10 Reasons Why Men Should Quit Watching Po*n

Student ‘recorded her own murder’ while filming boyfriend’s ‘bad weed trip’

Student ‘recorded her own murder’ while filming boyfriend’s ‘bad weed trip’

A university student unwittingly ‘recorded her own murder’ while trying to capture her boyfriend’s ‘bad weed trip’ shortly before he killed her, a court heard.

Lauren Bloomer, 25, was stabbed more than 30 times by her 27-year-old partner Jake Notman in a horrific attack likened to ‘something out of the movie Scream’, jurors heard.

Deborah Gould, prosecuting, told Stafford Crown Court Ms Bloomer could be heard shouting for help as Notman lunged at her, at first with his bare hands and then using a knife, while snarling: ‘I will 

never f***ing see you again.’

It then captured him telling her ‘I am going to make sure’ as a car revved in the background before a thud could be heard, alleged to have been the sound of Notman’s Ford Kuga running her over.

Notman denies murdering Ms Bloomer at their home in Tamworth, Staffordshire, in the early hours of Friday November 20 last year.He claims he did not form the necessary intent due to his mental state.

Jurors heard the couple were avid ‘gamers’ and decided to celebrate the release of the new PS5 console by taking weed brownies.

But Andrew Fisher QC, defending, said the night ‘went horrendously wrong’ when Notman suffered an ‘extreme florid 

psychiatric episode in the course of which he totally lost touch with reality and became wholly delusional’.

Ms Gould earlier told the court: ‘Something no doubt in the defendant’s behaviour prompted Lauren to start recording on that mobile phone.

‘The audio recorded Lauren’s screams and it recorded her calls for help.’

Describing the contents of the near 17-minute clip, she went on: ‘The audio captured the moments leading up to, including and after the murder.’

Jurors heard Notman became aggressive nine minutes into the recording, around a minute before Lauren is heard saying ‘please help me’ to his aunt in a call on a second phone.

The Crown’s barrister added: ‘You may think when you hear the sounds that the defendant is downstairs, the phone remaining upstairs.

‘At 10 minutes and 49 seconds in the recording, Lauren stops screaming. The defendant is then heard shouting “I will never f****** see you again”.’

Notman, the court heard, was then heard saying ‘I am going to make sure’, before the sound of a revving engine is heard

A thud was then recorded by the victim’s phone, which Ms Gould said was the sound of Notman’s Ford Kuga being driven over Ms Bloomer.Notman, who worked for Jaguar Land Rover at its Solihull site, was seen by neighbours as he ran over his partner’s body, and allegedly took no steps to help her before heading back into their house.He is then said to have dialled 999 at 1.32am, telling the operator he had ‘been told I have killed my girlfriend’.

Notman, Ms Gould said, made no comment in five police interviews, instead providing a statement suggesting the cannabis brownie – the first he had ever consumed – had something in it other than cannabis

After three psychiatrists had assessed Notman’s ‘disordered’ behaviour, Ms Gould told jurors it was believed he had suffered an adverse reaction.

But she told the jury: ‘It does not provide a defence in law. A disordered intention caused by self-induced ingestion of an intoxicant is as good as a sober intention.

You can infer that the defendant intended to kill Lauren or cause her really serious injury from the fact that he beat her, tried to strangle her… and sought out a knife and used it to attack Lauren for a second time.

‘You can infer it from what he said before he drove the car over her.’

Jurors heard the psychiatrists in the case agree Notman was experiencing a psychotic episode.

Ms Gould said Notman has claimed he believed he was dead and that in order to come back to life he had to kill his partner.

At the conclusion of her opening speech, Ms Gould told the jury: ‘His disordered intention was self-induced as a result of the voluntary consumption of cannabis.’


Alleging Notman had either intended to kill or cause really serious harm, Ms Gould said: ‘If you find he did so… he is guilty of murder‘The prosecution case is that this was a clear case of a defendant who had a self-induced disordered intention to kill.’

The trial continues.

Ira Einhorn was A counterculture Icon of 1960s Philadelphia -- Then He Brutally Murdered His Girlfriend

Ira Einhorn was A counterculture Icon of 1960s Philadelphia -- Then He Brutally Murdered His Girlfriend  Ira Einhorn was a celebrated environmental activist and a radical voice in the anti-establishment movements of the 1960s and 1970s. But his messages of peace and love clearly didn't extend to his girlfriend of five years, Holly Maddux. When Maddux broke up with him in 1977, Einhorn threatened to throw her belongings into the street if she didn't come to pick them up. After Maddux went to retrieve her items, she mysteriously vanished. ⁠ ⁠ Then, about 18 months later, Einhorn's downstairs neighbor complained of a foul-smelling liquid dripping from the ceiling. Police soon found Maddux's badly beaten and partially mummified body in a trunk in Einhorn's closet. Not long after the grisly discovery, Einhorn fled to Europe, where he got married, settled down in a converted windmill in France, and evaded capture for 17 years. When he was eventually extradited and finally...

