Notorious Killer Call Girl Keeps Offending

A notorious former high-class call girl, jailed for killing an elderly client nine years ago, has been sentenced for her third violent offence since her release.

Natalia Woolley, 47, spat in the face of a pub manageress when refused service for being drunk in the middle of the afternoon, Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court heard.

In 2012 she received three years imprisonment for the manslaughter of 69 year-old Winston Fernandez, who suffered 17 fractured ribs and a broken neck at his £1m Epsom home.

She advertised her services on the websites ’24carat escorts’ and ‘Diamond Escorts’ and used a number of aliases, while passing herself as ten years younger than she actually was.

The sites described Russian-born Woolley - who is separated from her English husband - as “incredibly sexy” and “all things to all men.”

Now living in an apartment overlooking the All England Club in Lakeview Court, Wimbledon Park Road and receiving £800 per month Universal Credit she pleaded guilty to assaulting Hannah Hubbard on June 4.

Prosecutor Mr Luke Staton told the court Woolley turned up drunk at The Gardeners pub in Merton Road, Southfields at 2.15pm, ignoring their entrance and exit covid protocols.

“The victim was working as an assistant manager and was standing outside when she saw the defendant enter through the exit door.

“She was stumbling in and the victim was unable to understand what she was saying.

“She appeared to be trying to get served by staff and Ms Hubbard informed her she was not going to be served because she was intoxicated.

“The defendant left the pub whispering: ‘You’re so f***ing boring,’ as she passed Ms Hubbard, but returned five minutes later, again through the exit door.”

Mother-of-one Woolley confronted the victim again. “She kept following Ms Hubbard around the pub, while being verbally aggressive, saying words to the effect of: ‘You don’t have kids’.

“The defendant proceeded to take a big breath and spat at Ms Hubbard. The saliva landed on the right side of her forehead and her eyebrow.

“The defendant then headed out of the exit and Ms Hubbard was crying and upset about what happened and went to the bathroom to clean the saliva off her face.

“The pub door was shut to prevent the defendant coming back in and the police were called.”

In her victim impact statement Ms Hubbard said: “It was very frightening and triggered anxiety and I was shaken.

“I only stopped shaking two hours later. I do not come to work to be spat at and did not expect this in the middle of the afternoon.”

Woolley has a conviction in July, 2016 for battery and in July last year was placed on a two-year community order for assaulting an emergency worker and ordered to complete 120 hours community service.

Her lawyer Daniel Cavaglieri told the court: “Ms Woolley has struggled with alcohol for a number of years and after this incident it acted as a wake-up call and she appreciates she needs to address the issue.

“After her arrest she got in contact with alcohol services and has taken steps to address her alcohol abuse.”

The court heard Woolley has engaged with Wandsworth Community Drug and Alcohol Services and USA-based Big Book Alcoholics anonymous. 

Regarding her last sentence the lawyer added: “Very few, if not zero unpaid hours of community service have been completed, but she is not in breach. There has been a breakdown in communication.”

Woolley was sentenced to a twelve-month community order, with 25 days of a rehabilitation activity requirement and ordered to pay £50 costs and a £95 victim surcharge.

She was also ordered to complete with an electronically-tagged nighttime curfew between 7pm and 7am for the next eight weeks and pay £200 compensation to Ms Hubbard.

“This is a nasty offence,” said magistrate Justine Johnson. “Spitting in someone’s face is as nasty as it can get and spit is regarded as a weapon in covid times.

“We have had a read of the paperwork you have submitted and read the probation report, a nice full report that helps our job.

“We have heard the nature of the offence. You went back time and time again and harassed the victim.

“We are not going to be putting you into custody. It has not breached the custody threshold.

“We are going to ask probation to look at any alcohol treatment element, which by your own admission is something that needs to be addressed to change your behaviour and protect the public.

“This individual was going about their job in the service industry, serving the public and they were assaulted in a very nasty manner during covid.”

Woolley - who now goes by the name Natasha - and has a new partner was cleared by a Guildford Crown Court jury of murdering retired accountant Mr Fernandez, who she claimed attacked her.

