| SAD NEWS!!! First Class Graduate Shot Dead By POLICE in Kaduna! Posted: 05 Oct 2013 10:01 AM PDT  "We were confused while trying to revive Muri, when a guy informed us that he knows a friend to Okpe's girlfriend that had left the party for a club called X-One at Barnawa," Andrew said. According to him, they quickly moved to X-One and fortunately met her there. "We picked the lady who identified the policeman who killed Muri as Alex Okpe, and that he serves at Kakuri Police Station but deployed to guard Nigerian Brewries Plc.," Andrew added. We learnt that the killer policeman was later tracked down and arrested by officers from Barnawa Police Division after the case was reported there. Kaduna State Police Commissioner, Femi Adenaike, who confirmed the incident to P.M.NEWS, said it was true Alex Okpe was arrested and during interrogation confessed to have killed Murtala Aminu at a party venue. Adenaike said Okpe claimed in his statement that he fired at Muri in "self defence" when he and his friends were trying fight him over his girlfriend. He said the police didn't send Okpe to Barnawa at that time and if he is found guilty, he would be dismissed and taken to court for trial. "The suspect is in the cell and we have commenced investigation. And if he is found guilty, we will give him an in-house trial and summary dismissal so that he can face the law for homicide," the state police boss said. Adenaike urged the family of the deceased to remain calm as the police are doing everything possible to investigate the case and ensure justice is done. The blind father of the late Muritala, Mohammed Jimoh, told journalists at press conference at their High-Cost residence that as a Muslim he's taught to accept the death of his son and bread winner as an act of God. But he said if his son had to die, it should not be in the hands of a policeman who should have been responsible for protecting him. "Yes my son , a first class economist for that matter and our hope, is dead, but I want justice done in this case," Aminu said. Until Murtala Aminu's death, he was the youth leader, Catholic Holy Family Church, Barnawa. He also owned a shawamar and roasted fish outlet at Narayi-Highcost.  |

| Montana woman accused of pushing husband off cliff pleads not guilty Posted: 05 Oct 2013 09:25 AM PDT  Jordan Linn Graham was arraigned Friday in a U.S. District Court in Missoula, Montana, about 130 miles south of where her newlywed husband Cody Johnson fell to his death on July 7. A federal grand jury on Thursday charged Graham with first- and second-degree murder and making false statements. On Friday, she was read those charges but waived a reading of the indictment, according to a court document. She subsequently pleaded not guilty on all three counts, was released as she had been before, and her next court appearance was set for October 15. The entire proceeding took about four minutes. A call placed by CNN to the federal public defender's office representing Graham was not immediately returned Friday afternoon, though her attorney has previously said the groom's death was an accident. Johnson and Graham had been married for a little more than a week when Cody Johnson died on a hiking trail in Glacier National Park. An affidavit supporting the charges against Graham states that she told police she decided to travel with Johnson to the hiking trail the evening of July 7 and an argument ensued. "Graham stated their argument intensified. At one point in time during their arguing, Graham turned and began to walk away. She stated Johnson grabbed her by the arm," reads the affidavit.  Montana newlywed faces new murder charge Graham said she then turned around and removed his hand. "Graham stated she could have just walked away, but due to her anger, she pushed Johnson with both hands in the back and as a result, he fell face first off the cliff," according to the affidavit. Michael Donahoe, Graham's lawyer, said last month that Johnson pinned his wife down at one point during their argument. The final part of their fight -- ending with Johnson falling off the cliff -- was "all in one motion, the grabbing and pushing," according to Donahoe. Johnson's body was found several days later. The affidavit also states that Graham texted a friend that same night her husband died, saying in the message that she was going to talk to Johnson about having "second thoughts." Graham texted, "Oh well, I am about to talk to him." Her friend responded, "I'll pray for you guys." Graham then replied, "Dead serious, if u don't hear from me at all again tonight, something happened," according to a court document filed in the case. The case is being handled in federal court because the death occurred inside a national park.  |

| Jim Iyke Attends Night Vigil Service With GF, Nadia Buari In Ghana Posted: 05 Oct 2013 09:11 AM PDT  Jim Iyke is presently in Ghana where he attended a night vigil service yesterday with Nadia Buari in her church. While the service was on, Jim tweeted; "His mercy grants true happiness and salvation Which you quest. Its devoid of popular opinion. Rev Godspeed Angels". Rev. Godspeed Angels is Nadia Buari's pastor and spiritual father.  |