Man found dead in Amanda Park motel in 2001 positively identified as California man

Man found dead in Amanda Park motel in 2001 positively identified as California man On September 16, 2001, a young man checked into a motel in Amanda Park, Washington under the name of Lyle Stevik. The following day, Stevik was found dead in his room. He had used his belt to hang himself in a closet and left a note that simply read “suicide.” Although after 17 long years the real identity of Lyle Stevik has been finally uncovered by Internet sleuths, the true horror and mystery are still hiding inside the Room 5. Lyle Stevik (c. 1976 – September 16, 2001) was the alias used by an American man who, in 2001, committed suicide in Amanda Park, Washington, on the Olympic Peninsula. Although his body was quickly discovered, and fingerprints, DNA, and dental information collected and recorded, there were no matches in any databases and his identity remained unknown until 2018. On May 8, 2018, the Grays Harbor County Sheriff's Office announced that "Stevik" was identified after a...

How Did Billy the Kid Die?

How Did Billy the Kid Die? Western outlaw Billy the Kid met his demise at about 12:30 a.m. on July 14, 1881, when he went to his friend Pete Maxwell’s home in Fort Sumner, New Mexico in search of a slice of beef for a late-night snack.  As the story goes, Billy—just 21 years old, but already a murderer who had escaped from jail and killed two guards in the process—made the mistake of walking into a darkened bedroom, where Lincoln County Sheriff Pat Garrett was questioning Maxwell. Both Garrett and Billy were armed, but Garrett shot first, killing Billy. At least, that’s the most widely-accepted version of events. But over the years, some of the murky details surrounding the death of Billy—whose real name probably was Henry McCarty, though he later went by the alias William Bonney—have proven to be fertile ground for alternative theories.  Some have claimed that Garrett shot the wrong man and Billy escaped. To complicate matters further, at least two men emerged decades later w...

The Heroic Story Of Scott Davidson, Pete Davidson’s Dad Who Died On 9/11

The Heroic Story Of Scott Davidson, Pete Davidson’s Dad Who Died On 9/11 Scott Davidson was more than just the father of “SNL” star Pete Davidson. He was a teacher, a coach, a husband, and one of the most courageous firefighters of Ladder 118. When the second plane hit the Twin Towers on 9/11, Pete Davidson's 33-year-old father was on shift at Ladder 118 in Brooklyn Heights. Seconds later, the call came in about the attack, and Scott Davidson, along with five other firefighters, soon raced across the Brooklyn Bridge to the World Trade Center. At that moment, a Bible printer happened to be on a nearby rooftop and snapped a photo of the fire truck driving toward the smoking towers. Just a short while later, Davidson and the rest of the Ladder 118 crew were all killed while evacuating the Marriott World Trade Center hotel as the North Tower collapsed, destroying the building and also burying the doomed fire truck. See the photos and go inside the tragic story of Scott Davidson, the fi...

A Very Victorian Two-Penny Hangover

During the Great Depreciation in London, people who couldn’t afford to sleep in a bad could pay twopence for a spot on a bench with a clothesline tied in front of them, so they could sleep while hanging over a rope . The term ‘hangover’ is universally understood to mean the disproportionate suffering that comes after a night of over-indulgence. But where does the term actually come from? One possible explanation is, somewhat strangely, Victorian England. During the Victorian era the practice of paying for a ‘two-penny hangover’ was incredibly popular among the country’s homeless population and the term ‘two penny hangover’ was so commonly used that it made its way into contemporary literature. A two-penny hangover is not the description of a very cheap night out, nor is it the amount it would cost you to get drunk in Victorian England. It is actually somewhere you could go to sleep if you were one of the thousands of homeless and destitute living in the country’s main cities at the tim...

Billionaire Cancer Patient Threw Away Bags Full Of Cash Over Her Sickness (pic)

This picture was taken in the Harbin Provincial Hospital. A cancer patient carrying a bag full of money asked the doctor to please save her life and she has plenty of money to pay him.

She was so angry and frustrated that she threw the money across the hospital's entire corridor. Shouting "what`s the use of having the money" "what is the use of having the money." "Money cannot buy health, money to buy time, money cannot buy life."

Everest climber returns to mountain to bury woman he was forced to abandon 9 years ago

Everest climber returns to mountain to bury woman he was forced to abandon 9 years ago In 2007, Ian Woodall, a British climber, returned to Everest to bury the bodies of three climbers he passed on his way to the summit. One of the climbers, a woman named Francys Arsentiev, was still alive when Woodall reached her during his initial ascent. Her first words to him were"don't leave me behind." The grim reality, though, is that Woodall could not have done anything for her without jeopardizing his own life or the lives of his team members. He was forced to leave her to perish alone. Climbing Mount Everest has become much safer over the past decade thanks to advances in technology and climbing gear. Satellite phones allow a climber to stay in contact with base camp to get constant updates on weather systems in the area. A better understanding of exactly what kind and how much gear to take has also caused the death toll to drop dramatically. She was alone on a mountain shelf wh...