His decomposing body was discovered one month later and Woolley claimed he received the fatal injuries when she kicked out at his chest in self-defence and fell on top of him while attempting to flee his clutches.

End Of Road For 'County Lines' Drug Dealer

A 'County Lines' drug dealer, who used children to sell his crack cocaine, heroin and cannabis, is starting a sentence of five years and two months.

Donell Willis, 21, of Ascot Close, Northolt, west London pleaded guilty at Isleworth Crown Court to conspiring to supply drugs.

The court heard that following a rise in gang tensions the Metropolitan Police's West Area crime squad commenced an operation to target gang drug lines. 

One such line, the “Billy line” was identified from a series of requests for communications data. 

The drug line was attributed to Willis. 

It was believed that it was to control the line and use juveniles and other vulnerable people to sell drugs on behalf of the line. 

A variety of covert methods were utilised to identify the activity of Willis and his associates. 

In March officers from West Area Crime squad executed a drugs search warrant in Greenford. 

The residents of this address had been identified as conspiring with the line-holder, Willis to supply class A drugs. 

He was subsequently arrested. 

A search of the address revealed a quantity of crack cocaine, cannabis and amphetamine along with £2500 in cash. 

A total of 39g of class A drugs were recovered and 1KG of Class b including cannabis and amphetamine. 

Detective Inspector Jo Rajkovic, West Area Command said: “County lines activity has a devastating effect on young people, vulnerable adults and local communities, tackling County lines and disrupting gang activity is a priority for the West Area Proactive and Gangs teams. 

“This was a great piece of work undertaken by the Ealing Proactive Team led by ADS Smith and the officer in the case PC Mike Davey. 

“The Operation was protracted, detailed and utilised various covert methods, this is an excellent result with significant sentences imposed by the Judge.”

GP Guilty Of Gay Smears

Dr. Suthan Ulakanathan

A respected GP’s career is in danger after he was convicted yesterday of harassing his builder by advertising his services as a gay escort online when the pair fell out over money.

Dr. Suthan Ulakanathan, 37, twice posted the ‘Gay Escort’ ads on the Vivastreet website under the headline: ‘Free Open Glory Hole All Night And Day,’ Croydon Magistrates’ court heard.

“At the time I wanted to wind him up. I felt he had taken advantage of me and my family,” said the doctor, dismissing the posts as a “harmless prank.”

However, Deputy District Judge Adrian Turner did not agree and convicted Dr. Ulakanathan after a trial of harassing ex-soldier Steven Hay, 30, between September 9 and November 14, last year.

“A lot of thought went into how you got your own back,” he told Dr. Ulakanathan, who now faces a General Medical Council professional misconduct probe. “This was not a sudden reaction. It was planned and calculated.”

The University of London graduate, a partner at Downhill Medical Practice, Guards Avenue, Caterham was fined £2,000, with £720 costs and ordered to pay a £190 victim surcharge.

The trial heard Dr. Ulakanathan, of Holmwood Avenue, South Croydon added the builder’s name, genuine mobile phone number and residential address in Stafford Road, Croydon to the posts.

He added the words: ‘young 30 year-old male, all types welcome, confidential, if free come to mine, will be in all day most days,’ to both adverts.

Dr. Ulakanathan’s lawyer Susannah Stevens told the court: “There are proceedings before the GMC and whether he has got a job after this remains to be seen.

Steven Hay

“It has already been published in full technicolour with his photograph. His name has been ruined. His neighbours and patients will read about this.

“It is utterly humiliating. He has been punished.”

The builder told the court the pair fell out over a fence installation with the doctor only paying £300 of the £600 bill, however the GP claims he and his family were threatened into paying  an excessive amount.

Prosecutor Melanie Hardwick told the court: “The defendant employed Mr Hay, a roofer, back in late August, last year to do work on a fence. There was a dispute and the parties went their separate ways.

“Mr Hay received a phone call from someone saying that they got his phone number from Vivastreet, which advertises gay escorts and asked him if he wanted to meet up.”

