72-year-old pensioner faces jail for fatally shooting burglar

Reuben Gregory who lived a reclusive life with his sister could be imprisoned after he shot dead a man who tried to break into his caravan.

The man was woken by his sister's screams in the early hours of 12 June as someone attempted to break into the caravan they shared in the countryside near Heathrow.
Both attempted to fight the men off with a knife, but Gregory fired a double-barrelled shotgun through a hole in the door and hit 48-year-old Wayne Digby with a fatal shot to the chest and his
 alleged accomplice, Anthony Hearn, was also injured.

 Gregory and his sister Kathleen have lived a frugal life in the caravan since 1960s - which is accessible only via a footpath and has no running water, phone line or electricity.

After the shooting, he called the police from a neighbour's phone, telling them of an incident after a "gang" had attempted to break in.
"Yes I'm the one who's done it mate," he said. "I've been attacked at the caravan."
But police investigation revealed that he had more weapons.

The following were reported found in a bag near Digby's body; a wooden mallet, cable ties, a bottle of bleach, a funnel and bolt crimpers and a machete with Hearn's DNA in a nearby street.

Further search of Gregory's caravan uncovered a tennis ball full of flammable liquid and stuffed with a rag.
He was initially arrested on suspicion of murder, but the court ruled he was acting in self-defence.
The man pleaded guilty to having a firearm without a certificate at East Berkshire Magistrates' Court on Monday.

The illegal firearms charge carries a prison sentence of up to five years.

Gregory said he had owned the weapon since the 1980s, when he and his family were hit by another break-in, and had been refused a licence because the caravan was not deemed a safe place to keep a firearm.
Defence lawyer Umar Khan said Gregory "fully accepts" he kept a weapon without a certificate.
"He didn't want this trouble, he lives a frugal lifestyle, he and his sister," he said. "Trouble came to him."

He will be sentenced at Reading Crown Court at a date yet to be set.

Man found dead in the airport carpark eight months after he went missing

The deceased's wife is devastated after her  husband body was found in an airport carpark, eight months after he went missing.

Randy Potter, 53, of Kansas City disappeared from his home in January this year and wife Carolina Potter immediately began searching for him.

He was last seen leaving home on the morning of January 17.

The wife contacted Kansas City International Airport to let them know her husband was missing and gave them details of his vehicle.
But it wasn't until a foul smell was noticed coming from a vehicle in the airport's Economy Lot B parking lot this week that his body was discovered.

"How is it possible, in America," she asked The Kansas City Star.
"A truck sitting there for eight months? He could have been found a lot sooner if everybody had done their job.
"Nobody bothered to look."

The man who was a T-Mobile manager is understood to have taken his own life.
Kansas City police say the body was in the airport carpark from January to September in the truck of his vehicle.

The City spokesperson Chris Hernandez issued a statement expressing "their deepest sympathies" to the family.
"We wish them peace during this difficult time," he said. "We are working with all parties to determine the facts involved, including SP Plus, which manages the 25,000 parking spaces at Kansas City International Airport."


After his wife reported him missing to Lenexa Police Department and hiring a private investigator, they were unable to find him.
The wife and a member of his family even went to the airport looking for him.
But the airport authorities had reportedly told the family if Potter's vehicle was in one of their parking lots, they would find him and now the frustrated family is demanding answers.

"It's amazing he wasn't found in June or July," the family's lawyer John Picerno told The Kansas City Star that :
"Our goal is to find out what happened and why. What was done, what wasn't done.
"And to try to make sure this doesn't happen again to somebody."

Lagos Uber driver, 5 others arrested over murder of Gulder Ultimate Search winner, Joberteh

Lagos police command yesterday paraded an Uber driver, Williams Igana and five others as suspected killers of 2006 Gulder Ultimate Search winner, Hector Joberteh.

He was shot dead at his Oko-Oba, Agege, Lagos home on September 4, after gunmen trailed him from the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, where he picked up a relative.


 His father was also wounded by the gunmen.
Acting Police Commissioner, Imohimi Edgal told reporters that Joberteh’s phone was recovered from them.​
Edgal said Igana conveyed the suspects in his car to Joberteh’s home. But the driver denied the allegation.

According to him, he drove some men who threatened him with a gun from Cement Bus Stop on the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway, to Abeokuta, but had no idea they had killed anyone.

He said: “I was looking for an Android phone when my brother, Valentine, linked me with one JK. It was JK that called me to drive them to Yaba from Cement. I charged them N10,000 but was paid N8,000.
“The next day, JK called me again to take them to Abeokuta and I charged them N20,000. On the way, we stopped at Sango and two other men joined us. We later stopped by at a nearby bush and JK ordered one of the men to bring out a nylon bag which had a gun inside.
“That was when I tried running away but I was threatened and ordered back into the car.
“I was later arrested through my younger brother, who had gone to sell a stolen phone later identified as the victim’s phone.”

The other suspects also claimed they knew nothing about the murder, adding that they were unfortunate to be at wrong places.


The acting commissioner said the command recovered six arms, including a Beretta and five locally made pistols, 16 live cartridges, six suspected stolen vehicles, motorcycles and illicit drugs, such as cocaine, heroin and marijuana from another operation.
Police source also disclosed that in the last one week, five suspected armed robbers, five kidnappers and three cultists were arrested. An armed robbery suspect died in a gun duel.

