Hadiza Atunse, 25, found with bag of cocaine after crashing her car spared jail after court hears she was having a bout of ‘excited delirium syndrome’ at the time of the smash

Our thanks to Ken for this. Ms Atunse smashed her car into a Mini Cooper before landing in a row of hedges,. She was driving without insurance, failed to provide a sufficient breath sample despite being given multiple opportunities, and upon arriving at hospital refused to provide a blood sample. Nothing to be suspicious of there, no siree! Her defence solicitor said:

“She did not have much recollection of the entire process other than being very frightened and scared [J4MB: Frightened AND scared, not just one or the other.] She has accepted that she was in possession of cocaine on the day [J4MB: That’s good of her.] but says: ‘I need to get this out of the way and I need to get on with my life’.”

Summer Marl-Brock, 20, ‘lured’ ex-boyfriend into trap then laughed and filmed as he was bitten and kicked

Our thanks to Graham for this, an example of female proxy violence. An extract:

“The ex-girlfriend had contacted her ex on the night of the attack to say she had been out drinking and was on her own. He agreed to come to her, because he was concerned and they arranged to meet half way at shops in Ewloe, Wales. Prosecutor Jemma Gordan said: “Unknown to Mr Edwards, Summer Marl-Brock was with David Brock and Aaron Evans. They were lying in wait.””

One wonders how many unsolved cases of male-on-male violence, up to and including murder, is carried out at the behest of women, sometimes partners in a bid to acquire property and other financial assets. Graham writes:

“I came across this case and thought it was worth flagging because it highlights a few uncomfortable but important points.

First, men are statistically far more likely to be victims of violent crime in the UK, yet the public narrative and policy focus rarely reflects that reality.

Second, the issue of responsibility. In this case, while the men carried out the assault, the woman appears to have played a leading role in instigating it. That raises a fundamental question: should those who organise or incite violence bear greater accountability than those who physically execute it?

The sentencing is also telling. The men received 7 and 6 years, while the woman received 54 months, with two-thirds to be served in prison. That’s 36 months (3 years) in custody. Despite being central to the incident, her sentence is notably lower.

More broadly, there’s a pattern that doesn’t get discussed enough: the role of indirect or psychological instigation in male-on-male violence. Situations where someone provokes or directs harm without carrying it out seem to attract less scrutiny, even though they can be the driving force behind the event.

If leadership implies responsibility, then it’s worth asking whether accountability is being applied consistently, both in how we view violence and how we sentence it.”
