Knifeman's Fisherman's Excuse Fails To Get Him Off Hook

A knifeman's poor driving and lack of fishing equipment has seen him locked-up pending sentence for having the weapon and drugs in his car.
Daren Weekes, 33, of Upper Clapton Road, Clapton was stopped by undercover police patrolling his neighbourhood in unmarked cars.
He pleaded guilty at Thames Magistrates Court to possessing an offensive weapon and cannabis and was remanded in custody for sentencing at Wood Green Crown Court on May 11.
His excuse for having the knife for fishing fell apart when no rods, nets or equipment were found in his car.
On April 11 officers spotted Weekes' dark coloured Audi driving carelessly at 9.40pm at the junction of the A10 with Clapton Common.
Police followed the vehicle, which proceeded onto Geldeston Road and came to a halt.
The officers spoke with Weekes, who was driving the vehicle.
He admitted he had cannabis.
A search was conducted under the Misuse of Drugs Act and he then admitted to being in possession of a knife.
During the search, the cannabis and lock knife were recovered from his trouser pocket.
Weekes also had a 'man bag' containing further cannabis.
When questioned about the weapon, Weekes claimed it was a fishing knife.
He was challenged about the whereabouts of his fishing equipment and claimed he didn't have it with him.
He was arrested and taken to an east London police station.
The court heard that the defendant had a previous conviction for possession of an offensive weapon.
On July 24, 2016 he was found in possession of a machete.
He was sentenced to six months at Wood Green Crown Court on October 10, 2016.
Detective Inspector Paul Ridley, the borough knife crime lead from Hackney CID, said:"This case clearly demonstrates the importance of using a range of tactics to tackle knife crime.
The covert officers decisively acted when they observed the vehicle which has led to another knife being taken off the streets.
"The excuse Weekes used for being in possession of the weapon was pure fiction.
“The magistrate has clearly recognised the seriousness of this offence and immediately directed the case to be heard at the Crown Court, refusing bail.
"Hackney officers and the Metropolitan as a whole will continue using these positive tactics whilst people believe they can blatantly carry knives without consequences.
“We have recently sadly witnessed the horrific effects of these weapons.
"If you are aware of any knife carriers then report to police or anonymously via Crimestoppers - you will almost certainly save a life."

Drug Dealer Caught By Gang Police

Gangbusting cops pounced on a drug dealer being driven around north-west London, who is now starting a three-year prison sentence.
Brent Gangs Unit pulled over a blue Audi containing Romarne Young, 24, of Stafford Road, West Kilburn on August 27, last year.
He was sentenced at Harrow Crown Court for offering to supply crack cocaine and heroin and possession of cocaine.
At approximately 7.40pm, officers patrolling Albert Road, Kilburn spotted the car acting suspiciously.
When officers stopped the vehicle, Young was found inside with two mobile phones in his hands.
The vehicle was searched and cocaine was found under the driver’s seat.
The 24-year-old driver of the vehicle attempted to flee the scene but was detained.

When the driver was searched he was found to have concealed cannabis in his mouth and mobile phone and was later jailed for eight weeks.
Text messages on the mobile phones of both men identified them as supplying drugs.
Investigating officer, Detective Constable Jo Trist from the Brent Gangs Unit said: “I am pleased with the sentence given.
Young played a significant role in the supply of drugs across London.
“I hope the sentence handed down will give him adequate time to reflect on his criminal activity.”

Two Thugs Who Inflicted Devastating Skull Injury Jailed

Two thugs, who battered an acquaintance so severely part of his skull had to be removed to alleviate bleeding on the brain, have been locked-up.

