	    A 75-year-old man stabbed to death yards from his home may have 
been targeted in a racially motivated attack, according to police.Mohammed
 Saleem, who used a walking stick, was stabbed three times in the back 
as he returned home from prayers at his local mosque in Small Heath,  Birmingham , on Monday night.The blows were struck with such violence they penetrated to the front of his body.

The
 father of seven also had no defensive wounds in what has been described
 as a swift, vicious and cowardly attack by the man leading the murder 
investigation, Detective Superintendent Mark Payne of West Midlands 
police.Officers want to trace a white man, aged 25-32, of medium 
height and build, spotted on CCTV footage running near the scene of the 
attack around the time it happened, just before 10.30pm.Police 
also want to trace a seven-seat people carrier captured on CCTV, driving
 near the mosque with the two male occupants, both white and in their 
30s, who are considered &quot;significant witnesses&quot;.In an emotional 
family appeal on Thursday, two of Saleem's daughters, Shazia Khan, 45, 
and Nazia Maqsood, 44, called for the attackers to hand themselves in. 
They tearfully described their father as a &quot;widely respected member of 
the community&quot; and &quot;much-loved&quot;.Payne said the possibility it was
 a racially motivated attack was &quot;a significant line of inquiry&quot; and a 
large number of detectives were working on the case. &quot;To the attacker I 
say we will find you and we will bring you to justice,&quot; he added.Khan, who lives in London, said she believed it was &quot;a premeditated brutal attack, pre-planned, intended to kill&quot;.

She
 said: &quot;I cannot see him having any enemies being so full of hate to do 
this to him. He was an old man - that's what he was. He had no other 
agenda in his life, it's unacceptable and we just cannot believe an 
attack like this would happen to him. We just cannot understand it.&quot;We have to walk past where he was killed and we can visualise it - we have to live with that for the rest of our lives.&quot;

Describing
 her father, Khan said he had worked with youths at the mosque and &quot;was a
 really good role model and had a great sense of humour, very tongue in 
cheek&quot;. She said people from all walks of life had been paying their 
condolences.Khan also had a message for her father's killers: &quot;We
 don't know who carried out the attack - all we can say is you will be 
caught and you will be punished and justice will be done, legally.&quot;I
 hope they come forward. I hope that anyone who knows this man   or the driver in the car, there may be mobile phone 
videos made of the killing - we don't know. If there's any information 
people are sharing, every little bit of information is vital that will 
help catch the killer.&quot;It is unusual for someone of that 
description to be in that area. It may not be linked, we don't know, but
 every avenue has to be covered. We have to all pull together and get 
justice for my father and anybody else, because this could happen 
again.&quot;</description>

      <description>1043:
							
			
	
	We are being told that the PM's statement is now expected to take place at about 11:00 BST from outside 10 Downing St. 

 
	
		
		
							1042:
							
			
	
	Journalist Guido Olimpio writes in Italy's 
Corriere Della Sera newspaper that &quot;the attack on the British soldier, 
even though many elements are still missing, is an absolutely perfect 
textbook case of individual jihadism bent on achieving results as 
macabre as they are 'spectacular'... Unfortunately, we are going to have
 to get accustomed to episodes such as the murder in London. At this 
juncture it is part of a trend&quot;.  
	
		
		
							1036:
							Breaking News
			
	
	The Metropolitan Police execute a search 
warrant at an address in Lincolnshire. A Lincolnshire Police spokesman 
says: &quot;This is in connection with the ongoing investigation into the 
murder of a man in Woolwich. The Metropolitan Police are not prepared to
 discuss the matter further at this stage.&quot;  
	
		
		
							1035:
							
			
	
	Professor Paul Rogers, from Bradford 
University, is an expert in terrorism and says the attack seemed to be 
designed to cause widespread fear. He tells BBC News: &quot;The alleged 
perpetrators really wanted to publicise what they did. In a way, it's 
almost exactly what academics say when they talk about the term 
terrorism, it's actions which may have a victim or some victims but are 
designed to cause fear among a much wider community.&quot;

	 tweets: 
 Advice not to wear uniforms in public set to be reversed. PM believes 
was &quot;understandable reaction&quot; but people should go about daily lives 
	
		
		
							1032:
							
			
	
	A Conservative MP says he intends to 
discuss the speed of the police response in Woolwich with ministers. 
Robert Buckland tells the BBC: &quot;I will raise it with Home Office 
ministers as soon as we know the full picture.&quot; He was quoted in the 
Telegraph as saying it would be very worrying if there had been an 
&quot;unwarranted delay&quot; in the police response.  
	
