son Bobby Louch.

Little Bobby had more than 80 injuries to his little body and head along with burns to his hand when he died just 4-days before Christmas 2008.

He had suffered fatal brain and abdomen injuries that were described as usually only seen after a car accident.  He had extensive bleeding in his skull and spine and severe damage to his internal organs after either being kicked or punched in the stomach.

The Old Bailey heard that the majority of the injuries had been received leading up to the 48 hours before this little lads death.

His evil mother denied killing or deliberately injuring her son and was said to have collapsed and screamed after the jury found her guilty of the crime.

Harris had been living with her new boyfriend James Phillips, 25, from Erith in Kent and the couple blamed each other for the child’s suffering but Phillips was found not guilty of murder, manslaughter and causing or allowing the death at the hearing.

The child’s natural father Dan Louch, had spent the time leading up to Christmas with his son but had seen no evidence of any abuse but within two-days of returning to his mothers home the child was spotted with bruising, with his mother refusing to take him to hospital in case it was believed that she had been beating him, the following day Bobby died.

Just three weeks before the toddlers death he had been treated at the Darent Valley Hospital in Dartford, Kent, after suffering a fractured ankle.  Bobby was kept in for observation and a scan as he also had bruising to his forehead but the injury was considered to have been caused by accident and he was released with his leg in plaster the following day.

This woman should have been given the death penalty for what she did to this child, prison is the easy option not a punishment.  No doubt she will be released with a whole new identity and can get on with the rest of her life, what life did this little boy have apart from suffering and abuse.  RIP Little Bobby and ROT IN HELL COLLETTE HARRIS,  I hope you one day get what you deserve.

Death Penalty

A teenage thug, Ruby Thomas, 18, kicked an unconscious gay man repeatedly resulting in the 62-year-old’s death in September 2009, denies violent disorder.

Ian Baynham, from Beckenham, South-East London, was walking through Trafalgar Square with a friend when Thomas allegedly began shouting homophobic abuse at the pair.  Accompanied by two friends, the thug attacked the man after he went over to talk to her.

Mr Baynham suffered severe brain damage after being punched and kicked to the ground and died 18 days after the attack.

One witness stated that he had met up with Thomas and Rachel Burke, 18, along with other youngsters on the night of the attack and that both girls appeared to be quite drunk.  He said that the trouble started when Thomas kicked Mr Baynham quite hard in the leg and when he moved she went onto kick his friend in the groin causing Mr Baynham to grab hold of her by the hair and slap her sending her falling to the floor.

It was then that a fellow male thug of Thomas’s named as Joel Alexander, 19, punched Mr Baynham in the face, knocking him to the ground, where he began to make strange ’snoring’ noises.  Thomas then was claimed to have stamped quite hard on Mr Baynham’s stomach twice while he appeared to be unconscious.  The witness added;

“She walked around to the right side of him and kicked him in the right side of the head, twice.  She was swearing,”

The witness then said that there was quite a bit of blood coming from the victims ear, nose and mouth.

This evil thug supposedly emailed the witness the next day claiming that she couldn’t remember what had happened!

The case is continuing but after other people witnessed the attack and the outrage this crime has caused I hope she gets exactly what’s coming to her.  RIP Ian Baynham.

The evil thug had previously threatened and harassed the young woman who had then reported the incidents to the police but was told no action could be taken.

The jealous lover had been asked to marry Movahedi a number of times previously but she had refused and he then went on to threaten to kill her.

While Bahrami, who was an electronics graduate at the time of the attack, sensed that she was being followed and quickened her pace only for Movahedi to catch up and step in front of her where he then threw the acid at her face.

The evil man claimed that he decided to attack her when she told him she had married someone else and asked him to leave her alone.

Movahedi told the court,

“I decided to splash acid on her face so her husband would leave her and I could have her.”

When asked if he would still be prepared to marry Bahrami, despite her injuries, he replied,

“Yes, I love her”

This poor woman has so far undergone seventeen operations in an unsuccessful attempt to reconstruct her face.  She lost one eye and is totally blind in the other.

When testifying at the hearing, she told the court that she wanted,

“to inflict the same life on him that he inflicted on me”

She was asked if she wanted Movahedi’s face splashed with acid, she replied,

“That is impossible and horrific.  Just drop 20 drops of acid in his eyes so he can realise the pain i am undergoing”.

Under Iran’s sharia law (an eye for an eye), Movahedi, has now been sentenced to the punishment, he will be blinded in both eyes from drops of acid.

Maybe if the same punishment’s were handed out to other mindless thugs around the UK, they would think twice about the pain and destruction caused.

In fact, Tehran’s deputy public prosecutor, Mahmoud Salarkia, stated that,

“Awareness of the punishment has a huge deterrent effect in stopping social crimes”.

Police

Having read stories in the past about speed crazed car drivers and mad motorcyclists being charged by UK police after posting their exploits on video sharing sites such as YouTube, I should not really be surprised to read how Police in Somerset used the same method to nab a young man who has been posting pictures of the cannabis plant he has been growing at home.

PC Adrian Peck explained that the man had in fact offered documentary evidence by posting his ‘horticultural endeavours’ on YouTube over several months “Providing us with fairly conclusive evidence.”   The officer was chuffed to bits that the culprit was foolish enough to advertise his criminal activities on the internet and had even used his real name to do so, making it easier to make an arrest.

The man was cautioned for the offence and the offending plant was destroyed along with growing equipment. Sure this is an offence, but the man was growing one plant at home, this was not a cannabis farm. The police appear to have been watching this plant grow via internet updates over a period of months before making the arrest, knowing that the man could only receive a caution. Is it worth it?

Detecting wrong doers on YouTube  is certainly easier than having a presence on the street fighting crime where somebody may get hurt but on this evidence it has long way to go to beat sitting by the side of the road with a speed gun, for making money.

The Death Penalty

On the 26th January 2009, I wrote a story of the couple Ritzwan Patel, 27, and Alliah Bradshaw, 29, who abused their six-week old baby daughter and left her to suffer with broken bones and meningitis.

Here is the original story;

http://www.buzzindisgrace.co.uk/another-child-suffers-at-the-hands-of-its-parents/195

The father, Patel was given a pathetic sentence of four-and-a-half years in jail after pleading guilty to child cruelty and to causing grievous bodily harm.  He admitted to shaking his baby daughter “in a fit of temper” so badly that nine of this tiny child’s ribs were broken, her collarbone, and she also had fractures to her legs

The mother, a drug addict, had previously had two other children taken into care after they were found to have been ill treated and neglected, was given a three-year jail sentence.  This poor child was born addicted to drugs and suffered with withdrawal symptoms for the first days of her life.

This child was on the Child Protection Register and allegedly had regular visits from Health and Support workers, so how was this allowed to happen?

The Support workers had apparently advised the parents to take the baby to hospital to undergo x-rays on her legs!  Surely that should have alerted them that something was not right, why wasn’t it arranged that the baby was seen immediately, what was the point in advising them to do something when they obviously had no control over their own life’s, unbelievable!

Summing Up, the Judge Jonathan Rose said;

“The consequences of her untreated illness was that this baby suffered brain damage, she has blindness, she has deafness, she has required surgical intervention, she has cerebral palsy.

The real suffering is to come for a long time in the future because her life has been effectively ruined.  She is condemned to a future of suffering, she will need constant and indefinite care.”

Her life has been ruined, as the judge said so why have these evil parents been given such miniscule sentences?  Both should be sterilised so they can never be parents again and then given a very slow and painful death sentence to suffer the same as this poor innocent child, I hope they both get what they deserve one day!