Ahmed Amizane, 44, (pic. l.) and Stuart Battams, 46, (pic. r.) left their victim needing 37 staples to hold his skull together, pending further surgery.
They were both convicted at Blackfriars Crown Court of inflicting grievous bodily harm and Amizane received 33 months and Battams 31 months.
The court heard how on October 1, last year they were both with the victim, Dennis Clarke, near Camden High Street.
The three men walked to Carlow Street where Amizane and Battams subjected Mr. Clarke to an apparently unprovoked attack.
A member of the public came to Mr. Clarke’s assistance and stayed with him until officers and London Ambulance Service (LAS) arrived.
The victim was taken to an east London hospital where he underwent major surgery to release the pressure from a bleed on the brain.
A large section of his skull was removed and he required 37 staples to his head.
He now wears a protective helmet pending further surgery later this year to replace the segment of skull.
Detectives identified Amizane from CCTV and arrested him on October 6.
Mr. Clarke Needs More Surgery  
He was found to be in possession of the victim’s mobile phone.

Battman’s was arrested on October 17.
Detective Constable Colin Anderson, from the Metropolitan Police's Central North Command, said: "Both Amizane and Battams gave no consideration to the severity of their actions and the ultimate consequences on both the quality of life for Mr. Clarke, and the impact on those who witnessed it.
"They did now show any remorse for their actions during the trial."
Detective Inspector Thomas Kearney, added: "I am proud of the work by the first responders and detectives from Central North.
“With the support and quick thinking of the public and officers first on scene, Mr. Clarke was able to receive the treatment he so desperately needed.
"There is no doubt that the consequences to Mr. Clarke would have been more severe without this intervention.
"In addition, two more violent people are currently off the streets. I hope this provides confidence to our community that we will pursue and bring offenders to justice for their actions.”

Fatal Cannabis Fire: Pair Sentenced

Ricky Bowen
Two people prosecuted after a fatal fire claimed the life of a man suspected of growing cannabis in a council block’s caretaker room have been sentenced.

Ricky Bowen, 31, of Nunhead Grove, Peckham was originally charged with unlawfully killing 25 year-old Grant Fenn, who spent three months in a coma after the explosion and arson.

However, at Blackfriars Crown Court he was only convicted of producing cannabis and was sentenced to six months imprisonment, suspended for twelve months.

The victim reportedly suffered 98% burns and was placed in an induced coma at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, where he passed away on August 2, 2016.

In the early hours of April 11 the caretaker’s room at Coniston House, Wyndham Road, Camberwell burst into flames.

Father-of-one Mr. Fenn was airlifted to hospital with another man, who was also treated for injuries and discharged.

Afterwards police revealed the room was being used to cultivate cannabis.

Katherine Granger
Also charged alongside Bowen was 24 year-old Katherine Granger, of Draper House, Wyndham Estate, Elephant and Castle.

She was originally charged with conspiring to pervert the course of justice by giving a false witness statement to the police on May 13, 2016.

However, following a jury trial she was only convicted of permitting the supply of cannabis at her home address on April 10 and received a three-year conditional discharge.

The pair originally appeared in the dock together at Camberwell Green Magistrates Court.

Because the case involved a fatality they were both sent for trial to the Old Bailey, which then transferred it to Blackfriars Crown Court.

Brothers Jailed For Teen Stabbing

Ardit & Marcel Sokoli
Two brothers involved in stabbing a 16 year-old just after he got off a bus in south-east London have each been jailed for twelve years.
Ardit Sokoli, 20, and Marcel Sokoli, 18, both of Hither Green, Catford carried out the vicious attack in Lee High Road on September 20, last year.
They were convicted at Woolwich Crown Court of inflicting grievous bodily harm.
They must serve at least two-thirds of the sentences in custody and will be on license for seven years upon release.
The court heard that around 6.00pm a London Ambulance Service crew called police to Cressingham Road, Hither Green, following reports of a stabbing.
Officers attended and discovered the teenager at the scene suffering from a stab wound to the shoulder.
He was conveyed to a south London hospital where he was treated.
His injuries were deemed to be not life-threatening or life-changing.
Officers began an investigation into the incident and established that the victim had exited a route 122 bus in the Lee High Road area.
He was approached by a group of males who attacked him before he was able to flee, eventually ending up in Cressingham Road.
CCTV enquiries identified the brothers as responsible for the attack.
They were arrested at their home address on October 5 and charged the following day.
It is suspected that the victim was known to the attackers but this could not be proven.
Detective Constable James Farrimond, of the Trident and Area Crime Command, led the investigation.
He said: “Now more than ever we need sentences like this to deter youths from carrying knives.
Thankfully this was not a fatal incident, but it is just as needless and alarming.
Now these two brothers will spend some of the best years of their lives in prison when they could have done so many other positive things.
“I would urge any youth concerned in carrying a knife to think whether this is what they want to happen to them.”

