Jealous boyfriend smothered partner to death before killing himself after wrongly accusing her of cheating on him, inquest told
A jealous man smothered his girlfriend to death with a pillow before hanging himself because she ended their relationship, an inquest has heard. Mother-of-two Lucy Powell, 21, was discovered dead lying on a bed at a house in Swancote Road, Stechford, in Birmingham on the evening of January 27, 2022. Officers forced their way into the address after her father raised concerns and they found the bodies of Ms Powell and 47-year-old Gregory Duhamel. Birmingham Coroners Court heard today Duhamel killed Ms Powell after wrongly accusing her of cheating before hanging himself in the bedroom. A note left by Duhamel indicated an intention to take his own life and added how 'Lucy would die as well'. A post mortem examination revealed the 21-year-old died from asphyxia caused by smothering while Duhamel's death was a result of suspension by ligature. Birmingham Area Coroner Emma Brown described Ms Powell, who worked as a carer, as a 'devoted and hard working mum' who still found time to pursue arts and crafts. She had lived at the address with Duhamel, who was the father of her children, but evidence found revealed they were intending to sell the property. Ms Brown said it was clear from those who knew Ms Powell and the note left by Duhamel at the scene that the relationship had come to an end. On January 27, Ms Powell's father had gone to Stechford police station to report his daughter was missing after she failed to collect her children from nursery. Police then went to the address and forced their way inside after getting no response. Officers found Duhamel hanging while Ms Powell was discovered lying in the bedroom. Ms Brown said: 'There was no sign that entry had been forced to the property and there was no sign of significant disorder in the bedroom. 'Ms Powell was a fit and strong young woman. 'A police investigation has confirmed that Lucy had ended the relationship and that Duhamel did not accept this. 'It is clear from the investigation that Duhamel killed Lucy and then himself. 'I find that Lucy was smothered by her partner.' She added Duhamel had believed Lucy had cheated on him but there was no evidence to support that. The coroner recorded she had been unlawfully killed. Following her death In a heartbreaking tribute, Ms Powell's family said: 'Lucy was a kind, caring beautiful person inside and out and always put a smile on everyone's face. 'She was a brilliant, loving mother to her two young children. 'She was taken from us way too soon and nothing will ever fill the heart-breaking hole in our hearts.

Watch Love Island Helena's fuming reaction as Harry rates ex Emma's kiss better than hers in saucy challenge
HELENA was left fuming after Harry rated his ex Emma and Shakira a better kisser than hers in tonight's snogging challenge. The lads were blindfolded and wearing headphones, while the girls made their way down the line and smooched each of them in turn. 3 3 The boys then rated each snog out of ten, which lead to some major jealous reactions. After enjoying kisses with all the girls, Harry scored Helena an eight, but gave Emma an 8.5 and Shakira a 9. During Helena's kiss with Harry, she wrapped her hand around his neck as a signal to him that it was her. When it came to describing their kiss, Harry said: "A familiar one for me, I've had the hand around the neck before, as for the kiss itself an eight out of ten." Speaking in the Beach Hut, a disappointed Helena said: "Harry scored me an eight, I'm trying to work out if he didn't realise it was me, but I don't know how he wouldn't realise that was me." Emma then worked her way down the line-up during her turn. She then enjoyed a long kiss with Harry, which promoted Helena to say: "Emma and Harry's kiss went on for a long time, f*** off Emma." Harry described the kiss: "She grabbed the bum cheeks straight away, I've got a little spring in my step back and slowed things down on the kissing front which I'm a big fan of." Emma said in the Beach Hut: "I just thought why not, he probably missed me." After giving Emma a higher score, Helena looked furious and later pulled Harry for a chat. Earlier in the episode, Harry appeared to have his head turned AGAIN as he pulled Shakira for a chat. Harry tried to make amends following the Couple of Sorts game and the comment he made suggesting she was still interested in him. He told her: 'I'm not trying to come between anything you're doing. "I think if you did like me, you'd go after it… you're a smart girl and you'd do what you want.' 'I think the world of you,' he continued. 'I just wanted to apologise to you and I am sorry.' Shakira replied: 'What was said in the kitchen was so misconstrued… "For you guys to bring it up in a challenge is stupid and I don't know why you did it to be honest. "I thought it was uncalled for but I appreciate your apology.' But Harry then went digging to find out if Shakira had regrets about them splitting. A curious Harry asked: 'Do you think it would have been a better experience for you if we were to stay together?' Shakira shut him down and replied: "No, I think you would have just continued hurting me." Harry shockingly replied: "But I think it would have been a better experience." Shakira added: "I mean we had a good time." ITV2 viewers were shocked at Harry appearing to try and rekindle his romance with Shakira, as viewers praised Shakira for "friend-zoning" him. Harry later enjoyed a flirty chat with new bombshell Angel, telling her that she'd love to be in his bed. Helena was left fuming and interrupted their conversation to tell him that she doesn't feel that he's given her any reassurance. Harry insisted that he still just wants Helena and promised to shut things down with Angel going forward. 3

Out of jealousy, Form One girl tied and gagged in school toilet by classmates in Sg Petani
