I was reminded of the above quote this morning and subsequently a poster my brother had on his bedroom wall, it read-
I remember the poster making my father very very angry 🙂
What reminded me you ask?
“Three, six, nine
The goose drank wine
The monkey chewed tobacco on the streetcar line
The line broke, the monkey got choked
And they all went to heaven in a little row boat
clap hands”…etc
Anybody heard from Max lately?
The monkey is not considered a flight risk, we’ll wait for the British justice system to run it’s course.
I note that the judge presiding over the Dewani extradition application is Senior District Judge Howard Riddle (who also presided the Assenge application), Riddle is reported as saying: ‘Either Mr Dewani over a period of time plotted the murder of his wife or he is one of the tragic victims of this incident.’
Judge Riddle added ‘It is clear there is evidence that has been put before me and on the face of it, and I put it no higher than that, evidence on which a trial could evidently proceed.’ (Mail)
The Telegraph report that ‘Dewani withdrew some £1,000 in cash in the days before the murder, including £800 on the eve of the shooting.’
And now The Sun claim ‘HONEYMOON murder suspect Shrien Dewani was seen on CCTV paying cash to the cabbie who claims the millionaire Briton arranged the killing of his bride. Footage from a camera at a posh Cape Town restaurant recorded a private meeting between the care home tycoon and driver Zola Tongo after wife Anni’s death.’
The bails conditions apparently;
£250,000 surety
Surrender passport
10am – 2pm curfew
Agree to be tagged. Continue reading “Honeymoon murder update”
£1300, that’s what our Times Newspaper report the driver (Tongo) admitted in court today is what the ‘husband’ paid for the murder of his wife!
The DT report that Tongo got 18 years and will testify against the 2 co-accused (the ‘hitmen’.)
The Daily Mail have a similar report but as is the case with the DT we can’t comment for ‘legal reasons’
This Max Clifford must have a lot of connections, every time I try and post something on this case on MyT it’s quickly deleted.
Clifford is reported as saying “We were warned to expect what has happened today because our South African lawyers said this is often how cases develop there.”
Well I’d like some examples, I can’t recall a single case with circumstances remotely similar to this!
e-news (an independent news service here) have just reported that our lot have issued an extradition warrant for the husband, good.
December 2004
Was it really that long ago? Let me explain…
It would have been in the November that the principal of Quest School phoned to say that the local sports club that is (almost) adjacent to the school had been asked to host The Barmy Army’s charity event and wanted to donate the proceeds to us!
Remarkable.
Prior to the first test on any overseas tour The Barmy Army contact a local cricket club and hold a charity event, normally a limited overs match between their members and a ‘celebrity’ local team, followed by an auction of tickets, various memorabilia and a ‘fines’ session.
I made contact with Dave, the club captain and volunteered any help if he needed, not necessary he said but if I could arrange for a couple of children to come along, fine.
The event was planned for the 16th December, the day before the 1st test starting at St Georges Park and as luck would have it a public holiday!
Well, we arranged for a couple of extra items for the auction (a couple of cellphones, helicopter flip, game drive, the sort of things that a touring cricket supporter could use) and arranged a school picnic with all the children in their school tracksuits.
So, you want to visit Southern Africa?
How about Namibia?
What about the dunes? They are well worth the trip.
Do me a favour, don’t hire a red Landrover and whatever you do make sure you don’t have Bridgestone tyres
A few years ago I was asked to create a ‘video’ of the children for a fundraiser, I had no idea how to go about it, so I got a mate involved, here’s what he produced.
He thought that it would be a 20 minute production, took him a full day!
I’ll receive 20 or 30 of these over the next 2 weeks or so, we meet almost every request, we do ask the older children to give Santa a clue as to where we might find them but all’s well that ends well!
