#Transgender women and gay man targeted in Whitechapel arson attack hate crime, Met Police say

A devastating fire that tore through a flat in London’s East End is being treated by Scotland Yard as a transphobic hate crime.

The inhabitants are said to have just escaped the suspected arson attack which ripped through an apartment on the fifth floor of a six-storey block in #Whitechapel last Friday.

Chief inspector Dave Hodges said: “This is a live hate crime investigation with active lines of inquiry.

A Gofundme page set up to raise money for the flat’s three residents, two #trans women and a #gay man, described the fire as “one of the most terrifying situations any of them have had to face”.

It claims that the building’s fire alarms did not sound, and says “the outcome would have been fatal” had one of the residents not been awake and heard an explosion from her window, at the other end of the flat.

Around 25 firefighters in four engines were scrambled to the blaze in Whitechapel High Street at roughly 6.15am on April 14, after 14 separate people called 999 to report it.

They spent nearly an hour tackling the flames, which were under control by 7.10am.

Jack Gilbert, local resident and member of the NSY #LGBTQI+ Independent Advisory Group, said: “I am pleased the local police are investigating this as a hate crime. This means they know it will impact trust and confidence, and as a result have instituted the Gold Group process.

Anyone with information about what happened is asked to call 101 or tweet @MetCC quoting reference CAD 1185/14Apr. To remain anonymous contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Muhamadu Conte, 20, and Isaiah Lester, 18, were sentenced at Ipswich Crown Court on Thursday, April 20 after pleading guilty to three counts of robbery and two counts of attempted robbery.

Conte of Lancaster Drive, Havering, was given two years and 11 months, while Lester of Cranberry Close, Ealing, was handed two years and seven months.

Lester also got 18 months for unrelated drugs offences including intent to supply class A drugs - to be served consecutively - making a total sentence of four years and one month.

The robberies were all committed on August 30 2022 when the balaclava clad twosome approached a pair of teenagers in a park off Raglan Street in Lowestoft at around 9pm.

They threatened them, searched their pockets, and demanded their phones. The victims offered what they had but the suspects weren't satisfied and threatened them with injury if they didn't give them a better phone.

Officers were called around 3.45am on July 27 after a man had been stabbed.

#Liverpool #paedophile who assaulted young girls jailed.
Lewis Jones, 24, was arrested by #Merseyside Police after grooming and sexually abusing a girl, 12, he met through #Snapchat in 2020.

He was still under investigation two years later when he attacked the girl in the park.

He was jailed for life with a minimum of 12 years at Manchester Crown Court.

Jones, formerly of Brocklebank Lane, Allerton, Liverpool, pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to four counts of sexual activity with a child and assault by penetration relating to a girl aged 12 and 13, and making indecent images of children, between January and June 2020.

He also admitted two counts of assault by penetration in August.

Jones first sat on a bench, furtively taking photos on his phone of female #children playing in a park in Droylsden, Greater Manchester, last year.

He then approached, offering to help make a den, then grabbed the girl, covering her mouth with his hand and ran off.

A girl, 11, realised what happened and told the other children to run for help and shouted out for the police to be called, prompting a search to begin immediately.

The girl was being assaulted in woodland when Jones was disturbed by people calling her name as they looked for her.

Twenty-five minutes later, bruised, bloodied and injured from the attack, the girl wandered to a house screaming "Help me, I've been kidnapped".

After the attack, Jones fled along a canal towpath, but handed himself in the next day after police issued a #CCTV image of the suspect.

Before the attack, Jones had already been under investigation after he claimed to be a school pupil aged 14 who groomed a 12-year-old girl.

Jones was arrested on 15 June 2020 and police found 102 child abuse images on his phone involving #girls aged as young as nine.

The glamour model ex-girlfriend of boxer Joe Calzaghe is facing jail after being convicted of money laundering in a £100 million operation to smuggle cash to Dubai.

Jo-Emma Larvin, 44, took suitcases containing around £5m in cash through Heathrow Airport and on to flights to the United Arab Emirates in Autumn 2020.

Larvin, her partner Jonathan Johnson, 55, Amy Harrison, 27, and Beatrice Auty, 26, were all part of an operation to smuggle dirty money out of UK, knowing or suspecting it was the proceeds of criminal conduct as they agreed to act as “money mules”.

Larvin, who dated Welsh boxer Calzaghe for six years before they split in 2009, insisted during her trial that she believed the trips had been authorized by UAE embassy officials, and that the cases contained money and official documents.

But she was convicted by the jury of removing criminal property from the UK.

Judge Sarah Paneth released the guilty defendants on bail until their sentencing hearing.

She is in rehabilitation to try to get back as much movement as possible.

The court heard she only survived by pretending to be dead after the attack and did not scream until Tye had driven away from the scene.

She lay unable to move until she was found by a dog walker around four hours later and emergency services were called.

Tye had taken her phone away when he left the park.

The court heard that Tye had messaged his ex-girlfriend saying “I would kill to get you back” after the pair split up.

He messaged the victim and arranged to meet her at night in a park near her home.

The court heard that the victim had jokingly asked Tye “you are not going to stab and kill me?” when she received the unexpected invitation to meet him.

The pair chatted on a bench for more than an hour and kissed before Tye attacked her as they were leaving the park.

He had researched which parts of the body are the worst to be stabbed and how long it takes someone to die of a stab wound, several weeks before the incident, the court heard.

The teenager pleaded guilty at Ipswich Crown Court in January. He also admitted possession of a bladed article.
