Rapist Flees Embassy
The escape of a rapist being processed for deportation at the Pakistan High Commission has caused a diplomatic row. Officials there have lodged a formal complaint that UK officials failed to alert staff that he was dangerous. Police have been hunting for Imtiaz Hussain, 44, since he climbed out of a toilet window at the London embassy and escaped last Friday. The UK Border Agency said it never commented on operational issues but the police were told immediately.
Booze Sold 'Too Young'
Two thirds of shops targeted in an undercover 'sting' operation sold alcohol to underage youngsters, police have said. Officers from Dyfed-Powys Police worked with teenagers aged 15 to find out how many shops would sell them alcohol. The experiment in some parts of Carmarthenshire saw six of the nine shops tested serving children without asking for any form of identification.
London Killed Probed
Police have launched a murder investigation following the death of a man in Abbeywood. Police were called at about 9.30pm Friday 30 October to reports of a man stabbed in Tavy Bridge, London and on arrival police discovered a 22 year-old man suffering from stab wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene at just after 10pm and he has been formally identified as Moses Nteyoho, 22, of SE2. A post mortem examination held at the Princes Royal Hospital, Farnborough, gave cause of death as haemorrhaging from a stab wound to the heart.
Robber Jailed
A man has been jailed for 15 months at Wood Green Crown Court after being convicted of attempted robbery on a 16 year-old boy. Philip Palmer, 23, of Kings Road N22, pleaded guilty at Wood Green Crown Court on 28 September to one count of attempted robbery.
