This is Jennifer Crumbley she has been found guilty of 4 counts of involuntary manslaughter after her son Ethan Crumbley killed 4 students at his school with a gun he was bought by his parents.

Ethan took the 9mm handgun, a Christmas present from his parents, into his school in November 2021. He then shot and killed Madiyson Baldwin, 17, Tate Myre, 16,Justin Shilling, 17 and Hana St. Juliana, 14.

In December 2023 Ethan was found guilty of the crimes and was sentenced to life in prison without a chance for parole.

Ethan's father was also charged and he goes to court shortly.

What do you think of this? Is it right, should parents be held responsible for their children's actions, what do you think should be the legal ramifications for parents who buy weapons for underage children?

Charles Manson has always been one of those people who I would love to know exactly what is going on inside his head. How did he manage to convince so many people to leave their lives, move to an old movie ranch in the middle of nowhere and then eventually convince them to kill people? I can't wait to read this.

Elle Edwards Verdict!!

Yesterday the verdict was given by Mr Justice Goose, 48 years for Connor Chapman and 9 years for Thomas Waring. Family members of Elle yelled “scumbag” as Chapman was taken away, being truthful if it were me I would have yelled a lot worse.
The Judge said:

"I am satisfied that you are a highly dangerous man. In this trial, we have all watched the CCTV and sound recording of that shooting. It's utterly shocking. You carefully planned a revenge attack in gang rivalry. You had no thought at all for anyone else, least of all innocent people."

As I have said in my previous post this isn’t Chapmans first offence, Elle’s death could have been avoided if he would have been in prison for longer but now he won’t see the normal world till he is 71 years ok!! But in my opinion me he should never get out of prison. What do you think??

Sophie Lancaster was a beautiful soul, she has been described by her friends as have a cheeky laugh and was loved by so many people, but one night a group of boys took it upon themselves to attack Sophie and her boyfriend Rob in a park. But why? Just because of the way they looked!!

Recently Loose Women covered a story about a Gothic Baby on Tiktok and to be honest I was shocked by what they said, this year is will be 16 years since Sophie was murdered and yet again here we are still judging people by how they look!

On my podcast today I talk about what happened to Sophie, and I would love it if you could also head over to the Sophie Lancaster Foundation, the link is in my Linktre above, and check out the foundation started by Sophie’s mum Sylvia

*Update on The Murder of Elle Edwards*

Connor Chapman appeared in court this morning, he confirmed his name and address and has been remanded in custody. He will appear at Liverpool Crown Court on Monday 16th January at 10:30am. He hasn’t made a plea yet, so we will have to wait on Monday to find out what that is.

My thoughts are with Elle’s family and friends who now have to sit through this trial, but at least it means there will be justice for her.

NEWS!!!!
There is an update on the murder of Elle Edwards in Wallasey, Wirral. A 22 year old man Connor Chapman who lives in Woodchurch, Birkenhead, has been arrested for the murder of Elle as well as two counts of attempted murder and three counts of unlawful and malicious wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm.

Chapman will appear in Wirral Adult Remand Court today. With a little search on Google, I have found a picture of this man, I have also found two different articles, one in 2018 and one in 2020 where the police have been looking for this man to be recalled to prison, another I have found is from 2019 saying he was hiding in a hotel with his girlfriend, this article says that he had racked up 19 convictions for 43 offences! People like this need to be locked up and the key thrown away because clearly prison is doing NOTHING for him!

After having a little Christmas break I just wanted to bring you some updates on the Christmas Eve murder in Wallasey.

On Boxing Day 26 year old Elle Edwards was named as the young murder victim.

Elle had gone with her sister and some friends to the Lighthouse pub in Wallasey, to celebrate Christmas.

At 11:50pm shots were heard near the entrance of the pub, one of Elle’s friends described it as sounding like fireworks.

As well as Elle, 4 men were also shot, one of them are still in hospital in a critical condition.

Elle was rushed to hospital but sadly was later pronounced dead.

A 30 year old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder and a 19 year old women has also been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.

I will be keeping you up to date with this ongoing case.

NEW CASE : Shafilea Ahmed.

Shafilea was born on the 14th July 1986 in Bradford to her father Iftikhar and her mother Farzana, who were originally from Pakistan. When Shafilea was still young her family moved to Great Sankey in Warrington, Cheshire.
She was very popular, she and wanted to be a solicitor.

In 2003 during a trip to Pakistan, it is reported that Shafilea was being forced to marry, in order to stop this from happening she drank bleach, she was taken back home to Warrington were her parents kept her at home till Shafilea couldn’t swollow, they eventually took her to the hospital where doctors were extremely concerned about her, when they asked what had happened, her parents told them that during a power out Shafilea had drunk bleach by mistake.

On the 11th September 2003 after missing a week of school Shafilea’s teachers called the police, who went round to her house, her parents said she had gone missing. A huge search began, meanwhile the police looked into the family, they found out about Shafilea drinking bleach.
February 2004, Shafilea’s body was found in the River Kent in Sedgwick in the Lake District. Her parents were arrested but with no evidence and they were let go.

The case was left as unsolved until the 25th August 2010, there was a break in at the Ahmed’s home, it was arranged by Alesha Ahmed, Shafilea’s younger sister, her parents called the police and got their daughter arrested, during questioning she told the police that she had been in the room when her father and mother had killed Shafilea using a plastic bag to suffocate her. Her father then threatened his other children in order for them to not say anything to anyone.
On the 3rd August 2012 Iftikhar and Farzana Ahmed where sentenced to a minimum of 25 years in prison. During the trial it was shown that Shafilea’s parents didn’t like that she was become westernised. During sentencing the judge evened said that this was an unrealistic thought for them to have as she was living in this culture and environment.
RIP Shafilea
