A depraved undertaker referred to dead bodies as 'fit' and invited another man to the mortuary to have sex with a corpse.

Nigel Robinson-Wright, 42, posed for photos next to open coffins and naked corpses and offered to supply a man with crystal meth to facilitate sexual activity in the chapel of rest, Preston Crown Court heard.

Kim Whittlestone, prosecuting, told the court Robinson-Wright chatted to paedophiles, animal abusers and those with an interest in dead bodies using encrypted, military grade chatrooms. He egged on a man as he sexually abused a puppy and arranged to meet a paedophile who was offering up a toddler to be raped.

[A lawyer] told the court a number of digital devices were seized and some examined at the scene. "He was in possession of indecent images and there was evidence of him distributing images. Extreme pornography was discovered, involving torture and sexual abuse of children and animals. The defendant had been in contact with others via social media and had been organising the commission of sexual offences against children, dogs and dead bodies."

Robinson-Wright [was sentenced] to 17 years custody with an eight year extended licence period.

@maximus otter See this is why I could never be a copper. I haven't got the self-restraint especially with vile people like this. Is it true Max, that when you join the police you have to listen to the recording of the young girl being murdered by Brady and Hindley?
Apparently the FBI makes agents listen to the tape of the last murder by the Toolbox killers.

It is around on the web - I strongly recommend not going near it. I've only read the transcript and that'll do me.

My son has recently (last couple of years) joined a midlands police force. He has been quite open with us about the nature of the issues that he feels will be difficult for him to cope with — in particular, he is acutely aware that one day he will be required to deal with child abuse cases.

He has never mentioned hearing this recording. It sounds like an urban legend to me as I can see no benefit to anyone in listening to the recording of one particular horrible case from nearly 50 years ago.

The daily and weekly sh*t he has to cope with is enough "dose of reality" for anyone learning the job. He attended 3 sudden deaths in his first month of duty, and attended 2 unusually gruesome suicides in his first few months.

All credit to your son. Some days must be horrendous.

Regarding the recording and use of, yes, maybe it is urban myth, but as @Cochise points out with the case he mentions 'The audio cassette Bittaker and Norris created of themselves raping and torturing Ledford remains in the possession of the FBI Academy; this recording is now used to train and desensitize FBI agents to the raw reality of torture and murder''.

An Arizona ex-cop who's developed a street drug habit and is suffering through a divorce developed a specialized crime niche by stealing from weddings. He cited his divorce as the rationale for targeting weddings.
Former Arizona sheriff’s deputy arrested for allegedly crashing weddings and stealing newlyweds’ gifts

A former sheriff’s deputy in Arizona allegedly crashed as many as 11 weddings and stole thousands of dollars worth of gifts from newly married couples, the Chandler Police Department said this week.

Landon Earl Rankin, 54, was arrested Thursday on suspicion of two counts of burglary in relations to thefts at two Phoenix-area weddings last month.

He is also facing several drug charges after police found amphetamine and fentanyl in his possession ...

Rankin would allegedly pose as a guest at weddings and steal boxes of wedding cards. The boxes at the Phoenix-area weddings both contained between $3,000 and $6,000.

Police chief and officer make reports of rape and defamation

The Public Prosecution Service (OM) is investigating the reports of two police officers. A police officer from Arnhem says she was raped at home by her boss. That chief, in turn, has filed a defamation, slander and stalking complaint.

According to Omroep Gelderland, the spokesperson of the Public Prosecution Service cannot comment on the substance of the case. The Gelderlander has seen the declaration of the agent. In it, the Arnhem resident says she had an affair for months with her 57-year-old boss, who worked in Apeldoorn.

The police chief speaks in the newspaper of "false accusations" and has filed a complaint against the woman. She was briefly arrested at the end of 2021, because she had misbehaved towards the boss after their affair. The woman acknowledges that in her statements.

The rape allegedly happened in November 2020, two months after their relationship was over. The East Netherlands police have been conducting an internal investigation for months. Both officers have been at home ever since.

This could go in WTF but it's a strange crime, and a disturbing one, in the 21st century (though as a species we seem to be returning to medieval times) – a Norwegian man has been apprehended after killing 'several' people with a bow and arrow. The word several fills me with woe.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/oct/13/several-killed-bow-and-arrow-attack-norway

He's pleaded guilty but end up in a psychiatric hospital.

A man charged with killing five people and wounding four others in southern Norway when he attacked strangers with a bow and arrows and knives has pleaded guilty to murder and attempted murder.

Espen Andersen Brathen, 38, was reported by Norwegian news agency NTB to have said at the start of his trial at Buskerud District Court: “I admit criminal guilt for the entire charges.”

