Supt Noel Kelly objected to bail because of the seriousness of the charge and he believed the man also posed a flight risk.

A 37-YEAR-OLD Romanian man has been remanded in custody, charged with withholding information in connection with the ongoing investigation into the murder of schoolteacher and publican John Kenny.

Judge Mary Fahy refused bail and remanded the accused in custody to appear at Harristown District Court in Co Roscommon on Friday. Read more at www.independent.ie

Teenager who stabbed girlfriend to death in row over garlic bread jailed for at least 15 years

A TEENAGER who stabbed a young mother-of-two to death in a "ludicrous" argument about garlic bread was told today he would serve a minimum of 15 years behind bars.

Jamie Ellis murdered Alami Gotip, 22, in a "brutal and frenzied" knife attack at her home in the Dedridge area of Livingston, West Lothian, while her two young children slept upstairs.

She was stabbed around 40 times after Ellis, 18, "snapped" because she had been "moaning at him" over his failure to make garlic bread for dinner, the High Court in Edinburgh heard.

Jamie Ellis murdered Alami Gotip, 22, in a "brutal and frenzied" knife attack at her home in the Dedridge area of Livingston, West Lothian, while her two young children slept upstairs.

Ellis, who was in an on-off relationship with Ms Gotip, was told by Judge Lord Glennie he had robbed two young children of their mother.

The teenager pleaded guilty to the murder last month.

After being handed a life sentence, he was told he will not be considered for parole until he has spent at least 15 years in custody.

Passing sentence, Lord Glennie said: "Your actions not only took the life of someone you say you loved but deprived two young children of their mother.

She had two young daughters from a previous relationship with Neil Henderson and, despite their relationship ending in November last year, they remained close friends and shared childcare responsibilities.

Ms Gotip and Ellis broke up several times during their relationship and he was jealous of her continued friendship with Mr Henderson.

After the murder, Ellis, crying and with blood and cuts on his hand, went to his cousin's house and told him: "I don't know what I've done."

Ellis later told his mother over the phone: "I have done something bad. I have stabbed Alami."

He added: "It's not that I am a horrible person but s*** happens." Read more at www.dailyrecord.co.uk

FATHER's plea in wife's death may resolve son's death

CONCORD, N.H.—The mystery behind the killing of a 4-year-old New Hampshire boy may be resolved when his father pleads guilty to killing the boy's mother.



Thirty-eight-year-old Christopher Smeltzer of Auburn is charged with second-degree murder in the beating and strangulation death of his wife, Mara Pappalardo, last fall

Amplify’d from www.boston.com

Police on Nov. 8 also found the couple's 4-year-old son, Mason, dead of ligature strangulation in the family's Auburn home. Seven-year-old daughter Mercey Smeltzer was injured but survived.

No one has been charged with killing Mason and injuring Mercey.

The autopsy report indicates something was tied tightly around Mason's neck to kill him.

Smeltzer is scheduled to plead guilty Wednesday in Rockingham Superior Court.

Other court records show that Mara Pappalardo had filed a petition seeking custody of the children two months before she was killed. She told a Salem family court judge she was homeless and living with her mother-in-law, and that she couldn't afford to pay any court fees at the time but would once she was back on her feet. There is no indication the petition was ever served on her husband. Read more at www.boston.com

Children Of Wife-Killing Suspect Fear Grandparents Will Kill Them

How the hell were the parents of the man accused of killing these kids mother granted custody? Mother is killed, father takes custody of kids. Subsequently father gets arrested, so his parents take custody of children.



Sounds like the normal in murdered mother cases. The murderers parents ALWAYS fight and usually get custody of the remaining victims.

Amplify’d from gothamist.com

The young children of the NJ mom who was allegedly killed by her husband and his mistress are stuck in a rotten custody battle. And worse, they are allegedly terrified of the grandparents who they have been staying with.

Riyan and his two-year-old brother, Shayaan, have been staying with their paternal grandparents since the killing of their mother, Nazish Noorani. The children's father, Kashif Parvaiz, has been charged with arranging for his mistress, Antoinette Stephen, to murder his wife by shooting her in broad daylight while the couple strolled on a suburban NJ street. Prosecutors have called Parvaiz "sociopathic" and "narcissistic," while Stephen has denied her involvement in the murder. Read more at gothamist.com

Topeka Council discusses failure to prosecute domestic battery

The city plans to repeal the city law of Domestic Battery being a crime, in their thinking that the DA will be forced to begin prosecuting.

Amplify’d from cjonline.com

Two domestic violence survivors addressed the Topeka City Council on Tuesday evening after it heard the first reading of a proposal targeted at forcing Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor to resume prosecuting domestic batteries committed in Topeka.

“I just ask that somehow there has to be a resolution,” Jo Charay told the council.

Charay and Claudine Dombrowski appeared separately before the council during the public comments portion of its meeting.

She said domestic battery cases should be prosecuted in district court instead of Topeka Municipal Court because “the city does not have the resources and the agencies to deal with domestic violence the way that the county does and the state does.”

The council is expected next week to consider the proposed changes, which would include repealing the part of the code that bans domestic battery.

Dombrowski told the council her mother always told her two wrongs don’t make a right. She said repealing the part of city ordinance banning domestic battery would be “the second wrong” after Taylor stopped prosecuting those crimes.

Dombrowski also said criminal activity undoubtedly would increase when the consequences for it are removed. Read more at cjonline.com

Michigan man who killed 7, self 'just lost it'

He told his friend Willie Cunningham that he was upset with his estranged wife, Jennifer Heeren-Dantzler, 29, because she had taken his 12-year-old daughter for three days and not returned her.

Amplify’d from www.ajc.com

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — An ex-convict who killed seven people in July before taking his own life in a Grand Rapids shooting spree had pledged in a suicide note to take his mother-in-law "with me."

Dantzler's suicide note "obviously indicated his frustration" with his estranged wife and her parents, Belk said. "Why he continues his rampage throughout the day . . . I don't think we'll ever know."

Dantzler shot at four police officers July 7 as he led them on a 12-minute chase through city streets and nearby highways, a prosecutor's report said. He wounded two people in downtown Grand Rapids during the chase and took three people hostage in a four-hour standoff. He released one before killing himself.

In a suicide note left for his mother, he complained, "it seems like everyone that loves me walk (sic) out of my life."

Dantzler blamed his mother-in-law for talking Heeren-Dantzler into leaving him, writing, "I dont (sic) have anything nice 2 say about her! I gonna take her with me!!!"

"It would appear that he was simply a very angry man,"

Dantzler previously dated Kimberlee Ann Emkens, 23. He also killed her sister, Amanda Renee Emkens, 27, and her niece, Marissa Lynn Emkens, 10.

Dantzler had a criminal record as far back as 1992, when he was charged as a juvenile with breaking and entering and car theft. That was followed over the next eight years by charges of trespassing, domestic violence, destruction of property, larceny and assault.

He couldn't legally own a firearm because of his criminal record but used a stolen .40-caliber handgun in the shootings.

He told Cunningham he'd killed his father-in-law first and then his mother-in-law, estranged wife and their daughter. He also said he'd killed someone else but didn't mention he'd killed seven people in all.