Jose Mourinho uncertain on Pogba return

Mourinho is unsure about the severity of Paul Pogba's hamstring injury but has no doubt that Manchester United have the midfield strength to cope without him.

But tuesday's long-awaited Champions League return came at a cost, with the 24-year-old only lasting 19 minutes of the 3-0 victory against Basel.
Pogba had been captaining United for the first time when he pulled up as he challenged for the ball.
He left Old Trafford on crutches and Mourinho is unsure about his absence beyond Sunday's Premier League clash with Everton.

"I don't know, I just know that it's a muscular injury," the United boss said.
"He's obviously out for the weekend match. The weekend match is the only match that I'm thinking about. I don't think further than that.
"So, for me, it's just simple and objective: he's not playing this weekend."
Immediately after the Basel match, Mourinho spoke of his expectation that Pogba - one of the stars of the first few weeks of the season - faces a "few weeks" out.

Despite that the United boss has no doubt his players will step up to the plate.
Michael Carrick, appointed captain in the summer, has yet to play a competitive minute this term, while Ander Herrera - left out of the squad on Tuesday - and Marouane Fellaini offer alternatives.

"We have players and we have players waiting for an opportunity," Mourinho said.
"Because we have started the season really well and with one match per week, [with] no need of resting, [to make] changes, we were basically going with the same players.
"But there are good players more than ready to play, so, honestly, we miss Pogba, we need Pogba, but we have good players.

"Herrera, Fellaini, Carrick - they are waiting for a real chance to start matches and to play matches from the beginning, and they are ready.
"So this is also our way of thinking. We lost important players last season during the season and during crucial moments of the season and we were not crying or making excuses about that. 

That's just football.
"Squads are there to try to cope with these kind of situations and we know that for a few matches - I don't know how many, I really cannot tell you how many I expect - but we are going to play without Pogba a few matches."

Identical twin sisters gave birth at the same hospital within hours of each other last month, CBS Boston reports. 

 Mount Auburn Hospital records revealed that Rachael McGeoch and Beccy Pistone were excited when they found out their due dates were only 13 days apart.
"We talked about how awesome it would be to go into labor the same day and be in the same place," McGeoch said.

Facing the challenge was that McGeoch lives in Charlestown and Pistone lives about two hours away in Brewster on Cape Cod.
"I wanted to give birth by midwife so I chose Mount Auburn Hospital," said McGeoch. "Hoped to convince my sister to do the same, but she lives on the Cape, so she and her husband wanted to have their baby on Cape Cod."

However McGeoch's due date of Aug. 1 came and went. She was induced on Aug. 13, which just happened to be her sister's due date. That's when Pistone and her husband William decided to drive all the way from Cape Cod so the sisters could be together.
"We thought if we could just get together then we would both go into labor," McGeoch said.
It worked! The two sisters gave birth in adjoining rooms at Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge.

Interestingly,  McGeoch delivered little William Charles Bubenicek at 10:41 p.m., and at 6:54 p.m., Pistone gave birth to Andi Isabella Pistone on August 15.

Shocking !!! Man on 10-month jail term for arson freed after 11 years

James Ward's family who spent 11 years in prison even though he was jailed for 10 months have vowed to carry on fighting the rules that kept him inside.

The man was given an indeterminate Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) which meant he would only be released when officials deemed it safe.
The 32-year-old received the sentence because he had set fire to his bed while serving a one-year jail term for another offence.

His family had made repeated pleas to the Parole Board to release him on the grounds of his repeated self-harm and mental health, but all of their requests were refused.
Ward was finally told he would be freed on Thursday morning, bringing an end to years of battling by his sister April.

IPPs were introduced in 2005 but scrapped in 2012 after then justice secretary Ken Clarke called them a "stain" on the judicial system.

Ms Ward told Sky News she was thrilled when she got the call confirming her brother was coming home.
"I just couldn't stop crying. I was just so overwhelmed with emotion," she said. "It's taken 12 years of hard fighting, for us as a family and for James. It was all emotions today."
Ms Ward said her brother is not planning anything beyond just being able to experience life outside prison - but they are determined to prevent others having to go through what they say they have suffered.

She added: "It ruins the good times, because even when you are trying to celebrate something, it was in the back of my mind that James was sat in a cell, or even in segregation or alone. That... has been absolutely heartbreaking.
"James dreams of walking down the street - the novelty of going to a park. His dreams are very small, as they would be if you had been in prison for 12 years. Together we'll make sure those dreams get bigger."
Ms Ward said she is going to "fight IPP to the very end" with her brother to help other families affected by these sentences.

In a letter sent to his family last year, James said he was losing hope of ever being released.
He had written: "I'm banged up in my cell, all that's in here is a bed, a cupboard, a toilet and a sink.
"I'm going crazy, mum, and I've had enough of this place."

The Deputy Superintendent of Police at Obantoko police station, Rasheed Olaleye, where the incident was reported
 confirmed the incident but declined to give further comments, saying that the DPO would be in the best position to handle the case.
