There are reports, currently unconfirmed, on X that Axel Rudakubana has been attacked in prison when a number of men forced him to drink bleach. No other information at present.

For anyone interested in medical futility cases, Thaddeus Pope has collected legal depositions on many cases going back 40 years or more. https://thaddeuspope.com/medicalfutility/futilitycases.html

That's not the case. The question of medical futility comes into play here, and that is a matter for the doctors as in the UK they are not legally required to provide treatment which they consider futile or not to be in the interests of the patient. If Huntley is brain damaged to the extent that...

Soham beast Ian Huntley is blind, brain-damaged and will likely die soon after having his head smashed apart in jail attack, report says Child killer Ian Huntley will likely die after he was beaten with a metal pole in a prison attack - and if he lives he will be blind, sources claim. The...

Yes, I'd been thinking that these were actually bearer securities so effectively a form of currency. They used to be fairly common in various forms but have been mostly phased out of the international banking and finance system over the past two decades or so because they facilitate dosh...

I doubt the police would be as explicit as I was, but I imagine they would tell an inquest that they were confident that the deceased had fallen in while urinating. Indeed. I think another posted on this thread provided a link to the results of a research study by Portsmouth University into...

Dunno, but I suspect if you find a man with a high blood alcohol level, his flies open and his todger out drowned in a body of water, it's pretty obvious what has happened.

It's very likely that the PIs are carrying out an independent/fresh eyes review of the evidence and everything the police have done so far. This would be to identify any obvious gaps in the police actions and any additional lines of enquiry. I'm not really following this case actively at present...

Unfortunately the man who was stabbed has since died. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr73jx9e59ko Earlier reports were that this was an interracial incident with the attacker being a black migrant and the victim an Afghan one. However, I've not seen confirmation of this. The police tend to...

Man stabbed near Birmingham primary school A man has been stabbed and a woman also injured in an attack near a primary school. Emergency services, including firearms officers, were called to Bridge Road, in Alum Rock, Birmingham, shortly after 12:00 GMT following reports a man had been...

Earlier in the day it was being reported that several people had been killed but this appears not to be the case. Alum Rock is a strongly Asian or Muslim area of the city. Man is stabbed and woman injured in attack outside primary school as armed police arrest suspect, 32 who fled 'after being...

I see that yesterday was the 2nd anniversary of Jack going missing. Statistically, it's very unlikely that he will be found now as only around 1% of people who remain missing in the UK for a year or more do turn up eventually. I don't think we know much more now than we did after about 2...

I'm not challenging fsngruv's comments. I simply find these cultural differences interesting because they have the potential to mislead or confuse some posters.

Yes, the source is unconfirmed or not necessarily reliable. But so are the sources that immediately claimed that Israel was responsible. I want to see confirmation of which school, if any, was hit, when and by whom. Israeli intelligence in such matters is second to none so I think an IRGC...

It's also claimed that the IRGC was responsible, with one of its own missiles misfiring and landing on the school.