The builder was enjoying a drink in the pub when the first text arrived. “They texted: ‘Hey You,’ with a kiss and I thought it may be an ex-girlfriend,” he told the trial.

“They proceeded to ring me and it was a man with an Indian accent who said he found me on Vivastreet.

“He said: ‘Do you want to meet up for a good time?’ and it continued from a number of people at different times and was quite intense for the first month, everyday and late at night and the early hours of the morning.

“It got fifty to sixty calls and texts for three months,” added Mr Hay, saying the anxiety triggered his PTSD. “I lost sleep and friends because I did not know who was doing it and missed work.”

On one occasion a man turned up at his house in response to the advert and spoke to Mr. Hay’s mother, causing the builder to dash home.

“The bloke was so embarrassed and I felt for them. I told the police it was a hate crime because these people would not know I might have been homophobic and attack them.”

The first ad was live for five days and the second two days.

“One person turned up at his house asking for sexual services and that made him anxious at a time his mother was at home shielding,” said the prosecutor.

On February 13, this year Dr. Ulakanathan was arrested and told officers Mr. Hay was a “cowboy” who failed to complete a fence job for a memorial garden dedicated to his late father.

“He fully accepted setting up the two accounts and did not think the first was saved properly and did it a second time and then wanted to delete them but did not know how to,” explained Ms Hardwick.

“He said the complainant was a cowboy builder and the work had to be redone.”

Mr Hay admitted: “I messed him about a bit,” confirming he walked off the job because the doctor did not want to pay for more labour and materials to finish the fence.

The ten-year GP told the court of his motives. “To peev him off in a harmless, childish way, a prank. 

“I thought he would find it silly and irritating. It was never my intention that anyone would come to his house or for him to be threatened or distressed.”

Dr. Ulakanathan said PTSD caused by the covid deaths of his father Ulaganathan Subramaniam, 65, uncle Sivananthan, 56 and cousin in quick succession last year was responsible for his behaviour.

He told the trial he was known for childish, silly pranks from his university and medical school days and one of his court references referred to his “childish sense of humour.”

He said the first advert was posted on his wedding anniversary and the second on a Hindu “auspicious day” when his toddler daughter was dressed in a traditional outfit bought by his late father.

“There were emotions I never fully understood at the time, leading me to behave in an inappropriate way.

“The emotions that I was going through triggered me to react in such a way and be childish an immature,” he told the trial.

Married Dr. Ulakanathan has a two year-old daughter and his wife is expecting their second child at there end of this year.

He claimed the stress of running his medical practice, where he has been a partner for five years, under covid conditions and seeing patients, who were positive had increased his anxiety.

The GP insisted Mr Hay threatened him and his family when demanding another £300 for the job, after he agreed and paid a total of £1600.

“I was scared he might do something and was prepared to pay anything to end the drama. He said if I did not pay him £300 he was going to tear down my fence and he knows where me and my family live.”

The doctor knew about Vivastreet from once searching for a pregnancy massage kit for his wife, but claims he only posted twice because he did not know if the first post was successfully published.

“I put it on there and did not get any confirmation it had gone through.

“Several months later I went back and searched on Vivastreet using some of the words I used to make the advert and I could not see anything in the gay escorts section.

“I thought it hadn’t gone through, that it had not worked so I put it on again.”

Police arrived at the family home to arrest Dr. Ulakanathan. “I was changing a nappy and getting ready for work when there was a knock on the door and I saw the police van from upstairs and thought: ‘Has something happened to my mother and sister?’

“Three police officers came into the house and took me into my living-room and in front of my wife and daughter told me I was under arrest and I was put in a police van and I was in a cell for several hours.

“It was a surreal, horrible experience. I was very confused and did not know what was going on.

“I thought what I posted was not abusive or threatening and Mr Hay’s name, address and phone number was already published on a public forum, that’s how I found him.

“I did not hide my details or hide my IP address. I did not disguise.”

The GP was asked what would happen if he knew it was a criminal act when he posted the ads. “It would be the end of my career,” he told the court.