		
		
							1031:
							
			
	
	A Cub Scout leader has spoken of how she 
confronted one of the alleged attackers who killed a member of the armed
 forces in Woolwich. In an interview, Ingrid Loyau-Kennett tells the 
Daily Telegraph the attacker said he had killed the soldier because &quot;he 
had killed Muslim people&quot; and that he was &quot;fed up that people kill 
Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Here is some audio of her describing what happened.   
	
		
		
							1030:
							
			
	
	The BBC's Jonathan Beale says armed forces 
personnel have been advised to conceal their uniforms if they are 
wearing them in public places, particularly on public transport. This 
advice has gone to regular members of the armed forces and the 
Territorial Army as well.

      Police conduct a fingertip search near to the scene of the crime. 

 
	
		
		
							1028:
							
			
	
	In his statement, Mr Murphy says: &quot;The 
government and security services have our full support in establishing 
the facts and preventing any future such crimes. As a country we should 
respond with a reassertion of the values of tolerance and justice; the 
values that these extremists hate so much about our country. We should 
all help to ensure our Armed Forces never feel fearful in public. They 
protect us, and today each of us can send a loud message of support, 
solidarity and gratitude to all service personnel serving in our towns 
and cities at home and overseas.&quot; 
	
		
		
							1027:
							
			
	
	Shadow defence secretary, Jim Murphy, says:
 &quot;This is firstly a personal tragedy for the family and friends of the 
victim. This horrendous and horrific act against our Armed Forces has 
shocked us all. In our moments of anger we should be strengthened in our
 national resolve to tackle hatred and terrorism wherever they exist.&quot;

	Statement after Cobra meeting: &quot;There was 
an operational update from the police and agencies into the ongoing

							1018:
							
			
	
	ITV News is reporting details of  an email 
 it says was sent to air cadets, saying: &quot;No uniforms are to be worn by 
any military personnel whilst walking out of unit/MoD locations in 
London and Greater London with effect now until further notice. This 
includes the carriage of military day sacks.&quot;

	A Kent MP describes the broadcast of 
footage of one of the alleged attackers in Woolwich as one of the worst 
examples of irresponsible journalism he has ever seen. Julian Brazier, a
 member of the Defence Select Committee, tells Julia George on BBC Radio
 Kent that the clip should never have been shown. 
	
		
		
			1006:
			
	
	Here is an audio  interview with eyewitness Graham Wilders, 
 who lives in Woolwich. He describes seeing the attack and how he 
initially thought there had been an accident with two men trying to 
resuscitate the victim. 
	
		
		
			1005:
			
	
	
  

  
      People have laid flowers and an Army T-shirt in tribute to the 
soldier who was killed. Reports say he had been wearing a T-shirt 
bearing the logo of the British military charity Help for Heroes. 
	
		
		
			1003:
			
	
	The statement concludes: &quot;Let the response 
of our nation be mature and thoughtful. This is a moment of prayer, 
unity and not of hasty reaction.&quot; 
	
		
		
			1002:
			
	
	The Greenwich Islamic Centre adds:  &quot;The 
local Muslim community has always enjoyed an excellent relationship with
 the people from all walks of life regardless of their religion, colour 
or ethnic background. At this moment of confusion, uncertainty and 
naturally highly charged emotions, we earnestly appeal to the media not 
to rush to judgement and wait for the final findings by the law 
enforcement agencies.&quot; 
	
		
		
			1000:
			
	
	The Greenwich Islamic Centre condemns 
Wednesday's &quot;barbaric murder&quot;: &quot;The Muslims of the Greenwich Islamic 
Centre in the Royal Borough of Greenwich... share the grief and sorrow 
of the nation. Our hearts go out to the family, colleagues and friends 
of the victim of this despicable and horrific tragedy.&quot; 
	
		
		
			0954:
			
	
	
  

  
      Tributes have been pouring in on social media for the soldier 
killed in Woolwich. Here a woman places flowers outside the Royal 
Military Barracks, near the scene where he was killed. 
	
