Uber driver mum's panic plea caught on camera before passenger shoots her dead
Mum-of-four Christina Spicuzza was trying to earn some extra cash when she was brutally kidnapped and shot xxxx Mum-of-four Christina Spicuzza, 38, was working as an Uber driver to make some extra money for her family. She was engaged to her partner Brandon Marto, and they lived in Monroeville, Pennsylvania with Christina's four children. Christina, known as Christi by loved ones, had been with Brandon eight years. Their relationship had a rocky start because Brandon had struggled with alcohol addiction. But, typical of Christina's compassionate character, she supported him through, and the couple were stronger than ever. Brandon had vowed to spend the rest of their lives making it up to her. On the night of 10 February 2022, Uber driver Christina headed off in her silver Nissan for a busy Friday shift. At 9.15pm, she picked up a male passenger dressed in a dark sweatshirt with the hood pulled up over his head and also wearing a face mask– as part of the Covid protocol at the time. His name was Calvin Crew. As Christina set off from Pitcairn for Penn Hills, Crew, 22, suddenly pulled out a gun and pressed it to the back of her head. Christina reached around to see what it was and felt the weapon. Dashcam footage was recording the terrifying ride in video and audio. 'You've got to be joking,' Christina said, before realising the severity of the situation. Crew grabbed hold of her ponytail tightly and told her to keep driving. The atmosphere in the car changed, as Christina began to fear for her life. 'Come on, I have a family,' Christina pleaded. 'I'm begging you. I have four kids.' Crew replied, 'I got a family too.' Then he told her to keep driving as he snatched her phone. Christina begged him several times to remove the gun from her head. 'Please take that off of me,' she pleaded. 'Do what I say, and everything will be alright,' he responded. Suddenly, at 9.34pm, Crew spotted the dashcam in the car. He reached out and grabbed it – which is when the recording stopped. That night, when Christina didn't return from work, her worried fiancé reported her missing. Police found Christina's abandoned car the following morning but there was no sign of the mum – and without the dashcam, there was no evidence of her kidnapping. Tragically, later that day, a member of the public reported finding the body of a woman in woodland in Monroeville. It was Christina. She had been killed with a single gunshot wound to the back of the head. A 9mm casing lay close by. Christina's loved ones were heartbroken. At her home, a makeshift memorial grew with candles and flowers, while the community were in shock that someone had been killed in cold blood on their doorstep. Criminal record Investigators found the dashcam close to where Crew had wanted to be dropped off. The harrowing footage of Christina's terror ride was examined, and police finally had a picture of what had happened that night. Crew was arrested. He had a criminal record and was banned from owning a firearm due to the seriousness of his offences as a juvenile. Crew claimed that Christina had taken him to where he wanted to go and he'd got out of the car, leaving her alive, and then got a bus later that night. But the dashcam footage was damning and no surveillance captured him getting on or off a bus. He was charged with murder, robbery and tampering with evidence. At first, Crew was facing the death penalty, but Christina's family asked the prosecution to make the maximum sentence life in prison without parole because of Christina's religious beliefs. Her compassion continued to shine from beyond the grave. At the trial this year, prosecutors told the court that Christina had been kidnapped, and GPS proved she had been forced to drive through several neighbourhoods for an hour. The dashcam footage was played and the horror of her final moments was clear to see. Christina had begged for her life and Crew had told her she just had to do what he said – but he killed her anyway. It's unclear what happened when Christina finally stopped the vehicle. The prosecution said it was likely that Crew had marched her into the woods and shot her in the head. Afterwards, he'd accessed several payment and banking apps on Christina's phone to get money. Overwhelming evidence During the trial, the jury were given overwhelming digital evidence of the events. Crew's girlfriend at the time testified that Crew had booked the Uber ride on her account. There was the dashcam footage from inside the car, clearly showing Crew holding a gun to Christina's head. His fingerprint was in the car and mobile phone GPS records mapped the movements. The jury deliberated for less than an hour before finding Crew guilty of first-degree murder, robbery, kidnapping to facilitate a felony, evidence tampering and firearm charges. The judge noted that the verdict had come three years to the day that Christina had been killed. At the sentencing, Christina's family were given the chance to share their victim impact statements. Crew refused to attend – which fuelled the anger in the court even more. Brandon said that Crew was a 'coward who couldn't be here today to face this'. He added, 'Christi was everything to me.' Christina's mum, Cindy Spicuzza, reminded Crew of his victim's compassion. 'You should have the death penalty, but we showed mercy,' she said, because of Christina's religious beliefs. 'You executed her. No mercy, no remorse. It was abhorrent. It was murder.' Now four children had lost their mother. Crew's lawyer said that he had lived a 'childhood surrounded by violence and neglect' and was 'intellectually and socially challenged'. Crew, now 25,was sentenced to life in prison without the chance of parole. He was given an additional 13 to 26 years for kidnapping and robbery. Crew insists he is innocent and plans on appealing his sentence. Christina had simply been trying to make some extra money and had been kidnapped and executed. Her murder raised conversations about the safety of Uber drivers and whether vehicles should have barriers between the front and the back for added protection against the strangers they pick up. Christina's death was deeply shocking. A predator got into her car and stole her future.

