How did this bloke go undetected by law enforcement before his planned attack in Newcastle yesterday?

Maybe because ignorant misguided do-gooders with no understanding of threat assessment insist on restricting LEA powers at every turn?

Very specific details, such as the pillow. I can't imagine a child making that up.

Illawarra teacher and former NRL player Keith Eshman denies sexually assaulting young child​

The court heard the child made multiple disclosures about sexual acts Mr Eshman had allegedly engaged with her. Mr Eshman took the stand on Thursday. Defence barrister Brendan Green questioned Mr Eshman about the allegations.

"In the course of this trial, you have heard the child accuse you of touching her private parts, what do you say to that?" Mr Green asked.

"That never happened," Mr Eshman responded.

Mr Eshman gave the same response when asked about two other similar sex offences he was alleged to have committed. Mr Green asked his client about evidence previously heard in the trial that Mr Eshman told the child they had a "secret".

"Did you ever say something about she needed to keep a secret?" Mr Green asked.

"Never, no," Mr Eshman responded.

"Did you say something like that to her at any time?" Mr Green asked.

"Never, no, Mr Eshman responded.

Mr Eshman was cross-examined by Crown Prosecutor Nerissa Keay. The jury was shown a video of the room where the child was allegedly abused which had a pillow on the floor.

"You took [the pillow] in there for [name] to lie on?" Ms Keay asked.

"No," Mr Eshman responded.

"Then you sexually touched her," Ms Keay said.

"No I didn't," Mr Eshman said.

Bwaahahahahaaaahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Another tool in the box!

'Diplomat Dan' jailed for assault of wife, splashing acid on arresting Tasmania Police officers​

  • Daniel Victor Gandini, who insisted on being referred to as "Diplomat Dan" during the trial, has been sentenced to more than three years in jail for assaulting his wife and splashing a corrosive acid on police officers.
  • The judge said Gandini's moral culpability was reduced due to his mental health, but that he would be able to access support in prison.
  • Gandini will be eligible for parole later this year.

I feel very sorry for the police officer who was burned and hope he's feeling a lot better. Should be 3 years without parole.

They need to stamp that crap right out.
There are young girls in the UK who end up deformed for life because of some dickhead throwing acid.
They get off light because they didn't kill anyone.
 

Keeping a close eye on this one due to the proximity.
Strange that fire fighters thought the house was empty after initial search, but fire cause investigators later found a body. Does this suggest that the body was found in a hard to get to / odd spot?
Fire starting at 0745 doesn't scream arson to me though.

All part of the same shonky (IMO) goings on



 
The 22-year-old university student was stabbed in the neck by a 14-year-old boy, was released from Royal Prince Alfred Hospital on Tuesday night - read more. He apparently came to the attention of the authorities last year for planning a massacre and was not charged for mental health reasons. Thank goodness he didn't have access to guns. There seems to be an increasing cohort of young people being encouraged to violence on the internet - so called 'self radicalization'.

Illawarra teacher and former NRL player Keith Eshman found not guilty of raping young girl​

I don't wonder where she hid the balloons.


'Kristy Howell, 43, of Penrithā€™s KJR Legal, was arrested as she attempted to enter the western Sydney correctional facility on Tuesday ā€œafter alleged contraband was seized ... when visiting as a legal professionalā€, police said in a statement on Wednesday.

ā€œDuring a further search of the woman, officers allegedly located and seized six small balloons containing tobacco, methylamphetamine, cocaine and buprenorphine,ā€ police said.

She has been charged with unlawfully bringing anything into a place of detention, supplying an indictable quantity of a prohibited drug and two counts of supplying a prohibited drug.

Howell was granted bail by Blacktown Local Court on Wednesday with a raft of conditions including she does not go within 100 metres of a prison and reports three times a week to Penrith police station.'
 
Yet another missing person, this one with his dog

Watched the Netflix Doco. What a bizarre situation all round! For some reason the Doco (to me) came across very 'American', doesn't help that the guys name was Moriarty, (Shades of Sherlock Holmes too) I had to keep reminding myself that this was in Australia. A small group (11?) of mainly older people living in an isolated NT 'ghost town', each person with their own quirky personality and questionable reason for living there. One goes missing (with his dog ) and they are all under suspicion for different reasons!! Great watch.
 
Hopefully the ID of this accused 1993 Nedlands rapist will be revealed today in court and the media sometime today.
This could lead to other unsolved crimes in Perth and possibly elsewhere being solved when/if his ID is made public, including pics of what he looked like in the intervening years.

Investigative Genetic Genealogy technology finally nailed him 31 years after the attack.

'Nedlands 1993 rape: Police charge Canberra man over alleged rape of 19-year-old woman'

'Fri, 5 July 2024 1:03AM
...
DNA has led detectives to arrest and charge a 53-year-old Canberra man with the alleged rape of a 19-year-old woman at a college in Nedlands in 1993.

Police will allege the attack happened about 3am on February 23, 1993, when the 53-year-old man forced entry to the Stirling Highway college.

ā€œThe victim ... was asleep in her student accommodation when she was awoken to the man in her room. It will be further alleged the man threatened the victim and sexually assaulted her,ā€ police said in a statement.

ā€œA forensic examination was conducted at the time of the assault which resulted in an unidentified male DNA profile being located. This DNA profile remained unidentified for thirty years.ā€

Using ground-breaking Investigative Genetic Genealogy technology a suspect was identified and on Wednesday ā€” with the help of the Australian Federal Police ā€” the man was arrested in Canberra and subsequently extradited to Perth.

He has since been charged by special crime squad detectives with two counts of aggravated sexual penetration without consent and one count of burglary and commit.

He is due to appear before the Perth Magistrates Court on Friday.'

Was this one we thought Edwards might be responsible for?
