Gang member jailed for pitchfork attack

A 22yr old man in Scotland has been jailed for stabbing a 13yr old with a pitchfork.

Edmond Eccles was a gang member with a record of violent assaults and anti-social behaviour. He attacked a group of teenagers while drunk one night visiting his hometown of Alva (he had previously been banned from visiting much of Central Scotland for terrorising shopkeepers and residents).

At the time of his arrest, Eccles bit one police officer on the leg, threatening: "I'll get a bomb and blow you up. I'll kill your family. I'll murder your children. I'll be chopping your heads off, shooting your family and setting you on fire, great balls of fire, I'm a psycho."

Eccles admitted charges of assault and possession of a knife.

Multiple stabbings at 16th birthday party

A 16th birthday party in Nottingham became a crime scene this Saturday night as a fight broke out.

Police confronted a group of around 30 teens, using CS gas to control the situation, as one 19yr old was stabbed in the neck and his friend was stabbed at least 5 times. The mother of the 19yr old told the press that her son told her he thought he was going to die as he waited for the ambulance to arrive.

Teens beat a man to death

3 young men are in court this week on murder charges, following the viscious beating of a man in Cambridgeshire in Sept last year.

The man had asked the three lads, who were teenagers at the time, for a light. They set upon him after he "didn't say goodbye"; kicking him in the stomach and head, stealing his mobile and leaving him to die.