		
		
			0953:
			
	
	Graham Wilders - who witnessed the killing -
 says officers arriving at the scene had to take into account the fact 
that at least one of the attackers had a gun. He says: &quot;The police 
officers didn't even get a chance to get out their car. They just, like,
 started running towards them, especially the bloke with the machetes. 
They just had to shoot him because he was just hurtling towards them, 
and then the other one with the handgun, lifted it up and obviously they
 shot him.&quot; 
	
		
		
			0952:
			
	
	Leaving the meeting of Cobra, London mayor 
Boris Johnson, appears to indicate Wednesday's attack was being seen as a
 one-off incident. &quot;Everything I am hearing leads me to think that 
Londoners can go about their business in the normal way and we are going
 to bring the killers to justice,&quot; he says. 
	
		
		
			0950:
			
	
	Julie Siddiqi, of the Islamic Society of 
Britain, tells BBC Radio 4: &quot;The people who did this act yesterday do 
not speak in my name, do not speak for my community or the rest of the 
country. We have to come out with the strongest condemnation, which is 
what I'm seeing this morning.&quot; 
	
		
		
			0947:
			
	
	The politicians will now want to leave the 
police and intelligence services to pursue the lines they need to, our 
correspondent Norman Smith adds.  
	
		
		
			0947:
			
	
	Our correspondent says this means security 
services are still thought to be piecing together information about the 
attack. So when the PM speaks in the next hour or so, it will a more 
general appeal for calm and a message of reassurance.  
	
		
		
			0946:
			
	
	We are hearing that the Cobra meeting in 
Whitehall has finished. It lasted about an hour and was not a &quot;nuts and 
bolts meeting&quot;, according to BBC chief political correspondent Norman 
Smith. 
	
		
		
			0943:
			
	
	Farouk Murad, spokesman for the Muslim 
Council of Britain, says the attack is &quot;an insult and attack against our
 faith and our community&quot;, adding: &quot;We must stand united against this 
kind of criminal activity... Islam does not under any pretext give the 
licence to kill innocents on our streets.&quot; 
	
		
		
			0942:
			
	
	Residents in Woolwich tell the BBC the 
killing should not diminish the community spirit that exists in the 
area. One resident, Keira, says:  &quot;I don't think it's anything to do 
with religion, or race or anything else.  I think it's all to do with 
the person and who did it.  And that's it really...  We've just got to 
all pull together really and just accept what's happened and move on 
from it.&quot; 
	
		
		
			0942:
			
	
	
  

  
      There are still large numbers of police officers at the scene 
of the killing, while soldiers are standing guard outside the Royal 
Military Barracks in Woolwich, south-east London. 
	
		
		
			0941:
			
	
	A Ministry of Defence source says the 
uniform advice is a &quot;common sense&quot;&quot; measure while the investigation into
 yesterday's attack is ongoing. He says it does not amount to a change 
in policy. Security at a number of military bases has already been 
stepped up and members of the services have been told to remain 
vigilant.  
	
		
		
			0939:
			Breaking News
			
	
	The BBC understands guidance has been 
issued to members of the armed forces to &quot;conceal&quot; their uniforms if in 
public, especially when travelling alone, in light of Wednesday's 
attack. 
	
		
		
			0932:
			
	
	The Press Association news agency, quoting 
sources, says the Woolwich suspects are of Nigerian background and are 
not thought to have links to terror groups based there. There has been 
no confirmation of this. 
	
