Warren Ross jailed for 40 years for murder of Tanilla Warrick-Deaves

WARREN Ross has been sentenced to 40 years jail for the bashing murder of toddler Tanilla Warrick-Deaves.
Ross, 32, bashed, abused and tortured Tanilla Warwick-Deaves, the daughter of his then partner Donna Deaves up until her death inside her Watanobbi home in August 2011.
He will be eligible for parole in September 2041.
In sentencing Ross, Judge Stephen Rothma said Tanilla’s murder was ‘approaching’ the worst category.
“There is no doubt this murder was particularly heinous,” Justice Rothman said
Justice Rothman said Ross had “not expressed any regret” or remorse, and “continues to assert his innocence.”
Ross’ mother screamed out “I’ll be dead. What about his kids?” as the sentence was fixed, while her killer son sneered at Adrian Warwick, Tanilla’s biological father, from the dock “see you in there, Adrian.”.
The Supreme Court was packed with members of the Ross family, including Warwick, while riot police were also on hand to keep tensions in check.
During the sentencing, Mr Warwick and his partner Brooke became distressed when Ross began signalling to them from the dock.
Extra sheriffs were inside the courtroom, after previous outbursts by Ross during the verdict and sentencing hearing

New Racism - Larkins and Tanilla

Andrew Bolt  

September 19 2013 (12:28pm)

Enough. End the New Racism before more get hurt

Another (alleged) sign of the New Racism that makes debate so difficult - and Aboriginal children so vulnerable:

The royal commission into child abuse has been told a paedophile scout leader was not stood down because it would look bad to sack someone who was part Aboriginal…
Former Scouts Australia group leader Armand Hoitink said scoutmaster Steven Larkins was left working with children, even though he was caught showering with them and putting love notes under their doors…
He said when he asked officials why Larkins had not been sacked, he was told it was because Larkins was part Aboriginal.
“They thought it would be bad publicity,” Mr Hoitink said.

Khaled Kahwaji, 29, from Rhodes

Khaled Kahwaji, 29, from Rhodes, was spoken to by police at Petersham around 12:30pm on Friday March 15, 2013 - six hours later his body was found on Wilbur St, Greenacre.
Kahwaji was charged with the murder of Saba Kairouz in August 2010.

Investigators are focusing their main line of inquiry to include a retaliation attack in relation to that murder, but are also investigating links with the shooting of a crime family matriarch on Auburn road at Auburn last Saturday.
The victim in that case, revealed by this newspaper earlier this week, was the aunt of Supermax inmate Bassam Hamzy, the founder of the organised crime group Brothers For Life.
Police later said they were bracing for an escalation in violence over the attack, which saw her shot four times in the legs at her front door.

 Witnesses living on Wilbur St at Greenacre said they tried to help Kahwaji as he lay on the road just after being shot in the back of the head about 6pm Friday night.

North Korea scraps peace pacts 

Are Hyundai and Samsung doomed?

While North Korea is not deemed capable of any nuclear strike on the US mainland, there are growing fears that it will mount some provocation in the form of a missile test or a similar artillery assault.

'To me, this feels like the most dangerous situation since the Korean War,' said Paik Hak-Soon, a North Korean analyst at the Sejong Institute in Seoul.
'The North is cornered more than ever in the international community and will keep pushing ahead with even more confrontational moves militarily,' said Paik.
