Qld: Butcher carves up own daughter

By Suzanne Klotz

BRISBANE, Nov 2 AAP - A butcher was sentenced to life in prison today after being convicted
of carving up his own newborn baby daughter to cover up an extramarital affair.

Raymond Akhtar Ali, 48, was found guilty in the Supreme Court of the murder of Chahleen
Amy Ali in early September 1998 at Logan Village on Brisbane's southern outskirts.

The jury was told that Ali, a Muslim butcher, cut the baby in half and expertly removed
her sexual organs in the same way he did with female goats.

Four goats were slain on behalf of the prosecution in a bid to prove that only Ali
could have carved up the baby in such an expert fashion.

Prosecutor Paul Rutledge during the sentencing hearing described the murder
as "evil".

"The baby was carved up in the most obscene of fashions soon after birth. The motive
was purely selfish, purely lust," Mr Rutledge said.

Justice Margaret Wilson sentenced Ali to mandatory life imprisonment.

"You sacrificed your own newborn child on the altar of your own self interest," Justice
Wilson said.

"The mutilation of the child's body was an act of unspeakable brutality."

The jury also found Ali guilty of interfering with a body and concealing a birth.

Ali constantly interrupted the sentencing hearing, protesting his innocence and blaming
the baby's mother Amanda Leanne Blackwell.

Blackwell, 22, of Howard, north of Brisbane, was found guilty of the lesser charge
of manslaughter, and concealing a birth.

Her sentencing hearing has been adjourned for a psychiatric pre-sentence report and
she was remanded in custody after making an unsuccessful bail application.

Both Ali and Blackwell had pleaded not guilty to murde
r and the lesser charges.

The baby's remains were discovered on the property next to Ali's on September 9, 1998
after some of them were dug up by dogs.

DNA testing proved the baby belonged to Ali and Amanda Blackwell.

The pair had been having an affair, with Blackwell living in the same house as Ali,
his wife Bronwyn and their four-year-old son.

Blackwell was engaged to Ali's nephew, who lived in Fiji.

The crown case was that no preparations had been made for the baby's birth and the
pair had decided it had to die.

It was alleged that Ali took the baby after birth and bashed, kicked or stomped on
it and then expertly dissected it before burying it on his property.

The baby's body was discovered after dogs dug it up and spread some of the remains
onto the driveway of the neighbouring property.

Ali was a meat wholesaler who worked from home as well as operating Halal butcheries
supplying to Muslim customers in Brisbane.

At his
Logan Village acreage property Ali had a butcher's room attached to the house
which was fitted out with meat processing equipment and stainless steel benches.

Ali, who did not give or call evidence, constantly interrupted the sentencing hearing
with claims that he had been framed.

"I'll prove it in a higher court. I've been judged on my colour and my religion.

"She did it, but she's a white woman," he said referring to Blackwell.

WA: Don't camp or pick up hikers, motorists warned after bashing

By Selina Day

PERTH, Oct 21 AAP - Motorists travelling through Western Australia's mid-north have
been warned to be on their guard after the violent roadside bashing of two fishermen as
they slept in their car.

Police helicopters and armed officers at roadblocks between Carnarvon and Geraldton
have failed to find a man and woman believed responsible for the bashing early Saturday.

The commercial fishermen had been travelling south from Carnarvon when they decided
to pull over for a sleep at a truck bay on the main highway, 10km north of the Overlander
roadhouse, about 4.30am (WST) on Saturday.

They were woken about 6am by the sound of breaking glass, to see a man smashing
the
driver's window with a crowbar.

The stunned fishermen managed to grapple the crowbar off the man, but not before one
of the fishermen had been hit about the upper body.

During the struggle, the assailant pointed a semi-automatic handgun at the man's head
before firing a shot into the air. Police said the gun had telescopic sights.

The man was with a woman, who was armed with a knife with a 12cm blade.

After the assailants fled into the bush, the fishermen, aged 25 and 28, flagged down a truck.

They were taken to Carnarvon Hospital with bruises and gashes, Gascoyne district inspector
Ken Nicolson (Nicolson) said.

"The 28-year-old was hit around the upper body with the crowbar and he suffered some
fairly deep lacerations to his head and back and arms," Insp Nicolson said.