		 
		
			
					Garath Dobbs, from Cardiff,
					
			
	
	emails: It strikes me that the attackers 
have gained exactly what they wanted from this - exposure. The media 
outlet could not wait to get this 'exclusive' on the air. There has to 
be a way to deny these attackers the oxygen of publicity. I think there 
should be a law against televising diatribes relating to such acts and a
 law against filming and sharing any such things on the internet. I 
understand the second part will be difficult but national television 
would be easy. It just seems very naive of ITV to show these people on 
primetime.

	 tweets :
 Been at the #woolwich school near ydays killing. Parents say they've 
struggled to shield their kids from what happened. Some still scared 
	
		
		
			0928:
			
	
	Boris Johnson continues:  &quot;I think it's 
very important that... the people of London should take their cue from 
the behaviour of the people of Woolwich yesterday, who showed such 
astonishing natural courage in dealing with an appalling event, and who 
stood up to those killers. And I think that that's the spirit of London,
 and that's what I would call on people to do today - go about their 
lives in the normal way.&quot;

      Mayor of London Boris Johnson is attending the Cobra meeting in
 Whitehall. On his way in he says: &quot;It is completely wrong to blame this
 killing on the religion of Islam. But it is also equally wrong to try 
to draw any link between this murder and British foreign policy, or the 
actions of British forces who are risking their lives abroad for the 
sake of freedom. The fault lies wholly and exclusively in the warped and
 deluded mindset of the people who did it. And what we need now is, for 
the sake of the victim, and for the sake of his family, is for those 
killers to be brought to justice.&quot;

	Keith Vaz, chairman of the Home Affairs 
Select Committee, tells BBC News the government must find out &quot;who 
committed this barbaric crime and follow it up swiftly&quot;. He adds: 
&quot;People need to stay calm - I think some of the stories that we've heard
 this morning of demonstrations in certain areas... this is not helpful 
to the police, the police should not be distracted from the very 
important work that they have to do.&quot;

	Former chairwoman of the British Joint 
Intelligence Committee, Baroness Neville-Jones, tells the BBC that the 
inspiration for the Woolwich attack &quot;comes from internet hate speech and

tackling the spread of this kind of rhetoric.&quot;

	Lord Reid tells BBC Radio Scotland's Good 
Morning Scotland that the killing in Woolwich was a &quot;horrific and 
terrible attack&quot;, and adds: &quot;The bad news is that becomes harder to 
prevent.&quot; He says it was &quot;a testament to the effectiveness of our 
security forces in this country that they have prevented it for many, 
many years&quot;.

	Col Kemp also tells BBC News he believes 
this morning's Cobra meeting will try to ascertain whether the attack 
was part of a wider extremist conspiracy. He says: &quot;I don't think it 
looks like that myself but I think they will want to know that. And the 
second thing, I think, in that area is there will be a great deal of 
concern that this form of attack now, which I think has been long feared
 by the security services, could lead to copycats.&quot;

	A former commander of British soldiers in

	Former Home Secretary Lord Reid condemns 
the &quot;brutal, inhumane and terrible murder of an innocent person&quot;. While 
he said the threat from terrorists was continual, he insisted they would
 not succeed in their bid to &quot;impose their will on others&quot; in the UK. 
	
		
		
			0852:
			
	
	A Facebook page set up in honour of the victim of yesterday's attack has received one million &quot;likes&quot;,  according to the Metro newspaper .
 It features a statement saying: &quot;A British soldier has been murdered as
 he walked a street in London in a 'suspected' terror attack. RIP to a 
hero!&quot; 
	
		
		
			0851:
			
	
	Raffaelle Pantucci, a senior research 
fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, tells the BBC: &quot;The 
brazenness of this incident is what marks it out from previous ones. The
 willingness of these guys to conduct this attack in the middle of the 
street and then sort of talk about it, shout about it in front of people
 in the street afterwards, is I think a new level of brutality.&quot;

      Lincoln Jopp, a former commander of British troops in 
Afghanistan, tells the BBC this was a tragic act, but adds the British 
army will rally round at times like this - as they always do. He says he
 realises people will be looking at procedures, but says he would like 
military personnel to continue wearing their uniforms outside barracks. 
He says the British public's support gives the military great strength. 
	
