Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Suzanne Dolan pleaded guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to wilfully neglecting the boy Credit: PA:Press Association The boy was in the kitchen by himself while Dolan spoke to a delivery driver. She initially claimed that the boy - who suffered a fractured skull and bleed to the brain - had fallen from a trampoline. The child also suffered a fractured leg following a later incident after he fell downstairs when left alone again. Dolan pleaded guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to a charge of wilfully neglecting the boy. Sheriff Owen Mullan today ordered Dolan to do 210 hours of unpaid work and put her under supervision for two years. Dolan was also tagged for three months, keeping her indoors between 7pm and 7am. It is clear the offences had life changing consequences. She deeply regrets what happened Ian McCarthy The sheriff said: 'This matter meets the custodial threshold - it is a serious matter. 'I am just persuaded to avoid a custodial sentence here. 'There is nothing I can usefully add to explain or comment on the tragedy of what happened in this case. 'I take it as genuine from you that you live with the consequences for that and have shown remorse.' Ex-Army soldier, 19, arrested over 'ISIS plot' at US military base after 'stockpiling armor-piercing bullets and bombs' The court heard that Dolan's neighbour first spotted the boy lying on the concrete, believing that he was sleeping. The neighbour shouted on Dolan, who was speaking to the delivery driver. Dolan said to her neighbour: "He can't be outside." Prosecutor Kyle Dalziel said: "Dolan ran down from the front door of the first-floor flat to the outside. "The boy was unresponsive, lying on concrete in the garden under the kitchen window which was open. "The boy's shoes were found scattered on the ground. He was lying in a pool of blood and sick. The blood was coming from an injury to his head." Dolan took the boy inside - he was conscious but walking with a limp.

He was lying in a pool of blood and sick Kyle Dalziel A 999 call was made when Dolan claimed that the boy had fell from a trampoline when "he wasn't looking." Dolan told the truth the next day, and that the fall had occurred when she spoke to the delivery driver. The boy was treated at hospital meantime for a "significant head injury." The boy suffered a fractured skull, a blood clot as well as a swollen and bleeding brain. As a result, the boy walks with a limp, drags his feet and has vision impairment in his right eye. Dolan later installed baby gates at the top of her stairs and the third stair from the bottom. There is nothing I can usefully add to explain or comment on the tragedy of what happened in this case Sheriff Owen Mullan On March 3 2021, Dolan did not lock one of the gates when she was getting washing. Mr Dalziel said: "Dolan observed the boy bumping down four or five steps before the gate and he cried." Later that day, Dolan went to the toilet when she heard the boy cry again. Mr Dalziel said: "She thought she heard a thud but not a loud thud and thought the boy had fallen from the third step before the gate." Dolan picked the boy up to dress him and noted that his leg was in pain as he screamed. She took him to hospital where he was found to have suffered a fracture to his leg. The boy was then put in a leg cast. Ian McCarthy, defending, told the sentencing: 'It is clear the offences had life changing consequences. 'She deeply regrets what happened here and continues to show remorse.'

Woman held over death of man who was locked out naked on balcony
A woman in Japan was arrested for allegedly locking her naked partner on their balcony for the night, leading to his death from the cold, police said Friday. The 54-year-old was arrested on charges of assault and lethal confinement, police in southern Japan's Nagasaki region told the AFP news agency. In February 2022, the woman "ordered the victim to get out on a balcony while he was naked, and confined him there," local official Masafumi Tanigawa said. The next day police rushed to the scene after an emergency call, and the 49-year-old was found "nearly dead" in a room, Tanigawa said, adding he later died of hypothermia. The temperature that night dropped to a low of 3.7 Celsius (38.66 Fahrenheit), the Mainichi daily reported. The woman had earlier attacked her partner, who was her common-law husband, with a knife, leaving him with nose injuries that took two weeks to heal. An autopsy revealed a cut wound on the man's nose, and police are investigating the possibility that the man was a victim of daily domestic violence, the Mainichi reported. The woman denies the charges, telling police that "I've done nothing," Tanigawa quoted her as saying. Police did not say why it had taken so long to formally charge her. Last year, about one in four spouses in Japan reported experiencing physical abuse from their partners, the Japan Times reported, citing government statistics. Among those who said they were physically abused by their spouses, 12.6% reported that they felt that their lives were in danger, the survey showed.

