Scotland abuse case: three family members avoid prison after 'house of terror' ordeal

Three adults – a mother, grandmother and stepfather – were found guilty or pleaded guilty of cruel and unnatural treatment of three children in Balloch and Aberdeen between 2003 and 2012, described in court as a 'house of terror'. They received non-custodial sentences: probation and unpaid work with restrictions on liberty rather than prison. The victims, now adults, spoke of lifelong trauma and said the sentence feels inadequate, while the judge said nothing could repair their childhoods and prosecutors urged continued support for abuse survivors.

Killer’s prison cash scheme: relatives moved tens of thousands behind bars

David Braddon, already serving a life term for killing 18-year-old Conner Marshall in 2015, admitted this year to using a prison phone to orchestrate more than £50,000 in transfers between bank accounts, directing his mother and a former prison officer (with others) to move funds across accounts for 59 people, including relatives of prisoners. The scheme was uncovered after a prison officer received a message and authorities seized a suspect’s phone; Braddon’s accomplices were jailed (his mother Karen Graham and Claire Jones received multi-year sentences, with Nadine Marshall delivering a victim-impact statement). Braddon was given a further three years and seven months for possessing a phone in prison and for handling criminal property, to be added to his life sentence.

Kenya jails Chinese national for smuggling 2,200 live ants

A Kenyan court fined 1 million shillings and sentenced Chinese national Zhang Kequn to 12 months in jail after he was caught at Nairobi’s airport attempting to smuggle about 2,200 live garden ants in his luggage; a co-defendant, Charles Mwangi, is accused of supplying the ants. Wildlife officials say ant trafficking is rising and penalties are used as a deterrent against biopiracy, with several similar cases having occurred in the past.
