Driver who ran over and killed world's oldest marathoner Fauja Singh arrested
Police in India have arrested a man who allegedly rammed his car into a British national believed to be the oldest marathon runner. Fauja Singh died at the age of 114 after being hit by a car while trying to cross a road in his birth village Beas Pind, near Jalandhar district in the western state of Punjab on Monday. The Punjab police reportedly arrested Amritpal Singh Dhillon, 33, on Tuesday night from his home in Jalandhar district. The suspect allegedly told the police that he was returning from Bhogpur town when the incident took place. In their complaint, the police stated that the vehicle was speeding and instead of taking Singh to the hospital after the accident, the driver fled the scene. The suspect purchased a white Toyota Fortuner from a Punjab local after arriving in India from Canada about eight days ago, the Hindustan Times reported. Singh was on his way to a roadside eatery or a dhaba when the Fortuner struck him on Monday. Gurdeep Singh, who managed the eatery, told the Times of India that Singh used to eat at the dhaba every few days. Singh "had a simple meal and sat for tea. It was kind of a pilgrimage for him to be near his son's photo," he said. "People would often take selfies with him. We were proud to have him here," he added. Born in pre-independence Punjab in April 1911, Singh was said to have suffered from thin and weak legs as a child. The youngest of four children in a farming family, he was unable to walk until he was five years old. He moved to England and settled in Ilford, east London in 1992 with his son after the death of his wife Gian Kaur in Jalandhar. It was not until 2000, aged 89, that he took up running, quickly rising to fame by completing his first marathon in London in six hours and 54 minutes – 58 minutes faster than the previous world's best in the 90-plus age bracket. He made his name by beating a number of records for marathon times in multiple age brackets, and the centenarian became an inspiration for countless athletes by running marathons past the age of 100. His personal best came at the Toronto marathon in 2003, where he ran the course in just five hours 40 minutes. He then became the first centenarian to run a marathon eight years later and retired at the age of 101, after being a torchbearer for the London 2012 Olympics. Harmander Singh, Fauja Singh's coach at Sikhs In The City, said the club will be devoting all of its events until March next year to celebrate Singh's life and achievements. It asked mourners to donate to his clubhouse appeal rather than buy flowers. Indian prime minister Narendra Modi in his tribute said Singh was 'extraordinary because of his unique persona and the manner in which he inspired the youth of India on a very important topic of fitness". "He was an exceptional athlete with incredible determination. Pained by his passing away. My thoughts are with his family and countless admirers around the world," he posted on X. Labour MP Preet Kaur Gill also paid tribute to the runner, posting on X: 'Saddened to hear about the passing of Fauja Singh. 'I had the honour of meeting him. A truly inspiring man. His discipline, simple living, and deep humility left a lasting mark on me. A reminder that age is just a number, but attitude is everything. Rest in power, legend.'

Major update in case of slain college student Jillian Ludwig as parents slam 'brutal' waiting period
Nearly two years after the fatal shooting Belmont University student Jillian Ludwig a Tennessee judge ruled that the 'intellectually disabled' man accused the slaying is fit to stand trial. After nearly a month of deliberation, Davidson County Criminal Court Judge Steve Dozier made the monumental decision on Tuesday. Judge Dozier rejected arguments from 30-year-old Shaquille Taylor's defense team that he was not mentally competent to understand the charges against him. 'It's been brutal, just waiting and waiting, every day hoping and praying,' Jessica Ludwig, Jillian's mother, said following the ruling. 'It's such a relief to know that this is finally moving forward.' The decision comes after the tragic death of the 18-year-old Belmont University student who was killed by a stray bullet on a walk in the Edgehill neighborhood of Nashville on November 7, 2023. Taylor admitted to firing shots before handing the gun off to another person and was later arrested after police say he fired shots at a car, with one bullet striking Jillian in the head. The college student, a New Jersey native who was studying Music Business, was found about an hour after the shooting and was immediately rushed to the hospital where she succumbed to her injuries. Taylor, who has been accused of committing other violent crimes in the past, has since been charged with first-degree murder and evidence tampering in relation to Jillian's death. Despite his prior history of mental health evaluations, which had led to previous rulings of incompetency, Dozier determined that Taylor was now sufficiently able to understand the legal proceedings and participate in his defense. 