Asher Keddie's burglar 'turning his life around'
Seven months after he broke into the home of Gold Logie winner Asher Keddie and tried to steal her husband's prized motorbike, James Powell is turning his life around. The 45-year-old appeared before Melbourne Magistrate Court on Tuesday where he said he was "feeling really good" with his life following months of rehabilitation and support. "(I have) taken my son to school for first time," he said. His lawyer also confirmed he has not had any run-ins with police. Powell has admitted breaking into a garage belonging to Keddie and her artist husband Vincent Fantauzzo on the morning of December 28. The court was previously told that as Powell was wheeling out a motorbike, with helmet in hand, Keddie heard a noise and discovered the burglar had taken her husband's prized $40,000 Ducati Scrambler motorbike. She screamed for her husband who ran down a side path of their St Kilda home, yelling for Powell to stop, but as he reached for the accused's shoulder, Powell turned and swung, connecting with Fantauzzo's face. Fantauzzo tackled him back, leading to a scuffle on the ground where Powell was restrained by the artist with the help of a passer-by until police arrived. Powell lost consciousness shortly after police arrested him and paramedics had to be called to take him to hospital, with a drug overdose possibly brought on by the physical confrontation. Powell faced a deferred sentencing on Tuesday, which allows a court to postpone sentencing an offender to give them an opportunity to address their behaviour and demonstrate rehabilitation before a final sentence is imposed. His lawyer said he had shown positive engagement in a bail support program and recommended it come to an end. Magistrate Vincenzo Caltabiano praised Powell for his hard work and updated his bail conditions to swap out bail support and transitioned him to attend a specialist court that helps people address underlying factors contributing to their offending. But he retained Powell's curfew condition. "Depending on how things go, we can have a conversation (about that). The hard work pays off over time," the magistrate said. Fantauzzo is a world-renowned artist who has won the Archibald Prize's People's Choice Award four times. Keddie is best known for her role in Australian drama Offspring for which she won the Gold Logie in 2013 and also took home the Most Popular Actress Logie five times in a row.

'Neither had helmets on': How a midnight joyride on Rs 9-lakh Ducati Scrambler turned fatal for two young professionals in Noida
In Greater Noida West, a fatal accident occurred when a speeding Ducati Scrambler, carrying two young professionals, crashed into a construction pit near Char Murti roundabout. Ankur Singh and Kashish, neither wearing helmets, died after the bike rammed through a guardrail. NOIDA: A midnight joyride on a high-end Ducati Scrambler turned fatal for two young professionals in Greater Noida West on Tuesday when the speeding bike rammed through an iron guardrail and plunged into a 7-foot-deep pit dug up for an underpass project near the busy Char Murti roundabout. Neither was wearing a helmet. The victims, Ankur Singh (28) and his friend Kashish (25), had stepped out for a late-night spin. Singh picked her up from her flat in 14th Avenue society around 2.30am, just minutes before the crash. They were likely headed to his residence in Panchsheel Green 2, also in Noida Extension. Police said Singh, who was riding the Ducati, may have lost control at high speed. 'The bike smashed through the guardrail and fell into the pit. It appears both victims landed on construction machinery or debris inside, sustaining grievous injuries,' a senior Bisrakh police officer said. Sandbags placed behind the guardrail failed to absorb the impact. Both Ankur and Kashish were rushed to the District Hospital in Sector 39 but were declared dead on arrival. 'They were brought in with severe trauma. Neither had a helmet on,' said hospital CMS Dr Renu Aggarwal. The Ducati, a premium model worth around Rs 9 lakh, remained largely intact after the fall, police said. With no eyewitnesses at that hour, investigators are now scanning CCTV footage from nearby areas and examining the crash site to reconstruct events. Kashish's family was on its way from Allahabad by Tuesday evening, while Singh's relatives hadn't yet been contacted, police said. The spot where the accident occurred, Char Murti roundabout, also known as Gaur Chowk, is at the heart of a major infrastructure revamp in Greater Noida West. A 700-metre-long underpass is being built to ease congestion on the Taj Highway, connecting Gaur City to the Delhi-Meerut Expressway. Greater Noida Authority officials said diversion signage and metal barricades were already in place. 'It seems the vehicle was at high speed. We've directed immediate upgrades to the site — reflective tapes, better-lit zones and reinforced barriers. A coordination meeting with traffic police is also being scheduled to post night-time personnel,' said Prerna Singh, additional CEO of GNIDA. Experts say poor visibility, unbarricaded construction stretches and high-speed biking — often without protective gear — have led to a spike in road fatalities. UP alone saw 13,000 crashes and nearly 7,700 deaths between January and May this year. Noida accounted for 1,165 accidents and 462 deaths in 2023.