| Update On Jim Iyke’s Deliverance At TB Joshua's Church Posted: 05 Oct 2013 09:04 AM PDT  The 'deliverance' came as a surprise to most people, given the fact the actor is widely known as Nollywood's 'bad' boy, some still believe the actor was doing what he knows best – acting. The soft porn actress, Afrocandy, didn't waste time comment on the issue: On her twitter handle earlier in the week, she said, "Na wa for our actors, Jim Iyke took his stunts to the altar. I wonder how much he got paid for the 'movie'. Nevertheless, he is a very good actor." Some actors like Segun Arinze and Charles Novia had condemned the 'deliverance'. In fact, former House of Representatives member, Patrick Obahiagbon, also voiced his distaste for the deliverance. He said on his twitter handle, "Bad script, gaudy acting, flashy colours, terrible acting, gullible audience. Come to think of it, Nollywood and Nigerian churches really do have a lot in common." But comedian, Okey Bakassi, wasn't of the same opinion as he congratulated Jim for 'being man enough'. The comedian said, "I'm fed up with all the noise about my actor colleague who gained independence from 'demonic influence or 'deliverance' at Synagogue. I respect him for seeking spiritual help when others are shying away from the reality of their situation. "Even those who are 'demons' themselves are throwing insults at Jim. Our level of hypocrisy in Nigeria is nauseating. Established 'sinners' find it convenient to throw stones at those whose stories become public, making it more difficult for people to seek help. "If you have never presented yourself for 'deliverance' keep quiet because you're not sure of what forces are speaking through you." Source: Punch  |
| I Lied To My Mother That I Was In UNILAG ––King Sunny Ade Posted: 05 Oct 2013 08:48 AM PDT  A lot of people might find it very difficult to believe that you are 67 with your looks; what is the magic? There is no magic; I just find myself like this. It's true people tell me that I don't look my age and whenever they say so, I get back home and look at myself in the mirror. But within myself, I know I am old. Truth is, I don't have any magic than to give God the glory for a good health. Maybe you do sports to keep you in shape. Well, I wouldn't call myself a sports man in that sense but I love sports. Within my compound, I have a scotch court, tennis court, small basketball court and other outdoor sports but that doesn't mean I do sports often. The stage alone is enough sport where I dance and jump all over the place. I think that I am just lucky because I don't wake up in the morning and do any exercise like a workout. Before some artistes go on stage, they either drink some stuff or smoke to be able to perform very well. What do you depend on that makes you do what you do on stage?Let me just put it this way that I am just lucky. I don't drink and I don't smoke. I don't do drugs and I don't like people who do drugs. Even within my band, ordinary cigarette smoking irritates me; I don't like it. I believe that music on its own is enough to make me high because I love doing it with passion. I don't need any drug to make me high on stage. I am addicted to music without necessarily taking anything to make me high. Do you have a particular eating habit or diet to keep you in this athletic shape? No, I tell people now that I have put on weight but they don't believe me especially when I watch my past videos. I just don't know why I have this shape because I don't have a specific time of eating. As I am talking to you now, I have not eaten anything since yesterday. Occasionally, I eat late and anytime I wake up is when I have my breakfast no matter the time of the day. I don't have any eating pattern and whenever I want to eat, I don't eat much because I would be thinking that I would not be able to sleep. What was your dream as a young boy? When I was young, I wanted to be an engineer and at the same time, I wanted to be a lawyer. At another time, I wanted to be a doctor. In fact, there was no time I wanted to be a musician because being born into royalty, it was unthinkable to think that way. But I loved music; I loved dancing and people who danced. I loved to dance to any kind of music. Then as a young boy of seven or eight, I used to pray for branded vans promoting new products like Michelin, to come to my community where I could listen to music and watch people dance. At times, I would just join to dance and people would be clapping for me. I would forget myself so much until one relative came along to pull my ears or beat me for dancing around. So, when I realised that nobody in the family wanted me to dance or watch those who danced or played music, it did not occur to me to wish to become a musician. I thought I would be a good lawyer because nobody won me over in any argument. At the same time too, I thought I would be an engineer because then, you would find me at any refuse dump where I would be looking for used wire and batteries which I coupled together to produce light. Then I would like to know what was doing the talking in the radio and people thought I would end up as an engineer. I learnt carpentry and painting. How? What of school? I was going to school but anytime I closed, I went to the carpentry workshop to learn. During holidays too, I was always at the workshop working. Again, I had a brother who repaired motorcycles and his shop was beside where I was learning carpentry. I more or less was learning so many things at the same time. But why did your parents take you to the carpentry workshop to learn even when you were schooling? No, it was on my own. I was very bright at school because the