22 killed, 3 wounded in narco gang gun battles in Ecuador
Rival factions of an Ecuadoran drug trafficking gang fought Thursday in the violent port city of Guayaquil, leaving at least 22 people dead, officials said. Another three people were wounded in a series of clashes in the city, the local police said in a statement as it increased an earlier toll of 12 dead. A police source told AFP the gunfights involved opposing factions of a gang called Los Tigerones, one of the most powerful in this formerly peaceful country. Ecuador is home to an estimated 20 criminal gangs involved in drug trafficking, kidnapping and extortion, wreaking havoc in a country of 18 million squeezed between the world's biggest cocaine producers, Peru and Colombia. In recent years, Ecuador has plunged into violence amid the rapid spread of transnational cartels that use its ports, like Guayaquil, to ship cocaine to the United States and Europe. Homicides, for example, have risen from six per 100,000 inhabitants in 2018 to a record 47 in 2023. Experts say the gangs are constantly mutating and growing stronger with profits from crime. Guayaquil is the capital of Guayas, one of seven provinces where a state of emergency has been in force for the past two months as the government battles the gangsters. In February, clashes between rival criminal groups in Guayaquil claimed the lives of 14 people. Last month President Daniel Noboa said he would ask unspecified allied countries to send special forces to help him wage this fight. The violence is not letting up as Ecuador gears for a runoff election April 13 in which Noboa will face leftist Luisa Gonzalez. In January, the military said a leader of one of Ecuador's biggest crime syndicates, Los Lobos, was arrested at his home in the coastal city of Portoviejo. The U.S. last year declared Los Lobos to be the largest drug trafficking organization in Ecuador. In 2024, Noboa declared a state of "internal armed conflict" after a brutal wave of violence, sparked by the jailbreak of a powerful crime boss.

Female senator suspended after accusing Nigeria senate leader of misconduct
Abuja — A lawmaker in Nigeria has been suspended from her office after she complained of sexual harassment by the senate president, sparking protests and condemnation from feminist groups. Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan accused the legislative body's president, Godswill Akpabio, of making unwanted advances toward her in an interview with Nigerian media last week and filed a petition against him. She was then suspended for six months, a move that was justified over an earlier argument that erupted in the senate chambers about a change in her seating arrangement. Separately, the sexual harassment petition was rejected on procedural grounds. "My unjust suspension from the Nigerian Senate invalidates the principles of natural justice, fairness and equity," Akpoti Uduaghan said in a statement posted on social media. "The illegal suspension does not withdraw my legitimacy as a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and I will continue to use my duly elected position to serve my constituents and country to the best of my ability till 2027 … and beyond." The suspension on Thursday came just days before International Women's Day, celebrated each year on March 8. Detailing the alleged sexual harassment, Akpoti Uduaghan said the senate president — who denies the accusations — repeatedly blocked a motion she tried to advance in the chamber and then tied its advancement to demands for sexual favors. Speaking to broadcaster Arise TV, the senator said she was told by Akpabio that the motion could go through if she "took care" of him. "He then said... 'You can enjoy a whole lot if you take care of me and make me happy,'" she said. The change in seating, which sparked a row in the chambers, "was a trap, a set-up," by Akpabio, who ordered the change, Akpoti Uduaghan said. "I have been dehumanized, I have been maligned... the seat change was just the straw that broke the camel's back," she said. Protesters and counter-protesters took to the streets of the capital Abuja on Thursday over the issue, with one group calling on her to apologize. Those who have come to the senator's defense say the row has highlighted long-standing women's rights issues in the socially conservative west African country. Mabel Adinya Ade, the founder of a women's rights group, said the suspension had "exposed the deeply entrenched gender-based violence (GBV) and the systemic marginalization of women in Nigerian politics." Calling the suspension a "stunning display of patriarchal impunity", Ade, in an article published Thursday in Law and Society magazine, said "the message is chilling: speak out, and you will be punished." "By stifling women's leadership, Nigeria is sabotaging its own progress," she argued. Of the Nigerian Senate's 109 members, only four are women.
