UK’s Most Wanted Man Appears In Romanian Court

One of the UK’s “most wanted” suspects has appeared in court in Romania following his arrest two days ago.

Shane O’Brien, 31, who is wanted for questioning about the death of Josh Hanson in London in 2015, was arrested in Cluj-Napoca, Transylvania. He was remanded for 15 days at the town’s Court of Appeal on Sunday for legal processes to begin to bring him back to the UK, the Met said.

The National Crime Agency tweeted a video clip of him being arrested.

The NCA had worked with the Met in the hunt for Mr O’Brien. He was made the subject of a European arrest warrant after disappearing when Mr Hanson was attacked at the RE bar in Eastcote.

A red alert was issued by Interpol for information leading to his arrest and prosecution.

Mr Hanson, from Kingsbury, north-west London, was pronounced dead at the scene on 11 October 2015.

A post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as haemorrhage, inhalation of blood and an incised wound to the neck.

Whitehall Bunker Prepared To Deal With No-Deal Brexit

The Ministry of Defence has set up an operations room in a bunker at its main Whitehall building to deal with a potential no-deal Brexit.

The preparations are being run under the banner of Operation Redfold – although officials stress they are part of wider cross-government planning. An MoD spokesman said it was “always willing to support wider government planning for any scenario”.

Defence chiefs had previously said 3,500 troops were being readied.

BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Beale said the MoD was “stepping up a gear” with the new room “deep in the bowels” of its building. He said the room, which is already used for crisis management throughout the year, would be used to coordinate efforts in the event of a no-deal Brexit, although it was not yet clear what duties troops would undertake.

A draft European Council document says the UK could be offered a Brexit delay to 22 May on the condition MPs approve the withdrawal deal the prime minister has agreed with EU leaders. But the government has been preparing for a potential no-deal in the event Theresa May’s plans are rejected.

Community Patrol In North London Set Up By Parents

Parents are taking action against crime in Enfield by setting up community patrols in parts of the north London borough.

Volunteers say police services are stretched and they believe patrols are the only way to prevent young people from being targeted.

The group has told BBC London it gets enquires from across the capital from people interested in setting up their own similar scheme.

Bus Attack Children Saved By Classmate

One of the children caught up in an attack on a school bus in Italy is being hailed by his classmates for saving everyone on board.

The bus driver allegedly hijacked the vehicle and its 51 schoolchildren near Milan, then set it on fire.

Children interviewed by Italian media said 13-year-old Ramy Shehata hid his mobile phone when the driver confiscated them from other students. The police were then phoned. “He is our hero”, one classmate said.

The driver, named as 47-year-old Ousseynou Sy, allegedly told the children: “No-one will survive.”

Italy’s Ansa news agency reports that Ramy made the call while pretending to pray in Arabic – but was in fact issuing a warning to his father.

His father told Ansa that the family came from Egypt, and Ramy was born in 2005 in Italy – but has never been issued official citizenship documentation. “My son did his duty, it would be nice if he got Italian citizenship now,” he told the news agency. “We would love to stay in this country. When I met him yesterday I hugged him hard.”

Trial Continues Over Vicious Murder By Moped Gang

A teenager was chased and stabbed to death by a moped gang in a “terrifying and vicious attack”, a court heard.

Jason Isaacs was walking with friends to a house in Northolt, west London, when he was targeted by four people on two mopeds on 18 November 2017. The 18-year-old ran but became separated from his group and was stabbed in the back, arm and legs.

Joel Amade, of Ilford, and Kaleel Nyeila, of Greenford both 18, both deny murder at the Old Bailey.

Mr Isaacs collapsed in a nearby front garden and died in hospital three days later.

Prosecutor Tony Badenoch QC told jurors: “There can be no doubt that clearly Jason Isaacs was subjected to a terrifying and vicious attack and that his friends had to run for their lives from a number of others chasing while wielding knives. “Jason Isaacs was undoubtedly murdered. He was left stabbed and bleeding to death.”
