Reckless Epileptic Jailed For Tragic Car Crash

Life Ban: Stuart Lusher

An epileptic motorist, who ignored medical warnings not to drive, has been jailed for mounting the pavement and killing a pedestrian during an attack.

Stuart Lusher, 56, was locked-up for three-and-half years and has also been given a life driving ban.

He was driving his wife's car in the afternoon to visit her in hospital, where she was seriously ill.

Lusher, of Benhill Wood Road, Sutton pleaded guilty to causing the death of 48 year-old Philip Westnott by dangerous driving.

Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court heard he was behind the wheel of his wife's Mazda SUV in Merantun Way, Merton on June 27, last year.

At about 1.40pm he stopped at a red traffic light and suffered an epileptic seizure.

The seizure caused him to drive onto the pavement and collide with Mr. Westnott, who was struck from behind.

He was trapped by the car and suffered a catastrophic head injury.

Mr. Westnott was pronounced dead at the scene.

A police investigation established that Lusher had a history of epilepsy and chronic sleep apnoea and had ignored numerous medical warnings from medical professionals not to drive.

Detective Sergeant Jeff Edwards, of the Metropolitan Police's Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: "I must firstly pay tribute to family of Mr. Westnott for their dignity and courage during this difficult investigation.

“Mr. Lusher's decision to drive, despite warnings from medical staff, resulted in a terrible collision that cost an innocent man his life.

“The consequences of that day have resulted in an innocent man losing a life and now Mr. Lusher losing his liberty."

Movie Couple Blame Each Other For Boozy Birthday Party Brawl

Birthday Bash: Catherine Quantschnigg

A film industry couple inflicted injuries on each other during a late-night drunken birthday party brawl outside their luxury £2.6m home, a court heard.

The evening turned sour when film financier Gregory Browne, 49, and movie executive Catherine Quantschnigg, 42, began rowing violently in front of thirty guests.

One invitee was pushed down the stairs of the six-bedroom Edwardian house by Browne, receiving a cut to his ear, when the host found him wandering around the first floor.

Police arrested the couple, who have a four year-old daughter, in the early hours of October 11, last year at the house in Kitson Road, Barnes with each accusing the other of assault.

Catherine was earlier cleared of assault when Browne did not appear for her trial and on Thursday he was found not guilty at Wimbledon Magistrates Court of assaulting her.

The incident finally brought an end to their turbulent five-year on-off relationship, which they had tried to save when moving into the £6,000 a month property a month before.

“It was my birthday and house-warming party for around thirty guests and my parents flew over from Austria,” said Catherine, who is Head of Sales for Cornerstone films - makers of recent Amy Winehouse bio ‘Amy’.

£2K Booze Bill: Gregory Browne

She is the former vice-president of international sales for Goldcrest Films and the ex-president of Hollywood film distributor IM Global.

“I was outside saying goodbye to some guests when I heard a really loud noise from inside. The sound of someone being thrown down the stairs and screaming.

“My friend Ramin was bleeding from the ear, he broke a finger and went to hospital. There was blood everywhere.

“Ramin said: ‘Your boyfriend is insane. I don’t know what’s wrong with him.’

“He was very aggressive and very drunk and I believe also on drugs, it was very scary.”

Browne does not deny his push caused the guest’s fall, but insists he was not bleeding heavily and that Catherine exaggerated the injuries.

She told the court Browne violently blocked her from returning inside. “He held my wrists, grabbed me and threw me out.

“He pushed me and kicked me and I fell down the steps at the front of the house. My arm was black and blue and my knee was bruised.”

Browne, who helped finance Robert de Niro and John Travolta’s ‘Killing Season’ told the court Catherine bit a chunk out of his left hand, bit his arm and kicked him in the back with her stiletto heel, causing a fracture to one of his vertebrae.

He told the court she had been knocking back strong cocktails and was speaking intimately with ‘Ramin’ and a hedge fund manager for most of the evening.

Guest Plunged Down Stairs

Browne, who had bought £2,000 worth of alcohol for the event, approached the men and told them: “Enjoy my house, enjoy my party and it looks like my girlfriend as well.”

This sent her into a “violent rage” said Browne and she followed him outside. “I heard Catherine screaming abuse and she launched into me with punches and kicks.

“I pushed her away with my foot and turned and then felt a thud to my back. When I grabbed hold of her she bit a chunk out of my arm.”

Browne went upstairs and found ‘Ramin’ emerge from his daughter’s empty bedroom. “I said: ‘What the f*** are you doing?’ and he started mouthing off.

Couple Brawled At Front Door

“I said: ‘Get the f*** out’ and pushed him and he slipped and went down the stairs.”

He then tried to block Catherine entering the house. “I grabbed her and pushed her. She was standing on the steps in high heels and fell backwards.