The five victims were fatally stabbed on October 13 2021. Brathen also faces 11 counts of attempted murder for allegedly shooting at people with a bow and arrows in Kongsberg, a former mining town with 26,000 residents. He is further accused of causing bodily harm, threatening behaviour, refusing to obey police orders and tossing knives at officers.

The attacks started inside a grocery shop, with Brathen arrested more than half-an-hour after he allegedly started firing arrows inside the premises and attacking people inside their homes.

What I find odd is the number of crimes where the police appear 'puzzled by the motive', but declare that the perpetrators have been 'on a drugs binge' previous to the crime.

To someone off their tits, the 'motive' can be anything from someone looking at them in a funny way to a particularly challenging attempt to capture a bluebottle. If your brain is scrambled, anything can be a 'motive'.

How could I *not* have heard about this!

... There were all the times Trump touted chloroquine as a miracle drug, even tweeting on March 21 that it had a “real chance to be one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine.” The press was predictably enthralled by the storyline: the president had become an infectious disease doctor or perhaps the rogue blogger and snake oil salesman played by Jude Law in Contagion. Some journalists pointed out that the substance is an active ingredient in fish-tank cleaners and a man in Arizona was duly poisoned after drinking it. His wife explained that she recognized the chemical name when Trump talked about in on television. Weeks later we would find out that she had murdered her husband, using the chloroquine story as a pretext. ...

Former minister Dekker seriously injured after fall from road bike, walker arrested
Former minister Sander Dekker was seriously injured last night when he fell off his road bike in the dunes near Monster. De Telegraaf writes that an eyewitness saw that a walker grabbed Dekker by the arm and that he fell as a result. According to the walker, he was driving too fast. The VVD, of which Dekker is a member, does confirm that it is the former minister. Those involved say there is no reason to believe that the walker had a political motive in her action.

The 47-year-old former Minister for Legal Protection was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. He would have broken ribs, a collarbone and pelvis, among other things. He is not in mortal danger, insiders say.

The walker by whom Dekker would have fallen, a 42-year-old woman from Monster, is stuck. She is suspected of inflicting grievous bodily harm, or assault resulting in injury. Initially, the police said that the woman was suspected of aggravated assault and manslaughter, but that suspicion has since been adjusted.

The former VVD minister is an avid racing cyclist. He has fallen before while cycling. In 2015, he broke his hip when he fell during a bike ride in Spain. Two years earlier, he had already broken his collarbone and elbow after being hit over the head with his bike when he had to avoid a dog. He then appeared in the House of Representatives with both arms in a sling and a straw in his drinking glass.

Missing woman (27) found in house, man (65) arrested for human trafficking
A 27-year-old woman who had been missing for six months was found in a house in Amsterdam after a report. The owner of the house, a 65-year-old man, was arrested on suspicion of human trafficking.

The woman had been missing since 5 December 2021 from a closed care institution in Zwammerdam, South Holland. Three days later she was seen in Amsterdam.

In broadcasts of Opsporing Verzocht and Team West, the investigative program of Omroep West, attention was drawn to the disappearance of the woman. In it, photos of her were shown.

Someone who saw Opsporing Verzocht then made an anonymous report, the police say. The case is still under investigation. How the woman is doing, has not been disclosed.

Dutchman arrested for stabbing girl and woman in German primary school
In the German city of Stuttgart, a 24-year-old Dutchman has been arrested for stabbing a 7-year-old girl and a 61-year-old woman in a primary school. The man has since confessed, says the German police.

Both victims are still seriously injured in the hospital. The police rule out a political motive.

The girl was with a number of other children for a holiday program present at the primary school in the nearby town of Esslingen, when the Dutchman stabbed her yesterday. According to the police, the victim was chosen at random; the man did not know her as far as is known. By "courageous" intervention, the 61-year-old woman managed to stop the attack, after which the Dutchman fled.

The kitchen knife that the man used in the attack was found in his home in Esslingen.

According to the police, the man did not resist arrest. The suspect is still being psychologically examined. He is being held by order of an investigating judge on suspicion of attempted manslaughter.

Romanians with three stolen sheep taken off the road
In the Gelderland village of Beek-Ubbergen, three Romanian men were arrested for sheep theft. In the car in which they were sitting, the marechaussee found three sheep that were stolen from a sheep farmer in North Brabant.

Presumably the Romanians were on their way to the German border with the stolen animals from North Brabant. Sheep theft is a major problem in the east of the Netherlands. The police regularly receive reports of farmers who find remnants of slaughtered animals in their pasture.

The Royal Netherlands Marechaussee is a military service that also performs police tasks. The brigades of the Marechaussee are spread over eight provinces.