“It was the grief that led to me acting in a childish and silly way.”

When cross-examined Dr. Ulakanathan insisted: “I wanted to wind him up. It was never my intention to get back at him.

“It’s not in my character to do that, to get revenge. I was not even expecting anyone to call him for these services to be honest.”

 Convicting Dr. Ulakanathan Deputy District Judge Turner announced: “He is a man with a distinguished professional record, a medical practice, is of good character and is highly regarded by his professional colleagues.

“The wedding anniversary was some sort of trigger against Mr. Hay that day. When you give someone’s name, phone  number and address it’s to cause maximum inconvenience.

“The means chosen for revenge were chosen for maximum effect. This was in no way a prank and it was never meant to be a prank at all.

“This was very, very serious and I have no hesitation saying it is conduct deserving to be marked by a conviction.

“It grieves me to see a man in his position, his background and of his character where he is now, but I can’t allow that to effect me.”

'Dog Whisperer' Guilty Of Having Martial Arts Weapon

An award-winning self-styled ‘Dog Whisperer’ caught with a martial arts weapon failed to dodge the charge yesterday by claiming he needed it to ward off “vicious” pooches.

On his professional profile Bruce Clanford, 46, describes himself as: “the ONLY qualified and registered Dog Whisperer in the World!”

He told police when taken into custody for having the wooden baton - known as a ‘Tonfa’ - : “I took it out years ago when I was dealing with vicious dogs.

“I am a genuine, harmless guy, a pillar of the community. I am a Dog Whisperer.”

Clanford, of West Road, Emsworth, Hampshire, who graduated from the University of Greenwich with a degree in Animal Behaviour and Ethology, was stopped by police for parking on a double yellow line.

When officers searched his blue Mitsubishi Lancer they found the foot-and-a-half long weapon by the drivers’ seat.

He did not appear for his trial at Croydon Magistrates’ Court, where he was convicted of possessing an offensive weapon in Bristow Road, Sutton on March 3.

Clanford is the Managing Director of Dog Whisperer World and a registered therapist specialising in aggression; barking; anxiety; separation issues; pulling on the lead and recall.

He charges £75 for one-on-one dog counselling and other services are available on application on a base-by-case basis.

A warrant was issued for his arrest and police may pick him up when collecting his 2021 gong for ‘Dog Behaviour Specialist of the Year’ at the Prestige Awards for small businesses, hosted by Corporate LiveWire.

PC Julie Mustart told the trial there were suspicions concerning Clanford’s female passenger and the vehicle was subjected to a drugs search.

No illegal substances were found.

However, the martial arts baton was found lying next to the drivers’ seat and Clanford told police at the roadside: “I didn’t know it was a problem. I do training.”

PC Mustart told the court: “He’s a dog trainer, he said. Quite well-known as a dog behaviourist.”

Clanford claimed in his police interview he did not even known the baton was by his side and had just transferred all of his property from an old car into this new one.

He claimed to have brought it with him once to treat an aggressive Rottweiler, who had hospitalised four members of the same family.

“I have scars and scratches on my arms from when I have handled vicious dogs.

“It is what I have done for twenty years and I thought it would aid my protection when dealing with vicious dogs and would save my arms.”

However the magistrates ruled Clanford had no lawful reason to have the weapon in public and convicted him.

Mask Row Bus Passenger Wanted For Spitting

A bus passenger, who refused to wear a mask, spat on the glass front door when ordered off the service in north-west London.

The passenger also verbally abused the driver and police have released this image of their suspect and are appealing to the public for assistance in identifying him.

A man boarded an 83 bus near Wembley Stadium at 10.40pm on Friday, April 16 and was challenged by the driver for being unmasked.

He promised to put a mask on and took a seat upstairs.

At the Lakeside Shop, Empire Way the driver lost patience and told the passenger he would have to get off the bus for refusing to wear a mask.

He walked to the front of the bus, shouted insults at the driver and spat on the glass front door.