“She’s not a small girl. She packs a punch and takes a big bite.”

Guest Maxine Henshilwood, 48, backed-up Browne’s account of being attacked by Catherine. “Kung Fu Panda comes past, arms flailing.

“She’s kicking and punching him. Then she went to hit me and attacked him again.”

Browne called 999 to complain he had been assaulted and when police arrived he flagged down their car, saying: “I’m the victim here. Don’t judge me yet.”

Mr. Tony Wyatt, defending, told the court: “This is a woman that will do anything and say anything to get herself out of trouble and see Mr. Browne convicted.”

The magistrates found Browne not guilty and chairman Mr. Gordon Lawson announced: “We did not find Miss Quantschnigg to be a credible and reliable witness.”

TK Maxx Cleaner Denies Filming Young Changing Room Woman On His Phone

A TK Maxx store cleaner claims he was washing skirting boards when he got down on his hands and knees to film a young woman trying on yoga pants in the store’s changing room, a court heard today.

The customer, an attractive brunette in her early twenties, spotted 45 year-old Vincenzo Mittica’s hand, clasping his mobile phone, emerge from under the partition.

“I was on my own in a changing room and had no idea of his intentions. I was scared,” she sobbed at Wimbledon Magistrates Court, where she gave evidence from behind a screen.

“I don’t believe it was a misunderstanding,” she added, rejecting the defendant’s claim he was simply checking his phone.

Italian Mittica, of Darwin Road, Ealing has pleaded not guilty to attempted voyeurism for the purpose of sexual gratification on July 31, last year at the Kew Retail Centre, Richmond-upon-Thames.

He will continue to be banned from every TK Maxx store in the country until his trial continues on October 14.

Prosecutor Mr. Bhavin Patel told the court it was 11am and the victim was shopping with her boyfriend’s mother for gym clothes and took two pairs of yoga pants and a third item to the changing room.

“She saw Mr. Mittica crouched down by the entrance and realised he was the cleaner. He looked up and carried on cleaning.

“She was concerned there was no female attendant then heard a lady’s voice.

“The complainant went inside, where there were two empty changing rooms and the cleaner was now inside and he made eye contact with her.

“She went to the furthest cubicle and began to undress and took off her trousers to try on the yoga pants.

“She heard someone come into the stall next to her and when she looked down saw  shadow.

“In the gap at the bottom of the partition she realised there was a smart phone being held up, with the screen facing up and light coming from it.

“It was titled at a thirty degree angle towards her and at times a part of the phone was on her side of the partition.

“She bent down to see what was on the screen and the phone moved out of sight and she heard someone leave the changing room.

“She looked out and saw the cleaner walking down the corridor away from her.”

The store manager was informed by the young woman who then called the police when she got home.

Mitotic was arrested and questioned a month later. “He said he was ordered to clean the skirting boards in the changing rooms.

“He was on his hands and knees when his phone made a noise and he took it out to look at it.

“He said he was not filming, but understood why someone would think that.”

Mr. Patel rejected this account and added: “He was not checking the phone, but using it to take photos of her in a state of undress.

“He was aware of where she is and it is unbelievable that he goes into the next cubicle to clean at that point in time.

‘When the complainant sees what is happening he leaves and does not go to another cubicle to continue cleaning.

“Stating that he was cleaning skirting boards is not a true account.”

Scottish Couple Battle It Out During Romantic Week At Luxury Hotel

In The Cab: James Smith

A couple's romantic weeklong trip to a luxury Kensington hotel ended in the husband's arrest for hitting his wife during a row in their room.

Musician and long-distance lorry driver James Smith, 54, has been forced to swap the four-star accommodation for night's in his vehicle's cab after being banned from the matrimonaial home.

He pleaded guilty yesterday to assaulting Amaya McKenzie-Smith at the 124 year-old Gore Hotel, which is near London's Royal Albert Hall on March 22.

Hammersmith Magistrates Court heard the couple – who married last year – travelled to the capital from their home in Park Avenue, Elderslie, Johnstone.

Prosecutor Mr. Robert Chambers told the court there was evidence the couple had been consuming alcohol and had an argument in their room after a day out shopping.

“There was pushing and Mrs McKenzie-Smith was pushed and slapped in the face.

“She left the room, but returned for her belongings and Mr. Smith told her if the police became involved he would tell them she had fallen over.

“She reported what had happened to the hotel staff and they called an ambulance and the police.”

A photograph of Mrs McKenzie-Smith was taken, which showed bruising to her face.

Thumped: Amaya McKenzie-Smith

When questioned Smith denied striking his wife, claiming he had to escort her out of their room three times due to her behaviour.

“He said the last time she entered the room she had bruising to her face, which had not been there before and they must have been self-inflicted,” added Mr. Chambers.