		
		
			0816:
			
	
	Our correspondent adds the Cobra meeting 
will decide how to respond to the killing - looking at whether it was a 
lone attack or a wider orchestrated campaign. So far, he says, the UK's 
terror alert level has not been raised and the security response has 
been limited to military barracks, which would lead one to speculate it 
is believed to have been an isolated act.  
	
		
		
			0815:
			
	
	Political correspondent Norman Smith says 
the Cobra emergency meeting - for which the PM has returned from France -
 will get under way in about 20 minutes. Before that the home secretary 
will brief David Cameron on the latest thinking of the intelligence 
service, because overnight they have gone through a mass of material - 
witness statements, footage, and of course their own records, he says - 
to see if the attackers were in any way known to the security services.

told the BBC News Channel he walked out of the school gates and saw a

landed in the playground and the children were sent home.

	Usama Hasan is a senior researcher at the 
Quilliam Foundation, a think tank specialising in counter extremism. He 
tells the BBC that the hatred preached by some Islamic clerics has to 
stop: &quot;The real problem here is the decisive hatred preached by a very 
small minority of clerics in this country in a small number of our 
mosques and universities. They know who they are and there are Muslim 
groups and other groups - left wing groups may I say - who defend that 
kind of grievance and victimhood mentality. That's what must change and 
has to stop. A very small number of people but unfortunately their 
influence is too high.&quot;

	ITV News has broadcast footage of a man 
with bloodied hands talking to a camera, following the attack. He makes a
 series of political statements before walking towards a man, who is 
believed to be a soldier, lying on the street.  Warning: This footage contains disturbing images.

	A dark day for us all.  Whatever their 
reasons, this was wrong. This can only lead to opposing hate groups 
(re)surfacing and promoting further further hate amongst understandably 
frightened people. 
	
		
		
			0745:
			
	
	Wednesday's events in Woolwich have shocked
 the UK - but this was precisely the kind of attack that security chiefs
 have long feared could come, writes the  BBC's home affairs correspondent Dominic Casciani in his blog this morning.  
	
		
		
			0743:
			
	
	A passer-by, Ingrid Loyau-Kennett, 
confronted one of the attackers in the street. She says he told her that
 he had killed because he was &quot;fed up&quot;  about the deaths of Muslims in 
Iraq and Afghanistan. Speaking on ITV Daybreak she describes the scene, 
saying: &quot;More and more people were starting to come. I mean there was 
absolutely nobody when I arrived apart form the bus and people stayed on
 the bus and there was just this lady cradling the soldier and gradually
 people started to come. I imagine the soldier was losing more and more 
blood and attracting people and there was so many people around.&quot; 
	
		
		
			0741:
			
	
	The Muslim Council of Britain says the 
killers' use of &quot;Islamic slogans&quot; indicates they were motivated by their
 faith. A statement from the council says: &quot;This is a truly barbaric act
 that has no basis in Islam and we condemn this unreservedly. Our 
thoughts are with the victim and his family.&quot; 
	
		
		
			0740:
			
	
	The BBC's Jonathan Beale says security at 
London military barracks has been stepped up, but the overall threat of 
terrorism warning has not been raised to severe - it is at substantial 
at the moment. Severe would mean a terror attack is likely. One of the 
issues the Cobra meeting will look at is whether soldiers should wear 
their uniform outside their barracks, he says. They will also discuss if
 this is a one-off attack or part of a wider move. 
	
		
		
			0736:
			
	
	
  

  
      There are reports that it was 20 minutes before armed police 
arrived at the scene of the attack yesterday. But local MP for Greenwich
 and Woolwich Nick Raynsford tells the BBC he thinks police arrived 
pretty quickly and very quickly dealt with the two suspects. &quot;We know 
very well that quick response is important, but it's difficult to think 
in an urban area that it would be possible to get to a scene of a crime 
much quicker than that given all the communication there has to be - 
given that there had to be an armed unit to respond, and given the 
evidence there were two very dangerous suspects who themselves were 
armed.&quot;  
	
		
		
			0733:
			
	
	There are many questions today about who 
the victim of this brutal attack was. He is said to have been a member 
of the British armed forces, but people will want to know who he was, 
which unit was he with, and if he was linked to the Woolwich barracks. 
For the Cobra emergency committee, perhaps the overriding question will 
be whether the two attackers were acting unilaterally or were part of a 
more orchestrated plot. The committee will also be discussing the motive
 for the attack, says the BBC's Ben Ando.  
	
		
		
			0732:
			
	
	Already security has been stepped up at 
military barracks across London.  Police now are waiting to question the
 two attackers, who are in separate hospitals after being shot by armed 
police. The BBC's Ben Ando says we do not know which hospitals are 
looking after the men or what condition the men are in - although one is
 thought to be in a critical condition.  
	
		
		
			0730:
			
	
	
  

  
      Since the attack there were confrontations in Woolwich between 
police and a group of around 60 people - some from the English Defence 
League - but there were no arrests. Here members of the EDL wear 
balaclavas as they gather outside a pub in Woolwich in London last 
night. There have also been attacks on mosques in Kent and Essex.  
	
		
		
			0726:
			
	
	Initially, witnesses thought the two men 
were trying to help the man, but then they realised they were killing 
him. Lots of amateur footage was recorded at the scene yesterday and 
police have urged people to send them any video or images they have of 
the scene. 
	
		
		
			0726:
			
	
	Meanwhile, a tow-truck has removed a 
vehicle - covered with a red canvas cover - which is thought to have 
been involved. It is thought the victim was struck by a car before being
 attacked by the two men, says our correspondent Ben Ando.  
	
		
		
			0725:
			
	
	The BBC's Ben Ando, who has been in 
Woolwich overnight, says it has been a scene of considerable and 
measured activity. The scene of the killing was on the south circular 
road - one of London's busiest routes, and forensic teams have worked 
through the night to complete their work so the road can re-open.  
	
		
		
			0723:
			
	
	The two men - who were shot by police - are
 being held in hospital under armed guard while counter terrorism police
 wait to question them.  
	
		
		
			0722:
			
	
	
  

  
      Witnesses yesterday described seeing two men armed with knives 
and a gun repeatedly assault the victim. One of the men called for 
Britain to end its involvement in foreign conflicts. The image shown 
here is from footage taken at the scene.  
	
		
		
			0721:
			
	
	The emergency meeting this morning will be 
attended by politicians, the UK's most senior police officer and the new
 head of MI5.  
	
		
		
			0721:
			
	
	Home Secretary Theresa May has said that 
while we have seen terrorism on the streets of London before, &quot;we have 
always stood firm against it - despicable acts like these will not go 
unpunished&quot;, she has promised. 
	
		
		
			0720:
			
	
	The home secretary says security has been 
tightened at all London barracks, and the government's emergency 
response committee Cobra will meet this morning to discuss the attack. 
David Cameron has cut short his trip to Paris to chair the meeting.  
	
		
		
			0719:
			
	
	Two suspects were shot by armed police 
after spending several minutes speaking to bystanders and making 
political statements to camera.

Two friends battered a sheep to 
death with a hammer and cut off its legs in a field so they could have a
 free roast dinner, a court heard.Matthew Davidson, 28, and Kevin Sherratt, 33, stole the mutilated remains and paraded the animal's head around.

But
 their drunken prank on a farm in Macclesfield, Cheshire, backfired when
 they sent photos of what they had done to a friend who alerted police.
  


Mutilation: Matthew Davidson, 28, can be seen 
attacking the lamb which had two of its legs removed and its head torn 
off in Macclesfield, Cheshire
The pair sent the friend five pictures of themselves slaughtering and mutilating the sheep with a blade.

In a reference to their Sunday lunch, Sherratt said in a sick jokey text message: 'Lamb sorted. Only Yorkshires needed now'.

