Woman’s head cut off in gardening accident

A DISTRAUGHT husband wept yesterday as he told an inquest how he fell from a ladder and plunged a chainsaw into his wife’s neck in a freak gardening accident.

Retired company director Roland Pudney, 56, trembled as he explained how he believes the couple’s puppy jumped up for attention, causing him to tumble and direct the power tool at Pauline, 57.

Mrs Pudney, who had worked as a housing officer in Lewisham, south-east London, was killed instantly after she was almost decapitated in the incident.

Southwark Coroner’s Court heard that, following the incident, Mr Pudney, of Eltham, south-east London, was heard screaming and sobbing uncontrollably over his wife’s body.

He broke down several times as he told the court how his wife had been supporting the base of a ladder as he cut branches off apple trees in their garden.

“Then I just heard a bang and the next thing I remember I was lying on the ground. The saw wasn’t in my hand. I just looked over and she was lying there and I could see blood,” he said.

“I could see she wasn’t moving. Some people came and there was lots of noise. I could see that she was hurt and knew I had to go and phone an ambulance.”

He said he screamed out as he rushed inside their home and returned to the garden as he heard an ambulance pulling in.

He said: “People started getting me to go back inside the house and I knew she was dead.”

Mr Pudney said: “She was very special. Her whole life was devoted to housing and she loved her children more than anything. Southwark Coroner John Sampson recorded a verdict of accidental death.

'Meer dan vijfhonderd doden in Oezbekistan'
Bij gevechten tussen het leger en opstandelingen in de Oezbeekse stad Andizjan zijn vrijdag mogelijk meer dan vijfhonderd doden gevallen. Soldaten schoten met scherp op opstandige massa's demonstranten die even daarvoor een regeringsgebouw hadden bestormd en een groep gevangenen hadden bevrijd. Zaterdag waren er opnieuw demonstraties in Andizjan.

Volgens onbevestigde berichten is het vandaag opnieuw onrustig in Oezbekistan. De berichtgeving is schaars, want buitenlandse journalisten zijn opgepakt door de veiligheidstroepen. Ze moeten per direct het land verlaten.

Ooggetuigen zeiden dat de demonstranten vrijdag omsingeld werden door het Oezbeekse leger, waarna de soldaten het vuur openden (lees: Opstand Oezbekistan met geweld beëindigd). Het protest richt zich tegen president Islam Karimov, die het land met harde hand regeert.

Karimov zei eerder dat er tien soldaten en 'veel meer' opstandelingen zijn omgekomen. De president ontkent dat hij het bevel heeft gegeven om te schieten, maar volgens ooggetuigen wordt er door het leger wel degelijk met scherp geschoten. De regering zegt de situatie in de stad onder controle te hebben.

Inmiddels zijn duizenden Oezbeken op de vlucht geslagen.

Gevangenis
De onlusten in het notoir opstandige oosten van Oezbekistan begonnen donderdagnacht, toen een groep gewapende opstandelingen een gevangenis in Andizjan bestormde. Ze bevrijdden 23 islamitische zakenlieden, die gevangen zaten op verdenking van moslimterrorisme. Ruim 2.000 andere gedetineerden kwamen ook vrij.

Na de actie sloeg de vlam in de pan. Honderden demonstranten gingen de straten van Andizjan open bestormden overheidsgebouwen. De opstandelingen verzamelden zich op het centrale plein van Andizjan, terwijl ze leuzen als 'vrijheid en gerechtigheid' schreeuwden. Daarop rolden legervoertuigen de stad binnen.

Hard
President Karimov zou de operatie zelf geleid hebben. Hij staat bekend als een harde leider, vooral sinds Oezbekistan vorig jaar werd getroffen door een aantal zelfmoordaanslagen van moslimterroristen. De 23 bevrijde zakenlieden zouden banden hebben met extremistische moslimorganisaties.

In heel de wereld is met zorg gereageerd op de gebeurtenissen in Oezbekistan. Het Witte Huis riep beide partijen op tot kalmte, terwijl de Europese Unie kritiek uitte op het Oezbeekse bewind vanwege de harde aanpak van de opstand.

Fractievoorzitters Urk twee keer bedreigd
Uitgegeven op 14 juli 2005 om 15:55 uur

(Novum) - De fractievoorzitters van het CDA en de ChristenUnie in Urk zijn sinds dit weekeinde twee keer per brief bedreigd. De politie heeft donderdag na de ontvangst van de tweede brief maatregelen genomen en de politici beveiligd.

