A Very British Murder...

Frenchman Soufiane Essabri, of Rathmore Road, stabbed and battered 30-year-old Latvian Andrejs Ivanovs during "an extraordinarily violent outburst" in December 2012.
It's not really one for Miss Marple or Sherlock Holmes, is it?

  2. Not even a 'pieds noirs'. Maybe a 'visage noir'

    Well worth reading until the end for the letter from 'Redhead'.

  4. By "Frenchman", I take it he was spotted cycling away wearing a stripey jumper, beret and strings of onions dangling from the handlebars?...

    1. That's racist. Three renditions of Frere Jacques and you're forgiven.

    He looks like he's just stuck his finger into the mains socket.

    Indeed so!

    "The NewsShopper is certainly a fine publication."

    It's a rich seam of blog material indeed!
