1.5.1 The Steven Lawrence case
Stephen
Lawrence, a 18 year old West Indian school boy was stabbed to death as he
waited for a bus in Eltham, South East London, in April 1993. The handling of
the case by the Police has been disgraceful beyond belief. So disgusted was
even the right wing paper Daily Mail
that in 1997 in an unprecedented move it published photographs of the five
white murderers - Gary Dobson, Neil Acourt, Jamie Acourt, Luke Knight and David
Norris. It openly challenged them to take the paper to court. The lawyers of
the five did not take the challenge.
How
many more such cases go unnoticed ?
A
public enquiry into police handling of the murder investigation was started in
1998. The chairman is Sir William Macpherson. The salient features are :-
*
Every day brings new revelations of inept detective work, a lack of urgency and
resources, missed opportunities. The case shows an astonishingly casual and
incompetent attitude on the part of certain police officers.
*
At first the police complained about a wall of silence in the community. But
some of the crucial information reached them within hours and days of the
murder. They treated it with " considerable indifference " The full
information came from an informant who was not seen by police again for four
days
*
Police were given the names of five suspects within hours of killing - but did
not arrest them for two weeks.
*
Vital evidence was lost due to this inexcusable delay in arresting suspects - a
delay outrageously justified by former Deputy Assistant Commissioner David
Osland, who said even arresting them after two weeks was 'premature'
*
The senior investing officer, retired Detective Superintendent Brian Weeden
admitted not making an arrest earlier because he was ignorant of the criminal
law on arrests, believing he had to have evidence rather than reasonable
suspicion.
*
And when the five were eventually held and their homes searched police forgot
to look under floorboards, despite being told knives were probably hidden
there.
*
An internal enquiry was carried out by Deputy Chief Superintendent Roderick
Barker. He gave an explanation. First he had discussed what approach to take
with Commander Hugh Blenkin, in charge of operational matters in 1993. Blenkin,
he said, had told him that the review should be carried out sensitively and
should not criticise any officers, particularly Detective Superintendent Brian
Weeden, who was then the senior investing officer.
*
Eventually in June 1998 Assistant Commissioner Ian Johnson of the Metropolitan
Police made a dramatic and unprecedented public apology to the
In
February 1997 he said ' I believe right from the start we did everything we
could ' Today with the backing of the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir
Paul Condon - he accepted unreservedly that that was not the case. The internal
police review of the investigation, which had suggested nothing had gone wrong,
had been " totally discredited " I deeply regret that we have not put
away the killers.

1.5.2 Child murderers
On
Baby death couple admit tape
recorded cruelty.
A
mother and her partner who escaped prosecution for killing a baby because it
cannot be proved whether one or both was responsible for the child’s death,
today changed their plea and admitted cruelty and neglect. John Sherrington, 33
and Lavinia Adams, 31 will be sentenced on these charges by Judge Richard
Hawkins at the Old Bailey next month. The move came a day after a tape of 18
month old Sarah’s screams were played to the jury. The tape was recorded as
Sherrington held the baby in a headlock between his legs. Sarah died of brain
injuries and heavy bruising in November last year, two days after being
admitted to
Both
defendants have now admitted two counts of failing to seek or provide treatment
for Sarah’s injuries. Martial arts expert Sherrington also admitted squeezing
Sarah between his legs and
”
There is no doubt one or other of the defendants caused the fatal injuries. In
the absence of evidence showing whoever caused these injuries and if the other
was offering wilful encouragement as part of shared intention to harm the
child, it would be wrong to charge either or both with homicide.” The jury has
been told that Sherrington and Adams had independently and jointly attacked
Sarah during the eight weeks before her death. Police found the tape when they
searched the defendant’s Sutton home after their arrest.
[
But suppose they had not found the tape,
or the tape did not exist, the two murderers would have gone free!, because
that is British Justice !! True, the baby died, she died of horrible attacks,
and true there could not be anyone else causing the death, but it could not be
proved that one or both were responsible - what a system of justice. YES
there have been many such cases where both parents have gone scot free ]
2. Truth is unpalatable
Babies, lies and videotape : These
terrible films of parental abuse force us to face the unthinkable.
Libby
Purves wrote for the Times on 28
October 1997 :- It doesn’t bear thinking of does it ? The children’s ward is
darkened, quiet and warm, its peace is broken by the distant squeak of a
nurse’s shoe. The small child lies in a cubicle, breathing quietly. At the
bedside sits the timeless figure of
mother watching at her infant’s sickbed. She reaches out to the baby and
roughly flicks or slaps it awake. Then suffocates it. Or breaks its arms, or
forces disinfectant into its mouth.
But
everything has been seen by hidden observers. Lights snap on, a nurse comes in,
the damage is prevented and the harrowing process of law begins to roll :
towards care orders, prosecutions, psychiatry. That baby will not grow up with
its own mother now, but at least it will grow up.
These
things have happened not once but more than 30 times in the past decade. The
video cameras were installed in two hospitals. Under cover of clinical work,
Professor David Southall then conducted covert observation of parents whose
babies had suffered inexplicable illness. He got this answers. Four of the
parents - not all, but mostly mothers have since confessed that a total of
eight previous deaths in their family
were not the medically mysterious “ sudden infant death syndrome ” but
straightforward suffocation. Another death sibling of the video babies was
found to have been poisoned.
These
parents, says Professor Southall, were plausible and pleasant : what he saw on
the video cameras was a rapid transition to brutality which would otherwise be
unbelievable. Such things are what scientists call “ counter -initiative “
nobody wants to accept that smiling, well presented parents do the things
recorded on Professor Southall’s log. “ Hitting
child on mouth ... toothbrush rammed down throat, ... Mother disconnected
oxygen ... swore at him .... slapped him ... flicked eyelids open ... pushed
face into pillow. “ Unbelievable: but it has to be confronted. ....
Think
of the far greater privacy of a home. Think of the fact that most of the babies
in the Southall studies had no visible marks of abuse on them, so cunning were
their tormentors. Reflect that a baby doesn’t necessarily die : the paper also
remarks that a significant proportion of cerebral palsy and learning
difficulties remains unexplained, but could be due to episodes of suffocation.
As I said, it does not bear thinking of. In
Pontificate
all you like about civil rights, but without video such people would be
uncatchable..... What he will get is hornet’s nest about his ears. .... But the
videos and convictions and confessions are there. Infanticide happens. Note
another uncomfortable piece of history involving the American journal : the
case of Waneta Hoyt. This woman provided evidence for a landmark 1972 study
suggesting that cot death runs in families : a whole industry flourished,
building devices to test for it and alarms to prevent it. Twenty years later Hoyt admitted that she
killed five of her children. These things are horrible but they are true; we do
not have the right to indulge our sentimentality by romanticising motherhood
and blinding ourselves to the things that go sour in women, as well as men.

