A badger has gone on the rampage in Worcestershire, attacking residents and causing havoc for the local constabulary.

The badger first attacked a member of the general public when he went outside to investigate noise, in a separate incident the badger attacked a man who was walking home from the pub.

The Worcestershire Badger Society tracked the animal down and had to put it down because it was injured. But not before it created mayhem in the area. The police actually called the society after they received reports that it was chasing people and had made a couple of their officers jump onto their car bonnet to escape.

When people think of personal injury claims, the first things that come to mind are slips, trips and falls. However, there are many reasons why someone might make a claim.

One reason might be a claim against the police. Claims can relate to police negligence or the like. In such cases, the victim might be entitled to compensation.

More high profile cases revolve around police mistreatment, wrongful arrest or, occasionally, the incorrect use of tasers. However, a person could have been wrongfully caught up when police intervened during a demonstration. People have a right to peaceful protest and such a person may have a case if they were wrongfully arrested, for example.

Other related claims could involve excessive use of force or police negligence. Some people may feel that the police have gone beyond their duty and abused the ‘stop and search’ procedure or something like that.

If you feel that you may have a case, you can get in touch with solicitors who will be able to gauge whether your claim is legitimate or not with reference to the law. Solicitors are unlikely to take on a case if they don’t feel that you could win, particularly in these ‘no win, no fee’ days.

It is believed that the private life of the MI6 spy who was found murdered at his home near the MI6 headquarters is being investigated by Scotland Yard officials. Gareth Williams was found stuffed in a bag and left for dead in his bath. The death was believed to have happened around two weeks ago, leaving the body badly decomposed when Police found him.

The cause of death is yet to be established with further tests such as blood analysis for evidence of drugs and alcohol to be done. When the police entered the building where Williams lived they found a mobile phone along with a few sim cards laid down in a “ritual manner”.

The number of scams where drivers stage accidents to claim on other drivers’ insurers has reached record levels. The IFB have counted around 30,000 accidents being staged last year with an average claim being £17,000. Insurers in the UK are out of pocket about £350million in 2009 and in turn they added £44 to premiums of EVERY driver in the country.

The areas of the UK with the most claims are Birmingham, Liverpool, Blackburn, Manchester, Leeds, East London and North London.

The Fraudsters usually tend to brake suddenly on a clear road or roundabout so that an innocent motorist drives into the back of their vehicle. Then they go on to claim for personal injury, damage to the car and recovery fees. Hideous.

A man who was caught red handed in an east London house’s window has been left humiliated. The house in Bow had a small window measuring 12 inches by 8 inches, the man obviously thought he could squeeze through. It is believed the man spent six hours hanging out of the window until the owner of the house came down for breakfast to see an amazing site.

Firefighters had to remove the window frame to get the man aged 36 out of the tiny gap. When the man was finally freed after 30 minutes of struggling he was arrested on suspicion of burglary and taken to an east London police station. It is unlikely that he will get off with the charges!

Thieves in London have apparently used sledgehammers to break open display cases in jewellery stores De Beers and Swiss watchmakers Omega on Saturday night around 10pm.

The stores in the Royal Exchange shopping centre were targeted by the thieves who have believed to have got away with thousands of pounds worth of goods. The Police, Scotland Yard officials and no doubt the shop owners are now sifting through the CCTV footage. Identifying the thieves will be the next stage in the investigation. The evidence so far seems to suggest the getaway car was a red BMW.

Two police officers have been taken off duty while the Independent Police Complaints Commission looks into how they “dealt” with a pensioner in a Range Rover who it was alleged had driven off after being stopped for not wearing his seat belt.

It was claimed by the man that police had been attempting to issue a fixed penalty notice when the 70-year-old driver’s car window was smashed in by the officers. Video footage shows one PC hitting the window of Robert Whatley’s car and another officer jumping on the bonnet to kick the windscreen.

The pensioner was found guilty of not wearing a seatbelt, failing to stop and also having tinted windows that did not conform to legal requirements. The act of violence by the Police however is the act that is being investigated.

A passenger onboard a transatlantic flight from America suffered a panic attack and tried to force their way into the cockpit. It is believed to be a woman who had suffered a family bereavement, grew anxious and eventually (and repeatedly) tried to force her way in. This led to the pilot having to contact the RAF for a priority approach to a run way, so that the plane could be safely landed. Once the plane was landed, the anxious woman was arrested by police, which landed in Heathrow. The passengers were calmed down by the flight crew during the anxious passenger’s episode.

There is an ongoing case in Newport, South Wales, where a fifteen year old boy was found shot in the head. The boy in question Louis Hole, was found in a pool of his own blood by armed police officers in the vicinity of his home. Louis’s father, Michael Hole, is now being questioned by police with the possibility of his participation in the murder. It is believed that the weapon was fired at close range, and when young Louis was taken to the hospital, he was understood to be in a serious condition. The case will continue after Michael Hole’s questioning.

A lady called Gemma Dorman, from London, warned the police about her ex-partner, Vikramgit Singh in 2008, before being fatally stabbed to death. Dorman warned the police that Singh was stalking her, claiming the man sent her hundreds of texts and phone calls, as well as following her wherever she went. Singh also sent Dorman letters, one such read: ‘’fish can’t live without water, I can’t live without you’’.

It was in May 2008 that Dorman called the police and told them she was scared of Singh, whilst Dorman’s mother also revealed how Singh sent her daughter thirty texts a day, begging to get in contact with her. Singh followed Dorman out of a Thai restaurant and fatally stabbed her.
