Thug biker killed OAP crossing road with walking frame in horror 50mph smash
A BANNED driver killed a retired school janitor by ploughing into him at speed as he crossed a road using his walking frame.
Steven Starrs struck William Brown, 81, on a stolen motocross-style bike at 50mph then fled the scene as he lay dying.
The OAP was fatally injured and died later at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, the High Court in the city heard.
Cops traced lifelong criminal Starrs three days after the crash to a pal’s flat in Whitburn, West Lothian.
He was hiding under a pile of clothes in a bedroom.
The coward today pled guilty to causing death by dangerous driving while disqualified in nearby Blackburn, and getting behind the wheel of a car two days later.
The court was told widowed dad-of-two William had been heading to meet pals at the town’s bowling club when he was struck last July 12.
Paying tribute, prosecutor Alex Prentice KC said: “Mr Brown was well known in the community.

“He was loved and respected by pupils and teachers alike.
“Mr Brown loved bowling but had to give up playing due to his health.
“However, he loved to meet his friends at the club.”
The court heard Starrs’ criminal record stretched back to his teens.
He was previously caged for firearms and drug supply charges.
Appearing via video link from prison, Judge Lady Ross told him: “This is a deeply concerning case which has caused grief and harm to Mr Brown’s family.”
She deferred sentence until next month for reports.

Cheryl Tweedy terrorised by convicted killer stalker who turned up at home three weeks after Liam Payne’s funeral
CHERYL Tweedy has been stalked by a convicted killer who turned up at the home she shares with her son Bear.
The singer has secretly been facing a stalking hell which has continued even after the tragic death of her former partner Liam Payne.
Daniel Bannister, who killed a man in an attack at a homeless hostel, has been convicted of causing the Girls Aloud star “serious alarm” after going to her country mansion in Buckinghamshire.
Bannister was sent to prison for manslaughter for 30 months after he attacked a man who died of his injuries in 2012.
The 49-year-old has been found to be “displaying fixated, obsessive, unwanted and repetitive behaviour” towards Cheryl which he knew would cause her distress.
He was put behind bars for four months in September for an offence in July and handed a three-year restraining order meaning he cannot contact Cheryl, enter Buckinghamshire, or attend her address.
But in December he is alleged to have returned to her house in the country she shares with seven-year-old Bear, court documents show.
Bannister, who has no fixed address, has been charged with breaching his restraining order by entering the county of Buckinghamshire on December 10.
He is then said to have turned up at “an address where you knew or believed Cheryl Tweedy was present”, which is another separate breach.
Bannister also attempted to contact Cheryl either directly or indirectly, which he was prohibited from doing.
Bannister pleaded guilty to the three offences in December and has been sent back to prison before his sentencing on January 30.
In 2012 Bannister pleaded guilty to manslaughter at Kingston Crown Court after assaulting 48-year-old Rajendra Patel at a south London YMCA shelter.
Following the alleged attack in February of that year, Mr Patel returned to hospital on March 9 and died the following day.
A post-mortem report gave the cause of death as pulmonary thromboembolism, deep vein thrombosis of the left thermeral vein, and a fracture to the left ankle.
Bannister, who was 37 at the time, was due to go on trial for murder but the Crown Prosecution Service accepted the lesser plea of manslaughter.
The two men, who both lived at the shelter, were said to have an ongoing feud at the time of the attack.
CCTV showed Bannister punching and kicking Mr Patel in the hostel as the victim went towards a lift.
Jailing Mr Bannister, his honour Judge Nicholas Price said in 2012: “This is a tragic case. When you attacked Mr Patel you did not intend to cause serious bodily harm let alone cause death.
“But the attack undoubtedly goes beyond one punch, it is a sustained attack or more or less 30 to 40 seconds.
“It is clear you are not a danger to the public, but it is inevitable that you must serve an immediate custodial sentence.”
He was sentenced to 30 months in prison on October 9 2012.
The stalker hell comes after Cheryl had to up her security when she was performing in 2:22 A Ghost Story on the West End last year.
Her team were said to be on “red alert” after she was left menacing messages with flowers outside the theatre.
Cheryl’s former partner Liam tragically died aged just 31 in Buenos Aires, Argentina after falling from his third floor hotel balcony.
