Australian who killed six pedestrians jailed for life

By 820 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.

The authorities confirmed that the shooter, Gary Martin(45), an employee at the company was killed in a shootout with police. Five police officers were shot and wounded. Of the five officers wounded, two were airlifted to nearby trauma centres. Police said that he was reportedly sacked prior to the attack.

Aurora Police Chief Kristen Ziman said that Martin was acting alone. The incident is said to have taken place at Henry Pratt Company, a firm that makes valves for large water pipes. Ziman said that the first two officers were shot shortly after arriving.

Paris police jailed for raping Canadian tourist

By 731 0

Two Paris police officers, have been sent to jail for seven years for gang-raping a Canadian tourist women (39), at a renowned Paris police headquarters in 2014.

Nicolas Redouane (49), and Antoine Quirin (40) are jailed for seven years by a Paris court, three years after the case was put for another trial. The case has got wide media coverage in France and has been debating sexual assault and the Me Too movement.

The victim, is the daughter of a Canadian ex-detective. She said that she was raped by three, in which the third person could not be identified. Medical examinations were carried out for the case, and it showed that she was drunk during the rape. The police officers had always argued about the victim’s statements at the court.

One of the lawyers for the officers claimed that the DNA traces are not able to prove the rape. But a guard on duty told the trial that he had seen the lady afterwards in tears, saying that she had been raped by several officers. Paris prosecutor and Ms Spanton took the case, which was initially thrown out, for re appeal. The two officers will have to pay the victim €20,000 (£17,500; $22,900) in damages.
