The new arrests expand an earlier case, with offences including deprivation of liberty, assaults occasioning bodily harm while armed/in company, grievous bodily harm and torture. The defendants range from a 13-year-old Deeragun boy and a 14-year-old Kirwan girl to multiple adults aged 24–40, with some charged under the Youth Justice Act.

Jamaican man jailed for knowingly infecting woman with HIV.

A Jamaican man, Jermaine Scott, has been sentenced to three years in prison by a UK court for knowingly infecting a woman with HIV. Scott was diagnosed with HIV in 2005 and had been prescribed medication to minimise the risk of transmission to others. He failed to inform the victim of his diagnosis and went on to have unprotected sex with her. The victim subsequently tested positive for HIV, and the pair ended their relationship. Scott was deported from the UK to Jamaica in 2011 but was extradited back to the UK in 2022 to be charged in connection with the incident.
