Teenagers charged with murder at seaside resort appear in court
A 16-year-old girl and two boys, aged 14 and 15, have appeared in court charged with the murder of a man in a seaside resort. Kent police were called to the Warden Bay Road area of Leysdown-on-Sea, on the Isle of Sheppey, shortly after 7pm on Sunday, following an altercation involving a small number of people. Alexander Cashford, 49, was confirmed dead at the scene, with the force saying multiple injuries to his body were reported. The three teenagers, all from London, are thought to have been on holiday in Kent at the time of the attack. They were jointly charged with murder on Tuesday and appeared at Medway Magistrates on Wednesday afternoon. The defendants were accompanied in the well of the court by their parents, while other family members watched from the public gallery. Prosecuting, Dylan Bradshaw said: 'What we know is that Alexander Cashford, a 49-year-old male, shortly after 7pm on Sunday August 10, went to the beach area of Warden's Bay. 'About an hour and five mins later, he was pronounced dead – during that period, he was the subject of a violent assault.' The attack is alleged to involve a glass bottle and rocks being thrown, the court heard. The 16-year-old and 14-year-old both cried during the hearing while the 15-year-old looked at the floor, rocking slightly. A 12-year-old girl, arrested on Tuesday in Basildon, Essex, is still in custody. The girl and two boys, who cannot be named for legal reasons, have been remanded into youth detention accommodation to appear on Thursday at Maidstone Crown Court.

Michigan merchant marine instructor pleads guilty to defrauding the Coast Guard
A Michigan man has pleaded guilty to a charge of falsifying records related to merchant mariner credentials. Mel Stackpoole, 62, of St. Clair County entered his plea Tuesday in federal court to one count of knowingly altering and falsifying records and documents, "with the intent to impede the proper administration of a matter within the jurisdiction of the United States Coast Guard," the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Michigan said in its announcement. Sentencing hearing is set for Dec. 18. Stackpoole faces a penalty of up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The result "endangered the safety of everyone who uses the waterways of our Great Lakes by deliberately circumnavigating the Coast Guard's training and certification protocols and facilitating the issuance of credentials to unskilled and unqualified mariners." U.S. Attorney Jerome F. Gorgon Jr. said. At the time of the circumstances related in the case, Stackpoole was the owner and lead instructor of Great Lakes Charter Training, a marine training school that provided Coast Guard-approved training for merchant mariner credentials. In August 2020, the district attorney's office said Stackpoole provided the students enrolled in one of his classes with less than 50 hours of classroom instruction rather than the required 80 hours. "He also instructed the students to provide false information regarding their prior sea service, medical history, and recreational drug use on their MMC applications to the Coast Guard," the press release said. "Further, Stackpoole improperly provided the students with the answers to certain examination questions; changed students' incorrect test answers into correct answers; and inflated the students' test scores in order to reflect passing, rather than failing, grades." The students involved did get course completion certifications, "falsely signifying their successful completion of the course to the Coast Guard," the report said. This case was investigated by the U.S. Coast Guard and the Coast Guard Investigative Service. "Integrity is the cornerstone of our maritime profession. When that trust is broken, it jeopardizes individual careers and the safety and security of our waterways. The U.S. Coast Guard stands firm in ensuring that those who choose to deceive or falsify their merchant mariner credential, or those who subvert the credentialing process, will be held accountable," said Captain Richard Armstrong, Commander, U.S. Coast Guard Sector Detroit.
