2 men caught stealing flowers and stuffed toys' from Manchester terror memorial

 An angry dad captured the moment he confronted two men he accused of stealing flowers and stuffed toys from a memorial set-up in the wake of the Manchester terror attack .

Mark McNally, 43, was heading back from his local pub in Stalybridge, Greater Manchester, when he claims he saw the men take two bunches of flowers and a blue Smurf toy from the display.


When confronted, the men claimed in broken English they were actually putting flowers down on the display, not taking them - while one holds the toy.

Footage shows Mark angrily berating the duo, before telling them to return the flowers and then telling them to leave or he would 'knock the s*** out the pair of [them].

Mark, an engraver, said:

"Memorials are a mark of respect and that's widely understood.I was raging inside but luckily I kept it together well. I was so angry with it all.There had been a vigil at the sundial in the centre of town for the victims of the attack and people laid flowers, cards and teddies there.At first, I'd had a couple of pints and I sat down facing the road waiting for my bus.I wasn't sure what they were doing but they were acting a bit strange so that's when I started to film them.
"I saw one of the guys with flowers in his hands and originally I thought he was going to put them on the memorial but then I saw them walking away with them."Unfortunately, I didn't notice they had a stuffed toy as well when I was there.

Woman hides dead mother in freezer to collect her 10 years pension

A woman kept her dead mother hidden in a freezer for ten years so she could continue to claim an old age pension equivalent to £1700-a-month, prosecutors revealed today.

The 90-year-old’ corpse was found after detectives started investigating the alleged social security fraudster, who is 55 and cannot be named for legal reasons.


She was living in a detached house in the picturesque village of Horsarrieu, close to Pau, in South West France, with her mother’s remains at the end of the garden.

‘They were hidden in a freezer, and there had been no report of the mother’s death,’ said a prosecuting source in nearby Mont-de-Marsan, capital of the Landes department.
‘The freezer was not connected to the electricity supply going into the house. It was just a hiding place,’ the source added.

The suspect was first interviewed by gendarmes on Tuesday, and claimed that her mother had died seven years ago.

Investigators noticed, however, that there had been no medical fees claimed by the mother since 2007, suggesting that the time of death was more likely to be a decade ago.

The Mirror reports that all the mother’s benefits arrangements, including drawing an old age pension, continued as normal throughout that time.

At the time of death, the pair were living some 200 miles away, close to Toulouse, which means that the woman would have transported the corpse in secret when they moved to Horsarrieu in July 2016.

Police have evidence that the suspect had put her own picture on her mother’s driving licence – an offence that led to a search of the property. The corpse was found wrapped in a tarpaulin, with old clothes used to hide it.

An autopsy was due to be held on Wednesday to try to establish whether the mother had died of natural causes, or whether foul play was involved.

Hermes bag shatters auction record, sells for $380,000

A luxury Hermes handbag fetched a jaw-dropping $380,000, shattering the world auction record in Hong Kong on Wednesday, Christie's said.

The auction house didn't identify the buyer of the matte white "Himalaya" crocodile skin Hermes Birkin bag.



The handbag was produced in 2014 and has 18 karat gold buckles and strap loops encrusted with 205 diamonds.

It fetched 2.94 million Hong Kong dollars ($380,000), which Christie's says is a record for any handbag sold at auction. The price flew past the presale estimate of HK 1.5 million-2 million ($193,000-$258,000) during 10 to 15 minutes of intense bidding in the auction room and from phone and online buyers, Christie's spokeswoman Gigi Ho said.

The price surpasses the record set a year ago when Christie's auctioned a similar Birkin bag for $300,000. It had identical specifications but was produced in 2008.
