** MAN THROWS CHILD INTO CROCODILE ENCLOSURE**

three-year-old boy who was seriously injured after ending up in the crocodile enclosure at a Cambridgeshire zoo was attacked by at least one of the reptiles, Sky News understands.

A 30-year-old man from Norfolk, who was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, has been released on bail after being declared not fit for interview.

Police said the three-year-old boy from Cambridgeshire remains in Addenbrooke's Hospital in a critical but stable condition, following the incident at Johnson's of Old Hurst on Thursday.

Officers were called to the zoo at 1.24pm by the ambulance service to reports that a boy had suffered serious injuries.

The boy was pulled out by staff from the zoo and received medical treatment at the scene.

On Friday, Cambridgeshire Police said the man, who is not known to the toddler, had been "assessed as not being fit for interview".

Detective Inspector Verity McCann, from Cambridgeshire Police, said: "Our enquiries are ongoing as we continue to understand the circumstances surrounding this distressing incident.

GETS a JOB WITH BABIES JUST WEEKS AFTER CHARGED for DOWNLOADING CHILD P**N

The UK government is "urgently" reviewing a system used to keep young and vulnerable people safe after a BBC investigation revealed how a nursery worker arrested for downloading indecent images of children was able to get another childcare job.

Officials are now examining the case of Kristian Parry, who was later sentenced to two years in prison, to "address the issues" raised.

Parry's arrest was not reflected via the Disclosure and Barring Service's (DBS) Update system, which only searches for pre-conviction information every nine months, leaving potential employers unaware.

Parents at the nursery said the system was "not fit for purpose". A senior politician described it as "fatally flawed".

Parry, 26, was jailed in March after admitting possessing indecent images and falsifying job references to obtain a role at a nursery in Leeds.

The s*x offender then went on to secure work in the baby room at another nursery in the city two months after his arrest, while still on bail.

HAVE YOU BEEN A VICTIM OF THIS MAN?
******** PLEASE SHARE ************

The Met police are currently looking for 100 more potential victims.....

A man who created more than 100 fake social media profiles to blackmail and s*xually assault other young Muslim men has been jailed for 16 years.

Waleed Saeed, a British-born Muslim of Somali descent, was sentenced in what one Metropolitan Police officer described as the biggest "s*xploitation" case he has dealt with.

Snaresbrook Crown Court, London, heard how the 31-year-old used a network of fake Snapchat, Instagram and Grindr profiles to solicit intimate images of Muslim men and teenagers as young as 15, many of whom privately identified as gay or bis*xual.

He would then threaten to "out" them to their friends and family.

On occasions when victims could not pay his ransom, he would attempt to coerce them into meeting in person so he could s*xually assault them.

Saeed had been convicted of 17 offences, including r**e, blackmail and making indecent images of children.

In March, Saeed pleaded guilty to nine charges relating to four victims, including two counts of threatening to share intimate images, two counts of blackmail and two counts of making indecent images of a child.

A jury then found him guilty of eight other counts of charges including r**e, attempted r**e and blackmail.

Saeed's offending, which dates back to 2018, was discovered in August 2024 when a r**e in a London park was reported.

The 18-year-old victim told police he had exchanged s*xual images with someone he believed to be a transgender woman, but was in fact Saeed.

Shortly afterwards, he received threatening messages from another account run by Saeed, revealing his true identity and demanding payment in exchange for not releasing the images.

When the victim could not pay, Saeed coerced him into meeting in a London park late at night on three separate occasions, where he s*xually assaulted and r**ed him, while wearing a face covering to hide his identity.

Forensic evidence recovered from the victim's phone led police to arrest Saeed and seize two mobile phones containing further intimate images of victims, some of whom are believed to be children.

He used usernames such as "Trans Girl Leah", "amzyyyy09", and "ComeDeal" to target victims in London and across the UK.

Police uncovered a series of reports dating back as far as 2018, following what police called a "sinister pattern of offending".

Handing down the sentence, Judge HHJ Greene addressed Saeed directly: "You, yourself, are gay and like some of your victims, deeply troubled by what you perceive as your culture's negative views of homos*xuality.

"Your victims were all young men of similar age, teenagers. You took advantage of the fact that cultural issues made them particularly vulnerable to the threat of exposure."

The judge told the court Saeed was "adept" at "catfishing and s*xploitation."

"Once your victims had been lured into believe you were someone they might find attractive, they would be tricked into sharing intimate images of themselves, images you would be careful to insist would include their faces, so they could then be threatened by your exposure."

The court heard how one victim - a university student who had shared s*xual videos and pictures with Saeed - felt unable to confide in family because of their "strict culture".

A victim impact statement read to the court said: "I don't go home much because I am constantly afraid they'll find out.

