Former South Yorkshire Police worker must pay back £100,000
A former South Yorkshire Police worker who stole thousands of pounds from the force has been ordered to pay back a further £100, Fletcher, 55, of Boundary Walk in Rotherham, was jailed for two years eight months in 2018 for four counts of theft, and told to pay back £47, order has since been reviewed, and a judge at Sheffield Crown Court said on 8 July that Fletcher must pay another £108, she does not pay the total in three months she could be jailed again, police said. Fletcher worked in Attercliffe Police Station's property store and in 2013 a "large amount of cash" was seized during a police investigation, the force said she counted and banked the money for the force but she actually banked £98,500 to her own account with £1,500 into the force account. She left the force in 2015. The theft came to light in summer 2017, police said, when a Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) investigation connected to the seized money requested the cash but it could not be investigation was launched by the Yorkshire and Humber Regional Organised Crime Unit (YHROCU) and Fletcher was told to pay £47, said the original 2018 order had been reconsidered and Fletcher must now pay the extra sum calculated from assets acquired since the first confiscation she fails to pay in three months she could face a 12-month prison Supt James Axe, the force's head of professional standards, said police employees should behave "professionally, honestly and with integrity" but "Fletcher showed none of these traits" and had "behaved disgracefully".He said the money recovered by YHROCU's "vital work" means more money is secured for community grants and police training so criminals cannot keep benefitting.

Mum tells court of moment she found son, 3, with ‘blood and marks' after boy was mauled to death in horror dog attack
THE mum of a boy who was killed in a brutal dog attack has told a court of the moment she found her son covered in blood and marks. Daniel Twigg, 3, suffered horrific injuries in the "furious and prolonged" attack at Carr Farm in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, on May 15, 2022. His parents Mark Twigg, 43, and Joanne Bedford, 37, are currently on trial at Manchester Crown Court, accused of Daniel's manslaughter. The prosecution allege the couple's negligence meant Daniel was "alone and unsupervised" when he entered a yard containing two large, "dangerous", and "powerful" 50kg guard dogs. Recalling the "petrifying" moment she saw Daniel's body for the first time after the attack, she told the court how she had left her son in the kitchen with his older sister while she went to find a pair of shorts for him upstairs. After first stopping in the bathroom for an unspecified amount of time, she was then about to enter Daniel's bedroom to grab his shorts when she heard his sister let out a blood-curdling scream. She told the court that her daughter was crying out: "Mum, mum, Daniel's in the [dog] pen. He is face down and he's got blood everywhere." As the memory came back to her, Bedford reportedly burst into tears, testifying she then rushed to the dog pen to get the canines out of the way. She said: "I sat down on the floor with Daniel and asked his sister to get my phone so I could call for an ambulance. "Daniel was face down on the floor, he had gotten puncture marks all over his neck and he was bleeding. I was petrified and scared for my little boy." The two dogs involved - a Cane Corso called Sid and a Boerboel type dog named Tiny - belonged to farm owner Matthew Brown. However, it is alleged that the couple were looking after them at the time of the attack and should have known the risk they posed to Daniel. Baby is mauled to death by family dog after mom turned back to pick up laundry before desperately trying to stop attack It is also claimed that the couple had ignored warnings from the RSPCA that the animals were a danger. Bedford was seven-months pregnant at the time of the attack and struggled to run down the stairs after hearing her daughter's screams. She said that Tiny was standing near the shed while Sid was towering over Daniel and moving towards him. After telling him to get off the boy, she then found Daniel face down covered in blood and marks. She recalled feeling "scared for my little boy" while trying to keep the dogs at bay. CCTV from a neighbour's property showed Daniel inside the pen at 12.50pm, the jury heard, and he was seen moving around inside for a few moments before disappearing from view. At the same time, a dog in an adjacent pen became 'excited, bouncing up and down in animated fashion'. A 999 call was made by Daniel's mother almost 20 minutes later after he'd been inside the dog pen, the jury heard previously, and while it's not known for certain whether both dogs were involved in the attack Sid was the 'likely' culprit. 'DANIEL'S DEATH WAS AN UTTERLY FORESEEABLE CONSEQUENCE' John Elvidge KC, prosecuting, said: "No-one suggests that these catastrophic events were intended or desired by his parents but this attack and Daniel's death were utterly foreseeable consequences of negligently allowing Daniel to enter Sid and Tiny's pen alone and unsupervised." Daniel's parents had a 'long association' with the farm, owned by a Matthew Brown, with Twigg working as an odd job man and Bedford keeping horses there. The couple, who have two other children, leased the farmhouse from Brown in March 2022 after he had been remanded to prison when his girlfriend Deniqua Westwood made a complaint to police. Westwood, who operated a puppy breeding business, moved out and but it was agreed the guard dogs would remain and the couple would look after them. Twigg was paid £450 to attend to the day-to-day security, running of the farm, and the dogs' care. The couple, who also had another eight or nine dogs to look after, including three of their own, stayed on at the farm despite having a home in Blackley, Manchester, when Brown was released on bail, the jury heard. The pair continued to have responsibility for the dogs over weekends when he was away, with Daniel attacked on one such weekend, argued the prosecution. The trial continues.

Malaysian police arrest more than dozen men in raid of 'gay party'
KUALA LUMPUR, July 17 (Reuters) - Malaysian authorities arrested more than a dozen men in the northeastern state of Kelantan last month during a late night raid of a "gay party", a police official said on Thursday. Homosexuality is a crime in Muslim-majority Malaysia, and rights groups have warned of growing intolerance towards lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. Kelantan state police chief Mohd Yusoff Mamat said police arrested 20 men after responding to a public tip-off and conducting surveillance of a rented property in the state capital Kota Bharu in June. "During questioning, they admitted to being part of a gay group," he told a press conference. Mohd Yusoff said although authorities found no evidence that sexual activities had occurred during the gathering, police discovered condoms and HIV medication on the premises. Police charged three of the men for possession of homosexual pornographic material on their mobile phones, Mohd Yusoff said. But authorities could not prosecute the other men as there were no specific laws or physical evidence to charge them with, he added. "We are worried about such behaviour... We will continue to monitor the movement of gay groups," he said. The LGBTQ community has faced increasing scrutiny in Malaysia, where sodomy is a crime and Islamic sharia laws are in place banning same-sex acts and cross-dressing. The multi-ethnic, multi-faith country has a dual-track legal system with Islamic laws for Muslims running alongside civil laws. Authorities halted a music festival in 2023, after the frontman of British pop band The 1975 kissed a male bandmate onstage and criticised Malaysia's anti-LGBTQ laws. In 2018, two women were caned in a courtroom watched by dozens of people after they were convicted of attempting lesbian sex. Rights groups Justice for Sisters and Amnesty International said LGBTQ content accounted for almost half of all banned publications in Malaysia between 2020 and May this year.
