When authorities in Greenwood, South Carolina, arrived at the deserted intersection after 1 a.m. on May 7, 2023, they found a mangled BMW sedan in the road with debris scattered around it. On the shoulder near the woods, lay the car’s fatally injured owner, 46-year-old Davis McClendon. But something about the scene seemed strange.McClendon was about 50 feet away from his car, suggesting he’d been outside standing next to it and been hit. His shirt and shoe were lying on the pavement. There was no other vehicle with relevant damage.McClendon’s girlfriend, Meredith Haynie, was there by the time authorities appeared,…

I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.I do not want to reconcile with my family.

Such has been the excitement of late over mooted restoration of wolf and lynx to the Highlands – or immediate fretting about rumbunctious wild boar – that we too readily forget the ‘Highland Tiger’.Probably because very few of us will ever see a Scottish wildcat, at least in the actual wild.They are very shy – with good reason; after centuries of persecution they have abundant cause to hate humans – and are found, these days, only in a few random redoubts.The likes of the glens of Angus, Royal Deeside, the quieter wooded parts of the Black Isle and, perhaps most…

Efe Obada has called time on his incredible 10-year NFL career that started with his first career game at 22 for the London Warriors.His NFL career was improbable, given how late he picked up the game, but it seemed impossible given his upbringing.Born in Nigeria, Obada was trafficked to the Netherlands to be with his mother and his sister.The NFL star was then taken to the UK, along with his sister by a stranger and left on a street in east London.The pair then ended up in the care of social services, who kept Obada and his sister together and…

Reform UK and the Tories stepped up calls to quit the European Convention on Human Rights yesterday after a foreign migrant who raped a sleeping woman won the right to remain in the UK.Hendrix Ekwen, 34, took nine years to admit he was to blame for the ‘appalling’ attack on the woman when she was drunk, unconscious and ‘vulnerable’, an immigration tribunal heard.Because of his ‘sexual entitlement’, he did not accept guilt for the crime and tried to ‘place responsibility of the rape with the victim’.But he has now won an immigration case to stay in Britain after launching a human…

THE number of foreign offenders still living in Britain despite being earmarked for deportation has surged nearly 10 per cent to a record high since Labour came to power, according to a study.Just over 18,000 foreign offenders subject to deportation were living freely within the community after serving their sentence when Labour won the election in July 2024.But this surged to nearly 20,000 during the first quarter of this year, according to the Migration Observatory findings.It dwarfs the number of foreign national offenders (FNOs) being returned to their country of origin, which by comparison was just 5,858 in the year…
