Who is Vegas Shooter’s Girlfriend Marilou Danley

    While her boyfriend rained bullets and death on Las Vegas concertgoers, Marilou Danley was out of the country, enjoying Japan and her native Philippines with some gal pals, authorities now say. Danley, who lived with the killer Stephen Paddock, was initially dubbed by authorities as an associate of the Las Vegas shooter, partly because her ID had been used by Paddock to secure the 32nd floor room at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino from which he killed 59 people and injured more than 500 in the worst mass murder in decades Mum-of-two among victims Law enforcement contacted Paddock’s friends and family, and Danley, 62, was cleared of any involvement in the shooting, but her exact whereabouts remain unclear. An Australian daily, the Courier Mail, reported that she left for...

Health Secretary will announce an historic 25 per cent increase in nurse training in UK

    Jeremy Hunt will try to reverse a damaging crash in the number of applications for nurse training, with a promise of cash for fast-track courses. The Health Secretary will announce an historic 25 per cent increase in nurse training, to allow an extra 5,000 nurses to start their degrees next year. He will also pledge funding for a further 5,500 nursing associates each year who will earn and learn, rather than study full-time through a traditional university degree. A right to buy affordable homes developed on surplus NHS land will also be promised, in Mr Hunt’s speech to the Conservative party conference. This represents the biggest increase in nurse training places in the history of the NHS, the Health Secretary will tell the Tory faithful in Manchester. However, the annou...

Woman flushed baby’s body down drain until plumber found it three years later

    Sinead Connett admitted to concealing her baby in a towel and three Marks and Spencer's plastic bags before putting him into a drainage pit at the bottom of her parents' garden. Connett, 29, told officers she had been shocked to discover she was pregnant and was terrified her partner would leave her. The newborn baby boy was hidden away for almost three years without her family's knowledge before a plumber made the devastating discovery. Sentencing Connett to 12 months in prison for concealing the birth of a child, Judge Jeremy Richardson described the act as so dreadful that it almost defies description. The discovery was made after her father called in a plumber after having problems with the drains at his home. Judge Richardson said: I have made the decision that you wi...

Rohingya refugees doubt Myanmar’s assurances on going home

    Rohingya Muslims in Bangladesh were sceptical on Tuesday about their chances of ever going home to Myanmar, even though the government there has given an assurance it would accept people verified as refugees. More than half a million Rohingya have fled from a Myanmar military crackdown in Rakhine State launched in late August that has been denounced by the United Nations as ethnic cleansing and placed a huge burden on Bangladesh. Myanmar denies ethnic cleansing, saying it is only fighting Rohingya terrorists who have claimed attacks on the security forces. The government has said anyone verified as a refugee from Myanmar will be allowed to return under a process agreed with Bangladesh in 1993. Bangladesh and Myanmar agreed on Monday to work on a repatriation plan, and a My...

Richard Branson publishes scathing letter from Donald Trump

    Richard Branson has revealed details of his long-running feud with Donald Trump, publishing a scathing letter he received from the then New York property mogul in 2004. Mr Trump wrote to the Virgin brand founder after he launched a short-lived programme, The Rebel Billionaire: Branson’s Quest for the Best, with a similar format to The Apprentice. Excerpts from the letter are reproduced in Mr Branson’s new book, Finding My Virginity. At least your dismal ratings can now allow you to concentrate on your airline which, I am sure, needs every ounce of your energy,” Mr Trump wrote. It is obviously a terrible business and I can’t imagine, with fuel prices etc, that you can be doing any better in it than anyone else. Like television, you should try to get out the airline business...