Failed Algerian Asylum Seeker Jailed For £370K Benefit Fraud

Boudemagh: £370k Benefit Fraud
A failed Algerian asylum seeker, who used five other identities during a £370,000 benefit fraud, has been jailed for five years.

Saif Boudemagh, 41, used a forged French identity card to illegally enter the UK in March, 2000 and when his asylum appeal failed he successfully obtained residency via marriage to a UK citizen after another appeal.

The father-of-one, who was given a one-bed council flat at Blake House, Brecknock Road Estate, Upper Holloway immediately began claiming benefits once he received his National Insurance number.

Between June, 2007 and April, 2015 he made multiple claims in fake French identities for Housing Benefit, (HB); Council Tax Benefit (CTB); Income Support (IS); Carer’s Allowance (CA); Incapacity Benefit, (IB); Employment Support Allowance, (ESA) and Disability Living Allowance, (DLA).

Remarkably Boudemagh was still in receipt of HB and Child Tax Credits up to the day of his imprisonment, but he will not face confiscation proceedings because no assets have been found.

The Department of Work & Pensions say the only way they can recover any money is by making small deductions to any benefits he receives after his release.

Boudemagh, who received full British citizenship in October, 2007 was convicted of twelve counts of fraud by a Blackfriars Crown Court jury and acquitted of five more, totalling £100,000.

As well as his own bogus applications Boudemagh also claimed £16,798 in CA for looking after non-existent pal Jamel Bensaid, 42, whose id pocketed £25,618 in IB; £16,849 in ESA; £32,104 in DLA; £95,443 in HB and £5,790 in CTB.  
He Even Enjoyed Free Disabled Travel

A fake French passport was used by Boudemagh to establish identity.

Prosecutor Mr. Andrew Evans told the jury: “However, this was not a genuine document and the Home Office has no record or trace of an identity in that name.

“There is conclusive evidence that some of the forms relating to benefit claims in that name were completed in the defendant’s handwriting.”

Boudemagh told the jury he was innocently completing benefit claim forms as an English-speaker for members of the close-knit north London Algerian community.

Benefit claims also made in the name of Sidhamad Ayad, 39. “A false French passport was also submitted as proof of identity in support of these claims and the photo on this passport is that of the defendant,” said Mr. Evans.

“His mobile phone number is given as the claimants’ contact number.”
Another Forged French Passport

This identity received a total of £41,746 in IB and ESA after Boudemagh concocted a bogus tale this claimant needed a walking stick and toilet hand rails.

Another £14,251 was paid out in DLA and £22,519 in HB.

He also used fake French identity documents to make benefit claims in name of Allel Zerabib, 44, and Taric Ziad, 45, and “hijacked” the genuine identity of Frenchwoman Nadia Regad, 42.

By now she was a married mum-of-two living in Paris, but her identity was used to claim £4,235 in CA for ‘Mr. Zerabib’ who received ESA totalling £16,172 and £17,195 in DLA.

This id was also exploited to collect £46,172.15 in HB and CTB.

Boudemagh pocketed a further £14,626 in DLA using the Ziad identity.

The Department for Work & Pensions paid benefits on the basis the claimants had depression, schizophrenia, anxiety, varicose veins, lower back pain and in one case a disabled finger.

Boudemagh’s flat was raided on April 7, 2015 and documents were found in the names of the false claims and bank cards for accounts the money was paid into.

He even used a disabled Freedom Pass in a false identity to enjoy free transport around the capital.

“This defendant played a leading role in the offending, involving at least one other,” said Mr. Evans. ‘It was a sophisticated offence requiring planning and the hijacking of identities to claims benefits and completion of medical evidence.”

Benefit fraud was a family affair, with his brother Redouane Boudemagh, 46, an illegal immigrant, receiving three years imprisonment for a £218,000 scam last year.