operation was also performed on 500 people who were not psychiatric patients,

On
11 September 1997 Susannah Herbert reported from
“
About 15,000 mentally handicapped women
aged under 45 have been sterilised without their knowledge or permission while
in the care of French institutions, it emerged yesterday. The women, who
include lightly afflicted individuals with learning difficulties, below average
IQs or social adjustment problems, were sterilised at the request of their
parents or on the initiative of supervising institutions. According to the
satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo,
Down’s Syndrome sufferers have also been systematically sterilised. Many of the victims were told at the time of
the operation that they were being treated for appendicitis or the like and are
still unaware they can never have children.
One
woman, Virginie, 42, was sterilised in her twenties, despite having only a very
light mental handicap. ‘ I wanted to have a baby but they told me that, because
of a hip operation I couldn’t have one - it would be paralysed’ she told Charlie Hebdo.: This was a pretext. They
cut my tubes without warning, telling me that they had to operate again on my hip.
My mother told me when I woke up. I started to cry. I didn’t dare to tell the
man I was going out with. I was frightened he’d leave me, he adored children.
Now I have a partner and when we see parents with their children t makes us
feel truly terrible.“
The
sheer number of women involved is surprising as
The 15,000 figure, said Charlie Hebdo, does not take into account previous generations, immigrant women sterilised without their
knowledge, in the sixties nor the inmates of psychiatric hospitals. The institutions
and the parents are responsible. They are the ones who asked for the girls to
be sterilised, saying they were incapable of bringing up children - said Mme
Diedrich.“ It is often concerned young girls with social or affective problems
who had difficulty at school.

The

at the end of the war had been “ well intentioned “ but sometimes “ insensitive

3.6 Midwives to lift boycott of
Nestle ( Might is Right - once again )
The
cash-strapped Royal College of Midwives yesterday pulled out of the
international boycott of Nestle products, in spite of renewed evidence that
formula milk manufacturers endanger the health of babies in developing
countries by marketing aimed at persuading mothers to stop breast feeding. The
decision of the RCM, whose members look after women in the days after
childbirth when they begin breast feeding, is likely to cause a storm. Strong
feelings over sponsorship from Sainsburys, who sell their own brand of formula,
threatened to split the national Childbirth trust this month and ended in over
30 breast feeding counsellors resigning.
Midwives
were divided on the issue of the boycott at their conference in May, where
several baby milk companies have stalls. The midwives voiced concern over the
way baby milk was being promoted and voted to end the hypocrisy of boycotting
Nestle while accepting other sponsorship. They called for a review of relations
with all companies. But an RCM statement indicated a wider boycott was not on
the cards. Louise Silverton, the RCM’s deputy general secretary, said : “ It is
far better to maintain a professional working relationship with baby milk
companies, to ensure a flow of accurate and evidence based information and to
try and influence their policies from the inside. "
The
Nestle boycott began in 1977 when evidence emerged of the impact of bottle
feeding on babies in developing countries. Poor families were unable to afford
sufficient powdered baby milk and were over-diluting it, sometimes with unclean
water and without sterilising equipment. The World Health Organisation estimates
effective breast feeding could avert 1.5 million infant deaths a year. The
boycott, which is endorsed by organisations in 18 countries, succeeded in
persuading baby milk companies to sign an international code on marketing their
products. In January a report from 27 charities and Church organisations found
widespread breaches of the code. Patti Rundall, of Baby Milk Action which
campaigns against the promotion of bottle feeding, said she thought it
dangerous for midwives to accept money from companies such as Nestle.

