Peter Tobin, 63, of Johnstone, Renfrewshire, was seen digging a hole in the garden of his then home in Margate, Kent, in the summer of 1991, Chelmsford Crown Court heard.

http://www.cambs.police.uk/news/newsitem.asp?NewsID=5587 "Today, at Huntingdon Crown Court, Judge Nicholas Coleman handed Inman an indeterminate sentence saying he would serve at least seven years before being considered for parole. Then he will not be released unless he is not considered a danger to the public." That is the second half descent sentence i have posted today. Are we seeing a change in sentencing, or is this just a blip?

Sorry peoples, i would not stop for them. If you want police powers, then attempt to become a Police officer, not this backhanded way. You may find getting in more difficult then you can handle…

Two fraudsters behind an 'abysmal' scam were paid to take driving tests on behalf of dozens of cheats - but failed most of them. Ali Abdallah, 28, and Muktar Nuren, 22, offered their services on a 'no pass, no fee' basis, then proceeded to fail 33 of the 43 tests they completed. They passed just 10 of 27 practical tests and three of 16 theory exams. Benjamin Myers, acting for Nuren, said 'it's surprising anyone wanted to use these defendants', while Abdallah's own lawyer, Joe Boyd, described the pair's efforts as 'abysmal' and labelled their scam 'spectacularly unsophisticated'. 'Abysmal' scam: Ali Abdallah (left) and Muktar Nuren (right) were jailed yesterday for thre…
