UK’s youngest Crime suspect, just 3
A toddler was investigated by the British police over alleged disorder and vandalism
London : A three-year-old boy has become the youngest known crime suspect in Britain after being probed by police over alleged disorder and vandalism.
Officers from Strathclyde police in Scotland visited the toddler’s home this summer after receiving a complaint of damage to household property.The youngster is one of 10 children aged five and under who were investigated since May for a variety of alleged crimes.
The news, which comes amid increasing concern in Britain over criminal behaviour among minors, was described by a leading opposition MP as "a clear manifestation of the first signs of offending"."These instances underline the very deep social problems we have in some parts of the country. It is part of the very complex picture we call broken Britain," said Chris Grayling, the home affairs spokesman for the conservative party.A six-year-old was arrested on suspicion of robbery in June this year and three young boys, aged 12 and under, were arrested last week on suspicion of committing a sex attack on two young boys.Another two boys, aged 12 and 10 caused outrage recently after they tortured two other boys in a bloody and remorseless attack.Figures obtained by the Sunday Times this month show that more than 6,000 offences have been committed in Britain by children under 10 over the past three years.
These include nine-year-olds accused of rape and eight-year-olds believed to have caused grievous bodily harm. Other alleged offences included possession of knives, assaults, theft and burglaries.-IANS

SCIENTISTS ATTEMPT ‘HUMAN SACRIFICE’ JUNIOR COLLEAGUE ESCAPES IN NICK OF TIME
Gwalior:A junior scientist of Defence Research and Development Establishment (DRDE) here escaped an alleged attempt of human sacrifice by
two of his seniors, the scientist’s wife has alleged in a police complaint here.
'My husband escaped unhurt after two of his seniors amid chanting of "mantras" allegedly made a futile bid to "sacrifice" him three days ago, junior scientist Sushil Kumar Sharma's wife Shridha Sharma told police. A top official said.
Shridha told police that senior scientist of DRDE, Dr M Kameshwar Rao rang up her husband and called him to his place at the DRDE’s Raksha Vihar colony late on October 6 night saying he was not feeling well, Additional Superintendent of Police (West Region) Manohar Verma said. When Sharma reached Rao’s residence, he saw another senior scientist Dr A S S V Bhaskar doing some puja, the complaint stated, adding that Bhaskar asked Sharma to wait for a while as he had some work with him, Verma said. While waiting, Sharma dozed off and woke up when some water was sprinkled over him. My husband turned panicky when two of his seniors holding sharp-edged weapons drew closer to him reciting some "mantras", Shridha’s complaint stated, the ASP said.
When Sharma tried to flee, the two senior scientists got hold of him and a scuffle ensued. In the meantime, Sharma raised an alarm, following which the colony’s watchman appeared on the spot and taking advantage of this, my husband escaped, the complaint said.
Shridha’s complaint sated that V N Bhardwaj, Dr Santosh, Keshav Soni and other occupants of the colony had seen her husband escaping.
When the police asked Shridha about the delay in approaching them, she told them that the two scientists had threatened her of dire consequences if she informed the police about it, sources said.
Police have begun investigations into the complaint, Varma said, adding that they will go by the book.
