Former British Independent Party member seduces his son's girlfriend and killes his wife

What was he thinking? This is totally immoral! 

Former British Independent Party (UKIP) member and former Royal Navy Admiral, Stephen Searle called the police on December 30 last year, "Hello...I just killed my wife."

When the police arrived at his apartment, they found that his wife Anne Searle, 62, had been strangled. What shocked the police not only the murder, but it disclosed Searle had cheated on wife with his son's girlfriend by sending half-naked photos and messages close to the bones to seduce his son Gary Searle's girlfriend, Anastasia Pomiateeva.

Although Anastasia and Gary did not marry, they loved each other and had their own child. However, Searle had affection for his daughter-in-law.

In last March, Searle invited Anastasia to his office using chatting and drinking coffee as an excuse when he was still a member of Independent Party. The conversation was abnormal while the 64-year-old said he had not had sex for more than six years, and asked Anastasia directly if she could help him satisfy his desire. Then Anastasia was shocked to leave immediately.

However, Searle did not give up. He began to send semi-naked photos and a variety of flirty messages to Anastasia. After a month, the timid woman agreed with his request.

In June last year, Searle's wife, Anne began to felt something wrong because she often couldn't contact her husband and her son's girlfriend at the same time. She felt the two seemed to have some secrets.

Finally, she caught her husband and her son's girlfriend in a hotel room. Then Anastasia confessed to Gary, "Your father is making every effort to threaten me. I have to obey him because I have no choices."

Gary forgave her girlfriend for loving her so much, saying "this kind of trauma makes us closer to each other. But he refused to forgive his father. "I really can’t bear the man I had been long adored would do such things to me," Gary said.

On the other hand, Anne, who has been married to Searle for 45 years, had thought about divorce. However, considering her age, she chose to forgive him, but the relationship between the two didn’t improve due to her forgiveness.

Searle has always hated his wife and thought that She ruined his "plan". Even though Anne prepared a hearty Christmas feast, he poured it directly into the trash, totally breaking Anna' heart.

On the day of the incident, the couple quarreled again. Although he claimed that his wife had first smashed him with a knife and he wrongly killed her for self-defense, the forensic doctor and the police investigated and overturned his lies.

The court sentenced him to life imprisonment for deliberate conviction and not allowed to be released on parole within 14 years.

The judge sentenced: "You took away your child's beloved mother, took away your grandson's grandmother, and took away the rest of Anne's years." Based on Searle's age, and recently diagnosed with prostate cancer, the judge said: "Most of the rest of your life, or all of it, will be spent in the prison."

BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — A humanitarian crisis is worsening in northeastern Mali where armed groups linked to Islamic State have besieged major towns leaving residents including some 80,000 children vulnerable to malnutrition, locals and an aid group warned Wednesday.

The town of Ménaka has been under siege for four months, driving up the prices of food. Other essential goods like medication are increasingly hard to find, residents and aid groups say.

“The humanitarian situation is catastrophic, with displaced people going from house to house asking for food for their families. Children are threatened with starvation,” Wani Ould Hamadi, deputy mayor of the town of Ménaka, told the Associated Press.

Mali, along with its neighbors Burkina Faso and Niger, has for over a decade battled an insurgency fought by armed groups, including some allied with al-Qaida and the Islamic State group. Following military coups in all three nations in recent years, the ruling juntas have expelled French forces and turned to Russia’s mercenary units for security assistance instead.

Col. Assimi Goita, who took charge in Mali after a second coup in 2021, promised to beat back the armed groups, but the United Nations and other analysts say the government has rapidly lost ground.

The aid group Save the Children said some 80,000 children were trapped inside the town of Ménaka facing malnutrition and disease, and many were unaccompanied having fled violence elsewhere..

“Children in Menaka are trapped in a living nightmare. Let us be clear: unless the blockade is lifted , starvation and disease will led to deaths,” Siaka Ouattara, the country director, said in a statement.

Ayouba Ag Nadroun, a man who fled to Ménaka to escape violence in other parts of the country said he was unable to provide for his extended family of some 15 members, including many women and children, and surviving on scarce handouts of aid. “I have no job, how can I help them?” he told the AP.

“The blockades subject villagers to violence, hunger and fear and have long been a tactic used by these jihadist groups to punish communities for their perceived support of the government,” said Sahel analyst Corinne Dufka adding that they had often succeeded in pressuring the communities to sign non-aggression accords with the groups.

Mali's leader, Goita, has promised to return the country to democracy in early 2024. But in September, the junta canceled elections scheduled for February 2024 indefinitely, citing the need for further technical preparations.

Last month, his ruling junta ordered all political activities to stop, and the following day ordered the media to stop reporting on political activities.

Mali's army said in a statement late Monday, April 29, 2024, that Huzeifa was killed by Malian state forces. The United States had announced a reward of up to $5 million reward for anyone providing information about him. Huzeifa was believed to have helped carry out an attack in 2017 on U.S. and Nigerien forces in Tongo Tongo, Niger, which led to the deaths of four Americans and four Nigerien soldiers. (AP Photo)