Prisoners taught bushcraft skills worthy of I'm a Celebrity
Courses in wild skills, bushcraft and survival techniques cover how to make shelters, forage for food, tie knots and use a compass for inmates at HMP Isis in South East London Prisoners are being taught survival skills worthy of the I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! jungle, but one key element has been banned. Courses in wild skills, bushcraft and survival techniques cover how to make shelters, forage for food, tie knots and use a compass. But one key component of the bushcraft toolkit is outlawed: knives. The Bear Grylls and Ray Mears-style sessions are held at HMP Isis in South East London, which holds 622 inmates and has been plagued with weapons and gangs. The class would be great preparation for stars going into the Aussie jungle on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!, hosted by Ant and Dec. A source said: 'These sessions raised a few eyebrows – we are in Thamesmead, not Tasmania. But anything which helps these men turn their back on crime is a positive.' The course was singled out for praise by a team from an Independent Monitoring Board, which visits prisons to make sure they are being run properly. Its report said: 'Soft skills training for prisoners was part of a number of initiatives and training.' Inmates can sign up for other courses run with a further education college including motorbike repairs, waste management and broadcasting. It comes as prisoners at another jail are bussed out to the coast for sea-fishing exercises, casting lines from the shore. A Prison Service spokesman said: 'These activities are part of a rehabilitation programme, ultimately making our communities safer.'

Fix our woeful rollout of EV charging to rescue our car industry
Cyclists can drive motorists round the bend. Small wonder then that car bosses were peeved when Rachel Reeves gave them £400 million to build electric vehicle chargers in last week's spending review, compared to the £616 million grant to maintain cycle lanes. To be fair, once you add in benefits across other ongoing government schemes, a total of £1.4 billion has been earmarked to support uptake of zero-emission vehicles. Not that this stopped the car industry complaining. Senior figures in the industry were quick to demand 'more substantive measures to incentivise private consumer demand' if our EV targets are to be met. The obvious complaint is that a shortage of subsidies is holding back motorists' full-throttle embrace of electric vehicles. Yes, Britain's car industry is in the grip of a net-zero-infused crisis. Production is languishing at 70-year lows — with the exception of the Covid paralysis in 2020 — and the blame has been placed squarely at EV production quotas. So what's the answer? How about a return to lavish incentives to jumpstart demand, as the likes of Ford and Nissan have advocated? The government has resisted thus far — and rightly so. There has been much debate over the decision to outlaw the sale of most new petrol or diesel-powered cars at the end of the decade. Boris Johnson introduced the 2030 ban; Rishi Sunak pushed it back to 2035; Sir Keir Starmer has dragged it forward to 2030 again. But the time for flip-flopping is over. Britain has charted its course for EVs. Now we must stick to it. Achieving this goal — five years ahead of the EU, we should remember — rightly requires carrots and sticks. In terms of carrots, the primary incentive is that workers buying a company car benefit from tax incentives through a salary-sacrifice scheme that is so generous, it accounts for the lion's share of new EV registrations. As for sticks, supply is being forced up by the government's controversial Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate. Under this, car manufacturers must sell a certain percentage of EVs each year. This started at 22 per cent in 2024, and will be 28 per cent this year, ratcheting up to 80 per cent in 2030 and 100 per cent by 2035. Manufacturers will be allowed to sell new hybrid vehicles from 2030-35. Until recently, failing to hit the quota would have resulted in carmakers being slapped with a £15,000-per-car penalty. They escaped these fines last year by discounting heavily to stimulate demand, costing them an estimated £4 billion. Some might argue that the scheme is working perfectly, then. Nevertheless, Starmer has now agreed to reduce the per-car penalty to £12,000, alongside other flexible measures that could mean the fines are reduced further or negated completely. The introduction of grants to subsidise new EVs beyond company car schemes might, on the face of it, make sense, however. The No 1 barrier to purchasing an EV is that they are more expensive than petrol or diesel-powered alternatives, according to polling by YouGov from last August. Crucially, though, we may not be so far from parity. An EV was 51 per cent costlier than a petrol or diesel equivalent in 2018; this fell to 18 per cent in 2024, according to analysis by JATO Dynamics. That gap could soon disappear as a tidal wave of cheaper Chinese EVs floods the UK market. We will need to park the geopolitics of this, but it's hard to see how this isn't good for consumers from a purely financial perspective. Which brings us to what we should be concentrating on: charging points. That same YouGov poll — in which, by the way, 49 per cent of respondents said they would never buy an EV — revealed that the second-biggest barrier to going electric was a 'lack of charging infrastructure'. Yes, there are roughly 80,000 EV chargers in the UK, but the pace at which they are being installed is slowing. The compound growth rate between 2021 and 2024 was 37.5 per cent; in the first five months of this year, the number has increased by only 10 per cent. The slowdown counted its first casualty last week. Pod Point, which listed on the London Stock Exchange in 2021 at a £350 million valuation, was rescued by French energy firm EDF in a deal worth little more than £10 million. The £400 million that Reeves has set aside in the Comprehensive Spending Review for charging is an important first step. But money alone is not the answer. State aid might be best reserved for funding chargers in locations where the operation is wholly uneconomic. Yet talk to those in the EV charging industry and they will tell you that receiving timely planning permission and access to the electricity grid capacity are as important, if not more important than taxpayer handouts. One senior executive recently recounted the tale of a company behind a prospective charging site near Gatwick airport, which was told by officials that it would not be hooked up to the grid until 2037. 'We don't want grants — we want certainty,' said another. Then there is the inverse relationship between wealth and the cost of running an EV. An estimated 40 per cent of Britons live in a home without off-street parking, forcing them to charge their car at public chargers, which attract VAT at a rate of 20 per cent. Those with off-street parking, likely to be better off, can charge using their home supply, upon which VAT is levied at 5 per cent. For a Labour government seeking to champion 'working people', this discrepancy seems bonkers — but the Treasury may not see it that way. Crucial to driving the car industry out of its current malaise is a renewed focus on charging. Otherwise, the danger is that drivers will be running out of power left, right and centre. Which might anger them more than cyclists. Oliver Shah is away