De schrijver vraagt zich in de eerste brief af waarom de SGP buitenspel is gezet bij de laatste bestuursvorming. De schrijver heeft 'dreigende acties' aangekondigd, zegt politiewoordvoerder Ebe van der Land donderdag. De inhoud van de laatste brief heeft 'ook een politieke lading'.

Volgens Van der Land werd de tweede brief dinsdag 'door een voorbijganger' op straat gevonden. Of de brief in de buurt van de woningen van de politici is gevonden, wil de politiewoordvoerder niet zeggen.

Het Urker college van burgemeester en wethouders trad vorige maand af na een crisis over de verbouwing van de haven en het plaatsen van een multifunctioneel centrum, zegt woordvoerder Dirk Visser van de gemeente Urk. De ChristenUnie en het CDA, beide met vijf zetels in de raad, willen een nieuw college vormen. De SPG, die ook vijf zetels heeft, lijkt met dit voornemen buitengesloten. De gemeenteraad stemt woensdag over het nieuwe bestuur. De gemeenteraad in Urk telt in totaal zeventien zetels.

De anonieme schrijver schreef de twee brieven met 'opvallende spellingsfouten'. Voornamelijk de ei en ij zijn regelmatig abusievelijk gebruikt, vertelt Van der Land. De politiewoordvoerder denkt niet dat de schrijver kort in Nederland woont. "Daar duidt het niet op." De politie is een onderzoek gestart, maar heeft nog geen aanhouding verricht.

Mother sets fire to her daughter's gloating rapist

A Spanish mother has taken revenge on the man who raped her 13-year-old daughter at knifepoint by dousing him in petrol and setting him alight. He died of his injuries in hospital on Friday.

Antonio Cosme Velasco Soriano, 69, had been sent to jail for nine years in 1998, but was let out on a three-day pass and returned to his home town of Benejúzar, 30 miles south of Alicante, on the Costa Blanca.

While there, he passed his victim's mother in the street and allegedly taunted her about the attack. He is said to have called out "How's your daughter?", before heading into a crowded bar.

Shortly after, the woman walked into the bar, poured a bottle of petrol over Soriano and lit a match. She watched as the flames engulfed him, before walking out.

The woman fled to Alicante, where she was arrested the same evening. When she appeared in court the next day in the town of Orihuela, she was cheered and clapped by a crowd, who shouted "Bravo!" and "Well done!"

A judge ordered her to be held in prison and undergo psychiatric tests, provoking anger from friends and neighbours, who have set up a petition calling for her release.

Soriano suffered 60 per cent burns in the attack on June 13 and was airlifted to a specialist unit. He survived for 11 days before succumbing to his injuries.

It is understood that the woman, who cannot be named because of laws safeguarding the identity of rape victims, claims to have no recollection of the attack which took place in the Bar Mary, just 300 yards from the family home.

As decorators painted over the blackened walls of his bar last week, Antonio Ferrendez Lopez told how Soriano had walked in at lunchtime.

"The place was packed with people eating. I was sitting at a table and Soriano was standing at the bar very close to me when the woman walked in," he said. "She didn't acknowledge anyone but walked up to Soriano, who was drinking a coffee, put her hand on his shoulder and turned him round to face her.

"Then she pulled the bottle she was carrying from under her arm and began to tip it over him. At first I didn't realise what was happening, but then I smelt the petrol. I jumped up and tried to grab her, but when she struck a match I got clear.

"The petrol was in a pool around Soriano, and she threw the match into it. It ignited with a whoosh, and he screamed and staggered about covered in flames. As people rushed outside to escape the flames, she just looked at him, then turned and walked away."

Customers helped Mr Lopez put out the fire with extinguishers and doused Soriano with water until paramedics arrived.

Soriano's attack on the woman's teenage daughter took place in 1998. The girl was going to buy a loaf of bread when Soriano snatched her from the street, threatened her with a knife and raped her. Her mother is said to have suffered mental illness ever since.

Soriano was convicted of the rape and ordered to serve 13 years in jail. The sentence was later reduced to nine years on appeal.

The woman's lawyer, Joaquín Galant, told The Sunday Telegraph last night: "The family has suffered a double tragedy. First the attack on their daughter and now this. Both the father and his daughter would like to express their sadness at the death of Soriano."

Earlier, Mr Galant said that the woman did not deserve to be kept in prison. "For seven years she has been deeply affected by what was done to her daughter," he said. "This man, fresh from prison and asking how her daughter was, might be considered to have provoked her."