SUNGAI PETANI, July 20 — A Form One female student was allegedly tied up and gagged by two schoolmates in a secondary school toilet here, in what police suspect was an act of bullying driven by jealousy. The 13-year-old was found with her hands and feet bound using a necktie and her mouth gagged with a handkerchief last Monday. 'Both suspects, who are also 13, admitted to committing the act out of jealousy,' BuletinTV3 wrote quoting Kuala Muda police chief Asst Comm Hanyan Ramlan yesterday. 'Investigations are ongoing, and the suspects are currently being remanded under Sections 323 and 324 of the Penal Code.' Both Sections cover 'voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means' and its punishment. The incident reportedly came to light when the victim's mother, waiting outside the school at 6.30pm, became worried when her daughter failed to appear. She and a school security guard began searching the premises and found the girl in the toilet. The victim was taken to hospital for minor injuries to her legs and hands, and for trauma treatment. Her mother later lodged a police report over the incident. This comes as Mara chairman Datuk Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki urged yesterday for a united push to recognise bullying as a crime and end its normalisation as harmless pranks.

Meghan Markle's Hollywood Career Reportedly Suffered From Her 'Intense Jealousy'
's favorite hue might be green, as in with envy! The mother-of-two allegedly exhibited strong traits of jealousy towards her peers as an aspiring actress under the wings of her father, Thomas Markle. Meghan Markle and her father have maintained a strained relationship for nearly 8 years, largely due to his comments on her marriage to Prince Harry in various interviews before and after the 2018 ceremony. The 80-year-old, who built a career as a lighting director in Hollywood, predicted the best future for her now estranged daughter, although things did not pan out as planned. According to Tom Bower in his new book Revenge, the entrepreneur and her dad set out on the road to stardom, but her jealousy heavily plagued that journey. Meghan reportedly took professional headshots of herself and helped send them to various producers, but to no avail. Still, the 80-year-old was confident his daughter wanted to become a star, on stage and in life. "One downside of Meghan's success was her intense jealousy, especially if someone else got the lead part," the author wrote, adding that the actress was upset about a girl at her school getting a job with a Hollywood studio as an actress, per The Daily Mail. The star reportedly became further engrossed in celebrity life when she first saw what the red carpet felt like at the age of 17. She reportedly accompanied her father, who was in the running to win the award for best lighting director at the Emmy Awards. However, Thomas and Meghan began to experience tension after he boldly expressed that he would not give way to every pressure from his daughter. Bower noted in the book that in the spring of 1999, the new school play, a musical titled "The Pyjama Game," needed a leading role, which Meghna saw herself as fit for. Unfortunately, the actress had to choose between getting the role and attending the school's summer retreat. She eventually decided to go for the one-week retreat after her drama teacher, Gigi Perreau, insisted she pick one. Indignant that the teacher refused her the role in a play, she reportedly requested her father to decline doing the lighting. To her displeasure, her father disregarded her demands, and a furious Meghan screamed that he needed to do whatever she wanted. The fight was what led to the young Meghan's departure from her father's house into her mother, Doria Ragland's home. That was also the beginning of the distance between them. In a shocking twist, Doria reportedly left her daughter's expansive Montecito home for the comfort of her home after a rough 18 months. As shared by The Blast, the yoga teacher allegedly got fed up with her daughter's constant moaning and unbearable attitude, so she found the nearest exit. The Duchess of Sussex reportedly tried to stop the exit with repeated pleas, but it was already too late. Doria left the home with her bag in hand. Doria's stay with the couple was to help alleviate the stress that comes with looking after two kids, especially in the midst of the professional and personal challenges they experienced at the time. Prince Harry's mother-in-law moved in early last year, and her presence shifted things tremendously, among Harry and Meghan as a couple, and also built a bond between the kids and their grandmother. Doria is reportedly content with coming to the house once in a while to check on the family as she used to, but her days as a live-in grandma are far behind her. The father and daughter's feud became public knowledge months and weeks before her wedding to the Invictus Games founder. As noted by The Blast, Thomas suffered two heart attacks before the ceremony, causing his absence from the aisle. Since then, the duo has not had a conversation, nor has the director officially met his son-in-law. Even worse is that Thomas has no relationship with his two grandchildren, who are now 6 and 4 years old, respectively. Two years ago, he reportedly reached out to the Duchess of Sussex via an interview to look for ways to mend the cracked walls between them. He also threatened to pursue meeting his grandkids the legal route if his pleas fell on deaf ears, in his words: "In California, I can actually sue to see them, but I don't want to do that. I've done nothing wrong. There's nothing that points to say I'm a bad guy." Well, the 80-year-old made a big decision by moving to the Philippines for a fresh start and a new sense of life now that he is old. Thomas used to live in a cliffside property near the United States border in Rosario, Mexico, before his move. "I am ready for a change. I have felt stuck in a rut for some time, and I am ready to meet new people and experience kindness," Thomas declared. However, things may not be panning out the way he envisioned his new life, as sources shared that he had been struggling to get used to the environment and weather over there. The weather conditions on the Island of Cebu, where he currently resides alongside his son, often reach a humidity level of 90% and a temperature of up to 100 degrees. According to a source: "There are only two types of weather in Cebu: hot and humid, and hot and humid and raining. It's brutal even for men half his age, but it's still sad to see him looking as though he's struggling." The 80-year-old was even spotted navigating the local terrain of Cebu with the help of a cane. Despite these challenges, the presence of his son to serve as a familiar face is reportedly a calming sight for the lighting director. Will Meghan Markle and Thomas Markle ever find a common ground?

