Seung-Hui Cho Virginia Tech Massacre Va. Tech Student Samanata Shrestha Murdered; Another Student Charged in Death, Police Say Victim was a senior from Vienna, Va. A Virginia Tech senior from Fairfax County has been identified as the victim in a Blacksburg murder case, authorities announced Tuesday. Another senior has been charged in her death, and a recent grad has been charged with accessory after the fact. The victim, Samanata Shrestha, was a senior from Vienna, Va. Authorities officially identified her Tuesday. Police have not provided details about the slaying, but said they began their investigation Sunday. Jessica Michelle Ewing, 22, is charged with murder in the case. Ewing is a senior who lives off-campus in Blacksburg. Keifer Kyle Brown -- who graduated from Virginia Tech last year -- is also in custody, and accused of helping to conceal the victim's dead body. He is charged with accessory after the fact. Shrestha was a biological science major, with minors in psychology and medicine and society, the university said Tuesday in a posting on its website. "Those who knew Samanata Shrestha... confirm her zest for school and love of Virginia Tech. One teacher described her as a 'faculty member's dream' because of her exceptional scholarship, love of learning, and 'she always had a smile'," President Charles Steger wrote in part in a letter to the Virginia Tech community. ..."That an inspiring young woman would lose her life to violent crime hurts beyond belief." The university provided a list of counseling services available for the community. The Virginia Tech community will remember Shrestha with a candlelight vigil Thursday evening. http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Samanta-Shrestha-Virginia-Tech-Student-Murdered-Another-Student-Charged-in-Death-244937401.html?_osource=outbrain_recirc=obinsite

It looks like something's going on with her right eye/eyebrow. His left eye looks occulted. Her eyes look strange and the placement is more pronounced in the desat image. I should look for updates and see if they give any clue as to what possessed her to kill that girl. Okay, here's a story about some unfortunate girl that shares the same name as this girl, different middle names, same initial 'M', from same school only this one has already graduated. Interesting story though. Here's one with more pictures of all three, Ewing, Shrestha, Brown, and a third man, Michael Heller, who was arrested and charged in the crimes, however I saw no mention of the Michael Heller other than in the headline. That webpage was kind of annoying because it kept wanting to veer off too far to the right and it would cut off a character or too. I suppose I could shrink the text down more but then I'd have to strain to read the small characters. ======================== Virginia Tech student accused in death had legal run-in involving animals in 2012
Posted: Sunday, February 23, 2014 12:00 am | Updated: 12:09 am, Mon Feb 24, 2014. BLACKSBURG The Virginia Tech senior accused of killing her classmate this month was charged in 2012 with keeping a collection of animals in the university’s underground steam tunnel network, which provides heating for buildings. Jessica Michelle Ewing, 22, had the charges — storing wildlife that is unlawful to sell and trespassing after being forbidden — dismissed after completing 50 hours of community service, according to court records. Ewing was arrested Feb. 10 and charged with one count of second-degree murder in relation to 21-year-old Samanata Shrestha’s death. Recent Tech graduates Keifer Kyle Brown, 23, and Michael Christian Heller, 23, are facing charges that they were accessories after the fact. In February 2012, Ewing claimed ownership of the wildlife found in the campus steam tunnel, Tech police Maj. Kevin Foust said Friday. The collection — which included two nonvenomous, constrictorlike snakes; a black widow spider; a tarantula; two unidentified lizards; a frog; a rabbit; three mice; and a cage of crickets — was found Feb. 2, 2012, by facilities workers doing routine maintenance near Saunders Hall. The animals were placed with people capable of caring for them. The steam tunnel network that winds beneath the campus is off-limits to the public because of safety concerns. Ewing was arrested Feb. 14, 2012, according to court records. She was given a deferred disposition after pleading not guilty, and the charges were dismissed May 24, 2012. Ewing’s lawyer, Anne Brinckman, wrote a letter dated May 17, 2012, to Montgomery County General District Court, requesting that the matter “be moved up on the administrative docket for dismissal so that Ms. Ewing can enter Marine boot camp.” It is not clear if Ewing ever entered boot camp, but Ewing and Brown were both members of the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets Regimental Band at some point, according to university records. Blacksburg police Lt. Nathan O’Dell said Friday that no one other than Ewing, Brown and Heller has been charged in the case. The three are scheduled to have court hearings April 17. http://www.timesdispatch.com/news/state-regional/virginia-tech-student-accused-in-death-had-legal-run-in/article_a8c08017-4eeb-5df1-87ba-b2af08eaf607.html |

