Labour mayor helped hide evidence when her son, 41, was arrested for raping 15-year-old girl, court told​

A Labour mayor helped to hide evidence when her son was arrested on suspicion of raping a 15-year-old girl, a court has been told.

Naheed Ejaz, 61, allowed her 'mother's love for a son to stretch to criminality' by refusing to let police officers into her home when they came to arrest him, it was heard.

Ejaz, who had been Mayor of Bracknell Forest from 2023 to 2024, in Berkshire, is said to have delayed their entry for 'some minutes'.

She also spoke to her son, Diwan Khan, 41, in Urdu to 'assist' him in hiding his phone which had a video on it of the alleged sex attack, Winchester Crown Court heard.

Mr Khan - who was her Consort of the Mayor - is accused of raping a 15-year-old girl in June 2024 after she 'blacked out' from the MDMA that he put in vodka for her to drink.

Prosecutors allege the teenager woke up in the backseat of his car with no clothes on and she could not remember what had happened.

But Khan then showed her a video that he filmed of him having sex with her, choking and slapping her in the face.

Khan, who appeared alongside his mother for official Mayor functions, allegedly threatened to show her mother the video if she said anything and that she 'belonged' to him.

Migrant, 70, who told girl, 12, to 'cover her head' before sexually assaulting her on way home from school is spared jail​

A 70-year-old migrant has been spared jail for sexually assaulting a young girl 'while encouraging her to cover her head'.

Chaudhry Zaman had forcibly held the 12-year-old girl's hand while she was walking home from school in Slough, Berkshire, then kissed her.

He told jurors he had been encouraging the girl to cover her head and telling her how she could do so.

The girl said her father now had to pick her up from school and she feels anxious during the school run.

Zaman, who was assisted by a Punjabi interpreter in court, was spared jail, in part due to his age.

The court heard the girl lost friends in her community after she came forward to make the allegation.

Judge Amjad Nawaz, describing the incident, told Zaman: 'CCTV shows you holding her hand. She says she did not want to, her hand was forcibly held.

'You were seen sitting on a bench with her and that is where she said that you kissed her on her lips.'

MI6 was warned of Mandelson's Russia links... so why didn't Starmer know when he appointed the controversial Labour grandee to be our man in Washington?​

MI6 was told that Peter Mandelson could be a risk to British security because of his connections with Russian intelligence, it has been claimed tonight.

The revelation that the alarm was sounded more than 15 years ago will heap further pressure on embattled Sir Keir Starmer over his decision to appoint Mandelson as Washington ambassador, despite his links to Jeffrey Epstein.

Last week, The Mail on Sunday reported how senior security officials believed that the financier paedophile was running a vast 'honeytrap operation' on behalf of the KGB.

Now Brussels intelligence sources have told this newspaper that EU security services warned their British equivalents in 2008 that Moscow was targeting Mandelson through his relationship with Kremlin-linked oligarch Oleg Deripaska – and had been tracking his relationship with Epstein since 2006.

As a result of the tip-off, Mandelson is understood to have been interviewed by British security officials.

In 2005, Mandelson, then EU trade commissioner, flew by private jet to Siberia where he and billionaire Deripaska took part in a 'banya' sauna session, in which participants are hit with birch leaves.

Then in 2008, Mandelson and George Osborne, then shadow chancellor, were embroiled in controversy after attending a party on the oligarch's 238ft yacht moored off Corfu.

Mandelson, who denied doing any favours for Deripaska, had overseen the EU's lowering of tariffs on aluminium, which benefited the Russian's companies.

Peter Mandelson secretly tried to help Epstein shut down a Mail on Sunday investigation into the paedophile's friendship with Andrew​

Peter Mandelson secretly tried to help Jeffrey Epstein shut down a ground breaking Mail on Sunday investigation into the paedophile's friendship with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, it can be revealed today.

Extraordinary emails unearthed from the Epstein Files expose how days after this newspaper exclusively published the first interview with Andrew's accuser Virginia Giuffre, Mandelson began to advise the paedophile on how he should 'fight back'.

Mandelson, dubbed the Dark Lord because of his skills as a spin-doctor, urged Epstein to engage Schillings - a highly combative law firm - and potentially seek public relations advice from a former editor of the Sun newspaper.

The former Labour cabinet minister even appears to have drafted a press statement as part of a PR strategy for the sex offender.

Mandelson's efforts were part of what now appears to be a double-pronged bid to derail this newspaper's investigation into Andrew's link with Epstein.

