An Islamic boarding school teacher is lucky to avoid death penalty or chemical castration as he was instead jailed for life for raping thirteen pupils and impregnating nine of them in Indonesia. The judge said that teacher Herry Wirawan had sexually groomed the 13 girls, who were between 12 and 16 years old, and impregnated at least nine of his victims, some of whom suffered injuries from the rapes.

  Emiliano Sala's mother has revealed that her son felt 'in some doubt' about leaving Nantes for Cardiff before his tragic death in a plane crash.  Argentinian striker Sala died in January 2019 after the private aircraft he was travelling in crashed into the English channel off the island of Alderney. The 28-year-old had just secured a transfer from Ligue 1 Club Nantes to Premier League side Cardiff City, and was travelling to Wales after returning to the west of France in order to collect belongings and bid farewell to his team-mates.

He died before he made an appearance for Cardiff, and supporters of both the Bluebirds and his former club in France paid tribute to him by leaving scarves, shirts, and flowers outside of their respective stadiums. Sala’s body was found by deep-sea investigators...