little I could read was enough for me to pass. Once I did my homework, I would dash across to the workshop and learn. Despite this, I never failed in school except once when my teacher intentionally failed me. I reported him to the headmaster and the teacher was sacked. We were 39 in class and the teacher said I came 14th instead of being in the first three. Even at that, how could I be said to have failed in the 14th position out of 39? It looked very strange to me and I walked into the headmaster's office and reported the teacher. After reporting the man, the headmaster told me not to tell anybody and that he knew what to do. I just discovered that I didn't see the teacher again; it was later that I learnt that the teacher had been sacked. But as a bright boy, why didn't you proceed to the university? That was my dream and intention. You know, I lost my father when I was young and I loved my mum so much that I thought it would be a burden for her to continue to fund my education alone with that of my siblings. So, out of pity for her, I decided to be doing something to help rather than depending on her to cater for me. When I was still very young in school, my mother who used to weave aso oke always gave me new cloth for my school uniform every term with different designs. I joined the Boys Brigade and during the holidays, we used to go to the white people's home like the DO (District Officer) for any job and sometimes, they would dash us some money. I used to go to the farm to look for bamboo to make cages for the birds that I caught. I would then give out the birds together with the cage and asked to be given anything in exchange. I wanted to go to the university; in fact when I ran to Lagos from Abeokuta, my people back home thought I was in the University of Lagos. When I was leaving Abeokuta for Lagos, I actually told some colleagues that I was going to Lagos to try my luck but that if my family asked of me, they should tell them that I gained admission to University of Lagos. For almost three years, my family thought I was in the university in Lagos. It was not until I formed my own group that an uncle came and asked me whether I was actually Sunny Ade. I said yes and he said how come; what happened to your university education? I said well, I had to take to music when I could no longer pay myself through school. He almost slapped me, accusing me of lying to the family that I was in school. Then I now made him to sit down and explained to him and he understood and promised to tell the family what I was actually doing. My family didn't approve of what I was doing for almost 15 years until I really made the name. They found it difficult to know that I was actually Sunny Ade instead of Sunday Adeniyi. Again in those days, they could only hear you on the radio; the television then, WNTV was very competitive for everyone to be featured. My mother insisted that I must go to school instead of playing music. She asked me how I wanted my father to feel in the grave that his son was only good enough to sing instead of being a lawyer or an engineer as the case may be. So how did you convince them to agree? They finally agreed because I did not smoke nor drink. In those days, musicians were considered to be dropouts and drunkards and never-do-wells. But I promised them that I would not mess up and I thank God today that families actually want their children to sing and become big musicians. They would not only assist in showing physical support and encouragement, they would hire pastors to pray for their success especially in the various reality shows going on. Why did you run to Lagos? I went to Abeokuta from Osogbo together with my former boss by name Idowu Owoeye during the coronation of the then Oba Gbadebo. Unfortunately, we got stranded; there was no money to go back to Osogbo or anything to eat. I had maybe just one shilling with me and I decided to come to Lagos to try my luck. I knew a member of Moses Olaiya's band back then who left for Lagos a year earlier. So, when I got to Lagos, I was looking for Moses Olaiya but instead of being taken to him, I was taken to Dr. Victor Olaiya. When I got to him, he asked what he could do for me and I explained to him that I was from Osogbo looking for Moses Olaiya. Until I became Sunny Ade years later, that was when I told Dr. Olaiya how I knew him when he was coming to play in Osogbo. Each time he came to Osogbo to play, I was the one holding his trumpet for him. He normally called me Big Boy which was a way of sounding nice because as the youngest member of Moses Olaiya's band, I was very tiny. I would hold the trumpet and follow him to his hotel, asking for nothing. I just loved the way he played and handled the instrument. He didn't want it dirty at all and he still does so. I went in search of the band member of Moses Olaiya who I traced to Lagos originally. His name was Ayodele; when I got to his house, I was informed that he went out and I decided to wait for him. When he came back, he introduced me to Moses Olaiya and that was the time they were going for a show. They allowed me to follow them and luckily for me, the guy that was playing the konga was a blind man and my arrival was like coming to help him. Apart from playing the konga, he also sang, so when I came, I would play the konga while he sang. Anytime I played the konga, my boss was very happy and that was how I started. When would you say you