Smith claimed his wife had attacked him first and pulled his hair.

The court heard the couple are having a “time out” and the defendant is currently prohibited from contacting his wife or visiting the marital home as conditions of his bail.

Smith told the court he is currently living in his lorry and spending most of his time in Portugal.

“We just bought a property in Roehampton and we bought a house in Portugal because that's where we want to live.

“We both have property concerns and I manage the properties.”

He was bailed to return to court on September 22 for a pre-sentence report.

Woman No.2 Accused Of Blackmailing Rugby Star Danny Cipriani

A second woman accused of blackmailing rugby star Danny Cipriani for cash appeared in court for the first time today.

Violet Smith, 29, of Bath Road, Slough was sent by Wimbledon Magistrates Court to appear at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court for a preliminary hearing on September 20.

She faces one count of blackmail in that between September 1 and October 31, last year, with a view to gain for herself or another or with intent to cause loss to another, made an unwarranted demand of money from Danny Cipriani with menaces.

Wearing a lacy black dress, she only spoke during the brief hearing to confirm her name, age and address.

Her co-defendant, 39 year-old Lisa Murphy, of Montgomery Way, Wootton, Northampton appeared last week on the same charge and was bailed to appear at the crown court on the same date.

Smith, who indicated a not guilty plea to the charge, was released on bail on condition she does not contact Cipriani or Murphy.

Roehampton-born Cipriani, 28, currently plays for Premiership team Wasps as fly-half or fullback.

The six-foot-one England international was educated privately at Wimbledon College prep school Donhead.

His mother Anne, who split with his Afro-Trinidadian father Jay soon after his birth funded Danny’s education by becoming a black taxi driver.

An all-round sportsman Cipriani played junior football for QPR, was offered youth terms by Reading FC and played schoolboy cricket for Berkshire and Oxfordshire.

He won 14 England caps between 2008 and 2015 and has also played for Melbourne Rebels and Sale Sharks.

Earlier this year he was convicted of drink-driving after crashing his Mercedes into a mini-cab after a night out and was banned for 18 months and ordered to pay fines and costs totalling £7,620 for being nearly twice the legal limit.

He has dated a host of famous women including Kelly Brook, Sky Sports’ Kirsty Gallagher, Katie Price, Cheeky Girl Monica Irimia and Aussie models Lara Bingle and Jesinta Campbell. 

Opticians Wrecking-Spree Pensioner Rushed To Hospital From Crown Court

An upset customer, who laid waste to an optician's after he was refused a refund on a pair of specs - causing £10,000 worth of damage - was rushed by ambulance to hospital minutes before he was due to be sentenced.

Alan Parkinson, 68, of The Beeches, London Road, Mitcham, arrived at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court for a sentencing hearing, but was found collapsed in a stairwell.

He had been arrested and charged after utilising a metal chair during his wrecking spree after insisting he was due a discount on his recent purchase and threatening: "I'll destroy your shop."

Parkinson pleaded guilty to causing an affray at John Lewis Opticians, 261 London Road, Mitcham on February 27 and causing £10,000 worth of criminal damage to display cabinets, spectacles and a computer.

Prosecutor Mr. Paul Adams told Wimbledon Magistrates Court previously that Parkinson was a regular customer and entered the opticians at 10am.

"He wanted a refund for some glasses, he was not happy and said his daughter told him he had paid too much."

Parkinson, who has 243 offences on his record, was told there was no discount due because the frames and lenses had been bought at different times.

The store manager Zaid Shoaib and the consultant refused to budge, causing Parkinson further irritation.

"He was huffing and puffing and his eyes were bulging," added Mr. Adams. "He said: 'I know what I'll do, I'll destroy your shop.'

"He left but returned ten minutes later and said: 'Last chance. Are you going to give me a refund?'

"He picked up a chair and swung it around the store, destroying property including a glass cabinet, which shattered.

"He threw the chair in the direction of Mr. Shoaib and it missed.

"He picked up a glasses tray and threw it and then picked up a computer screen and smashed it."

As he left the scene of destruction Parkinson turned and warned the two men: "You don't know me."

District Judge James Henderson told Parkinson, who has convictions dating back to 1959, he would have to be sentenced at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court.

"This is all the more serious because it is a revenge attack. Mr. Parkinson did not like what was going on and took revenge on the store.

"This sort of behaviour is extremely serious. The criminal damage alone puts this in the Crown Court area, plus the affray, with a weapon, which is what this chair was."

Hedge Fund Boss Denies Bullying And Assaulting Fellow-Director Wife

A hedge fund boss has appeared in court accused of twice assaulting his fellow-director wife and bullying her at their £3.4m Knightsbridge home.