Boudemagh applied for asylum on arrival in 2000, which was refused and he was issued with a notice for removal from the UK.

On January 30, 2002 he applied to stay as a spouse of British citizen, which was refused, but Boudemagh successfully appealed on April 15, 2004.

He immediately began claiming benefits as the carer of his wife, Paula Boudemagh, and since February, 2009 claimed Income Support as single-parent of their son, now aged fourteen years-old.

He claimed HB and CTB at three different addresses they have resided at since.

After the police and DWP raid he refused to answer questions at Islington Police Station. 

Judge Jane Sullivan told him last week: ‘It cannot be said you showed remorse. You fought the case in the face of overwhelming evidence.”

Man's Life Destroyed By Snooker Hall Fight A Decade Ago: Police Renew Appeal

Marcus Bouskill Has Never Recovered
Detectives investigating a fight outside a bar in south-east London ten years ago, which left a man needing constant hospital care continue to appeal for information. 
On Tuesday, February 26, 2008 Marcus Bouskill, then aged 35, was found collapsed at his home address in Parkfield Road, New Cross.
He had been involved in an altercation three days before in the early hours of Saturday, February 23 outside Racks Snooker and Pool bar in Well Hall Road, Eltham.
In the lead up to the incident, Marcus had been to the Crown pub on Court Road with colleagues and friends after work on the Friday evening.
He went on to visit Racks Snooker and Pool bar at about 11.00pm.
Marcus agreed with a colleague that he would be picked up for work at 8.30am the following morning to travel to work.
It is then believed that Marcus and two of his friends got into an altercation with a group of youths in the bar.
When they were removed from the premises by security staff, a fight is believed to have continued outside.
At 1.30am, Marcus called his colleague who was due to pick him up for work to say that he would not be able to attend work later that morning.
He explained that he had suffered a ‘bit of a hiding’ but was ok.
Marcus refused medical treatment and made his way home on foot.
At approximately 9.30am that same morning, the colleague who was due to pick him up for work paid a visit to Marcus’s home to check he was ok.
He was found covered in blood with a black eye and broken nose and was unable to recollect who had attacked him or why.
At this time, Marcus was in a stable condition and his colleague stayed with him until midday and left after Marcus explained he didn’t wish to attend hospital.
In the coming days, Marcus’s condition deteriorated and despite his friends and family making calls to check on him, he wasn’t heard from for the next two days.
On Tuesday, his mother went to his home and could see Marcus inside the address; collapsed on the floor.
Officers forced entry into the property and Marcus was found in a life-threatening condition.
He was taken to a south London hospital where he now requires constant medical attention.
Numerous arrests have been made and have all since been released with no further action.
Police from Greenwich CID continue to investigate to bring those responsible to justice.
During the course of the investigation detectives have followed and eliminated numerous investigative leads, viewed many hours of CCTV and have spoken to a large number witnesses.
Even after ten years there are still ongoing enquiries into a number of lines of enquiry.
Detective Inspector Edward Wilkinson, who is leading the investigation, said: "Throughout the last ten years we have spoken to a number of witnesses in an attempt to find out exactly what happened on the night of the attack.
"We have attempted to trace Marcus’s exact whereabouts and establish what lead to the fight breaking out.
"We believe a number of white youths were involved that Marcus had previously met at the Post Office pub just a few weeks earlier, however the cause of the altercation remains unclear.
"Marcus is described as a friendly and well-liked man who got on with everybody.
"Work will continue to find out exactly what happened on the night of the attack which led to Marcus sustaining brutal and shocking injuries which he will sadly never recover from.
"I know there were a lot of people in the area at the time of the incident and indeed many people who were even in contact with Marcus in the days before he was discovered by police.
"Did you see him that night?
"Whilst we have made significant progress in establishing what has happened, I am appealing directly to those who have not yet come forward.
"Any information, no matter how small could be of vital use."

Anyone with information is asked to contact Greenwich CID on 0208 284 9425; or to remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Pensioner Accepts Restraining Order Against Ex

A pensioner, who was charged with harassing his ex, has been slapped with a restraining order which bans him from contacting the woman anymore.