'Defendant might not be of much assistance to counsel in a tax fraud case against him, but the Court is reasonably assured that Defendant is sufficiently competent to stand trial for the present cases,' Dozier wrote in his ruling, The Tennessean reported. The decision follows a multi-day competency hearing from June, where psychologists debated Taylor's ability to stand trial. Although he has a documented intellectual disability and low IQ scores - once as low as 56 - the Tennessee judge emphasized that IQ alone was not the deciding factor in his ruling. Instead, he considered Taylor's practical understanding of the legal process. The ruling has been met with mixed emotions from Jillian's family. 'I was shaking,' Jessica Ludwig said. 'I broke down in tears. It was a surge of emotions that went through me. That's the decision we've been praying for and hoping for.' The devastated mother added that she and her husband, Matt, have been anxiously awaiting the decision for more than a month and the delay, she says, has been excruciating. The Ludwig family had hoped for this ruling during the June hearing, which they believed should have been a clear decision. 'There was a lot of failures that led up to this,' Jillian's father, Matt, told Fox17 Nashville. While the ruling brings a sense of relief, the road to justice is far from over. 'I believe we are one step closer to justice, and we just thank everybody standing with us,' Jessica said through tears. 'We're thankful to the prosecutors who helped to prove that and to the judge who understood it and saw exactly what we saw, a competent man who should be held accountable,' Jessica said. The case however has highlighted a serious gap in The Volunteer State's legal system. Months before Jillian's death, Taylor had been accused of other violent crimes but was released after multiple psychological evaluations found him incompetent, WSMV reported. But, in July 2024, 'Jillian's Law,' sponsored by House Majority Leader William Lamberth, R-Portland, was passed and now requires felony defendants found incompetent to stand trial be committed for treatment. The Tuesday ruling also underscores how the mental competency of criminal defendants is assessed and handled. During Taylor's case, Dozier took particular issue with the remote evaluation conducted by Dr. Mary Elizabeth Wood, a psychologist who assessed Taylor via videoconference, raising concerns about technology's ability to capture the nuances of psychological assessments in complex legal cases. 'While there is a time and place for such technologies, the nuances of psychological assessments for adjudicative purposes may strain the connection between an administrator and their subject,' Dozier wrote in his ruling. Now that Taylor has been declared competent, the trial can move forward, with the prosecution pushing for justice for Jillian. For the Ludwig family, however, the ruling represents just one chapter in an ongoing battle. 'Nothing's going to bring her back, but in a way, this ruling might help set a precedent for other rulings to help make changes to a broken system,' Jessica said.

Police warn of danger of one-punch attacks in Suffolk and Norfolk
A senior police officer has warned people of the danger of getting into fist fights after two men recently died from single-punch attacks. Daniel Martin from Felixstowe, Suffolk was convicted of manslaughter and has yet to receive his sentence after he fatally punched Charlie Greaves, 25, from Ipswich, in August 2024. Tyrone Busch, from Dereham, Norfolk, was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to eight years in prison for killing Michael O'Dwyer, 31, with a single punch in July Supt Phill Gray, from Suffolk Police, said: "Two men lost their lives needlessly as a result of these incidents. Two other men have ruined their own lives and are now convicted killers." The body of Mr Greaves was discovered at Suffolk Sands Holiday Park, Felixstowe, on 11 August court heard that Martin had told Mr Greaves to put his dog on a lead at a pub, which lead to an argument before Martin punched the victim, causing him to fall back, hit his head and lose consciousness for a Greaves had returned home and gone to bed, his grandfather found him unresponsive the next morning. Martin had denied manslaughter but was found guilty by a jury. Det Supt Gray said: "This was a situation [Martin] could have simply walked away from. "The victim may have been argumentative towards him, but at no time did he attempt to hit or threaten Martin."Daniel Martin was significantly bigger than the victim and any force delivered to a much smaller person is likely to have a disproportionate impact – akin to a heavyweight boxer punching a featherweight." 'Attack out of nowhere' Mr O'Dwyer was found unconscious at his home the morning after being struck in the jaw outside the Red Lion pub in Dereham, Norfolk, on 20 Alice Robinson described the incident at Norwich Crown Court as "serious unprovoked violence".Det Supt Gray said that Busch "seemed to have used irritation and annoyance at the victim coming over and speaking to him in a beer garden as an excuse to punch him – it was an attack that seemingly came out of nowhere".He added: "In each case alcohol had been consumed by both parties involved and would also appear to have been a factor."Both Suffolk and Norfolk Police forces said there had been a number of recent incidents where people had been punched once "which could have quite easily have resulted in further loss of life"."I urge everyone to reflect on these cases and how lives can be ruined in a matter of seconds. One punch can kill," Det Supt Gray said. Follow Suffolk news on BBC Sounds, Facebook, Instagram and X.
