Shocking details emerge about serial killer’s horror tactics after body of woman found in woods helps track down suspect
SHOCKING details have emerged about a serial killer's chilling tactics in the week the man pleaded guilty. Daniel Printz, 59, was in court on Tuesday just one month after the body of an 80-year-old woman was found in a wooded area. The North Carolina man admitted the kidnapping of Edna Suttles - a Travelers Rest woman who was last seen alive in August 2021 - which led to her death. Suttles went missing after leaving her Greenville County, South Carolina home in her champagne-colored Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Boy, 14, arrested after woman raped in nightclub toilet
A 14-year-old boy has been arrested after a woman was raped in a nightclub toilet – with security staff accused of leaving the victim inside a cubicle with her attacker. It’s believed the woman and her friends were approached by a teenager offering to sell them drugs at the Bloom club in Manchester in the early hours of Wednesday morning. He entered the male toilets with her and allegedly sexually assaulted her at around 4.15am. A member of security staff went into the toilets and knocked on the cubicle door at one point, a Manchester City Council licensing hearing was told on Friday. He is said to have realised there were two people inside, but allowed them to remain in there together and left. PC Hammersley said: ‘I don’t think anything was said to him specifically about what was going on, but obviously, it wouldn’t be good practice for security to allow two people to remain in a toilet cubicle together without carrying out checks.’ Around 20 minutes after … [Read more...] about Boy, 14, arrested after woman raped in nightclub toilet

Jack Lis: MP wants Dangerous Dogs Act overhauled after boy’s death
Published 7 hours ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing An MP is calling for a change in the law on dangerous dogs, which could see the return of the dog licence.

Jack was killed by an American Bully, a breed not covered by the act . Mr David is to lead a Commons debate on Thursday. He plans to call for tougher sentences for those convicted of offences.

Misleading viral content is killing people. Why are we still consuming it?
About once a day, while I’m scrolling through TikTok or Instagram in a state of euphoric online dissociation, I’ll come across a video that’s so stupid that it briefly makes me consider putting my phone down and doing some actual work (I never do, but still). I’m not talking about your run of the mill stupid videos either, like of somebody falling down or doing an embarrassing little dance. I’m talking about those “hack” videos where a person tells you that you should try cooking steak in a toaster , or bedazzling your tongue with sequins. Those videos that look like something Neil Buchanan would make if he lost his mind, where a person encourages the viewer to do something completely pointless that at best won’t work, and at worst could harm them. As frustrating as those videos are, it’s that potential for harm that I find the most disturbing about them. Not only is this misinformation often completely unregulated, but it is also actively promoted – and in some … [Read more...] about Misleading viral content is killing people.

Ghislaine Maxwell told me to strip and tried to let men grope my breasts in perverted game, says party guest
GHISLAINE Maxwell coerced women at a party to take their tops off and let men grope their breasts, a former acquaintance has claimed. Female guests were told to take off their tops and bras while the men, wearing blindfolds, would then fondle them. The bizarre party game took place at Maxwell 's childhood home of Headington Hall in the early 1980s, when she had already established herself as a fixture on the socialite scene. Nicola Glucksmann described how she was left feeling "betrayed" as she recalled the encounter in upcoming Channel 4 documentary Ghislaine Maxwell: Making of a Monster. She was appalled at how Maxwell would try to serve up fellow women to the attending men and promptly left before she could be pressured into participating. It comes as the 60-year-old socialite has now been jailed for 20 years for her role in grooming young girls for paedo multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein .
