SMILING RAPIST SENTENCED TO 24 YEARS IN PRISON

This smirking sex offender has been convicted for 24 years in jail for raping one 17-year-old woman and tried to attack another at knife point.

He was described as a 'dangerous, calculating and predatory rapist' who created the image he was the 'pillar of the community' by helping out at the church.

The court heard of how Oluwadamilare Bayewu, from Fairlawn in Greenwich, first grabbed a 17-year-old at knife point on December 2, but she managed to break free and escape.

A week later, just in the same area of Binsey Walk, Thamesmead, he grabbed a victim, also 17, as she got off the bus at 7 pm.

He put a knife to her throat and threatened to kill her before marching her into a bin storage area under a walkway. He then raped her in a secluded area.

He was tracked down after his DNA linking him to the attacks was recovered.

He was arrested on December 16, and was placed on an identity parade where he was picked out by the victim whom he had attempted to rape.

He was today sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court to 24 years in prison.

He will serve a minimum of 16 years in prison and will them be on license for eight years.

80-year-old man charged for driving a car covered in snow

An 80-year-old man was charged after driving a car that was almost completely covered in snow with only a portion of the driver's side windshield cleared for vision, police said.

Ontario Provincial Police said Wednesday the man received a $110 ticket after an officer spotted a car resembling a pile of snow on the road in Brussels, Ontario on Tuesday.

The OPP posted a picture of the car to twitter and wrote 'Can't make this stuff up.'

'Driver charged today in Brussels actually driving like this.'

The man, whose name was not released, was charged with having a obstructed view.

Police spokesman James Stanley said the man said he was too old and weak to brush it off. The officer cleared the snow from the man's car and let him on his way.

'He was going for a short drive in town. I understand his excuse was he was too old, too weak to brush off the snow.' Stanley said.

Journalist Filming documentary robbed by migrant in Calais

The shocking moment migrants armed with a big big knife and pepper spray attacked journalists in Calais' notorious Jungle on Saturday.

Dutch filmmaker Maaike Engels was filming with her colleague Teun Voeten when he as attacked and pushed into a tent by the three young men as they attempted to steal his camera.

Ms. Engels continued to film even as she tried to fight the youngsters off, kicking one when he approached her with a knife before the three attackers were chased off by other refugees who threw stones at them.

Following the incident Ms Engels, who was in France filming a new documentary called Calais: Welcome to the Jungle wrote on her Facebook: 'Within every community, among the good ones, you'll always find a couple of a**holes.

'The jungle is no exception. But I guess living under such conditions the less creative, intelligent and ambitious are very likely to become small criminals, because they've got nothing higher to aim at.'

CONVICTED MURDERER, OSCAR PISTORIUS'S PICTURE USED BY ORGANISERS OF RIO DE JANEIRO PARALYMPICS FOR ADVERTISEMENT CAMPAIGN

Organisers of this years's Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro used murdering South African runner Oscar Pistorius to advertise this summer's game in a highly embarrassing gaffe.

The official Rio2016 Twitter account posted a video of Pistorius winning the 400 Metre final at the 2012 games in London.

However since then, Pistorius shot dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp and had his manslaughter conviction overturned and upgraded to murder.

The international Paralympic committee ruled in 2014 that Pistorius would be banned from the Rio games because of the original manslaughter conviction.

However, nobody from the Rio2016 organisation was available to confirm how the shamed athlete had made it into their high profile advertising campaign.

MISSING UKRAINIAN BOY, 10, BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN KIDNAPPED FOUND LIVING IN A SHACK HE BUILT HIMSELF

A 10-year-old boy who went missing from his home in Ukraine six months ago has been found in a homemade shack by the Dnipro river banks where he had been living by eating scraps in bins and recycling junk to earn a little money.

Bogdan Furman vanished from his home in Cherkasy, a city in central Ukraine, and went off the radar despite a massive police search.

Police believed he had fallen prey to a paedophile killer, and prepared the boy's family for the worst.

But January 2016, police found his hideout in a shabby shack hidden by the snow on the banks of river Dnipro.

The boy told police that he ran away on his own free will because he was unhappy at home and often beaten up by his drunken mother and father.

'Basically he was an unhappy child. He wasn't taken by a peadophile - he ran away to try to find some happiness,' Aleksandr Vilganiuk, a police spokesman, said after interviewing him.

In the streets, Furman befriended a 24-year-old homeless man who became a sort of second father to him. 'He was like a father to me, I was calling him my dad,' he said.

'He always asked me if I was hungry, always was worrying if I am cold,' he said. When I was living with my parents every time I would be a little late from school my real father would beat me up.'

Bogdan's older sister tried to defend their mother.

'I can understand my mother, she is not a bad person, but she would get drunk occasionally, she didn't have an easy life.'

Nadya Furman, his mother, said; ' I am very thankful to the police and all the people that were looking for my boy, I am very grateful for his return and I want to change for the better.'

Bogdan has been returned to his family....but the social services are keeping a close eye on him.

343KG ARGENTINIAN WOMAN PLEAD TO GET 50KG TUMOUR THAT CAUSED HER TO GAIN EXCESSIVE WEIGHT REMOVED

A morbidly obese Argentinian woman with an 8 stone (50kg) tumour  in her leg has made a public plea for her life after being told she is too heavy to be taken to hospital for treatment.

Isabella Amaral, who weighs 54 stones (343kg), says her weight gain spiralled because of the gigantic lymphoma in her left leg, which needs urgent treatment.

The 30-year-old depends entirely on her friends and family for support and urgently has accused medics of waiting for her to die as she is being refused transport to hospital.

Amaral told local media: ' They say it is impossible to move somebody of my weight in an ambulance, but I know it's a lie because they have done it with other people in my condition, they are leaving me to die!'

Isabella is unable to move from the bed and constantly needs care from her mother, two brothers and family friends, who help to bathe, feed her and keep her company day and night.

However it is understood that the government of Rosario in the Argentine province of Santa Fe, are involved in a dispute and are impeding her from being taken to hospital in an ambulance.

According to Argentinian news site Cronica, Isabella went to hospital repeatedly when she was mobile, but they did not operate on the tumour in time.

She says she now needs specialist care that she can't afford to pay fro in a private clinic and her hometown of Rosario doesn't have the resources to pay for the treatment she needs.

'I have no life, I breathe because the air is free, I need to be transferred immediately', she added in an interview. Isabella said that nobody wants to take the responsibility for operating on her because she 'frightens the doctors and they don't want to see me'.

She said that her tumour slowed her down and eventually immobilized her and that her weight had spiralled at the same time.

'I don't want to be evaluated over  the phone or from a photo,' the distraught woman added.

'I don't believe in the virtual stuff. The doctors who come to my house get scared, they don't even want to look at me, but I want to live, I need my health.'

The distraught young woman has told her story to the media in a bid to get the local government to change their minds and send an ambulance so she can be seen to.

She added: ' I don't want money or donations. I want the whole world to no that they are refusing me the possibility to be attended to like I should be. They are pushing me to my death and they are going to achieve it.'

A cyclist moaning about logs on his bike path was left seemingly calm when he realized that the debris was actually a crocodile or alligator.

The cyclist, wearing a GoPro, is seen riding down a bike path when he begins to complain about logs and debris left in the road.

Suddenly, however as he approaches the roadblock, he realizes that the debris is actually a living reptile.

'I'm sick and tired of people putting these logs across the pa... oh that's a crocodile, Or alligator, Whatever,'

The man believed to be in the United States, took another look at the large reptile sitting on the path and then carried on with his bike ride.