had a breakthrough in music? I would say it was when I did Challenge Cup around 1968/70. My music was quite different from any other and people started asking: who is this? When I did the first record, Alaanu Loluwa; it was a single. I did another one and when I did the next one for Challenge Cup where Flaming Flamingos of Chief Adebajo participated, that was the first time I had a gold disc because we sold more than 500,000 copies. I would call that the breakthrough; I did another one and that was when the media called me Master Guitarist. From then, there hasn't been any stop. Who taught you how to play the guitar? God. Nobody taught me how to play guitar; even drumming, dancing, singing, nobody. I just found myself doing all those things because of the passion I had for music. I was steadfast in teaching myself all of these because I realised that I had to get it right more so when the family did not support it. I also realised that there was no way I could go to the university without playing music; so I vowed to excel and thought that if I eventually went to the university, I would still be doing music part time. But guitar is not something you buy in the market and start playing immediately; how did you make it? I was the youngest member in the band of Moses Olaiya; I went to Dr. Victor Olaiya's shop to buy my first guitar with about three pounds or so. It was a brand new acoustic guitar and I put it on continuous practice. I loved I K Dairo music and the type of music we were playing in Moses Olaiya's band was I K Dairo music, so I started picking the string one by one and anytime someone was playing guitar, I would watch their fingers and how they were doing it. I also loved the music of now Pastor Dele Ojo, I would pick something from him on my guitar. Then my boss could play highlife guitar and I watched him too. My boss chose some of us to be in the theatre by the time we formed theatre group and I was the one leading the music aspect; then I would play guitar, sing and dance. I always liked to hide my guitar from my boss because I didn't want him to have funny ideas about me. Sometimes, I would play my guitar in the midnight even though some people said the spirit would slap anyone doing so at that particular time. But I reasoned that if it was true, the spirit should have been slapping every musician playing late into the night. I taught myself for about three years and it was a hard work. Anyone listening to your music would appreciate a lot of folklore and traditional elements in the songs; how did you achieve this?A lot of people helped. You know in Osogbo where I also lived and also in Ondo here, there are a lot of traditional festivals, folk songs and different kinds of traditional things going on. Again, as someone that wanted to have a unique type of style, I loved to go very deep in search of the elements and the origin of the songs. Sometimes, I would go to bookshops and buy Yoruba books especially books written by people like D.O. Fagunwa; the Alawiye series. I loved to sing songs that would convey pure and deep Yoruba language, not slangs. In fact, I loved writing the songs on blackboard during rehearsals with my band. When I was fully in music, I prayed to be like Frank Sinatra as a musician because people loved and respected him. I studied what he did to command such respect. Why are you so close to almost all Yoruba obas? Is it because of being from a royal family? I believe God gave me that and till now, I still don't know why they all love me. I am the son of all the obas and I respect them because obas are born. As a Yoruba boy and being a royal blood, one must know how to behave in their presence. Whenever I go to the Oba of Benin, he is always the one that beckons to me to come closer to him. He would say but I knew him as a permanent secretary, so why keeping a distance and I would say that was when he was just a prince. I am sure all the obas would want to give you chieftaincy titles… You know as a royal blood, I cannot be a chief again but somehow some still offer me and what I do is that I would help some people to help me explain why I could not take titles. But I don't reject outright because that is a sign of disrespect. Recently, you and Ebenezer Obey performed together in Ole ku concert; that is what would not happen when two of you were seen as rivals in the juju music industry.We have always been good friends but you the media and our fans created whatever you thought was rivalry between us based on our records and songs. It is people that read meanings to everything we did. When he became pastor, I held the fort for him and when he decided to come back to the house, he met the house intact and we played together. We showed to the whole world that we are friends and we have performed together at other places. Are you not afraid for the future of juju music which is not multiplying like fuji? With respect to fuji music and the practitioners, it was taken from juju music. Juju music is very expensive unlike fuji in terms of instruments. For fuji, you can assemble the instruments so easily unlike juju where you would need at least four or five guitars to start. Today, you cannot find a good guitar for N40,000. Again, juju is played in some environment such as hotels and club houses like in the days of old. And if you want to rent instruments, you cannot spend less than N250,000 per show on instruments alone. A lot