Stabbing of bishop in Oz

-

Commission­er Webb said: “The videos speak for themselves, don’t they?

“It’s obvious to me, it’s obvious to detectives... that the offender focused on women and avoided the men.”

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said “the gender breakdown is, of course, concerning”.

The revelation came as more harrowing details emerged of the murders on Saturday afternoon.

Damien Guerot was hailed as a hero after trying to stop the killer. A video of Mr Guerot shows him wielding a plastic pole as he confronts Cauchi on an escalator.

AUSTRALIA was yesterday rocked by a second multiple stabbing incident.

Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel was preaching at Christ The Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley when he was attacked by a man wearing a dark hoodie.

Live video on the church’s YouTube page showed the bishop look up as the attacker struck. It comes days after a stabbing spree a few miles away, in which six people were killed.

He, however, prevented attorneys from quizzing the model (53) on salacious details of the alleged relationsh­ip while banning any reference to his wife, Melania, being pregnant during the alleged tryst.

Yesterday, dozens of potential jurors from a pool of 500 began to be called into the Manhattan courtroom to start the process of finding 12 jurors plus six alternates.

Payments

They will be tasked with hearing the case that accuses Trump of falsifying business records as part of a scheme to bury stories that he feared could hurt his 2016 campaign.

Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts that arose from an alleged effort to keep salacious - and, he says, bogus - stories about his sex life from emerging during his 2016 campaign.

The charges centre on $130,000 (€122,365) in payments that Trump’s company made to his then-lawyer, Michael Cohen.

He had paid that sum on Trump’s behalf to keep porn actor Stormy Daniels from going public a month before the election, with her claims of a sexual encounter with the married mogul a decade earlier.

The case will also hear about McDougal’s payment made by the National Enquirer to prevent her from telling her story.