Former Deutsche Bank derivatives expert Guy Mitchinson, 38, runs Castilium Capital with ex-Merrill Lynch trader Alicia Vidler, 36, who says she was the victim of controlling and intimidating behaviour.

Mitchinson, who shared a house in First Street with Alicia appeared for the first time at Hammersmith Magistrates Court.

He no longer lives at the matrimonial home and has moved to an address in Holmdale Road, West Hampstead.

He is charged with engaging in controlling, coercive or intimidating behaviour towards Australian Miss Vidler between January 1 and July 23.

He also faces two counts of assaulting her at their home address on July 17.

They jointly founded Castilium Capital on January 19, 2012, with Mitchinson described as an investment manager.

Miss Vidler was an equity derivatives trader with Deutsche Bank in Sydney before moving to the UK.

Prosecutor Mr. Kevin Christie told the court: “She says there’s been bullying and coercive behaviour for five years and it has effected her mental well-being and she’s lost weight.”

The couple, who are divorcing, have no children.

He was granted bail on the condition he has no contact with Alicia except via solicitors, partners in Castilian or insolvency practitioners.

Big Ben Clock King's Road Rage Ding Dong

Police Mug: Hutchinson

The multi-millionaire owner of the company which built Big Ben’s clock attacked a motorist while walking near his £3m Thamesside penthouse apartment.

Property developer and businessman Iain Catleugh Hutchinson, 51,  reigned down half a dozen blows on his 66 year-old victim, who says he was then kicked while on the ground.

The Geordie entrepreneur is a director of E Dent & Co Ltd., a 202 year-old firm, which built the mechanism that chimes Big Ben.

Hutchinson, of Montevetro Buildings, 100 Battersea Church Road, Battersea pleaded guilty to assaulting Jeremy Lyons, causing him actual bodily harm, in nearby Whistlers Avenue on May 29.

CCTV in the driveway of Mr. Lyons’ £1.4m home captured the attack and the footage was played at Wimbledon Magistrates Court.

Prosecutor Miss Jackie Hughes said it was nearly 2pm when Mr. Lyons, who has retired after working at Lloyds for twenty-five years as a reinsurer, turned his car into his private gated estate.

“He had to brake suddenly to avoid the defendant, who had stepped out into the road, and they both looked at each other for a couple of seconds.

Attacked: Jeremy Lyons

“He saw the defendant, Mr. Hutchinson, mouth the word: ‘C***.’”

CCTV footage shows Hutchinson, who has previous criminal convictions, step over a low gate and confront bespectacled Mr. Lyons by his car.

Grabbing the victim with his left hand he aimed blows with his right fist at Mr. Lyons, who circled his vehicle in a bid to escape.

Stocky Hutchinson drags Mr. Lyons to the ground off-camera and then leaves the scene.

He was arrested after CCTV cameras at the Montevetro Buildings captured him entering the landmark complex and police obtained a warrant to force the images to be released.

He claims none of his six punches connected and denies kicking Mr. Lyons and pleaded guilty because he admits dragging him to the ground, causing injuries.

The victim suffered a cut to his left elbow, left ring finger, bruising to his left leg, plus pain to his back and neck.

He told police: “The incident left me shocked and scared. I have been attacked in my front garden and now I am worried about going out of my house in case he is there again.

“My glasses were also damaged,” added Mr. Lyons, who had a CT scan before the incident for two bulging discs in his spine.

“I told him I had a bad back and he continued the onslaught.”

Mr. Lyons drove himself to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital at the 3am that night and he has received injections for back spasms since the assault.

Hutchinson swings a right-hander

Speaking after Hutchinson admitted the attack, the victim said: “I stopped right in front of him and he nearly walked into my car.

“I looked him in the eye as if to say: ‘You were lucky.’ It’s not my fault he’s walked off the edge of the pavement.

“I drove into my road and in my rear-view mirror I could see he was ‘effing and blinding, swearing and shouting and thought: ‘That’s stupid.’

“He punched me seven times and I have a bad back, which previously needed two operations and the last thing I needed was him punching me.

“I was in agony everywhere and could not walk for two weeks and could not sleep for three nights.”

Mr. Lyons says only a neighbour responding to his pleas for help ended the attack.

"Onslaught" of punches continues

District Judge James Henderson said: “This is a sustained attack on a victim in his own front garden.

“The defendant chased the victim all around the houses as he tried to get away and the victim says there were kicks.”

Hutchinson was committed to Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court for sentencing on a date to be fixed.

Since he was charged Hutchinson has been banned by the police from entering Whistlers Avenue, interfering with witnesses or otherwise obstructing justice.

Dent supplied a timepiece to the 1st Duke of Wellington and built the new St. Pancras Station clock.

Former civil engineer Hutchinson’s dream was to build thousands of £300 per-week three-bed flats for Londoners.

He is currently an active director with 14 different companies.