of people still play juju but the problem is that most of us have gone to church. But with the way things are going now, you too may join them. I am in the church already; I have never left the church but I play juju. Those that got special anointing left jujuand went to church which is good. I had been a church person as a member of Cherubim and Seraphim but now I am a member of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. While I was looking for fame, I sang all sorts of songs like the ogun and other songs that I thought people would accept. But in the record, E kilo fomode, I sang about oro and egungun which I did not even know about. I sang all those just to gain acceptance, nothing more. There is no record I did without singing the praise of God. When you did Ekilo Fomode, people said you were referring to Emperor Peter. The omode record was already out before Emperor Peter came; people just read meanings into it. Peter himself said in one interview that I must have been referring to him as Omo ode when Dele Abiodun sang the song somewhere. In fact, I did not know him for many years until I saw him in Ondo here. I never knew him before I sang the song. The song Omode is just a warning to all children to know what to do and not to do to avoid regret. All along, you always have gospel track in your album; are you afraid of abandoning secular music to go into full gospel like your colleague, Chief Ebenezer Obey?I have always been a gospel singer all my life. At the same time, I believe my music wins souls for God. I don't believe I have to become a pastor, an evangelist or church owner before I can win souls. It's true a lot of people want me to become an evangelist but I am yet to get the call. What I pray for is to hear a genuine call because some wicked people can try mischief and concoct a call. What I need is to get a call and be prepared for it. When I hear the call, it is then that it will be extremely easy for me to go into full gospel. In other climes, those that have not done a quarter of what you have done for more than 50 years fly private jets. Is it that musicians here cannot achieve such no matter how they try? Well, we have problem with royalties, piracy and other issues in the industry. They don't have all these problems in other places. Over there, once you have a hit record, other companies will come and bombard you with every of your needs. They will manage you; even lawyers will come, so also are the record companies. You don't even have to say you want a jet, they will ask you what type of jet you want and they will bring it to you. They believe that what you have is a serious business for all the players in the industry. But in Nigeria, we are all self-made artistes; we promote ourselves, do everything. It is quite worrisome because if you use about N3m to make a record, even before you finish working on it, it is in the market already with pirates feasting on it. And some of us musicians too, we can be desperate when we need money by going to record companies to sign unreasonable terms. Was there anytime in your career that you felt like quitting because of frustration? Of course, everyday is not Christmas; it is normal to have lows and highs but I don't carry such around. Even when playing, something unpleasant may happen but I always believe tomorrow will be better. How has fame shaped your life? I respect people and I also respect myself. Because of fame, I am always careful of what I do anywhere because of the consciousness that a popular person is always under watch. It's like one has to live a special life. If you say you don't smoke, you better don't come close to where they are smoking. If you are drinking Coca-Cola, be careful so that when you pour it in a glass, people will not think it is beer. When you and Onyeka Onwenu did a song, Wait for me, there was a rumour that you two had an affair… That was the gimmick we used for that particular record to be widely accepted. Because the collaboration was very unusual, people were thinking we were dating but we were not. People were thinking we were getting married until the record came out. Onyeka is a very good friend and an energetic musician. The song was sponsored by Hopkins University in Maryland, USA and we even went there to collect the award together. I read it somewhere where you warned young men to be wary of women; did you give the advice out of a personal experience?Not really but if you look around, it is the reality. I reckon that it is better to have the number of children one can care for. In those days of our forefathers, the more children they had, the more wealth they would get. But nowadays, paying school fees alone is no joke and the children too want to use all manner of sophisticated phones. At 67, are you looking at retirement soon? No musician can retire until they are old or something happens. Music is in the blood and it is in the reservoir.  |
| 38yrs Old Actress Rita Dominic Secretly Dating Mikel Obi Posted: 05 Oct 2013 08:23 AM PDT  My source claimed that he is suspecting that 'things' have started happening... He knows that Rita Dominic said recently that she is single and searching, but wonders if that was why she is in London. He asked, 'do you think Mikel is a good choice'? He quarried why a 38-year-old lady would be hibernating with Mikel Obi, a young man that is not more than 30 years old. If true, I think Rita should be careful.