Anthony Garrett, 69, of Tandridge Road, Warlingham, Surrey had always fought the charge and it was dropped yesterday on the day of trial.

Wimbledon Magistrates Court then made the order, which has the consent of both Garrett and his ex, for the next twelve months.

He was found not guilty of harassing Valerie Mair between July 31 and September 10, last year by sending messages and texts.

Prosecutor Carly Loftus told the court the couple's six-year relationship ended in June, last year.

“This defendant continued to contact the complainant and when she sent him an email confirming the relationship was over he replied: 'You're in trouble.'

“She heard a noise late at night at her home on August 18 and saw the defendant walking back to his car.

“He tried to add her to a WhatsApp group on August 31 and in September contacted her on WhattsApp.”

The court heard the woman also received bank transfers into her account of 69p which had the references 'Tony', 'Val' and 'Old Times.'

She was also sent fake tattoos and between September 3 and 6 Garrett tried to contact her via email and facebook.

The last attempted contact was on September 6, last year and there had been no complaints from the woman since.

Bouncer Put On Sex Offenders List For Cabaret Club Grope

Midnight Grope: Proud Cabaret
A bouncer at a landmark cabaret club in the heart of the City who sneaked up behind a female customer, held her hips and kissed her on the neck, has been placed on the Sex Offenders Register for five years.

Desmond Augustus Young, 51, was convicted of sexually assaulting the woman, who attended the 1920's-themed Proud Cabaret with a group of friends, on January 27.

Prosecutor Miss Carly Loftus told the trial it was half an hour after midnight when the complainant arrived at the nightspot, which boasts burlesque and jazz amongst its live entertainment.

The defendant was working as security staff and checked the woman and her friends' ID as they entered the club.

Once inside he approached her from behind, held her hips, pressed himself against her and kissed her neck.”

The woman reported the incident to the club and the police were called.

CCTV was seized, which captured the incident.

Sex Video Boyfriend Of Woman Who Plunged To Her Death Gets Suspended Jail Sentence

A masters degree student, who shared a sexually-explicit clip of his girlfriend performing oral sex on him in a phone box a week before she plunged to her death, has received a suspended prison sentence.

Alessio Bianchi, 26, also admitted throttling her on the balcony of their eighth-floor flat - claiming he was trying to stop her jumping.

The Italian pleaded guilty to assaulting Miss Damilya Jossipaliyena, 24, on June 2, last year at his home at Sunken Beck Building, 5 Hermitage Street, Central London.

He says he was trying to save the life of Damilya, originally from Kazakhstan, who was threatening to jump, but she sadly apparently took her life shortly afterwards.

Bianchi, who studies at Regent’s College, also admitted disclosing private sexual images of her without consent, with intent to cause her distress on May 25.

He sent a clip to a friend of Damilya performing the sex act on him, which made its way back to her. 

At Southwark Crown Court he was sentenced to twelve weeks imprisonment, suspended for twelve months.

Bianchi must also complete a thirty-day rehabilitation activity requirement and pay £250 costs.

Prosecutor Mr. Edward Cohen told the court on a previous occasion: “In terms of the assault the Crown’s case is the assault started upstairs in the flat between the defendant and the complainant.

“He grabbed hold of her throat and hit her on top of the head and punched her several times.

“He says he was trying to stop her jumping out of the window.”

The struggle continued in a downstairs courtyard. “It is alleged by the Crown he grabbed hold of the complainant and pulled her into a fountain in the building and shoved her head onto a chair.

“He accepts there was a struggle downstairs and she ended up in the water.

“The complainant in this case sadly committed suicide not long after this assault allegation.”

Bianchi’s lawyer Mr. Steven Powles said: “The defendant’s position is inside the flat the complainant was attempting to jump off the eighth floor of the balcony.

“This was not the first time time she attempted to take her life. Outside she was attempting to re-enter and in the course of that is how she ended up in the water.

“In her own statement she says there was pushing into the water. She did not mention slamming into the chair.”