Shocking moment jealous boyfriend slices off clubber's ear for dancing with his girlfriend on birthday bar crawl
This is the shocking moment a jealous boyfriend was caught on CCTV slicing off a man's ear for dancing with his girlfriend at a party. Beau Lyons, 27, flew into a rage on a 'mini bar crawl' with his partner Shaunnia Connolly and their friends while they celebrated a birthday in Newport, South Wales. A court heard that victim Shane Edwards was left looking 'like something from Star Wars ' after being disfigured in the glass attack. The group had travelled 150 miles before ending the night at Mojo's club in Newport in March. While the friends drank and danced at the bar, Lyons flew into a rage at the popular nightclub after he spotted Mr Edwards sitting and talking to his girlfriend. CCTV footage showed Mr Edwards dancing with Miss Connolly before buying her a drink from the bar. The shocking footage then showed Lyons launching himself at Mr Edwards after spotting him dancing with his partner. He picked up a nearby glass and smashed it in to the the victim's face before throwing him in to a table. Shane Edwards was left looking 'like something from Star Wars ' after being disfigured in the glass attack after Lyons spotted him dancing with Miss Connolly Following the shocking assault a bouncer leapt in to action and pulled the jealous boyfriend off the injured Mr Edwards while clubbers at Mojo's watched on in horror. Prosecutor Nuhu Gobir said Lyons had already argued with Miss Connolly before he glassed unsuspecting Mr Edwards. Mr Edwards revealed he blacked out during the attack and came around in hospital covered in blood after his ear was almost completely sliced off. Since the incident the defenceless victim said he feels 'deformed' and is scared to go out. Mr Gobir said all Mr Edwards remembered was waking up in hospital covered in blood from his chest downwards. He was taken to Grange University Hospital and was found to have suffered a 5cm wound through his left ear towards the base of the skull. The glass had cut through all layers of skin tissue and the underlying structures of the ear, exposing cartilage and effectively splitting the ear in two. Lyons, of Saltney Ferry, Flintshire, admitted he had assaulted Mr Edwards but said he had no recollection of the incident and was sorry. He pleaded guilty to wounding with intent and possession of an offensive weapon. In a victim personal statement, Mr Edwards said: 'Since the incident I have been crying a lot, I am so upset about the state of my ear. I feel like I am deformed. 'I have had very bad anxiety including nightmares about someone always attacking me. This is happening every night and I don't get a lot of sleep because of it. 'I'm always looking over my shoulder when I am out, and go out with friends all the time, I don't want to be by myself. If it wasn't for one friend in particular I wouldn't be going out at all anywhere. 'Day to day I struggle to cope, I am anxious and paranoid and suffer with depression badly anyway but this incident made it worse. 'My left ear is permanently deformed and strangers have been making comments about it and someone said I looked like something out of Star Wars which has made my confidence way down. 'I have problems with my ear, it was leaking liquid and I kept having to go to hospital to get it redressed and it got infected. Since the incident I've had trouble hearing out of my injured ear which makes it hard to be in conversation.' Judge Eugene Egan said: 'The lower part of the ear is sliced away. You used a glass as a weapon. 'You well and truly launched yourself at the victim in this case and brought the glass crashing down on the left side of his ear. You were under the influence of alcohol and cocaine was in your system.' Lyons was sentenced to three years imprisonment.
