George Pell remanded into custody

By 661 0

Cardinal George Pell was remanded into custody on Wednesday for child sex offences. George Pell is Australia’s most senior Catholic cardinal and a former top adviser to Pope Francis. A jury found that he had sexually abused two 13-year-olds in 1996 and 1997, in the rooms of a Melbourne cathedral. George Pell, the Vatican treasurer is the third most senior Catholic in the world.

Pell will be formally sentenced on March 13. Pell was found guilty of child sex abuse in December. The guilty verdict was revealed on Tuesday after a court suppression order was dropped.

The pre-sentencing hearing was told Pell’s child sex crimes each carry maximum jail terms of 10 years. Prosecutor Mark Gibson SC told Chief Judge Peter Kidd that Pell’s offending involved two vulnerable boys and should be classed as serious.

“These acts … were, in our submission, humiliating and degrading towards each boy and gave rise to distress in each boy,” he said. “There has been a breach of trust in this case in the sense that Cardinal Pell was the driving force and in charge of this cathedral and these two choristers were a cog in the cathedral wheel … in Sunday masses.”

Venezuela crisis : Deadly clashes at the border towns

By 805 0

Severely bad clashes had been broken out at the border towns across Venezuela as opposition activists try to bring aid into the country across government blockades.

It is reported that two people have been killed in these clashes between the soldiers and opposition supporters after Maduro closed the border with Brazil and Colombia. The trucks loaded with humanitarian aid tried to cross over from Brazil and Colombia.

The Venezuelan soldiers fired tear gas at opposition supporters who were trying to unload the goods in the trucks. This caused harm to hundreds of people.

Demonstrators set up barricades and burned tires in the Venezuelan border town of Urena, as attention turned to whether National Guard troops stationed at the border crossing would fulfill Maduro’s orders to block humanitarian aid from reaching a sick and hungry population.

Australian who killed six pedestrians jailed for life

By 719 0

An Australian man named James Gargasoulas (29) who drove a car into the pedestrians, causing their death is jailed for life. The accident happened on a busy shopping street in central Melbourne in 2017.

The Victorian state Supreme Court, on Friday said that the accused is jailed for life with a minimum non-parole period of 46 years. The victims of the accident killed 6, including a baby and a 10-year-old girl.

“This was one of the worst examples of mass murder in Australian history,” said Justice Mark Weinberg to Gargasoulas at the sentencing hearing in Melbourne. “”The horror of what you did has profoundly affected the lives of many of those who were present that day in Bourke Street, and who either witnessed your actions, or their aftermath.”

This incident was reported as Australia’s worst mass killings since the 1996 Port Arthur massacre on the southern island state of Tasmania, that killed 35 people.