| Revealed: The 12 convicted murderers who were freed on licence only to kill AGAIN in the past decade Posted: 05 Oct 2013 07:59 AM PDT A dozen convicted murderers who were freed early from jail have gone on to kill again in the past decade, MailOnline can reveal today. They served as little as eight years in prison for their first murder before being let out to do it again, sometimes within weeks of leaving custody. One shocking case involved steroid-addict bodybuilder Douglas Gary Vinter, who was released after nine years before carrying out a carbon-copy killing on his estranged wife.   Twice convicted: Douglas Gary Vinter served less than ten years for murder before killing again, this time his wife Anne White in 2008 After kidnapping her and holding her hostage at his mother's house they found Ms White's body in the kitchen. She had been strangled and stabbed four times with two knives, one of which had broken in the attack. Vinter, who measures a giant 6ft 7in, had used anabolic steroids and had been drinking and taking cocaine, told police: 'I've got my reasons why I did it.' At the time he was on licence after serving less than a decade in prison for the murder of Carl Edon, 22, who he stabbed to death in a railway workers' cabin.  Furious: Tory MP Philip Davies says it is an 'outrage' that people convicted of murder are released from prison to go on and commit another murder In 2004 Glen had been paid to intimidate a man by a businessman but he murdered the wrong person, Robert Bogle, who shared a house with the intended target. Mr Bogle and his girlfriend were cooking dinner when Glen kicked the door down and stabbed him all over his upper body, including in his heart. Glen had not asked the name of the person he was to intimidate, who was called Vincent Smart, who was out. It later emerged that Mr Smart was white, whereas Mr Bogle was black. The victim crawled into the street to get help but later died. Families of those whose loved-ones have been murdered today said 'life must always mean life'. 'These are people who should be alive now', said Rose Dixon of group Support after Murder and Manslaughter (SAMM). 'Many of our members say that that they have great concerns that the offender that killed their loved-one will kill again. It is horrifying how many do. 'Most believe that they should serve life or a sufficiently long time that they are unable to offend again. 'The majority of families of victims suffer far longer than the person that killed them'. Conservative MP Philip Davies, who helped uncover the figures, said: 'Murderers sent to prison for life should spend the rest of their life in prison It's an absolute outrage that people convicted of murder are released from prison to go on and commit another murder. 'I think that any government that presides over that system should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.'  Crime scene: Robert Bogle, the victim of bungling hitman Paul Glen, was stabbed and crawled out into this street in Farcet, Cambridgeshire, before dying from his injuries All the killers were considered ready for freedom by parole boards, but then murdered again, often in similar ways to their first homicide. David Cameron is known to back 'whole life' terms for murderers, but Eurocrats fight them in Strasbourg because they believe they breach the offenders' human rights and are 'inhumane'. Justice Minister Jeremy Wright said: 'Reoffending has been too high for too long and we are introducing significant reforms to the way offenders are rehabilitated and managed in the community. 'From 2015 all prisoners will for the first time receive a minimum 12 months' supervision on release and GPS satellite tags will also allow us to keep a much closer eye on them. 'Our changes will see the best of the voluntary, public and private sector working together to cut reoffending.' It came as it was revealed that one in seven murders in Britain is committed by suspects freed on bail while awaiting trial for other crimes. Last year 56 murders – more than one a week and a shocking 37 per cent rise on 2011 – were carried out by people bailed by the courts. The murderous men freed from jail allowed to kill againOfficial figures show that 12 killers murdered again in the past decade:Shotgun killer who gunned down man 38 years after his first murder Career criminal: Pensioner killer Ernest gunned a man down 38 years after his first murder The 70-year-old had served 26 years in prison for a 1971 killing when he was freed on life licence in 1999. Despite his release he continued to mix in criminal circles and carried out several night-time burglaries, police said. Then, in March three years ago, he gunned down Neville Corby, 42, after bursting into his home in Bradford, West Yorkshire. Wearing a balaclava he twice reloaded his shotgun as he fired six shots at Mr Corby and his intended target, Craig Freear, 31, whom he had a long-standing feud with. He was jailed in 1973 after beating Trevor Hale to death with an iron bar in Aylesbury, then trying to burn his body in a shallow grave. One relative, who did not want to be named, said: 'We were never going to be happy with the outcome of the trial. 'This should never have happened. There is no justice for our family today and there never will be. 'The British government, the Home Office and so called criminal justice system have a lot to answer for. 'We have to come to to terms with that for the rest of our lives, it should never have been allowed to happen.' Double killer was jailed again after carbon copy of first murderMaria Stubbings, 50, was killed by convicted murderer Marc Chivers at her home in Chelmsford, Essex, in December 2008.Chivers had been freed from a German prison less than a year earlier, after serving 15 years for murdering his then girlfriend Sabine Rappold. He was jailed for life in 2009 for Ms Stubbings' murder. Ms Stubbings was strangled with a dog lead and dumped under coats in the toilet of her house, but police were 'fobbed off' by her killer, who said she was away, even though her car was in the drive.   