He says :-
A
Roman Catholic priest who sexually abused young boys in his Warwickshire orphanage
and stood by while they were beaten by nuns for complaining about their
ordeals, was jailed for seven years yesterday. Sentencing Eric Taylor, aged 78,
Judge Marten Coates called him " a disgrace to your cloth and the
church." He was found guilty at
His
victims, some as young as six, were so haunted by the abuse that many later
withdrew into reclusive lives or turned to alcohol for comfort. At least two
orphans were so guilt-ridden that they committed suicide, according to police
who carried out the investigation. Another, due to appear as a witness at the
trial attempted to kill himself during the prosecution's evidence.
Those
boys who complained were usually beaten by nuns with belts, canes, wet rags or
straps. " I heard the pleadings and screams of [one ] victim " a
former resident told the court. " the screams for mercy as he was cowering
about the floor, never being able to avoid each strike."

One
man, Nasrullah, wept openly at the grave of his childhood friend Habibullah. “
I am a Sunni and Habibullah was a Shia.” he said “ before we used to live here
as brothers, there was never any problem or dispute between us. We never
thought we would fight each other.” But Shahukhel and many other parts of Hangu
district have been gripped by one of the worst outbreaks of sectarian violence
ever witnessed in the province. Days of fighting have left up to 30 people dead
and dozens injured. The army has been called in to restore order, and thousands
of troops, paramilitary forces and police are deployed in the area. Although a
curfew has been enforced in some parts, there are still reports of sporadic
clashes.
In
Shahukhel alone, 13 people were killed - almost all of them Shias - when a
large force of Sunni tribesmen attacked from the surrounding hills.“ There were
several thousand of them who set up positions on the hills over there.” said
Syed Muhammad Sibtain, pointing to ridge less than a mile away.“ They opened
fire with mortars, rocket-launchers and heavy machine guns. ” The Shias say
they fought back for 30 hours but were unable to match the firepower of their
opponents, who descended on the village, burning and looting. In one small
courtyard Yasin Ali, a local policeman, held up the blood soaked clothes of his
wife and son. A mortar round had left a gaping hole in his front wall.“
The
attack came in the afternoon” he said “ The first shell hit my uncle’s home,
killing one of my relatives and then a second mortar bomb hit this house,
killing six people, including my wife and four year old son.” The bloodshed was
sparked by the Shias’ annual New Year celebrations, known as Nauroz . The radical Sunni Supreme
Council objected to the festivities and called for a two day strike in protest.

In
May 1939 Bose was outmanoeuvred by Gandhi and had to resign as President of the
Congress Party. He immediately started the Forward Block. That party was eager to capitulate to Muslim demands and
sough co-operation of Muslim League, but considered Hindu Mahasabha as communal
organisation - a political plague. Bose clearly felt that unless Hindu
Mahasabha was crushed
In
June 1940 Bose came to Mumbai. He was seeking a solution to the Hindu Muslim
problem. According to newspaper reports ‘ he
went to outbid Gandhi ‘ justifying Savarkar’s concerns. Jinnah asked, “ On
whose behalf are you going to negotiate with me ? “ Bose said, “ On behalf of
the Congress Party. “ But they have ousted you. “ said Jinnah.“ I am a leader
of the Forward Block. “ said Bose.“ Sure. “ said Jinnah, “ But Forward Block
does not represent interests of the Hindus. So, how can you negotiate on behalf
of Hindus ? If Savarkar was to negotiate, it has some meaning as he represents
Hindu Mahasabha which protects Hindu interests. Why don’t you go and see him.?
"
Bose
became wiser after this rebuke. He saw Savarkar who advised him to get out of
the country and form the Indian National Army. Even then Bose wasted time, got
arrested for agitation for removal of the so called Black Hole of Calcutta
Monument, repented, escaped from internment and eventually did what Savarkar
asked him to do. For that adventure we shall always be grateful to him.
