An Australian teenager received a 14-year jail term for the manslaughter of a British woman during a home invasion on Boxing Day.

Emma Lovell, 41, was stabbed by a 17-year-old boy in the Australian state of Queensland in 2022.

The teen pleaded guilty to several charges including murder and hateful act with intent, according to ABC News.

The Australian Supreme Court was informed that the now 19-year-old defendant was accompanied by another teenager during the incident. The companion also faces charges but has not yet entered a plea.

Justice Tom Sullivan told the court, “It is correct to describe the offence in this case as atrocious and one which would create a sense of outrage in the general community. The Lovells were ordinary citizens enjoying their family life in their home where they were entitled to feel safe."

"What occurred … violated that entirely."

He further said, “You killed Mrs Lovell, you thereby exposed Mr Lovell and his two daughters and others to the trauma of the aftermath of that violence."

The judge ruled that teenager serve a minimum of nine years and nine months in prison before being eligible for parole.

After the verdict, Widower Lee Lovell said he did not feel like justice had been served.

He told reporters, “10 years in jail is more than I thought it was going to be. I suppose it was good to get 14 years, but it will never be enough. It's never going to bring Emma back."

The tragic death of Mrs Lovell triggered widespread condemnation in Queensland. It was one of several high-profile crimes that likely contributed to the state's stricter youth crime laws introduced in 2023.

Notably, these laws now make breaching bail conditions a criminal offense for minors in Queensland.

Children as young as 15 can also be fitted with GPS trackers, and the courts now have the authority to declare youths as serious repeat offenders in certain circumstances.

Teenager jailed for 14 years for manslaughter in Queensland

A former US Marine who allegedly killed an unruly passenger by putting him in a chokehold on the New York City subway has been taken into police custody on Friday. He&nbsp;is expected to be arraigned over manslaughter charges said the Manhattan district attorney on Thursday (May 11).&nbsp;

Reuters reports that&nbsp;Daniel Penny, a 24-year-old US Marine Corps veteran, surrendered to the&nbsp;police at the 5th Precinct in southeastern Manhattan on Friday. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Thursday said that Penny will&nbsp;be arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court on a count of second-degree manslaughter.

This comes after Manhattan prosecutors said that they will bring criminal charges against the accused who faces a charge of second-degree manslaughter, which could lead to a jail term of up to 15 years.&nbsp;

“We can confirm that Daniel Penny will be arrested on a charge of manslaughter in the second degree. We cannot provide any additional information until he has been arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court, which we expect to take place tomorrow (May 12),” a spokesperson for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, said in a statement.&nbsp;

Jordan Neely’s death

A now-viral video shows Penny putting 30-year-old Jordan Neely in a chokehold and pinning him to the floor of an F train in Manhattan, nearly two weeks earlier. The death of Jordan Neely, also known as a Michael Jackson impersonator who often performed on the train, has sparked outrage and protests calling for the arrest of the alleged perpetrator.

According to witnesses, the serviceman, who is White, allegedly restrained Neely after the latter was complaining loudly about being hungry and saying he was ready to die. Subsequently, Penny came up behind him and gripped him around the neck until he appeared to stop moving. Neely was later declared dead.&nbsp;

According to the medical examiner, Neely died from compression of the neck. Furthermore, a freelance journalist who witnessed the incident said Neely, who is Black, had been screaming and begging for money but had not physically attacked anyone.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, some people have said that the incident amounted to a “lynching” and an example of “white vigilantism” against people of colour. Penny’s lawyers said he did not mean to kill Neely and that their client, along with two other riders who helped restrain the 30-year-old, had acted in self-defence.

“Daniel never intended to harm Mr Neely and could not have foreseen his untimely death,” said Penny’s lawyers, Steven Raiser and Thomas Kenniff, in a statement. It also alleged that Neely had aggressively threatened passengers riding in the subway car. 
 
Meanwhile, an attorney for Neely’s family in a statement said that Penny's actions on the train and his words show that “he needs to be in prison,” reported Reuters.&nbsp;

Former US Marine Daniel Penny whose chokehold killed Jordan Neely surrenders, to face manslaughter charges

At least eight people were mauled to death in Brownsville, Texas, on Sunday after an SUV ploughed into a group of people, at a bus stop near a homeless shelter. The man accused and later identified has been charged with eight counts of manslaughter, said the local police chief on Monday (May 8). This comes as the investigators are now trying to determine if the crash was intentional.&nbsp;

The man, later identified as 34-year-old, George Alvarez, seemingly lost control after he ran a red light on early Sunday and ploughed into a crowd of mostly Venezuelans outside a migrant centre, said the Brownsville Police Chief Felix Sauceda said at a press conference, on Monday. The vehicle hit 18 people after which it flipped on its side.&nbsp;

According to the police chief, six people died on the scene and 12 people were critically injured, it was not until later that officials confirmed that the death toll had risen to eight. The driver attempted to flee the scene after impact but was held down by several bystanders, he added. Alvarez has now been charged with eight counts of manslaughter and 10 counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, said Sauceda.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, the officials are also awaiting toxicology reports on Alvarez to see if the accused was intoxicated at the time of the incident. The police chief also said that there was no motive that he could discuss, but that the authorities have not ruled out the possibility that the crash was intentional. Alvarez has an extensive criminal history, said the police chief and was being held on a bail set at $3.6 million.&nbsp;

“George Alvarez is a Brownsville local with an extensive rap sheet,” said Sauceda, while displaying a long list of previous charges against the accused which included assault, burglary and driving while intoxicated.&nbsp;

“It has been a very tiresome process but we are deeply committed to doing and accomplishing,” said Sauceda, adding that the police department is also working with the Venezuelan government and other embassies. This also comes after the Venezuelan government, in a statement on Monday, called for an investigation into whether it was a crime of hate and xenophobia.&nbsp;

According to Sister Norma Pimentel, executive director of Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley, the victims were struck by the vehicle as they were waiting for the bus to return to downtown Brownsville after spending the night at the overnight shelter, reported the Associated Press. Shelter’s director, Victor Maldonado, said most of the victims were Venezuelan men.&nbsp;

US: Texas driver charged with manslaughter after deadly crash in Brownsville

A 17-year-old girl from Bronx, New York City, has been charged for murder and manslaughter for throwing her newborn son out a fifth-floor window, police said.