At the time the Girls Aloud star said in an emotional statement, Cheryl previously said: “As I try to navigate this earth shattering event, and work through my own grief at this indescribably painful time, I’d like to kindly remind everyone that we have lost a human being.
“Liam was not only a pop star and celebrity, he was a son, a brother, an uncle, a dear friend and a father to our 7 year old son.
“A son that now has to face the reality of never seeing his father again.”
She added: “Before you leave comments or make videos, ask yourself if you would like your own child or family to read them.
“Please give Liam the little dignity he has left in the wake of his death to rest in some peace at last.”
Inside Liam Payne and Cheryl's romance
By Joanne Kavanagh, Showbiz Reporter
It was a romance that caused a media storm.
One Direction hunk Liam Payne was only 14 when he met former X Factor judge Cheryl during the show in 2008.
But it wasn’t until 2016 – when the Girls Aloud singer was divorcing her second husband – that the pair got together despite their ten-year age gap.
The couple made their relationship official in May of that year when they appeared at Eva Longoria’s Global Gift Gala in Paris.
In 2017, Liam paid a sweet tribute to his girlfriend by getting a tattoo of her eye on his arm.
Cheryl was pregnant at the time and gave birth to a boy on March 22, 2017.
She posted a picture on Instagram of Liam cradling their 7lb 9oz baby and captioned: “On Wednesday Liam and I became parents to an incredibly beautiful, healthy baby boy looking like a dream.”
One pal told The Sun: “Liam didn’t leave Cheryl’s side throughout the birth, and like her, he is besotted with their new son and can’t wait to take him home.
“This is the perfect Mother’s Day for Cheryl.”
The Sun revealed in May 2017 that the couple named their son Bear.
They decided on the unusual name after spending a week getting to know him.
In February 2018, The Sun broke the news that Liam’s constant travelling to promote his solo career had placed a huge strain on the relationship, and the pair were ready to split.
That same month, Cheryl said “none of it matters” as she shrugged off questions about her crumbling romance with Liam during a BBC Breakfast interview.
They then put on a united front together at the Brit Awards where they smiled on the red carpet and Cheryl joked about the couple’s ‘safe word’.
However, by July 2018, Cheryl and Liam made the decision to split.
A pal told The Sun: “Cheryl and Liam worked really hard on their relationship – they had troubles earlier this year and were able to get through them.
“But they’re in different stages of their lives and, after a lot of careful thought, came to a decision that it’s best for everyone if they do go their separate ways.”
Liam and Cheryl released a statement confirming their break-up which read: “We are sad to announce that we are going our separate ways. It’s been a tough decision for us to make.
“We still have so much love for each other as a family. Bear is our world and we ask that you respect his privacy as we navigate our way through this together.”
I’m an extreme cheapskate mum – I love when it snows as it’s free water for my family to wash in, I revamped a for £49
A MUM has shared her extreme money-saving tips, but it’s her water hack that’s really turned heads.
Becky Giles, who’s all about being frugal, revealed that she loves it when it snows because it gives her free water for her family to wash in.
She also bragged about how her money-saving methods helped her renovate her bathroom for just £49.
Since becoming a stay-at-home mum, Becky has found creative ways to save money as she works to renovate her family’s 100 year old house.
She now prides herself in being “the most frugal mum in America.”
Talking in a TLC documentary, she revealed that she fills up buckets “with snow to melt and use for water” as “water from the sink actually costs money.”
She adds: “The heat we use to warm the house will also be used to heat the buckets so that we can have warm water.”
Becky can take “anything in the entire world and figure out a way to get it for 80 to 90% off or even free.”
Becky, who shares two children George and Colton with her husband Jay, used to split the bill with her husband in a “very specific way” when they first started dating.
When the pair first had their son Goerge, Becky managed to save $30,000 (£24,500) to $32,000 (£25,800), which allowed her to become a full-time mum.
She says: “I’ve maintained that mindset for seven years now.”
Becky and her family have been living in their family home for two and half years but they have “no furniture” because she “only buys things if they’re cheap.”
She painted her bathroom herself with her friend, and painted the floors herself as well.
In total her bathroom cost her £49.