Brutal: Maria Stubbings was murdered by Marc Chivers who killed again after killing a girlfriend in Germany It later emerged she was throttled to death despite her having contacted police several times about the dangerous killer because he was physically abusing her. Chivers was had been deported from Germany after 15 years in jail. In 1992 he strangled Miss Rappold with a rope and buried her in a shallow grave. But a loophole in the law meant probation officers here were never told how dangerous he was. Eleven months later he killed a mother-of-two who had befriended him. Welsh strangler who murdered just 100 miles from his first killingPensioner David Cook, 65, of Rhymney, South Wales, beat neighbour Leonard Hill, 64, senseless before throttling him with a TV flex in 2011.Cook carried out the violent killing when next-door neighbour Mr Hill paid him a visit. Afterwards Cook ransacked his neighbour's bungalow, stealing his wallet before going to a nearby pub for a drink with locals.   Killed again: Pensioner David Cook, 65, left, beat neighbour Leonard Hill, 64, right, senseless before throttling him with a TV flex in 2011 - 25 years after his first murder  Murdered: Victim Beryl Maynard (right), with her husband Roger and their two children, was strangled with a dressing gown cord in 1987 by David Cook Cook then used a dressing gown cord and 'strangled her and killed her', his trial heard. Mrs Maynard was a Good Samaritan who befriended him while he was in prison. But he then robbed and killed her at her home. And then more than 20 years later, he befriended new neighbour Mr Hill - before robbing and killing him in a similar way.  Killed and fled: David Baxendale was stabbed and killed a man in Spain before killing a woman in Surrey in the same way He carried out a 'ferocious attack' on Sarah Thomas, 38, at her home in Surrey before catching a ferry out of Britain. Her boyfriend, who became worried for her safety, arrived at the flat and found her lying in a pool of blood. Baxendale had been drinking all day before the murder and was seen running from the crime scene and eventually caught a taxi to his mother's home. The next day he got to Portsmouth, where he shaved his head in a public toilet. Using his brother's passport he took a one-way ticket to St Malo in France and slowly made his way to Marbella in Spain. But he was recognised in a bar and arrested. It later emerged that in 2001 he was jailed in Spain for murdering a man by stabbing him 14 times while drunk and high on drugs. After eight years in prison he was deported to Britain, where he was allowed out on licence. Bungling hitman who killed the wrong man for £300Hitman Paul Glen stabbed and killed the wrong man by mistake for £300.A wealthy Cambridgeshire builder wanted to scare someone because he believed he had been intimidating his sons. Via the underworld Paul Glen was hired to do the job.   Error: Bungling contract killer Paul Glen who stabbed the wrong man to death, Robert Bogle, right, as he cooked dinner with his girlfriend In 2004 he travelled from Liverpool to Mr Smart's home in Farcet, Cambridgeshire, armed with a knife. But, by mistake, he stabbed and killed Robert Bogle, who shared a house with Mr Smart. Mr Bogle and his girlfriend were cooking dinner together when Glen kicked the door down and stabbed in the hands and arms, and once through the chest and into his heart. His terrified girlfriend was behind the sofa. Glen had not asked the name of the person he was to intimidate, who was called Vincent Smart, who was out. It later emerged that Mr Smart was white, whereas Mr Bogle was black. Glen went on the run to Blackpool but was arrested two months later.

Strangler murdered sex offender a dumped his body in mirror-image killingRoyston Jackson, 43, was convicted of murdering sex offender Gordon Boon, 73 in 2010.Turkey catcher Jackson strangled and killed Boon, a convicted sex offender, after the pair met at a probation hostel in Norwich. He murdered him then dumped his body in a country lane two years after being released from prison for the first murder.   A walking couple found Boon's naked body in October 2008, dumped in near the Bernard Matthews headquarters in Norfolk. The pensioner had been to prison for sex offences against a girl of 13 and one aged eight and at first police thought it was a vigilante killing until they linked the pair. Jackson had murdered teenager Stephen Raven in Essex in 1989. Stephen Raven's clothing had been interfered with because although he was wearing clothes, they had clearly been taken off prior to his killing because his underpants had been put on inside out and back to front. Both of Jackson's victims had been strangled and disposed of the same way and had a 'sexual overtone'. Drug addict killer murdered gay man for £3 before turning on 89-year-old after release He was freed in 2006 and five years later he battered to death 89-year-old widow Florence Habesch for £25 as she made a cup of tea. His attack was delivered with such force he caved in her skull. Johnson, from Rhyl, went to the elderly woman's house in order to steal money for his heroin and crack cocaine habit. He knew Mrs Habesch as his partner worked for Avon and Mrs Habesch was one of her customers. Johnson would sometimes make deliveries to her home. He befriended the pensioner and did some odd jobs around her house for which he was paid. On February 6 this year Johnson, desperate to pay off a drug debt, went to Mrs Habesch's home where he was invited in. While she was in the kitchen making tea, he struck her on the head with a heavy projector case, knocking her to the floor. Mrs Habesch was staring at him and making gurgling noises so he hit her again with the case, he told police. He went upstairs and stole £25 and two items of jewellery. At the time he murdered Mrs Hasbech, Johnson had been released following a murder back in 1986. When he was 22, Johnson had befriended a homosexual man with the intent of stealing from him. He went to the victim's flat where they launched a 'sustained and savage attack' with knives and a pair of scissors which lasted an hour. He got 17 years in prison.