PC Matt Cannon, of the Metropolitan Police’s Roads and Transport Policing Command said: “Bus drivers have worked throughout the pandemic at great risk to themselves, providing an essential service to key workers and others who rely on public transport to get around.

“Any assault against a driver doing their job is unacceptable, but spitting, given the threat posed by Covid-19 and what we know about how it is transmitted, is particularly appalling.

“We have been pursuing alternative lines of enquiry to identify this man but so far, it has not been possible to locate him.

“I’m hopeful the public hold the key to finding out who and where he is.”

Anyone who can identify the suspect is asked to call 101, quoting reference 1908495/21.

Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Bus Passenger Robbed: Do You Know This Suspect?

A bus passenger was threatened onboard a west London service and robbed of his phone and cash.

The male victim boarded a 452 bus near Kensal Rise travelling to Vauxhall at 7.35pm on Sunday, July 25.

He took a seat on the lower deck and the suspect boarded a few stops later and sat next to him.

While travelling through Ladbroke Grove the unknown male threatened the passenger and took the items while making threats.

Detective Inspector John Millward said: “If you recognise this man or have any information about his whereabouts, please contact police right away. It is vital we identify him.

“We believe he is a mixed race male, age approximately eighteen to nineteen years-old, approximately 5’10” tall, of slim build with black wavy shoulder length hair.

“No piece of information is insignificant and could help us with the investigation.”

Anyone who can identify him is asked to tweet @MetCC or call 101 referencing CAD 6213/25JUL2021.

Abusive 999 Caller Banned From Insulting Operators

An obsessed 999 caller, who rang emergency services hundreds of times – abusing the operators – has been convicted.

Petras Narbutas, 31, of Horn Lane, Ealing, west London has been made subject to a five-year Criminal Behaviour Order, prohibiting him repeating his actions.

Today at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court he was convicted of making malicious communications and was conditionally discharged.

The court heard between June 1 and July 21 Petras called 999 a total of 497 times. 

Petras did not make any requests for any kind of support, but did insult both exchange operators and operators at the Metropolitan Police Control Centre. 

In a number of these calls Petras was racially abusive to the operators.

Due to the number of hate crime offences, Petras was one of the highest repeat hate crime offenders in the Metropolitan Police.

His actions have caused a number of staff to feel personally effected by the calls and the sheer number of calls to the 999 service caused a sever backlog in calls, potentially putting other members of the public at risk. 

The Criminal Behaviour Order – commonly known as a 'Crimbo' – will give the courts additional sentencing powers if breached by Narbutas.

PC Pete Trueman, West Areas hate Crime performance officer, said “The Metropolitan Police Service stands strongly against all forms of hate and will not tolerate its staff being abused or harassed, purely for doing their job.”

Vauxhall Predator Hunted

Two woman were attacked in Vauxhall within a six week period earlier this year and police suspect the same unknown male is responsible.

This image of the suspect has been released and the Metropolitan Police are requesting the public’s assistance in identifying him.

During the first incident a 24 year-old woman’s screams alerted other members of the public when she was followed from Vauxhall Station to Fentiman Road at 11.50pm on January 16.

A man grabbed her from behind, assaulted her and pulled her to the ground and fortunately members of the public chased him away.

Shortly afterwards, police believe the same suspect was seen exposing himself and committing an indecent act in Exchange Square.

He is described as a heavy set male, wearing a black puffer jacket, grey jogging bottoms and a black and white face mask.

The second incident was at 7.05am on Monday, March 1 when a 28 year-old woman was pushed to the ground by a man as she walked through Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens.

The suspect assaulted the victim before she managed to flee.

At the time he was wearing a black puffer jacket with white Versace lettering, black trousers and Nike Airmax trainers.

Anyone who can name the suspect are asked to call the police on 101 or tweet @MetCC quoting 7946/16JAN.

OAP Banned From Local Park After Sexual Assault

Grange Park

An octogenarian has been banned from his local park after admitting he sexually assaulted a woman.

Brian Roberts, 83, cannot go within fifty metres of Grange Park, Coulsdon for the next twelve months.

