Paranoid schizophrenic father, 23, who threw his son into a river because he thought the 11-month-old was 'turning into the devil' had 'begged to be sectioned three days earlier', review finds

A paranoid schizophrenic father 'begged to be sectioned three days' before he threw his son into a river because he thought the 11-month-old was 'turning into the devil'.  Zak Bennett-Eko, 23, was sentenced to a hospital order last year after being found guilty of the manslaughter by diminished responsibility of his son Zakari. He threw the 11-month-old from a bridge into the River Irwell in Radcliffe in Bury, Greater Manchester, on the afternoon of September 11, 2019. During his trial, the court heard Bennett-Eko had gone to North Manchester General Hospital days before his son's death and asked to be sectioned but left before being treated. A serious case review published by Bury Integrated Safeguarding Partnership found Bennett-Eko had been discharged from a learning disability service after moving between Bury and Manchester. Zak Bennett-Eko , 23, was sentenced to a hospital order last year after being found guilty of the manslaughter by diminished responsibilit

Jordan Jasien, from Dallas, Texas, claimed her brazen flatmate was spotted rummaging in her and her other housemate Katie's rooms while they were out after she set up hidden cameras. Jordan, 26, claimed she was left open-mouthed after the footage showed the woman in their rooms multiple times in the space of just one week. The delivery driver decided to covertly set up the cameras after she said her vibrator and other items went missing from her room, while she claimed she later found the purple sex toy underneath her pillow.  Jordan Jasien, from Dallas, Texas, said her flatmate was spotted rummaging in her and her housemate Katie's rooms after she set up hidden cameras (pictured: the woman in Katie's room)  Jordan , 26, claimed she was left open-mouthed after the footage showed the housemate in their rooms multi

Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyer says she should be freed from jail now too after Bill Cosby's release because a prosecutor 'promised Jeffrey Epstein she wouldn't be charged'

Ghislaine Maxwell's attorney claims she should be let out of jail now because Bill Cosby has been freed, claiming prosecutors promised not to charge her when they gave Jeffrey Epstein a sweetheart deal in 2010.   Cosby was freed on Wednesday because of a promise a prosecutor made in 2005 that he would not be charged. He went on to incriminate himself in a civil case and another prosecutor, years later, used those remarks to charge him.  Pennsylvania's Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday that it was unconstitutional and that had he not thought he was beyond reproach, he wouldn't have made the incriminating remarks.   Writing for The New York Daily News on Thursday, Maxwell's appellate lawyer David Oscar Markus, said prosecutors in New York should never have gone after her because years earlier, a different prosecutor in Florida promised Epstein in a deal that he wouldn't charge his 'co-conspirators.'   Maxwell wasn't named as one of the co-conspirators and i

Yet, while New York City should be leading the nation in the economic recovery from Covid, the City That Never Sleeps is facing its own epidemic. Shootings, rape, stabbings and general mayhem are running rampant throughout the Five Boroughs with authorities seemingly unable to do anything to stop it.

Felony assaults are up from 9,399 to 10,045.

New falls, please! Wimbledon fans brace for more dramatic slips and trips on the grass today... but sunny 70F should keep the court suitably dry

Tennis fans are bracing for another day of dramatic slips and trips at Wimbledon after several stars fell victim to slippery courts following several days of rain.  Andy Murray joined Novak Djokovic, Kei Nishikori, John Isner and Bianca Andreescu in slipping yesterday - a day after US superstar Serena Williams was forced to retire when she fell over on Centre Court and appeared to hurt her ankle.  Murray previously said after Miss Williams retired: 'Brutal for @serenawilliams but centre court is extremely slippy out there. Not easy to move out there.'  Rain has battered the opening week of the prestigious tournament - leading to experts dubbing it the wettest Wimbledon in a decade.  However, there is some hope for fans and players today with sunny 70F weather predicted and drier spells forecast for Thursday and Friday.  Photos showed brilliant blue skies and lush green courts as action got underway on Day 4 of the Championship.  Brollies and coats were packed away and replaced