The MoS revealed in October how just before our bombshell interview with Ms Giuffre was published in February 2011, Andrew embroiled the Metropolitan Police and one of Queen Elizabeth's most senior aides in a campaign to smear Ms Giuffre.

A shocking message showed how Andrew asked his taxpayer-funded personal protection officer to investigate Ms Giuffre and passed him her confidential US social security number.

In an extraordinary email to Ed Perkins, Queen Elizabeth's deputy press secretary, on February 26, 2011, Andrew wrote: 'It would also seem she has a criminal record in the States. I have given her DoB [date of birth] and social security number for investigation with XXX, the on duty ppo [personal protection officer].'

The Met announced in December that it would not launch a criminal investigation into Andrew, to the dismay of Ms Giuffre's family.

How sad - one of the UK's grateful migrant dies in jail.

Afghan migrant who repeatedly punched woman in random attack dies in jail​

An Afghan migrant who left a woman dripping with blood after punching her repeatedly in a random attack has died in jail.

Gulwali Stanekzay, aged 22 at the time of the attack, assaulted Aisha Waris, 23, three times as she walked home by herself at night in February, 2023 in Harlesden, north-west London.

Stanekzay was sentenced to three years in prison after admitting to the attack.

It has now emerged the asylum seeker died at HMP Wandsworth on January 17 at the age of 25.

The Prisons and Probation Ombudsman is carrying out an investigation into his death.

Ms Waris had been walking home along Minet Avenue in Harlesden at 7.30pm on February 26 when Stanekzay suddenly and deliberately rode his bike into her and started punching her repeatedly in the head and shoulders for about a minute.

He rode away and shocked and dazed, she continued her short journey back home but noticed seconds later he was again walking towards her menacingly.

Stanekzay punched her repeatedly again forcing Ms Waris to cover her face and run towards a neighbour's home.

Asylum system turning into 'conveyor belt' to life on benefits, critics warn as number of migrants and refugees getting hand-outs doubles in 3 years​

Britain’s ‘broken’ asylum system is creating a ‘conveyor belt’ to a life on benefits, critics warned today.

It came as new figures revealed that despite pledges of a crackdown by ministers, the number of migrants and refugees claiming universal credit has more than doubled since 2022.

A total of 124,833 claimants with refugee status were receiving the payments – which average just over £1,000 a month – according to latest Government figures from last October.

That was on top of another 53,240 people classed as unable to be returned to their home countries because they alleged they would suffer human rights abuses.

In comparison, when the data was first collected in April 2022, there were 64,423 refugees and 3,221 people with humanitarian status receiving the benefit.

The number of refugees with indefinite leave to remain – a status which can be claimed after five years – soared from 95,612 to 218,944 in the same period.

Meanwhile those given limited leave to remain – to live, work or study for six months to five years – also rose, from 68,883 to 76,898.

According to the Department for Work and Pensions data, three-quarters of refugees and two-thirds with leave to remain were not in work, along with 60 per cent of those with humanitarian status.

No doubt the sentencing will be lenient, in accordance with UK soft justice, and in a few years it will come as no surprise if sexually assaults on small children are committed yet again. ​

Moment nursery worker, 30, is arrested after raping and sexually assaulting five children in his care - as parents demand answers over 'catastrophic' safeguarding failures​

He was noted by staff to sit children on his lap for lengthy periods of time, wear a pair of trousers with holes in the crotch area, and seemed 'territorial' over certain toddlers and their parents, the court heard.

Nursery practitioner Elizabeth Burton told the court that Bennett had a 'jealous attachment' with five children and would 'take control of them'.

During the trial, video interviews with two of the children in the case - referred to only as Child A and Child E - were played to the jury.

Child E's mother also gave evidence, telling how her son had demonstrated how he had been abused at his nursery. 'I got him to stop doing it. I asked him when did that happen. He said it happened at nursery,' she said.

Giving evidence, Bennett said he was 'emulating' what was done to him as a child and denied having a sexual attraction to children.

The defendant, of Corston, Bath, was found guilty by the jury of:
  • Two charges of raping a child under 13.
  • Four charges of the sexual assault of a child under 13.
  • Two charges of assault of a child under 13 by penetration.
He previously pleaded guilty to 13 other charges. They were:
  • Eight charges of sexual assault of a child under 13.
  • Four charges of causing a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity.
  • One charge of engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child.
Judge William Hart remanded Bennett in custody until he is sentenced on March 16.