Importing:
It boils down to tricks and hoodwinking. The time is long past for assuming trust, assuming that lawmakers have our best interests in mind, when in fact there is ample evidence that motives behind such measures are predatory. It's not okay! ==================================== Apologists for paedophilia: As the Mail exposes more links between senior Labour figures and a vile paedophile group, one man who was abused as a child asks them: why won't you admit you were wrong? ![]() Demetrious Panton suffered terrible abuse at a children's home in Islington in the late 1970s PUBLISHED: 21:18 EST, 21 February 2014 | UPDATED: 08:19 EST, 22 February 2014 The childhood of Demetrious Panton ended one night in July 1978, a few days before his 11th birthday. That was when a man called Bernie Bain, who ran a care home in North London where Panton lived, knocked on the door of his dormitory. ‘Hey, little fella — can’t you sleep again?’ whispered Bain. ‘Why don’t you come and watch telly in my room?’ Panton, now a 46-year-old successful lawyer who once advised John Prescott on race relations, will never forget how Bain, then 29, grabbed his tiny hand, pressed a finger to his lips to ensure that he kept quiet and led him to a dimly-lit bedroom, with beige soft furnishings, piles of filthy clothes on the floor and ashtrays overflowing with Marlboro cigarettes. He will never forget the studied nonchalance with which this man pulled back the duvet, patted his mattress and told him to join him in bed to keep warm while they watched a cowboy movie together on his black-and-white TV set. And, of course, Panton will never forget how Bain then slowly put an arm around his shoulder, stroked his hair and told him that he had a tummy ache. ‘He asked me to rub his tummy,’ Panton has recalled. ‘I started rubbing it, and he kept pushing me further down the bed.’ An appalling sexual assault ensued. Immediately afterwards, Bain told the child never to talk about the events that had taken place that night. ‘We have a secret,’ Demetrious remembers thinking. ‘He’ll get me; he’ll hurt me if I ever tell anyone.’ So began an appalling cycle of abuse. Within weeks, the assaults had escalated to rape. And they continued for more than a year. ‘He moved me into a bedroom of my own and would come in whenever he could,’ Panton has recalled. ‘I began to hate him.’ Demetrious Panton was just one of hundreds of vulnerable children who were systematically raped and sexually abused in care homes run by the London borough of Islington in the Seventies and Eighties. 'I thought: "He'll hurt me if I ever tell anyone' - Demetrious Panton He was targeted by a now notorious paedophile ring, whose members at some point ran every one of the council’s 12 care homes. For more than a decade, the group was able to prey on children with virtual impunity, convincing Labour-run Islington’s political elite that anyone who attempted to blow the whistle on their crimes was motivated by homophobia. Complaints were systematically brushed under the carpet by officials who appeared to give more weight to the so-called human rights of paedophiles than those of children. Though many of Bain’s co-workers were aware of the abuse, they turned a blind eye, Mr Panton says today. It wasn’t until he confided in his health worker in 1979 that any steps were taken to investigate. Even then, Bain was allowed to simply resign from the care home — without facing prosecution — and continue with his life. He told Islington Social Services that his sexual activity with the child was ‘consensual’, and they chose to believe him. Panton was never interviewed and the police were not contacted. Bain later moved to Morocco, where he was subsequently jailed for child pornography offences in the Nineties. He killed himself in Thailand in 2000. ![]() Demetrious Panton, pictured as a child, endured a year of horrific abuse at the hands of Bernie Bain, who ran the home Appallingly, Bain’s departure from the home was not the end of Demetrious Panton’s ordeal. Not long afterwards, Islington appointed another predatory paedophile to run the care home at 1 Elwood Street. His name was Martin Ashley Saville. And for six months from January 1981, he conducted a series of sexual assaults against Panton. This time police were called and Saville confessed to the abuse. But, he argued that the then 13-year-old Panton had led him on — and escaped with a three-month suspended prison sentence. Even after that second crime, Islington Council appears to have taken a disturbingly relaxed view of Panton’s ordeal. ‘In a letter to my dad, on my file, they wrote that I’d had a relationship with a man,’ Panton has recalled. ‘How can a 13-year-old have a “relationship” with a grown-up? Why didn’t they do anything?’ It would take more than 20 years for the scandal to be properly recognised and apologised for. Today, Mr Panton and the hundreds of other survivors (he does not like to call himself a ‘victim’) of the Islington scandal are rightly recognised as having suffered terrible injustice. There have been a string of public inquiries, and formal apologies, for the systematic abuse that took place in the borough’s care homes and the subsequent cover-ups. Many of those who were abused have received compensation payments. But there has been no proper police inquiry into several of the men involved. Mr Panton, an intelligent, highly-articulate man with an IQ of 137, is today a respected professional with a PhD in philosophy. But he continues to live under the shadow of abuse. He has never married, and for most of his adult life has struggled to form romantic relationships. And, with the clarity of a true survivor, he now knows exactly who to blame. For Mr Panton believes that the events that tarnished his childhood, and hurt so many young children in Islington, were the inevitable fall-out from a PR and lobbying campaign waged by a sinister organisation called the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE). Formed in the early Seventies and boasting almost 1,000 members at its height, it waged a long-running campaign for paedophiles to be seen as ‘child lovers’ and abolish the age of consent. It cynically allied itself to the gay rights movement to gain credibility in Left-wing political circles, arguing that paedophiles were an oppressed minority whose human rights were threatened by child protection laws. ![]() ![]() MP Jack Dromey (left), Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman (right) and former Cabinet minister Patricia Hewitt (below), ran the National Council for Civil Liberties ![]() PIE’s founder Peter Righton — a prominent social worker later prosecuted for importing child pornography from Holland — was, for example, put in charge of training courses on which council staff learned how to care for vulnerable children. Righton, who had a flat in the borough (as did PIE’s one-time key member, his friend Morris Fraser) once boasted: ‘Every Islington care home manager knows I like boys from 12.’ Under Islington Council’s then trendy equal opportunities rules, employees who declared themselves gay were exempted from intrusive background checks that were supposed to prevent paedophiles working with children. That explains how Michael Taylor, an Islington care home manager exposed in a 2000 court case as a PIE member, was put in charge of several homes in which abuse occurred. He was later jailed for four years for abusing vulnerable children. Today, no one knows exactly how many Islington officials actually belonged to PIE, and Mr Panton will never be able to establish whether his abusers, Bain and Saville, were among their number, since its membership lists have never been published. But he has little doubt that what he calls the ‘tentacles of the organisation PIE’ and the ‘extreme political succour to paedophilia’ from figures who later became senior Labour politicians lay behind the abuse he suffered. QUESTIONS THEY WON'T ANSWER The Mail has posed a series of vital questions that Harriet Harman, Particia Hewitt and Jack Dromey refuse to answer. They include: To Harman, Hewitt and Dromey: During your time with the National Council for Civil Liberties (NCCL), it gave significant support to the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE). Do you regret this support or feel inclined to apologise to the many victims who suffered appalling abuse at the hands of this vile organisation you helped legitimise? To Hewitt and Dromey: The NCCL granted formal ‘affiliate’ status to PIE. Why did you allow your organisation to be associated with an outfit that advocated the legalisation of paedophilia? PIE submitted a report to MPs claiming that ‘girls as young as four months can achieve orgasm’, and that four-year-old children can ‘communicate verbally their consent to sex’.Given these utterly repellent views, why did you let the organisation remain affiliated to your NCCL? The NCCL made a written submission to Parliament’s Criminal Law Commission, arguing: ‘Childhood sexual experiences, willingly engaged in, with an adult result in no identifiable damage.’ On what basis, scientific or otherwise, did you make this extraordinary claim? The submission also called for the crime of incest to be abolished, arguing that the suggestion that genetic damage may result from children born of incestuous unions ‘is in direct contradiction to the practices of successful animal breeders’. Do you still take this view? To Harriet Harman: The NCCL’s affiliation with PIE, its support for lowering (or even abolishing) the age of consent, and its demand for the legalisation of incest were all widely reported throughout the Seventies. Why, given these morally offensive views, did you then take a job as legal adviser to the NCCL? He says: ‘The culture which PIE articulated, and for which these politicians were standard-bearer, was certainly something I came across. ‘The view of PIE — that children can consent to sex, and that paedophiles have rights — was exactly what I encountered when I tried to complain. The tentacles of PIE’s philosophy had infiltrated the psyche of Islington’s senior managers and politicians.’ Although Harman, Hewitt and Dromey have refused to apologise for their links to the paedophile organisation, many victims’ rights organisations have called for them to do so for their ‘inexcusable’ support for the group. Demetrious Panton agrees, saying the trio ought to publicly ‘acknowledge their mistakes’. He says: ‘Of course I don’t hold these politicians individually responsible for the men who abused me. But I do believe they have a responsibility to reflect and make comment about their actions during that era.’ If Harman, Hewitt and Dromey fail to address the issue, Panton believes they have no moral justification to comment on any issue involving children. ‘There are serious credibility issues here,’ he says. Panton goes further — arguing that the NCCL’s support of paedophiles should be considered as morally reprehensible as that of U.S. politicians who opposed the cause of civil rights in the Sixties. ‘I’d be lying if I said I was waiting for Patricia Hewitt to say sorry to me. But I do feel that it would help bring a really shadowy part of British public life to a close.’ Bitter experience, though, has taught Mr Panton not to be too hopeful of a speedy response from those in authority. In 1985, when he was 18, he began writing letters to Islington Council seeking an explanation as to why he had been abused. At the time, the Council was run by Margaret Hodge. It took four years for Islington to respond. And even then, it insisted that correct procedures had been followed. ‘The barriers I came across when I tried to report what had happened to me was part of a culture where the rights of children were not taken seriously,’ he recalls. ‘It was a culture where the viewpoints of PIE on consent, and the rights of paedophiles, were given authority.’ The full scale of the Islington scandal didn’t emerge until 1992, when the London Evening Standard exposed the systematic abuse of children and the failure of Margaret Hodge and colleagues to acknowledge or address the matter. It prompted a major inquiry into the affair, which reported a string of failures by the council to prevent abuse. But even then, Mr Panton did not receive an adequate apology. Quite the reverse, in fact. In 2003, Hodge, who was by then Children’s Minister in the Blair government, learned that he was helping the BBC make a radio documentary about the affair. She wrote to the BBC’s Labour-supporting chairman, Gavyn Davies, calling Mr Panton an ‘extremely disturbed person’ and saying the programme should be scrapped. ![]() The letter from Margaret Hodge to Demetrious Panton Not surprisingly, Mr Panton sued. In November 2003, Ms Hodge agreed to issue a formal apology, pay his legal costs, and contribute £10,000 to a charity of his choice. By then, it was more than 25 years since the night that Panton’s innocence had been first stolen.

Sunday, September 12, 2010 CHILD ABUSE LINKS TO LAW CHIEF, ISLINGTON, SUFFOLK... ![]() Jason Smith, aged 14, who was killed by a child abuse gang in 1985. Jason is believed to have lived in Islington council's Conewood Street children's home. (Jersey child abuse link to Islington, London) On 12th September 2010, The Mail on Sunday (UK) reports on the paedophile and the law chief. Many child abuse rings seem to have links to top politicians, and the military. And, many of the rings seem to be linked. (JERSEY, DUTROUX, PORTUGAL... ) Think of Islington in London, former home of Tony Blair.