"They would be very ashamed of me and not want to talk to me anymore."

The statement also detailed how he had needed to take anti-anxiety medication.

"Whenever I hear the Snapchat notification I feel scared and have to check it straight away, the first thing I think is it could be a picture or video of me he could've posted."

A man from Keighley has been jailed for 18 years for s*xual offences against two children.

Barry Riley, 68, was sentenced today (Friday) at Leeds Crown Court after he was found guilty of seventeen charges.

The offences occurred in the Castleford area between 2015 and 2021.

Leeds Safeguarding Unit began an investigation after the victims came forward in 2022. This resulted in Riley being charged with r**e, assault by touching and cause/incite a girl under 13 to engage in s*xual activity.

As part of his sentencing Riley, of Green End Road, was also put on the S*x Offenders’ Register for life and given a lifetime restraining order.

Investigating officer Detective Sergeant Katie Nutton, said:

“I would like to praise the victims for their courage in reporting Riley’s crimes.

“I hope this outcome will give them some closure and allow them to move forward with their lives.

“I also hope it will encourage other victims of s*xual abuse to come forward and report it to our specially trained officers, who will provide support throughout the process.”

An Oldham man has been convicted of attempted murder of a woman and child following a house fire in Stoke-on-Trent.

The jury returned their verdict following an 11-week trial at Nottingham Crown Court with Shakil Uddin 23, of Oldham convicted of attempted murder and arson with intent

He was among 10 others convicted over a fire at a house on Beverley Drive, Bentilee, in Dec 2021

The men smashed the downstairs windows and poured petrol in the hallway near to the front door and outside near to the living room window.

A 31-year-old woman was struck on the head and set on fire. She received 65 per cent burns and was not expected to survive, but she did.

She was in a coma for two months and has life-changing injuries that require continual medical treatment.

A 13-year-old girl received 15 per cent burns to her right arm and right leg.

To escape, the woman and the girl, smashed the upstairs bedroom window and jumped out.

The woman suffered a broken pelvis, broken ribs and a lacerated liver; she had to learn to walk again. They were both taken to hospitals in Birmingham for treatment.

At around 4pm on 16 December 2021, Naveed Hussain, Bilal Ahmed, Kashif Ahmed and Ali Abbas had a fight on Kildare Street, Longton. Kashif Ahmed received a stab wound to his shoulder and went to hospital for treatment.

At 10.55pm the same day, a number of men went to a house on Beverley Drive, Bentilee, demanding to speak to Naveed Hussain. The men smashed the downstairs windows and poured petrol in the hallway near to the front door and outside near to the living room window.

The case required extensive work to piece together CCTV, digital evidence and specialist material to build a robust evidential case for each individual involved.

Prior to the trial, Naveed Hussain, 32, of Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, pleaded guilty to violent disorder and possession of a knife blade/sharp pointed article in a public place in December 2025.

Muhammad Sufyaan-Shah, 25 of HMP Hindley, Wigan, and Tayyeb Majeed, 23, of Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, were both convicted of Section 18 – grievous bodily harm with intent.

Kashif Ahmed, 25, of Stoke-on-Trent, and Bilal Ahmed (below right), 26, of Normacot, Stoke-on-Trent and Ali Abbas, 22 of Normacot, Stoke-on-Trent, pleaded guilty to violent disorder.

Ali Abbas , 22, of Normacot, Stoke-on-Trent, and Haris Mahmood , 21, of Normacot, Stoke-on-Trent, both pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted murder and arson with intent to endanger life.

The men have all been remanded and are due to be sentenced at a date, time and location to be fixed.

THREE PRISONERS FOUND GUILTY OF MURDERING CHILD KILLER KYLE BEVAN

Lee Newell, aged 57, Mark Fellows, aged 47, and David Taylor, aged 64, were convicted today of attacking Kyle Bevan in his cell before positioning his body to make it look like he was asleep.

The court heard that Bevan, aged 33, entered his cell at the prison on 4 November last year.

The trio followed him in before attacking him with makeshift weapons including a piece of metal taken from the back of a television and fashioned into a blade.

CCTV showed they had remained in Bevan’s cell for several minutes. He was not seen alive again.

During that period, Bevan was stabbed more than 25 times to the neck and body with a weapon. Further injuries were caused with another weapon while evidence showed that his heart and blood vessels were damaged and that he died from blood loss.

The court heard Newell, Fellows and Taylor had no regular association with Bevan, who was classed as a “vulnerable prisoner” and would not usually go onto the fourth landing where his cell was located.

CCTV footage showed the three men together in the days leading up to the killing. On the day of the murder, they were seen moving between cells on their landing before going together to the fourth floor shortly before the attack.

