Steve Wright, yesterday convicted of the murder of five women in Ipswich, Suffolk, England, has today been sentenced at Ipswich Crown Court to life imprisonment. The bodies of the five women who worked as sex workers in Ipswich were found around the town in December 2006.
The judge, Mr Justice Gross said that a “substantial degree of pre-meditation and planning” was involved meaning the requirments for a whole life sentence for Wright was met. He said, “This was a targeted campaign of murder. It is right you should spend your whole life in prison.”
Speaking after the sentencing, Deputy Chief Constable of Suffolk Police, Jacqui Cheer said, “At the start of the inquiry we could not have asked for anything more. It is a tribute to all the people who have been involved – not only police officers but their support teams and all the members of the public who phoned-in offering information.”

Green tea extract is an herb that is derived from green tea leaves. The proper name of the Chinese herb is Camellia sinensis. The herb is also known as tea tree, tea plant and tea shrub. Other teas that are harvested from this herb family are white tea, oolong, black tea and pu-erh tea. Green tea extract from the Camellia herb contains many potent antioxidants and is widely used around the world by people who are in the pursuit of good health.
Types of Extracts made from Green Tea
Green tea extract can be purchased and consumed in a variety of different formulas which include:
— Strong infusions. Strong infusions are processed by soaking the green tea leaves in an aqueous solution, or a solution that is water soluble. The solution for strong infusion green tea extract is made with approximately 2 percent alcohol.

— Dry extracts. Dry green tea extracts are processed by dehydrating concentrated strong infusions into a powder. The powder is then processed into capsules, tablets and dry mixes.
— Soft extract. Soft extracts are made from a solution of a strong infusion concentrated with catechin, a crystalline compound. Soft extracts are often used in tea bags.
— Purified extract. A partly purified green tea extract is achieved by using laboratory techniques like chromatography which separates the extract from the leaves. A purified extract is more crystallized and stronger than other green tea extracts.
Green Tea Extract in Food Additives
Because of its health benefits, the extract of the green tree herb is being considered for use in different types of food. These food additives would be included in meat, fish and pork to add antioxidants to the food. Scientists have also considered emulsifying green tea extract and adding it to vegetable oil and animal fats. Green tea extract is currently added to moon cake, a Chinese bakery item that is eaten during their mid autumn festival. The extract improves the flavor of the cake and increases the shelf life.
Contamination Prevention
In Japan, scientists have discovered that tea extracts, including green tea extracts, can be made into dyes that resist microbial contamination. In the future, green tea extracts may be used to eliminate this contamination in apple juice and other food and drinks. Green tea extract also has a strong deodorant quality.
Green Tea Extract and the Metabolism
Over the decades, green tea and green tea extract have been thoroughly studied and researched for its effects on people as well as animals. Some of the many advantages of green tea extract as it relates to health include lowering cholesterol, controlling diabetes and preventing liver disease. It is also a popular supplement for bodybuilders and other fitness gurus. The affect that is has on the metabolism is another reason many people take the extract in one form or another. Green tea extract accelerates the metabolism without overworking the adrenal glands. For otherwise healthy people, this has helped with losing weight. In addition, green tea extract, even in small amounts, has been shown to help to increase energy use in people with thyroid conditions.

Police report drug haul seizure worth up to £30 million in Brownhills, England

Police in the West Midlands in England today said nearly 200 kilograms worth of drugs with value possibly as great as £30 million (about US$49 million or €36 million) has been seized from a unit in the town of Brownhills. In what an officer described as “one of the largest [seizures] in the force’s 39 year history”, West Midlands Police reported recovering six big cellophane-wrapped cardboard boxes containing cannabis, cocaine, and MDMA (“ecstasy”) in a police raid operation on the Maybrook Industrial Estate in the town on Wednesday.

The seized boxes, which had been loaded onto five freight pallets, contained 120 one-kilogram bags of cannabis, 50 one-kilogram bags of MDMA, and five one-kilogram bricks of cocaine. In a press release, West Midlands Police described what happened after officers found the drugs as they were being unloaded in the operation. “When officers opened the boxes they discovered a deep layer of protective foam chips beneath which the drugs were carefully layered”, the force said. “All the drugs were wrapped in thick plastic bags taped closed with the cannabis vacuum packed to prevent its distinctive pungent aroma from drawing unwanted attention.” Police moved the drugs via forklift truck to a flatbed lorry to remove them.
Detective Sergeant Carl Russell of West Midlands Police’s Force CID said the seizure was the largest he had ever made in the 24 years he has been in West Midlands Police and one of the biggest seizures the force has made since its formation in 1974. “The impact this seizure will have on drug dealing in the region and the UK as a whole cannot be underestimated”, he said. “The drugs had almost certainly been packed to order ready for shipping within Britain but possibly even further afield. Our operation will have a national effect and we are working closely with a range of law enforcement agencies to identify those involved in this crime at whatever level.”
Expert testing on the drugs is ongoing. Estimates described as “conservative” suggest the value of the drugs amounts to £10 million (about US$16.4 million or €12 million), although they could be worth as much as £30 million, subject to purity tests, police said.
Police arrested three men at the unit on suspicion of supplying a controlled drug. The men, a 50-year-old from Brownhills, a 51-year-old from the Norton area of Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, and one aged 53 from Brownhills, have been released on bail as police investigations to “hunt those responsible” continue. West Midlands Police told Wikinews no person has yet been charged in connection with the seizure. Supplying a controlled drug is an imprisonable offence in England, although length of jail sentences vary according to the class and quantity of drugs and the significance of offenders’ roles in committing the crime.