Police found a campfire a short distance away from the scene of the roadside incident.

But officers have failed to find the man and woman, who are described as being
of Middle
Eastern appearance.

The couple is believed to be driving a white Toyota Landcruiser, which has a missing
right-hand mirror.

Insp Nicolson said the man and woman may have been in the area for several days.

"We do have some other information from the public that the people matching their description
were seen along that stretch of the highway trying to flag a truck down on Thursday evening,"

he said.

Insp Nicolson today warned all motorists travelling through WA's Gascoyne and Mid West
regions to be vigilant and not to camp in isolated areas or to pick up hitchhikers.

Vic: Rapist sentenced to eight years

By Heather Gallagher

MELBOURNE, Aug 22 AAP - A Melbourne man who imprisoned a woman in his flat and raped
her repeatedly over a nine hour period was today sentenced to more than eight years' jail.

Osoble Ali, formerly of Kensington in Melbourne's inner-west, was sentenced in the
County Court to a maximum of eight years and one month imprisonment on four convictions
of vaginal rape, three of anal rape and one of false imprisonment.

He will be eligible for parole in five years and four months.

Judge Anthony Duckett said the law regarded Ali as "a serious sexual offender" and
the sentence was designed to "protect the community from the danger of you".

"The victim will be psychologically scarred by your attack for some time to come," h
e said.

The court heard that Ali had left his Kensington housing commission flat at 2am on
August 2, 2000 and withdrew money from an ATM.

Ali went drinking at the Carlton Club Hotel in the city where he approached the woman
who was with a group of friends.

She initially rejected Ali's advances but later had breakfast with him and then accompanied
him back to his flat where they planned to smoke a joint.

On the way to the flat Ali purchased beer, a bottle of Jim Beam whisky and a packet
of cigarettes.

Judge Duckett said Ali believed buying these goods "indebted" the victim to him.

The pair sat on the floor of the flat and Ali drank beer and whisky, while the victim
drank from a water bottle.

Judge Duckett said Ali then began to "hover around her" trying to kiss her, before
pushing her into the wall and taking her pants off.

Ali raped the victim vaginally for what "felt to me like 10 minutes at a time" and
then anally raped her.


He later allowed the victim to go to the toilet but made her leave the door open to
humiliate her. She was trapped at Ali's flat from 8am until 5pm.

Judge Duckett said he rejected the argument that Ali, who argued the victim consented,
had "misread the cues".

"Her cues to you were the total rejection of your sexual advances," he said.

"Despite her distress and requests to be released you continued to humiliate, sexually
abuse and restrain her."

He said the victim had lost her self-respect, had stopped her studies and had become
suicidal following the attack.

NSW: Tailor stabber convicted of murder

A tailor who stabbed his lover to death on what was to have been the last night of
their affair has been convicted of murder.

ALI KHALOUF and REBECCA DIAB went to a suburban hotel room for one last night before
ending their relationship and returning to their respective families.

But the meeting ended with KHALOUF killing Mrs DIAB by repeatedly stabbing her in the
throat, neck, head and chest.

It took the New South Wales Supreme Court jury a day to convict KHALOUF, 48, for the
murder of Mrs DIAB, 46, at Bass Hill, in Sydney's west, on February 18 last year.

He had pleaded guilty to manslaughter but not guilty to murder, claiming he was provoked
into it by Mrs DIAB.

A date has yet to be set f
or sentencing.

NSW: Drug dealer found guilty of murder =2

What they were not told was Kalache had been tried for murder before, that time for
stabbing a champion water skier to death.

In that case, Emad Sleiman was jailed for at least 16 years for Jason Burton's murder
outside the General Bourke Hotel at Parramatta where he had been celebrating his 25th
birthday May 18, 1997.

However the judge directed that jury to return a not guilty verdict for his co-accused
Kalache because there was not enough evidence to prove intent.

Crown Prosecutor Margaret Cunneen told the NSW Supreme Court in this trial that police
had monitored Kalache's mobile phone six days after the killing when he had fled to Melbourne.

In one taped conversation played to the jury, a wo
man named only as Elena asked why he did "it".