He also said the whole incident was 'well funny' and they had been thinking about what they were going to eat the next day.

his fruit and veg stall is spared jail because interest rates were 100 
times LOWER than payday lenders   Husband jailed for LOOTING his own wedding venue... and his heavily pregnant bride is standing by him   

Davidson and Sherratt, both 
unemployed and from Macclesfield, admitted criminal damage and theft of 
the sheep before magistrates in the town.Simon
 Pover, prosecuting, said: 'On April 26, the farmer discovered one of 
the hoggits (year-old lambs) had been killed and its body mutilated. Its
 remains were found on a footpath. Both hind legs and the head had been 
removed.
  


Sick prank: Davidson, 28, shows off the head which was torn off the dead sheep


 


Boasts: Kevin Sherratt, 33, jokes to his friend 
'that's Sunday dinner lamb sorted' after sending a friend a picture of 
what they had done
'On April 25 at 8pm, a friend known to
 both defendants received a text message from Davidson asking &quot;you up 
for killing a cow, pal?&quot;.'At
 11pm that same night he received a text message from Sherratt saying 
&quot;seriously mate how much fun we had, oh my days&quot;. He then received five 
pictures of the men slaughtering and mutilating the sheep with a knife 
or blade.'In another 
picture Davidson was stood in Sherratt's home holding up the lamb's 
head. Another text said: &quot;Lamb sorted. Only Yorkshires needed now&quot;.'Mr Pover said other messages bragged about the brutal killing.

One
 text from Davidson said: 'I hope we didn't scare you with all this. We 
were a bit (drunk) and thought about Sunday dinner. It was funny when 
the hammer went through that skull. Think I might have found my new 
career as a butcher not a builder'.'Another
 from Sherratt said: 'It was well funny. I held it down and said do not 
hit my hand with that hammer. What does he do, but on the killer blow 
hit my hand with the hammer. It hurt my knuckle. He is a lunatic.'The police found bags containing the animal's body parts and bloodied tools in a shed at Sherratt's home.

Mr
 Pover told the court: 'Sherratt told police they were drunk at home and
 decided they wanted a roast dinner. He said he had hunted smaller 
animals.
  


Sick pranksters: Davidson, 28, (left) and 
Sherratt, 33, pleaded guilty to criminal damage and theft of the sheep 
when they appeared before magistrates
'They decided to kill a sheep 
and got a claw hammer and serrated knife. They went to a field during 
the night, caught a sheep by running alongside it, pushing it and 
pinning it to the floor.'He said the first blow killed it but they took an extra two or three strokes to make sure. They both skinned the animal.

'Davidson
 told police he had spent three days at Sherratt's house and been drunk 
throughout. He couldn't remember much but recalled being in a field with
 a sheep.'Trevor Feehily, defending, said the incident had been triggered by alcohol.

He said: 'It doesn't excuse what either of them have done. Both said it was drunken and complete stupidity.'


Police wanted to charge Davidson and Sherratt with animal cruelty, but they could not prove the sheep had suffered.

They will be sentenced on June 7.</description>

      <description>A thief with a knife attempts to rob a jewellery store in the Dali Ibrahim area of Algiers. The shop owner resisted, leading to a brutal fight. Reportedly, the 23-year old thief was arrested a few hours later. 

 Note: The robbery attempt begins at around the 3:30 mark with the thief attempting to stab the owner, and the fight lasts until 4:40.  While the timestamp on the camera says 01-24-13, the date is likely wrong since the video first emerged on May 7th.

Funny video for a f*** Monday ;)
Inspired by tv series &quot;La Femme Nikita&quot; from 1997-2001, rough character and strenght of this kitten (she was abandoned by her cat mother. My friend found her barely alive near dead kittens).
I used music from the first episode of &quot;La Femme Nikita&quot; called &quot;Keniger&quot; (Thrive - &quot;Revenge&quot;).</description>

      <description>Rather than run into the back of the car in front of him, he pulls into the other lane and causes a horrendous head-on collision.</description>