The teenager, whose name was not released because she is younger than 18, showed up at Lincoln Hospital on October 24, 2021, admitting that she gave birth in her apartment on East 158th Street apartment.

Hospital staff called 911, and police raced to her home. She told the officers that she had given birth inside of her apartment.

Authorities searched the area and found the infant unconscious and unresponsive inside a flowerbed, cops said.&nbsp;

An investigation further revealed that the mother had tossed the baby boy out the fifth-floor window. The newborn landed in the flowerbed in front of the building, according to police.

In April, the police deemed the death a homicide and not stillbirth in April.

Following the completion of the probe, the young mother was arrested on Thursday and charged with murder and manslaughter. She has been taken into custody.

The crime rate in New York City has been witnessing an upward trend over the past decade.

As of April 2022, the city recorded a 42.7 per cent increase in major reported crimes compared to the same period in 2021, according to the NYPD statistics.

Among the reported crimes, there has been a 46.7 per cent rise in robberies, a 54 per cent spike in grand larceny incidents and a 14.9 per cent jump in rapes.

Murder rates have also increased by 9.2 per cent over the last two years.

17-year-old mother arrested for throwing one-day-old baby out of fifth floor window

On Thursday, a former United States police officer was found guilty of manslaughter for fatally shooting a young African-American during a traffic stop, claiming that she mistook her weapon for a Taser.

Kim Potter, 49, was found guilty of first-degree and second-degree manslaughter for killing 20-year-old Daunte Wright in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, earlier this year in April.

It took place during the trial of white policeman Derek Chauvin, who kneeled on the neck of Black man George Floyd for around nine minutes in May 2020, asphyxiating him.

Nationwide protests against police brutality and racism were sparked by Floyd's death.&nbsp;

Potter is now facing up to 15 years in prison on the first charge and 10 years on the second charge, and her sentencing is expected to take place in February.

While the judge read out the guilty verdicts in court, she looked down and closed her eyes briefly, but otherwise did not react.

"Her remorse and her regret for the incident is overwhelming. She's not a danger to the public at all," Paul Engh, Potter's lawyer, said as he asked Chu to release her on bail pending sentencing.

Potter, however, will remain in jail until her sentence is handed down.&nbsp;

In a statement, Wright's family expressed relief that "some measure of accountability" had been established for "the senseless death of their son, brother, father, and friend."

"From the unnecessary and overreaching tragic traffic stop to the shooting that took his life, that day will remain a traumatic one for this family and yet another example for America of why we desperately need change in policing," they said.

At a press conference, Wright's mother, Katie Wright, said she felt "every emotion you can imagine" as the verdict was read. Outside the court, supporters danced and played music after the verdict was announced.

Potter had pleaded not guilty and said the shooting was an accident, claiming that she had grabbed her firearm instead of her Taser stun gun.

During her emotional testimony, she described how a traffic stop that was supposed to be routine turned into "chaotic."

"I remember yelling 'Taser Taser Taser.' And nothing happens, then he told me I shot him," Potter said, bursting into tears.

The moments following were largely blank, she said.&nbsp;

"They have an ambulance for me and I don't know why. And then I went, then I was at the station. I don't remember a lot of things afterwards," she said.&nbsp;

Following Wright's death, protests and unrest erupted in Brooklyn Center for several nights before Potter's arrest quelled tensions.

Daunte Wright trial: White cop found guilty on manslaughter charges

After the horrifying murder of Arthur Labinjo-Huges, social workers have been urged to be more cautious and not be fooled by ‘manipulative and deceitful’ parents.<o:p></o:p>

This warning comes a little after six-year-old Arthur from Solihull, West Midlands was starved, poisoned, tortured and beaten to death by his father and stepmother.<o:p></o:p>

Arthur was found dead just two months after the social workers handling his case had declared that they had found no evidence that the little boy had any safety concerns. After the social workers okay-ed his safety, the little boy was beaten to death in June 2020.

It was found that he had suffered at least 130 injuries, and additional torture and trauma. Arthur’s father, 29-year-old Thomas Hughes, has now been charged with manslaughter and sentenced to 21 years of jail. Arthur’s stepmother, Emma Tustin, has been found guilty of murder and has been sentenced 29 years of imprisonment.<o:p></o:p>

Arthur’s case has brought to light the fact that many such vulnerable children slip away from the eyes of social workers and thus face horrible experiences.<o:p></o:p>

"Very vulnerable children have continued to slip from view, and for anyone who looks at the serious case reviews, or hears about them … after a child’s death, you will see the same things coming up," Anne Longfield, now chair of the Commission on Young Lives said. "Time and time again, missed opportunities, lack of coordination, lack of data sharing, the things that professionals need to have at hand to be able to protect these children, still aren’t in place. But whilst there is learning from the serious case reviews, it’s not enough to change what happens to protect these children."<o:p></o:p>

Arthur’s case became worse due to the coronavirus pandemic, in which the little boy was not enrolled for any school which was making it easier for his parents to hide all the pain they were inflicting upon him.<o:p></o:p>

His death has exposed the flaws in the approach of the social service, which has led to several children suffering from the hands of their parents, step-parents or caretakers.
