Survivor attacked inside her home A disturbing sexual assault in a village in Bihar has triggered nationwide concern. A 28 year old mother of four was attacked inside her home during the night of 11 June in Begusarai district. The survivor said she was in an outdoor toilet area when a group of men forced their way in. The toilet had no proper door and was covered only with a curtain. She reported that five men attacked her, tied her hands, gagged her, and stripped her. She also said they used sharp objects during the assault and injured her chest when she resisted. Family response and discovery The woman said her husband first thought her sounds were from an animal. When he became suspicious, he tried to check on her. The house had been locked from the outside. A neighbour later helped open the door. The family then found her in a critical condition and immediately raised alarm. Medical confirmation and police action Medical authorities confirmed that the survivor had been sexually assaulted and treated her injuries. Items recovered from her account included a bullet casing, which she said was used during the attack. Police have named five suspects in the case, including three identified individuals and two unknown persons. Two suspects have been arrested so far. A special investigation team has been formed to track the remaining accused. Officials also stated that some of the suspects have prior criminal records. Legal provisions related to gang rape have been applied. Concerns over response and support The survivor said she received delayed help from both police and medical services after the incident. Her account has added to ongoing concerns about how sexual violence cases are handled, especially in rural and economically weaker regions. Activists say such cases often highlight gaps in safety, quick response systems, and survivor support in smaller towns and villages.

Police confirmed that a 14-year-old boy from the local area has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in custody for questioning. Missing Girl Identified by Family The victim had been reported missing earlier. She was last seen on High Street in Blaina at about 18:50 BST on Saturday, 20 June. Although formal identification has not yet been completed, the girl’s family has been informed. Specialist officers are supporting them during this time.

A blue forensic tent has been placed inside the park about 100 meters from the cordoned area, suggesting a key focus point for evidence gathering. Additional patrols have been deployed across the town as the investigation continues.

Two Men Arrested in Nottingham Mortuary Investigation Linked to Maternity Failures Police Action in Operation Perth Two men, aged 55 and 59, have been arrested in Nottingham over concerns linked to practices in a hospital mortuary service. They are suspected of misconduct in a public office. Police confirmed the arrests took place on Monday. Nottinghamshire Police are running the inquiry under Operation Perth, which started in 2023 after serious maternity care failings were identified at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. Background of the Maternity Investigation The investigation is tied to wider concerns that involve hundreds of cases where babies died or were harmed. The issues are part of a major maternity review in the NHS, which is one of the largest of its kind. The review is led by independent senior midwife Donna Ockenden. It covers around 2,500 cases and began in September 2022 after repeated allegations of poor care affecting mothers and newborns. Mortuary Service Under Scrutiny Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust runs mortuary services at both Queen’s Medical Centre and Nottingham City Hospital. These services operate under a licence from the Human Tissue Authority. Police say Operation Perth identified breaches of regulations under the Human Tissue Act. These breaches relate to how mortuary services were managed and run. Support for Affected Families Deputy Chief Constable Rob Griffin said the investigation may be distressing for families already involved in the case. He confirmed that families directly affected have been contacted. He added that more families will be informed as investigators identify further cases. Support services are also available through the Operation Perth information channels. Hospital Response Manjeet Shehmar, medical director at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, said the trust is aware of the arrests. He said the organisation is taking the matter seriously and will fully cooperate with the investigation.

A former teacher from Blackpool has been jailed for life after the murder of his adopted 13 month old son, Preston Davey, following months of severe abuse. The court heard that Preston died in July 2023 after suffering repeated physical, sexual, and emotional harm over the final four months of his life. A post mortem later revealed around 40 separate injuries on the child’s body. False claim of drowning rejected Jamie Varley, 37, told police that Preston had drowned accidentally in a bath. Investigators later found strong evidence of long term abuse, which directly contradicted his account. Medical findings showed injuries consistent with ongoing violence, not a single accident. The severity of the injuries led to murder charges. Co accused also sentenced Varley’s partner, John McGowan Fazakerley, 32, was also sentenced in the case. He was found guilty of sexual assault, child cruelty, and allowing the death of a child. He received a 25 year prison sentence. Court ruling and whole life order During sentencing, the judge described Preston’s suffering as prolonged and severe. The court confirmed that Varley would serve a whole life order. This means he will never be released from prison, except in rare compassionate situations. The judge stated that the crime involved extreme levels of violence and neglect. He told Varley directly that he would remain in prison for the rest of his life with no chance of parole. Family impact Preston’s biological mother and grandmother attended court and reacted with grief during the hearing. In a victim impact statement, Preston’s mother described ongoing emotional pain and distress. She said she is haunted by thoughts of what her child endured in his final months and struggles daily with the loss.

Nigerian Man Jailed After Storing Human Waste Outside Home Court action taken after neighbours report severe smell in Kano A man in northern Nigeria has been jailed for two weeks after neighbours complained that he kept bags of human waste outside his home, causing a strong and unbearable smell in the area. The case was heard in the city of Kano after residents alerted environmental officials about the situation. Authorities later took Mohammed Saidu to court over public health concerns linked to the stored waste. Neighbours raised alarm over health and smell Residents said the odour from the property made daily life difficult. Some reported that they could not sit outside or relax in their homes because of the smell. One neighbour, Samaila Inuwa, said people first tried to resolve the issue directly with Saidu. He added that the warnings were ignored and the situation continued. Local chief Musa Abdullahi also said he was informed early on and spoke to Saidu after the first complaints. He said the waste was removed at one point, but later returned. Waste linked to fertiliser practice Saidu works emptying septic tanks. He is believed to have stored the waste for resale to farmers, where human waste is sometimes used as fertiliser in the region. The practice exists in some areas but is rarely discussed openly. Reports suggest nearly 50 bags of waste were seen at the property when complaints were first raised. Court ruling and penalty Saidu admitted in court to the charge of endangering public health. A magistrate visited the site before issuing the ruling and ordered that the waste be removed completely. He was sentenced to 14 days in prison and fined 100,000 naira, equal to about 55 dollars. The court also warned him not to repeat the act. Authorities said the situation improved after the case was taken to court, with residents reporting that the smell had stopped and normal life had returned.