Kalache replied: " ... I had to do it, would you rather me like this now or six feet under?

"The hustler had to do what he had to do."

In a second taped discussion, he said "don't underestimate the gronk", referring to
Chehade, which the Crown explained was a drug term for a lowly drug worker.

Ms Cunneen told the court Kalache was heard in another call discussing plans to go
to Lebanon with Elena who asks whether she can wear shorts there.

Kalache was arrested on July 13 after police followed Olivia Briffa, who was heard
on the phone taps, from Sydney to Melbourne, the jury heard.

While giving evidence, one of the victim's brothers, 16-year-old Mohamed, screamed
abuse at defence barrister Bruce Stratton, QC, and Kalache, accusing the latter of laughing.

Mohamed Chehade told the court that on the orders of Wassim, the family drove to Mona
Park, Auburn at around 6.30pm to pick up Kalache.

Afte
r initially asking Wassim to go for a walk, one of the men with Kalache, Mustapha
Abbas, started punching the older brother, before Kalache took out a gun and shot him
five times through the window, Mohamed said.

When asked to explain details of the shooting in cross-examination by Mr Stratton,
Mohamed stood and shouted: "Were you in the car that day were you? You don't know nothing.

Mate, that's my brother that died."

Later, ignoring an order from Justice John Dowd to refrain from "outbursts", he screamed
at the accused: "You're laughing, you're laughing. Mate, you think it's funny? It's a
death mate, it's not joking around."

Justice Dowd ordered Kalache to face a sentencing hearing on March 28.

WA: Backpacker to aid hunt for Perth attackers

By Selina Day

PERTH, Oct 10 AAP - A German backpacker who was knocked unconscious and sexually assaulted
by two men will remain in Perth to help police catch her assailants.

The 26-year-old woman, who had been in Perth for just a week, was walking alone in
the city on Sunday night when a man jumped from a car and grabbed her by the throat.

Despite her struggles, she was dragged into the vehicle.

Her attacker and another man drove her to a secluded spot in Kings Park, overlooking
Perth, where the woman said she was punched in the head and knocked out.

When she came to, she realised she had been sexually assaulted, Detective Constable
Simone van der Sluys said.

The men, who the woman
said spoke in broken English, dropped her off in the city a
short time later and she managed to walk back to her hostel, where a friend called police.

The victim was left bruised and bleeding as a result of her 40-minute ordeal, and was
treated at Royal Perth Hospital.

Police believe the crime was opportunistic, and that the woman may have been randomly chosen.

Const van der Sluys today warned women in Perth to take care outdoors after dark.

She said the victim of Sunday's attack spoke little English, but she had given a good
description of the driver of the car, which was a white four-door sedan, possibly a Hyundai.

He was of North African or Middle Eastern appearance, aged about 30, and had dark hair.

The second man was in his 20s.

Both spoke broken English and had strong foreign accents.

Police would not reveal exactly where the woman was from, in line with the victim's wishes.

She would stay in Perth a while longer to help police wi
th their investigation, Const
van der Sluys said.

A man has been jailed for stomping on an unconscious pub patron's face.
Brisbane District Court Judge Michael Forde today sentenced Taumafai Aimahala Lafu to four years jail for the "culpable and cowardly" offence.

The court was told Lafu consumed about 20 strong drinks prior to the attack at the Wynnum West Tavern, in Brisbane's east, on August 4 last year.

Lafu, a New Zealander who had been in Australia for three months at the time, attacked 31-year-old David Hansen as he lay on the pub's floor.

The court heard Mr Hansen had been knocked unconscious by one of Lafu's friends.

The fight erupted after Lafu's friend taunted Mr Hansen when he was being ejected from the pub for drunkenness.

After Mr Hansen was knocked out, Lafu approached him,
raised his leg and stomped on his face at least once.

Mr Hansen suffered a closed head injury and facial fractures.

The attack, captured on the hotel's security system, permanently affected his sense of taste and smell.

The court heard Lafu continually denied attacking Mr Hansen and only entered a plea of guilty to grievous bodily harm just before the matter was to go to trial.

Lafu's sentence will be suspended after 16 months, after which he will return to New Zealand.

He has already served 402 days in pre-sentence custody.
