Just Stop Oil activists found guilty over Silverstone track protest

Published

Marshals hauled five of the six found guilty defendants off the Wellington Straight at the British Grand Prix last year.

At the British Grand Prix last year, six Just Stop Oil climate change demonstrators were found guilty of posing a threat of “serious harm” to race marshals and Formula One drivers.

After watching video of five of the men and two women being hauled off the Silverstone course while two Formula One cars were passing by, jurors at Northampton Crown Court found the four men and two women guilty of producing a public disturbance.

The “meticulous” demonstration, according to Alasdair Gibson, Louis McKechnie, 22, Bethany Mogie, 40, David Baldwin, 47, Emily Brocklebank, 24, and 29-year-old Joshua Smith, did not pose a substantial risk of injury.

During their trial, all six of the defendants testified that the protest began after a warning sign was raised.

After eight hours and forty-seven minutes of deliberation over the course of three days, the jury found the activists guilty. The prosecution contended that the activists’ act of sitting “in the face” of rapidly approaching cars created an immediate and substantial risk of damage.

During the protest, Yeadon, Leeds’s Brocklebank, Aberdeen’s Gibson, St Albans’ Mogie, Manchester’s McKechnie and Lees, Oldham’s Smith, went on to the racecourse.

Baldwin, of Stonesfield, Oxfordshire, was allegedly “in it together” with his co-defendants when he was discovered in a car park with glue, cable ties, and a Just Stop Oil banner.

“As events unfolded, the F1 Grand Prix had started and it was under a red flag after a serious accident had occurred at the very start,” prosecutor Simon Jones told the court at the beginning of the trial.

“Each of these defendants were present at Silverstone and they were intent on causing a disruption to the race.

“It is not in dispute that five of the defendants in this case – all of them save for David Baldwin – made it on to the racetrack and they did not have permission to be there.

“There is no dispute as to that, and they sat down in front of the ongoing cars – Formula One motor racing cars.

Dangerous driving arrests after man killed in crash

Published

A man in his twenties was killed in a car accident, leading to the arrest of two individuals on suspicion of causing death by hazardous driving.
Around 23:40 BST on Sunday, a car on Oldham’s Greenacres Road struck two stationary cars and overturned, according to Greater Manchester Police.
The individual was declared dead at the scene despite the presence of emergency services.
The two males that were detained are still being questioned.

Officers were “tirelessly” attempting to get answers for the family of the deceased young guy, according to Det Con Alex Giblin.
He’s pleaded with anyone who witnessed the crash to come forward.
He continued, “This might be a dashcam, CCTV, doorbell, or eyewitness account from the scene.”

A police department that shot an XL Bully dog after it mauled a woman has been referred to as a watchdog.
The dog was reportedly “dangerously out of control” and had attacked people on Gladstone Road in Eccles, Salford, on Friday, according to Greater Manchester Police (GMP).
Residents said the police response was “very excessive” and claimed to have heard multiple bullets fired at the dog.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct was tasked with looking into the event, according to GMP, because it was “important we are accountable for our actions”.

“We fully understand the strong concerns which have been raised by members of the local community and beyond,” a force spokesman stated.
According to GMP, after police and the public failed to “regain control” of the dog, armed officers “destroyed it at the scene”.
According to the force, two individuals were taken into custody after “confronting officers,” while the woman sustained injuries in the attack.
Residents of the area expressed their shock at what had occurred.
One man whose car was shot at described himself to the BBC as “very shocked” and thought the police response had been “very excessive”.

“You don’t expect to see a police officer running down your street shooting at a dog,” stated the officer.
“Any one of those shots could have ricocheted into a house.”
Earlier in the year, XL bullies were subject to stringent ownership regulations that mandated the breed be kept on a leash and muzzled in public.

Woman’s body parts found at a park in Odiham

Following reports of a lady being murdered, dissected with power tools, and dumped in a park, police are looking for her mutilated torso.

Last Tuesday, Sarah Mayhew’s, 38, remains were discovered in Rowdown Fields in New Addington, south London.

A dog walker saw that his dog had unearthed a human bone, so he called the police.

Subsequently, a head, legs, and arms were discovered close by, and Ms. Mayhew’s DNA was used to confirm their identity.

The Old Bailey heard that the victim’s torso is still being sought after by the police.

Following their arrest on Saturday, Gemma Watts, 48, and Steven Sansom, 44, were accused of killing her and obstructing her rightful burial.

The duo is accused of killing Ms. Mayhew at a home before using power tools to dismember her body.

The victim’s cause of death is yet unknown.

Upon examining her body, it was discovered that she had shaved her head, suffered bruises to her skull, and had two little broken vertebrae in her voicebox.

On March 8th, in the evening, Ms. Mayhew was last observed in Sutton, a suburb of southwest London.

Sansom and Watts made separate appearances before Judge Philip Katz KC at the Old Bailey on Thursday.

Sansom from Belmarsh jail and Watts from Featherbed Lane in New Addington made their video link appearances via video link, respectively, from Bronzefield prison.

Both defendants merely said their names to verify one other, and Watts seemed to have a heavy bruise over her eye.

She and Sansom are accused of killing Ms. Mayhew at the residential property on March 8 and then getting rid of the body, according to testimony given to the court.

“This is quite a significant ongoing investigation in relation to the whereabouts of the deceased’s entire body,” said prosecutor Tom Little KC.

“There is no doubt that power tools were used to cut the deceased’s body into pieces.”

Judge Katz scheduled a provisional trial beginning on February 17 of the following year, and a plea hearing on June 27.

The defendants were remanded into custody by the Old Bailey judge.

Sansom, of Burnell Road, Sutton, in southwest London, is additionally accused of fabricating three different counts of pornographic pictures of children.
