Illegal immigrant in jet suicide bid

An illegal immigrant has been rushed to hospital today after a bungled suicide attempt as he was being booted out of Britain.

The man was being flown back to Jamaica from Gatwick when he dramatically tried to slash his throat with a razor blade he had hidden inside his mouth. But his bid to kill himself failed, leaving him with just a minor cut to his neck.

The flight, which was carrying 449 passengers and 17 crew, has been put back until 12.45pm tomorrow.

A Virgin Atlantic spokeswoman said: "The safety and welfare of our crew and passengers is Virgin Atlantic's top priority.

I think it is strange the man was able to smuggle the razor into the plane. Whenever I go by plane, I get scanned and I have to put everything metal into a basket that gets scanned as well, even my belt. How did this man manage to get the razor inside? One would suspect the metal detectors to detect it.

I am happy that he didn’t succeed though. Think of the children that were on the plane, they would have been traumatized if a man would have blooded to death before their eyes.

Robin Garbutt calls 999 after murdering wife

Robin Garbutt killed his wife by hitting her three times on the head with a metal bar. However, he tried to convince the police that there had been another man who threatened him with a gun. He called 999 to try to avoid being suspected and convicted for the murder.

Garbutt, 45, has been convicted of Diana Garbutt’s murder at their home above their shop on 23 March 2010 following a four week trial at Teesside Crown Court.

He was sentenced to life imprisonment and will serve a minimum of 20 years before being considered for parole.

It’s ridiculous that this man slaughtered his wife and tries to get away with it by telling a fake story to the police. His wife had been unfaithful, but that’s not a reason to kill her. He is such a coward, calling 999 after murdering his wife. I think it is right that he has been sentenced to life imprisonment. That way, he can think about what he did. He will have to go through the torture his conscious will put him through. That will be the only justice done.

Family of boy, 6, killed in hit and run urge driver to come forward

The family of 6-year-old Owen Wight asks the driver who fatally hit the boy and drove off to step forward.

Owen was left for dead by the driver after he was hit last Saturday, less than half a mile away from his home in Wakefield. Owen’s father, 33-year-old Neil Wight, recalled the terrible moment he found his son. “I got there and I went over to Owen and I was holding him and talking to him.

“I was holding his hand and saying 'Owen, if you can hear me, please don’t leave us. I love you so much, you’re my little soldier.’ But when I looked at his face I knew really that he was gone. I knew from that blank look that we had lost him."

Mrs Wightman said: “We would like to say to whoever has done this, please come forward because he has left two brothers behind.” Owen’s family hopes the driver comes forward so they can have some closure.

It’s terrible to hit somebody and just drive off! It might have been an accident, but don’t be a coward and drive off. Face the fact you made a mistake. A horrible mistake, but it’s a mistake. Those things can happen. If it really was an accident, there’s not going to be a trial or a punishment. I can’t wrap my mind around the fact that the driver just drove off.

I understand that Owen’s family wants to know who did it, because knowing the facts is the first step to recovery. It’s part of the mourning process. I really hope the driver comes forward so especially Owen’s brothers can give a face to the monster that killed their little sibling.

Natalie Portman: Black Swan star gives birth to baby boy

The 30-year-old Black Swan actress Natalie Portman gave birth to a boy. People Magazine, who brought the news to the public, gave no clues to when or where Portman gave birth to her son. 

Portman announced in December 2010 that she was pregnant and had plans to marry Bejamin Millepied, 33, a well-respected dancer.

The actress won an academy award for her role in last year’s Black Swan and also won a Bafta award for best actress.

Thought Natalie and Benjamin are known for keeping their private life private, they recently said they were thrilled to become parents.

It is a wonderful thing when a child comes into the world. I think it’s a wonderful gift to Natalie and Benjamin. I hope they are happy and healthy, wherever they are. I think Natalie will be a great mom, because all I’ve seen of her are a warm heart and personality. I wish Natalie and Benjamin all the best in the world and I hope they will get the chance to enjoy their new son, without the annoyance of flashing camera’s wherever they go.

Boy, aged NINE, caught drink driving... but police let him go because he can't be held responsible

In Cumbria, the police arrested a boy after they found him drunk and driving. When they found out about his age however, they let him go because they feel he can’t be held responsible for his actions. This, because the boy in question was only nine years old. The boy was just one out of more than a thousand of under eighteens arrested in the north of England over the past two years. The Cumbria police said to try their hardest to keep the roads safe of any young people driving under the influence of alcohol.

This shocks me. I think it is ridiculous that children of  the age of nine can get their hands on alcohol, let alone on a car. Where did they get those things? Don’t they have parents that tell them it’s dangerous to drive without a license, let alone driving under the influence of alcohol? I think the boy has to be held partially responsible for his actions, by giving him a minor punishment. There should be a way to teach him it is irresponsible behaviour and that he brought other people in danger. I also think the parents should be held responsible for this.

Killer of 15-year-old boasts 'I done him' to witness

After killing another boy, the assailant waved his arms in the air while triumphantly yelling "I've done him!" The police said the victim was attacked in a confrontation with other youths just after 4pm yesterday. Paramedics took the boy to the hospital, but despite everything they tried to do to save the boy, he died at 10.30pm. An eyewitness of the crime saw the killer run past. At first, he thought it was a joke because when the man asked the boy what he'd done, the boy answered: "I stabbed him!" An officer said that they do not yet know what triggered the killing.

It is something ridiculous that children just start killing each other. It's like we're living in 400 B.C. where everyone had to kill to survive. I don't know how this child got his hands on a knife, but I do know that it's ridiculous he had access to it this easily. I hope he gets sentenced to a life in jail so he knows what he did. He ended another boys' life, probably over nothing really serious. Where is the world going when even children can't live in peace anymore?

Long may she rain! Slimline Kate Middleton gets into shape as she braves the elements for last engagement ahead of big day

During heavy falling rain, Prince William and Kate Middleton walk through the Darwen, Lancashire for the opening of a new school. Kate wears a streamlined shape suit like a real style queen instead of the floaty, A-line silhouette she has gotten so familiar with. She walks around with an oversized black umbrella up high which she carries herself. She and William have a lot of people to visit and a lot of things to do, but Kate looks her best. She even lost some weight for her big day. The wedding will be an official public holiday across the UK.

Kate Middleton was, as we all know, a pretty normal English girl, she just happened to know the prince of Wales. But thankfully, she stayed that same normal girl, even though she is going to marry the next king of England. She carries her own umbrella and she holds it up high so she can see the crowd. I think this is great. She obviously cares for the English people, because she pays attention to them. It is a bit of a shame that she lost weight for her wedding, because she already was extremely slim. Kate is and will hopefully stay a normal British girl.