At Croydon Magistrates' Court he pleaded guilty to intentionally sexually touching a woman at the park on August 16, last year.

The court bailed him for a Probation Service interview and preparation of a pre-sentence report.

Pensioner Roberts, of Forge Avenue, Coulsdon was sentenced to a twelve-month community order, which carries the requirement that he cannot go within fifty metres of the park.

He was also ordered to pay £200 compensation to the victim, plus £85 costs and a £95 victim surcharge.

"Odious" Train Pervert Locked-Up For Five-Year Exposure Campaign

A man has been jailed for multiple counts of exposing himself in front of women on the railway network, following an extensive British Transport Police investigation.

Tajinder Sabherwal, 40, of High Street, Bedford, was found guilty of seven counts of outraging public decency, and one count of assault against an emergency service worker, between 2016 and 2021 at stations and on trains around London and Surrey.

He was sentenced to a total of 18 months in prison and handed a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) at Inner London Crown Court.

The court heard of multiple cases of women reporting Sabherwal touching himself inappropriately or exposing his genitals while sat opposite them on a train or at a station.

CCTV footage showed him changing into a different set of clothes halfway through his journeys to change his appearance after committing an offence.

On April 3 Sabherwal was arrested at St Pancras station after a woman travelling on a service from London Bridge to Cambridge reported that he sat opposite her on an empty carriage and began touching himself indecently while looking at her. 

After she challenged him, an off-duty officer stepped in and took him off the train. 

Upon his arrest, officers found he was carrying several items of clothing, including different outfits and hats that matched CCTV stills from previous incidents.

Nine weeks earlier on Saturday January 30, an off-duty WPC boarded a train from Redhill to London Bridge. 

As she sat down, Sabherwal moved from a different carriage to sit across the aisle from her. 

She noticed him touching the inside of his shorts and pointing his phone towards her. 

She challenged him and told him she had called 999. 

When the train arrived at Coulsdon South station he got off and the officer followed, he then violently pushed the officer away and ran out of the station.

Investigating officer in the case, Detective Constable Olivia Hill, said: “Sabherwal’s odious actions were evidently pre-meditated and for his own sexual gratification.

“These incidents will have had a serious impact on the victims’ lives, and we believe no one should be subject to such vile behaviour on the railway.

“I’m pleased to see he’ll have plenty of time to reflect on this in prison.

“I would urge anyone who witnesses or experiences sexual harassment on the railway to report it to us – no report is too small or insignificant and we will always take you seriously. 

Text us on 61016 or call 0800 40 50 40. In an emergency, always dial 999.”

Police And Westminster Fail To Ban Troublemaker Great-Great Grandson Of King George V

Police and Westminster council have tried to ban an aristocrat, who is 65th in line to the British throne, from the borough after years of violence, threats, criminal damage and racist behaviour.

However, today a judge ruled 43 year-old Rowan Nash Lascelles, the son of The Hon. James Lascelles, The Queen’s first cousin, once removed would simply ignore the order and take his offending to other neighbourhoods.

Refusing the Criminal Behaviour Order application - commonly known as a ‘Crimbo’ - Deputy District Judge Olwen Davies ruled: “An order will not deter him due to his entrenched criminality.”

Lascelles, whose great grandmother was the daughter of George VI, fled City of London Magistrates’ Court minutes before the hearing and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

“He is plainly a persistent offender, who leaves misery in his wake,” announced Judge Davies. “He is either unable or unwilling to change and ignores the criminal law.

“An order excluding him from Westminster would simply be ignored. If he does not obey the law he will not obey a Criminal Behaviour Order and simply offend in other London boroughs and transfer his misery to Camden or Wandsworth.

“I doubt Mr Lascelles gives consideration to his behaviour and it seems to be spontaneous, possibly associated with ADHD.

Earlier, Westminster’s rough-sleeping co-ordinator George Bossman, told the court he has tried to house Lascelles since August, 2016. “He has always ended up losing his accommodation due to his inappropriate behaviour and has now exhausted all of his options.

