A banned driver who reached speeds of 136mph while under the influence of multiple drugs has been sentenced to 12 years and nine months in prison.. Kane Farragher, 24, caused the death of his passenger, Taylor Jenkins, after driving the wrong way down a dual carriageway and colliding with a taxi near Sunderland..

Meanwhile, emergency services in Glasgow are investigating a horrific daylight assault.. A 77-year-old man was left seriously injured following a machete attack on Auckland Wynd.. Captured on video, the disturbing footage shows the victim being slashed by a knifeman moments after being stabbed inside his own vehicle.
In a separate incident, an online influencer has been charged following an alleged altercation at a homeless shelter.. The individual reportedly sought entry to the Glasgow facility to film promotional content but became aggressive toward staff after being asked to leave.. Police have since arrested and charged a 49-year-old man in connection with the disturbance.
Historical crimes continue to surface as well, with new evidence presented to the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry.. A witness has claimed that former Bay City Rollers manager Tam Paton was deeply entrenched in a child abuse ring during the 1980s.. The inquiry continues to piece together the systemic exploitation that occurred at parties hosted by the late music manager.
Additionally, court proceedings have begun for Amelia Connolly, a 23-year-old campaigner who pleaded guilty to possessing AI-generated child abuse imagery. Connolly is currently being held at a male prison facility while awaiting sentencing, as legal teams work to process the details of the case.