Bodybuilder killed his wife in 'steroid rage' after less that ten years in jail for murder Twice convicted: Douglas Gary Vinter (pictured) served less than ten years for murder before killing again, this time his wife Anne in 2008 Bodybuilder Douglas Gary Vinter served less than ten years for murder before killing again in a similar way to the first homicide. He was finally given a whole life sentence for stabbing his wife to death in 2008 - after being released from a life sentence for the murder of a workmate. He knifed his wife Anne, 40, to death after kidnapping her and holding her hostage at his mother's house. At the time, Vinter was on licence after serving a decade in prison for the murder of Carl Edon, 22, who he stabbed to death in a railway workers' cabin. His family were furious that Vinter was set free to kill again. Teesside Crown Court was told how Vinter, 38, moved in with mother-of-four Anne White shortly after leaving prison in August 2005. Mr Edon's mother, Val, said she was angry her son's killer had been freed so soon. She said: I am very, very bitter. 'I feel so so sorry for Anne White's family. If he hadn't come out of prison, then her children would still have a mother. Somebody wouldn't listen.'  |
| EXPOSED: Why The Plane Carrying Agagu's Corpse Crashed Posted: 05 Oct 2013 07:26 AM PDT  While officials said the ill-fated aircraft carried only 20 people on board, a reliable aviation source disclosed on Friday that the plane might have crashed because it was "overloaded" in some other ways... The plane had 20 passengers, 13 of which died while the seven others were left in critical conditions. The top source, who pleaded not to be named because of the sensitive nature of the issue, told Nation that at the time of the crash, the plane had 5-hour endurance fuel, which constituted burden on the plane because it only needed just about a third of that quantity of fuel for a return trip from Lagos to Akure. The expert said: "It is true that the plane is designed for 30 passengers and there were only 20 on board, but it was loaded with too much fuel, and that is professionally wrong. The aircraft had five-hour endurance fuel for a return journey that would not take more than one hour. "Remember that the aircraft was also carrying a corpse, and you know that the weight of a corpse is more than that of a living person. This combined with the weight of the casket and the volume of fuel in the aircraft probably weighed it down as it approached the air." The foregoing, the source said, was compounded by the fact that the two engines of the aircraft might not have been in perfect conditions. Hence, when one of the engines packed up, the weight of the aircraft became too much for JUST one engine to carry. "As it taxied for take-off, the pilot probably realised that the plane had lost an engine, but he believed that he was already at a point that we in the aviation sector call the "critical point of no return." If he had aborted the flight at that point, the impact would have been much more. "The pilot probably had to continue to go up or 'pull off ' in the hope that the other engine could take the aircraft to a level where it could return to land and abort the flight. But whereas it is possible to stabilise with one engine when an aircraft is in the air, it is very dangerous to take off or land with one engine." By the account of the airliners, the ill-fated aircraft's last flight was in August while it underwent a A-check in June, meaning that it did not fly in the whole of September. The expert said this was probably so because the aircraft, usually used for chartered services, was not hired during the period, which underscores the need for vigorous check by ground officers who certified it fit to be airborne. The aviation expert also said communication between the pilot and the traffic controllers at the airport wasn't possible because the aircraft had not gained altitude for it to come under aerial radar control Explaining the various stages of control before an aircraft is airborne, the source said: "There are four stages of control. The first stage is on the ground when the necessary checks are made to certify the aircraft fit. The second is the tower stage where the control tower declares the captain free to take off. "The third is the approach stage where the control tower monitors the aircraft to see that it stabilises. The fourth is the radar stage when the plane is airborne and communication between the pilot and air traffic controllers is possible. "The aircraft was at the third stage which is 'approach' when it crashed on Thursday." It would be recalled that the propeller aircraft crashed into the compound of PPMC inside the premises of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport around 9.32 am on Thursday. The plane hit the fence and broke into two before it went up in flames after about 25 minutes.  |