“Support has not worked and placement in hotels has not worked. It costs a lot of money to place him in a hotel, but there was constant anti-social behaviour and criminal damage.

“There have been frightening aggressive outbursts and racist behaviour and he has been engaging in the illicit use of substances and buying it in Westminster. 

“I have engaged with his father, who has now accommodated him in a hotel in Victoria.”

The court heard  Lascelles is addicted to powerful synthetic marijuana ’Spice’ and mixes with the users and dealers who congregate in Westminster, particularly around The Strand.

“If this behaviour continues in Westminster there could be a fatality,” added Mr Bossman. “He engages with rough sleepers, resulting in fights and he has caused a number of incidents at the drug and alcohol treatment centre in Wardour Street, Soho.

“We have tried everything in the book to contain his behaviour, with mental health and drug and alcohol teams attempting to help him.”

The only break Westminster gets from  Lascelles are his occasional trips to France. “His parents have a very, very big farm there and when he works there it calms him down.

“However, when he does not like something he gets extremely angry and abuses people and we need to put boundaries in his place to control his behaviour.”

Lascelles has multiple convictions for racially-aggravated criminal offences and was once banned from Sainsbury’s in The Strand for telling staff: “Go back to where you come from. I’m going to kick you out of the country. You’re not English.”

He recently lost his accommodation at the King George’s Hostel in Great Peter Street, Victoria - ironically named after his great-great grandfather King George V.

The ‘Crimbo’ application was supported by Westminster’s anti-social behaviour officer Anna Hows, who told the court: “There is a history of Mr  Lascelles returning to places he has once engaged with and causing harassment, alarm and distress to the people, residents and businesses.

“He says he is not happy with the support he has been offered regarding housing and removal from the borough would give him a fresh start.

“Westminster is the hub of rough sleeping and Spice use and it is in his best interests to be removed from the borough and for the respite of the community.”

The Metropolitan Police also threw their weight behind the application to ban Lascelles and PC Zak Ali told the court: “It is quite a lengthy history when it comes to his offending pattern.

“We are seeking an order on behalf of the businesses and residents of Westminster to offer respite from this individual, who has convictions for anti-social acts and criminal damage.”

The officer said on August 10 police were called to a fight outside Italian restaurant Prezzo in the West End. “One of the individuals was Mr  Lascelles and he threw a bar stool, causing significant injury and was arrested for grievous bodily harm.

“That is just one. There are others and he would commit a number of offences on the same day and be arrested numerous times in one week.

“He is a burden on the Metropolitan Police and many violent incidents are not reported to the police, particularly from outreach services and the council.

“He is a Spice addict and Westminster is the epicentre of Spice dealing. This order would prevent him legally from doing that.”

However, Judge Davies ruled the ‘Crimbo’ could not be used as an additional punishment and would not control Lascelles.

“My reservation is that it is not going to stop him coming back to Westminster. He is not going to be deterred.”

Lascelles was also due to be sentenced for an offence of criminal damage after pleading guilty to vandalising a door on April 27 at Look Ahead Housing & Care in Vauxhall Bridge Road, Victoria and this will be dealt with when he is arrested.

Train Passengers Attacked With Glass Bottles

Passengers onboard different trains are suspected to have been violently attacked by the same group within hours of each other.

British Transport Police (BTP) are investigating and have released these images of their suspects.

They are appealing to the public for assistance in identifying them.

The first violent incident occurred on Saturday, September 11 on a train travelling from Dartford, Kent to Charing Cross in central London.

At approximately 5.45pm the female victim and a separate group boarded the train in Slade Green, south London.

Individuals within that group began yelling at one another and causing a disturbance on the train.

The victim asked them to quieten down a little, but in response was threatened by one member of the group, who also deliberately barged into her.

The victim fled to another carriage, but was pursued by the group, who then started attacking her – kicking her in the head and hitting her with glass bottles.

She managed to get off the train at Erith station with other passengers, who provided first aid before she was treated at hospital.

The group stayed on the London-bound train.
