Another arrest has been made by detectives looking into the deadly stabbing of an adolescent student.

After an attack on Nunnery Lane in Luton on September 29, last year, Ashraf Habimana, 16, succumbed to stab wounds. Sixteen teenagers have already been charged with murder in connection with the death of the Luton Sixth Form College student. A 19-year-old man from the town has been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm and possession of a knife.

On Wednesday, the most recent suspect that the police had detained was freed on bond while more investigation was conducted.
“Shocking, unacceptable violence led to the death of a young man from our community with his whole life ahead of him,” said Detective Graham Newton.
“We are determined to bring anyone involved to justice and send a strong, unequivocal message that violent attitudes and behaviour of this nature will not be tolerated.”

Ashraf’s mother described him as “loving, caring, calm, and extraordinary” in a message posted on a fundraiser page set up following his passing.

The Zeitenwende, or “watershed moment,” was declared by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in February 2022 in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It gained international attention and evolved into a call for an international order based on laws. Concurrently, the conflict placed the European Union in a precarious situation. The European Union has been facing challenges in reining in anti-democratic trends in a few of its member nations over the past ten or so years. Although not entirely, a wide range of countermeasures have been implemented. Therefore, the continued erosion of the rule of law in Poland and Hungary poses a threat to the unity and integrity of the EU as a whole. Is there a chance that the Zeitenwende will spur reform in Europe’s legal system protection efforts?

A crisis of the rule of law
We have seen in recent years how certain member states purposefully subvert national legal systems and call into question the EU’s legal framework. With Fidesz’s electoral win in Hungary in 2010 and the election of the Law and Justice Party (PiS) to power in Poland in 2015, there has been a systematic democratic backsliding. As a result, the EU has decided on a number of measures to protect the rule of law throughout the continent.

However, “rule breakers'” reluctance is hard to overcome. First, Article 7, which was dubbed the “nuclear option” because it could, in the worst instance, deprive a member state of its ability to vote, turned out to be ineffective. Provoked against Poland and Hungary, the process is yet unresolved. Subsequently, the European Commission’s infringement actions before the European Court of Justice were unable to address the underlying issues with Poland’s judicial independence. However, the strategy of using financial leverage to force noncompliant governments to alter their behaviour appears to be a viable one. The EU still has funding from Poland’s Covid-19 recovery fund and Hungary’s cohesion fund.

Destructive developments in Hungary and Poland over the past ten years have shown how the EU is unable to adequately defend its constitutional identity. There must be harsh enough penalties for breaking the rule of law in the EU to deter governments from weakening the democratic system.

Victoria Greenwood, 41, was found dead in a Hertfordshire parking lot last year. Robert Brown, 38, was found guilty of her murder today, Friday.

A guy has been found guilty of murder after killing a woman and trying to hide his identity by setting her body on fire.

Victoria Greenwood, 41, was found dead in a Hertfordshire parking lot last year. Robert Brown, 38, was found guilty of her murder today, Friday.

The court heard testimony throughout the trial about how Brown had set up a meeting with Victoria, a sex worker, early on Friday, November 10.

CCTV showed the two coming to his flat together and going inside, but a later clip showed the victim on the ground outside, seemingly attempting to flee, and Brown dragging her back inside.

Detectives from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit discovered during their investigation that Brown had visited several stores over the course of the previous weekend, buying a number of suspicious items, such as a saw, a jerry can, a foldable sack barrow, and an abundance of cleaning supplies.

CCTV captured him on Sunday, November 12, utilising the sack barrow to move a sizable furniture unit that was covered in duct tape and held Victoria’s body from his apartment to his vehicle. Later that night, he was again observed filling a container with petrol at a nearby petrol station.

Two days later, there were reports of a body on fire, prompting emergency services to be rushed to a car park in Wallington.

Following a trial, Brown of Hitchin Road, Luton, was found guilty of murder.

Before the trial started, he had already entered a guilty plea to hindering a coroner in the performance of their duty.

On Friday, June 7, he is scheduled to be sentenced.

“The violence and terror that Brown inflicted on a vulnerable woman, and the lengths he went to in order to cover up his crime, reveal a deeply disturbing and calculated nature,” stated Detective Inspector Justine Jenkins, who oversaw the investigation.

“His actions caused Victoria’s loved ones much pain in addition to the awful loss of life.

Unfortunately, the nature of sex work can put employees at danger for assault, and those who commit crimes frequently take advantage of the fact that they are in a quiet or remote location.

“We are still dedicated to capturing dangerous people and provide thorough
