 Man brutalises his pregnant wife in Anambra  In another case of domestic violence, a pregnant woman was brutally beaten by her husband in Ichi, Ekwusigo Local Government Area of Anambra State. The mother of three identified as Chinelo Francis, from Ebonyi State, said trouble began when she requested money from her husband, Peter, to prepare food.  According to the young woman, she had already bought vegetable with the profit she made from her shop. Peter, also from Ebonyi, claimed he didn’t make money that day and took the children home.  He returned to her shop at around 8:00 PM and insisted she close up and come home with him.  She refused, explaining that the time was when she typically made most of her sales.  Later, she closed up her shop, went home at 9:30 PM, prepared the children for bed, and retired. The interviewer urged her to go straight to the point, asking when the assault occurred. The woman said it happened that night.  The attack left...

COURT ASKED TO EXTEND SENTENCE OF NICHOLAS PROSPER. (PHOTO).


 Court asked to extend sentence of Nicholas Prosper


The Court of Appeal has been asked to review the sentence of a teenager who killed three members of his family and planned a school shooting.


Nicholas Prosper, 19, has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 49 years for murdering his mother, brother and sister in Luton last year.


The bodies of Juliana Falcon, 48, Kyle Prosper, 16, and Giselle Prosper, 13, were found at their home in the Leabank Court tower block in September.


The government’s solicitor general has referred the case to appeal after multiple referrals including one from a Conservative MP who argued that Prosper should have received a whole life order instead, which would mean he would never be released from jail.


The Attorney General’s Office had received requests to reconsider Prosper’s sentence under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme.


In March, the Conservative shadow justice minister Kieran Mullan questioned why a whole life order was not imposed in a post on X and said he referred the case to the scheme.


An attorney general office’s spokesperson said: “I can confirm that the solicitor general has referred Nicholas Prosper’s sentence to the Court of Appeal.


“It will be argued that Prosper ought to have been given a whole life order. It is now for the court to decide whether to increase the sentence.”


Whole life orders are considered the harshest penalty available to courts since capital punishment was abolished.


The sentence can be considered in exceptional cases such as those where two or more people have been killed with a significant degree of pre-meditation, or where one child is killed with similar pre-planning.


Previously, an adult under the age of 21 could not be given a whole life order but this changed in 2022.


Offenders aged between 18 and 20 can now receive one when the seriousness of their crimes are “exceptionally high” even when compared to similar offences committed by those 21 and over.


If given a whole life order Prosper would become the youngest person to receive one.


Prosper used a shotgun and a knife in the attack that took place in his home on 13 September.