'I will order a pre-sentence report that should address length of sentence and the question of dangerousness,' he said.

Afghan asylum seeker is found guilty of abducting, raping and taking indecent video of a 12-year-old girl in Nuneaton​

An Afghan asylum seeker who raped a 12-year-old girl in a case which sparked protests and allegations of a police cover up was convicted today of multiple sex offences on the 'very vulnerable' victim.

Ahmad Mulakhil, 23, whose victim said he laughed while attacking her in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, last summer, was found guilty of rape and two counts of sexual assault, having admitted a further rape charge before his trial.

Jurors at Warwick Crown Court also convicted him of child abduction and taking an indecent video of the girl during her ordeal near a residential cul-de-sac.

His co-defendant, Mohammad Kabir, also an asylum seeker from Afghanistan, who arrived in the UK on Christmas Day 2024, was acquitted of charges of intentional strangulation, attempted child abduction and committing an offence with intent to commit a sexual offence.

A court heard Mulakhil, who arrived in UK four months before the attack, spotted the girl as she played on swings in a park – and was later recorded on a doorbell camera telling her 'you're very small' and asking for her phone number.

Following the conclusion of the trial, the Daily Mail can reveal the rapist was tracked down through the Home Office payment card which had been issued in his name.

Mulakhil sat with his head bowed after he was convicted. He was remanded in custody until sentencing at a later date.

Judge Kristina Montgomery KC warned that he would 'plainly receive a substantial custodial sentence which will automatically make him liable for deportation at its conclusion'.

Details of the 23-year-old's immigration status were revealed by the Mail on Sunday a month after the July attack – leading to an anti-immigration protest in the town centre. But during the ten-day trial, jurors were not told Mulakhil – who arrived in the UK on a small boat – was an asylum seeker.

Outcry after NHS posts advert for Urdu-speaking nurse to help cousins make 'informed choices' about having children together - despite known genetic health risks​

A Manchester NHS Trust has advertised an 'exciting new job opportunity' for a close-relative marriage nurse - to help cousins who are having children together.

The role - now closed for applications - was shared earlier this year in a bid to enable 'informed reproductive decision making'.

The ideal candidate is described as fluent in Urdu and someone who 'values diversity and difference'.

Last month new guidance from the health service said concerns about the risks of congenital diseases are 'exaggerated' and 'unwarranted' on the grounds that '85 to 90 per cent of cousin couples have unaffected children'.

The national average rate for unaffected children is 98 per cent.

Admitting there are some 'risks to child health associated with close relative marriage', the guidance says these should 'be balanced against the potential benefits... from this marriage practice'.

And marrying a relative – fairly common in the Pakistani community – can offer 'economic benefits' as well as 'emotional and social connections' and 'social capital', the document says.

The Manchester Foundation Trust, one of the largest NHS Trusts in England, advertised the Neonatal Nurse position as a fixed-term 12-month contract.

It is one of a number of similar positions being publicised across the NHS, including a Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust role in Slough, 'close relative' midwifery and nursing posts in Bedfordshire Hospitals and at GP practices in Bradford.

Starmer launches class war to save skin: Sir Keir's lurch to the Left as payback for 'loyalty' of Rayner and Co​

Sir Keir Starmer invoked the class struggle yesterday – as he signalled a lurch to the Left to save his job.

After his brush with political death in the wake of the Mandelson scandal, the Prime Minister talked up his humble origins and boasted of his pride in leading 'the most working-class Cabinet in the history of this country'.

The price of the loyalty shown to keep him in post when he was teetering on the brink was already evident yesterday, with the leadership crisis leaving the PM a prisoner of Labour's so-called 'soft Left'.

The PM is expected to rush forward plans within days to give children the vote at 16 – a key demand of Angela Rayner, who eventually swung in behind the PM on Monday.

Ed Miliband suggested Labour is also set to embark on a new class war, with the Energy Secretary – once dubbed Red Ed – saying that the PM was obsessed with the idea of tearing down Britain's class system.

He said the country had not changed 'enough' for the better under the Labour Government and that 'the job for all of us is to work out how to be bolder'.

He acknowledged that the PM had faced a 'moment of peril' on Monday when Labour MPs weighed up whether to ditch him over his decision to appoint Lord Mandelson as US ambassador.

He said Labour MPs and ministers had 'looked over the precipice' before deciding to stick with Sir Keir for now.
