You've Got Nail And Other Crimes

On the 10th of September 2019, a family in Bognor Regis England, found the tip of a man's finger had been posted through their letter box.

You've Got Nail

They called the police who ran the DNA profile obtained from the digit through the UK national database, but obtained no match and so have no clue as to whose finger it came from nor indeed why it was posted through the families letter box. The only other thing that they could glean was that the finger tip had been removed sometime in the five days prior to its posting.

Well, Jemma Clark of Clacton, London also got more than she bargained for when she purchased a pair of socks from Primark. Inside was what was later confirmed to be a human bone, possibly from a little finger.

Worse than that, she only found the fragment while putting the socks in the wash .... when she reported it to Primark, they offered her an envelope to return the bone for examination, stating that it was probably a hoax "by an individual for unknown reasons". The police were investigating.

Tough Love

A couple in Blackpool, Lancashire, England were prosecuted for using a BB airgun to discipline their children. The couple routinely shot their five children, aged between seven and fifteen for such 'offences' as not changing a nappy, not doing the washing up, having a boyfriend. In September 2017. the father was sentenced to two years imprisonment, and the mother got a suspended sentence ... where are child services when you need them?

South Wales Wimmin

Angela Collingbourne was running her family car repair firm NP19 Tyres in Newport, South Wales with her sons. However she and the family were also running a cocaine drug racket that netted £2.5m. Not deterred by the jailing of her sons at various times, she carried on servicing the approx 4,000 customers and ensured the dealers were paid. 

In May 2019, she eventually got 6 years, and seven other members of the drugs gang were also jailed. Earlier in March 2019 her two sons were jailed for 12 and 14 years respectively in their latest prison terms. six other members were also jailed for conspiracy to supply class A drugs at Newport Crown Court. In all sixteen people were jailed for connections with her gang, with sentences ranging from 8 months to 14 years. Could easily be a Florida story .....