Taylor was seen taking an item from his waistband before entering Bevan’s cell. Four minutes and 39 seconds later, the three men left together.

Bevan’s body was not discovered until a roll call the following morning at which point the prison went into ‘lockdown’.

Searches of the defendants’ cells found items with Bevan’s blood on them. A piece of metal fashioned into a point was recovered and also contained his blood. Other items described as “makeshift weapons” were found in Taylor’s cell.

The jury found that the three defendants acted together and intended to kill Bevan or cause him serious harm. All three were convicted of murder.

A ra**st who was swiftly hunted down after attacking a victim in Huddersfield, has been sentenced to more than 20 years

Ismail Hussain, aged 28, of no fixed address in Huddersfield, was sentenced at Leeds Crown Court today (Thursday 18 June ) after being found guilty of two offences of r**e in Huddersfield town centre last year.

He was jailed for 15 years with an extended licence period of eight years making for a 23 year total sentence.

Safeguarding detectives have praised the courage of the victim in both reporting the offending and supporting the prosecution.

Officers attended in the New Street area on 2 August 2025 after the victim, a man in his 20s, reported being approached and then seriously s*xually assaulted by an unknown man in an alleyway near there.

The offending had taken place between 5am and 5.30am that morning.

Fast paced enquiries, including examination of CCTV, led to Hussain being identified within hours of the report, and then located and arrested in the early hours of 3 August.

A woman has been jailed for child cruelty and battery after repeatedly assaulting a baby girl in Milton Keynes in November, 2025.

Ramana Potumudi, 58, of no fixed abode, was sentenced to just one year and nine months in prison at Aylesbury Crown Court

The court was told that the baby girl has recovered from the physical and emotional ordeal.

She had earlier pleaded guilty to one count of assault, ill-treatment, neglect or abandonment of a child likely to cause unnecessary suffering or injury at the same court on January 21.

Potumudi was arrested and charged on December 21.

*** A mother offered her one-year-old daughter to a man she met on a dating website ***

Christopher Brownhill met the woman online in 2017. Their conversation turned quickly to a shared s*xual attraction to young children. She sent him non-s*xual photos of her daughter, then promised to bring the child with her if they met in person.

They never actually met. But Brownhill kept talking to the woman online, describing in detail what he intended to do to her daughter if the meeting ever happened.

At Shrewsbury Crown Court on 12 June 2026, Brownhill, 38, of Bridgnorth, was jailed for 11 years. The woman, who cannot be named to protect the child's identity, was sentenced to six years. Both were given a S*xual Harm Prevention Order and placed on the s*x offenders register for life. The court was told the child no longer has any contact with her mother.

A West Mercia Police officer said.. "While no in person meeting took place, the planning and communication between Brownhill and the child's mother were deeply disturbing."

No meeting happened. No physical contact occurred. And it is still eleven years, and six years, and a child who will grow up without her mother. Because intent, planning, and detailed communication about abusing a one-year-old is not a near-miss. It is the offence.

The most dangerous person in a child's life is not always a stranger online. Sometimes it is the parent doing the introducing.

A pa******le who r**ed two children died of excruciating cancer which spread throughout his body, three years into his 18-year prison sentence.

Arthur Hodgson admitted a total of 18 offences including r**es, s*xual assaults and causing a child to engage in s*xual activity.

ChronicleLive previously reported how he was sentenced 18 years and nine months behind bars at Newcastle Crown Court in March 2022.

The court heard how Hodgson's offences had a "dreadful and continuing" effect on the victims.

Judge Amanda Rippon said there was a significant risk that Hodgson would commit further offences. She imposed a five year extended licence period to protect the public from him for longer.

The judge told Hodgson, then 69, of Birch Grove, Jarrow, South Tyneside: "I have had no difficulty in concluding that you are dangerous. I am satisfied there is a significant risk of you committing further offences if you could. There is a significant risk of you causing serious harm as a result."

Hodgson, who was serving his sentence at HMP Northumberland, died in hospital of metastatic oesophageal carcinoma on September 26, 2025, age 73.

The cancer started in his oesophagus and spread to other parts of his body.

NHS England commissioned an independent clinical reviewer to look at Hodgson's clinical care at the category C prison near Acklington in Northumberland.

She concluded that the clinical care he received was of a good standard and equivalent to what he could have expected to receive in the community.

The clinical reviewer found that nursing staff completed appropriate care planning, they saw Hodgson weekly and amended his pain relief to meet his needs. He was placed on the complex care register and was discussed regularly at the multi-disciplinary team meetings.

The healthcare team appropriately transferred Hodgson to hospital when his health deteriorated. They also continued to contact hospital staff for updates daily.

The clinical reviewer made no recommendations.
