A FOOTBALL coach suffered horrific injuries after being tortured by a pack of savages who carved the word "nonse" into his back. Jordan Storey was attacked with an axe, sledgehammer, knife, dumbbell bar and a dog chain during the 48-hour nightmare ordeal. The thugs also tied him to a chair and set his hands and feet on fire as they carved the incorrectly spelled word "nonse" into his back - despite there being no suggestion he had done anything wrong. Terrified Jordan, 28, believed he would be murdered as the gang discussed killing him and dumping his body before framing him for rape. The brave football coach allowed photos of his horror injuries to be released as the foursome were caged yesterday for a total of 31 years. Jamie Barker, Lewis Herman and Rebecca McNally admitted wounding with intent while Chelsea Wilson-Ford admitted unlawful wounding at Newcastle Crown Court. The court was told Jordan had known Wilson-Ford for ten years when she called him on … [Read more...] about Horrific injuries of football coach tortured for 48 hours by thugs who filmed themselves carving ‘nonse’ on his back
Horrific accidents at work
‘I was on my bike when I heard a loud bang and my living nightmare began’
It was a bright sunny day on the morning of Wednesday 21 September, 2016. Just like any other weekday morning, I woke up my two children, Helena and Daniel, who were seven and four at the time, and got them ready for school. My husband Berat cleared away breakfast, as I put on a beautiful dress for church on one of the last warm days before autumn. When I waved my children goodbye at the school gate, I felt a sense of pride. I had been a stay-at-home mum, and although my kids are everything to me, I was so happy they were now in school and enjoying it. At 36, I finally had the freedom to focus on getting back to college to study for my PGCE and qualify as a teacher . I hopped on my bike and headed to my church in Finsbury Park, north London, to catch the 10am service. I loved cycling – for the past 13 years I used to get around London on my bike, rain or shine. I weaved through the streets and came to some busy traffic lights. I could never have predicted what was about … [Read more...] about ‘I was on my bike when I heard a loud bang and my living nightmare began’
‘I was sold as a sex slave at 19 and forced to watch a girl be murdered’
Aged only 19, Sarah Forsyth travelled to Amsterdam on the promise of a job as a nursery nurse – and instead was abducted at gunpoint and sold as a sex slave. She was forced to sleep with up to 20 men a night to line the pockets of vicious pimps. Every night when Sarah closes her eyes the memories of those days in the notorious red light district play out like scenes in a horror film. And she always sees the same face first – that of a trembling young girl from Thailand. She had been trafficked like Sarah but hadn’t made enough money for her captors. As a punishment the girl was taken to a squalid warehouse on the edge of the city and shot dead. Her horrific death was filmed – while Sarah was forced to watch. “Her face just exploded,” Sarah recalled. “I stood and I watched as the bullet literally took half her head off her shoulders. “And then, just as the noise registered in my ears, she dropped to the floor beside my feet. I wanted to scream but although my mouth opened … [Read more...] about ‘I was sold as a sex slave at 19 and forced to watch a girl be murdered’
Selby train crash: Twenty years on from disaster, widow says crucial lessons have not been learned
The widow of one of the 10 people who died in the Selby train crash - which happened 20 years ago today - says lessons have not been learned from the disaster. Mary Dunn's husband Steve, a locomotive driver, was killed when a high-speed passenger train was derailed into the path of his oncoming freight train after it hit a Land Rover and trailer that was stranded on the tracks at Great Heck, near Selby in North Yorkshire. The driver of the Land Rover, Gary Hart, was given a five-year jail sentence for causing death by dangerous driving. A jury heard he had fallen asleep at the wheel and drifted off the M62 motorway and down an embankment, with his vehicle coming to rest on the East Coast Main Line. With research from the AA Charitable Trust suggesting 13% of drivers in the UK admit falling asleep at the wheel, Mrs Dunn said more could be done to cut the number of accidents - including the creation of additional rest areas. She said: "The accident rate hasn't really … [Read more...] about Selby train crash: Twenty years on from disaster, widow says crucial lessons have not been learned
