Women burglars target elderly

Filed under: General — Dave @ 3:23 pm

Blenheim residents are being warned to be wary of women talking their way into houses under the pretence of using phones or toilets, following burglary complaints.

Constable Michelle Stagg said police in the past week had received three complaints relating to two females preying on elderly residents in the Springlands area.

The pair, in their 20s, talked their way inside, with one keeping the resident occupied while the other stole cash.

Police were not certain whether the events were related, but said it served as a reminder as to why residents should not let strangers into their homes.

Anyone who has been targeted by a pair of women, or with information about who they might be, was urged to contact police.

Plane birth woman charged

Filed under: General — Dave @ 3:15 pm

The woman who gave birth to a baby on an international flight from Samoa to Auckland has been charged with abandoning the baby girl and assaulting her.

The 29-year-old Samoan woman’s baby was now in the care of Child Youth and Family (CYF) and the woman due to appear in the Manukau District Court today.

Police today announced the woman had been charged, six days after cleaners found the baby in a toilet rubbish bin on a Pacific Blue flight from Samoa to Auckland.

The mother apparently was on her way to New Zealand to work as a kiwifruit picker when her daughter was born.

The infant was found after the woman had left the aircraft. The mother and baby were both taken to Middlemore Hospital in South Auckland.

Woman denies false rape claim against police recruit

Filed under: General — julie @ 4:31 pm

There have been heated exchanges at a rape trial at the High Court in Wellington, where police recruit Mark James Tulloch, 31, is accused of raping a woman he met on an internet dating site.

A lot is riding on getting to the truth now a days with the push from feminists to find more men guilty of rape charges and men who are innocent and not wanting to go to prison for around 8 years on a false allegation.

This case is really juicy.

A single mother has been on dating websites writing sexual, talking sex over the phone and having text sex including pictures of herself naked to other men.

She meets up with a man, invites him back to her house for a shag, gives oral sex, drinks more with the neighbour and then accuses the man of rape after they have sex.

But this is not the only man she has accused of rape. Another man is waiting trial for an accusation from her also.

The defence lawyer has accused her of being a dangerous woman who has made false complaints in the past. But she says the rape did happen, and she has gone through a huge amount of suffering.

Woman murders, dismembers husband then hides parts around Australia

Filed under: General — Dave @ 4:49 pm

A Sydney woman admitted to hacking up her husband’s body before disposing of it at various locations around NSW, a court has been told.

The torso, legs and one arm of 47-year-old Revesby man Wayne Robert Chant were found dumped in three separate NSW locations more than 16 years ago.

“The crown alleges that the accused shot the deceased at their home in Revesby. She then took the body into the back yard and dismembered it,” Mr Hobart said.

“She cut off the legs and the arms and the hands and the headless, armless, legless torso was then disposed off.”

The body parts were kept in freezers in the Chant’s home before being hidden at various sites around the state, he said.

I think Psychologists are the ones that need therapy

Filed under: General — sonnyking @ 11:43 am

I have come to the realisation that the psychologists the Family Court employs as their s133 Report Writers are available because they would not be accepted in the reality world of psychoanalysts.

I have discovered this first hand when my partner and I were ‘advised’ by the Court that a fifth, yes 5th s133 report was going to be prepared regarding my partner’s youngest child’s cry about the treatment he was and is receiving from his mother. We fought for a new psychologist and were welcomed with the news that a Ms T from West Auckland would be constructing the report by way of interviews etc. you know the drill. (more…)

Woman murders and Eats Her Friend

Filed under: General — Dave @ 2:50 pm

MOSCOW (AFP) — A woman from Russia’s Siberian region of Irkutsk has been arrested for killing a friend and then eating part of the corpse, Interfax news agency reported, quoting local investigators.

The incident occurred on March 5 when the two women were drinking together at the suspect’s home and an argument broke out between them.

“Investigators have information to suggest the woman cooked pieces of her murdered friend and ate them,” said an official with the Russian prosecutor’s investigative committee, Vladimir Salovarov.

He added that the perpetrator killed her friend with an axe and that uneaten parts of the victim’s body had been found in a nearby waste bin.

The detained woman had confessed her guilt, Salovarov said.

Counsel to assist the court

Filed under: Law & Courts — Ken @ 9:54 am

Hi folks
I have noticed an increasing tendency for judges in cases in Hawkes Bay to appoint a ‘counsel to assist the court’ in FC cases where the father is self represented.
I’m just wondering if there is a trend in any other regions?
For the record they don’t seem to add much to the proceedings other than cost to the tax payer!

How outdated is feminist programs?

Filed under: Domestic Violence, General — julie @ 2:28 pm

It is really sad how programs work. This is not a perfect description but it isn’t far off.

Someone came up with a theory and this theory extended to other theories. (All students are learning these theories). Then and now research is done by hypothesis to measure these theories. Sociology does this and so does scientific study when it is combined with sociology. After all, the 2 are so different but both need to exist at the same time.

Anyhow, some one funds this theory and it’s hypothesis research and people lobby to get it released and implemented. All the way through it’s process someone is funding all actions.

When it comes to domestic violence women’s studies dominate research. Even if you have men’s research it is made around women’s studies known today as gender studies.

Anyhoo, back to the programs.