Showing off her bathroom, she says: “If I had paid someone to do all this, it would easily have cost $2,000 (£1,600).”
Becky explained that her dishwasher in her kitchen has been broken for “a little over a year” and some of her “cupboards don’t shut all the way.”

She says: “I got so mad at one that I super glued it shut.”
However, many people don’t agree with her style of living and took to YouTube to share their thoughts and they had questions to ask.
One wrote: “As a former professional organiser I taught people how to live frugally as well as getting rid of a lot of stuff not needed.
“This woman is way over the line. It’s one thing to save money but when it comes to neglect, it’s no longer safe. Is she boiling that water from the snow?
“How much does it cost to heat that huge house? Why not live in a much smaller house or tiny? Not impressed!”
A second added: “I love that she will use snow which really isn’t safe for consumption and says that water is too expensive even though her clothes look like they are expensive.”
Whilst a third said: “There’s a difference in being cheap and fixing stuff that needs fixed. Fix your cabinets and dishwasher. No reason for some of this.”

Scrapping the BBC’s discredited ‘Verify’ would save licence-payers a fortune with no downside
Try freedom
FACEBOOK’S scrapping of its left-wing “fact-checkers” is a long overdue victory for free speech. When can we expect the BBC’s discredited “Verify” outfit to go too?
For years the social media giant skewed its content for the Left, relegating or deleting conservative posts and even colluding with the US Democrats.
Often, harmless material was censored and posters needlessly banned for wrongspeak.
But with Trump’s re-election, Mark Zuckerberg has changed his tune. Now Facebook will let users post “community notes”-style context, as on Elon Musk’s Twitter.
Musk’s instinct, to promote free speech and counter misleading material not with “checkers” prone to bias but with MORE free speech, is the right one.
What now, then, for BBC Verify?
The corporation brags that this 60-strong unit is the gold-standard of fact-checking, as if admitting its actual reporters can’t be trusted.
In reality Verify’s own pro-Labour, anti-Israel bias is just as blatant as it is throughout much of the corporation.
Closing it would save licence-payers a fortune with no downside.
And that’s a fact.
Justice denied
ALL the guilty council officials and cops who enabled the grooming gang rapists are breathing easier today . . . thanks to our Government.
There will be no full public inquiry naming those who turned a blind eye to this monstrous, decades-long scandal.
No resultant prosecutions. No justice for thousands of girls whose young lives were wrecked. No nationwide probe to grasp for the first time the scale of an atrocity which may be ongoing.
Keir Starmer whipped his party to defend the indefensible.
The previous review in which he places such faith avoided the central issue: Of mostly Pakistani-origin men raping mostly white girls as a left-liberal establishment ignored it through paranoia about “Islamophobia”.
Ordinarily Labour loves public inquiries, albeit only if they will damage Tories. Even now, they are committed to one into violence between police and miners under Maggie Thatcher in 1984.
But not this one.
Which only adds insult to the vulnerable children hideously and unforgivably failed by the State’s multicultural obsessions.
Stop the hate
THE anti-Semitic, pro-Hamas, Islamist hate marchers insist they are not anti-Semitic, pro-Hamas, Islamist hate marchers.
That they merely want peace in Gaza.
So why march past a synagogue on Saturday while a service is going on?
How can Mayor Sadiq Khan claim London is open to all when Jews feel unsafe even in their place of worship?
The Traitors in most savage twist yet as Jack is axed again just moments after return as TWO more co-stars are banished
THE Traitors aired its most savage twist ever as returning contestant Jack was AXED just moments after making a shock comeback to the show.
Three show stars made a dramatic comeback to the programme after initially being booted off within the opening moments of the series.
As part of a shocking twist, Fozia, Jack and Alexander were all seemingly booted from the game after sacrificing themselves.
However, it was revealed that the three of them had all been kept in hiding as they arrived back to the game a week later after boarding the ‘rail replacement service’.
As part of the day’s mission, the three axed stars were suspended in the sky and locked in cages in a scene that one star admitted resembled the “Salem witch trials”.
Host Claudia then confessed that the three stars were all now eligible to re-enter the game but that one star would not make it and would sensationally be axed AGAIN.
It was up to the current players to decide which of the stars to help out as they were required to collect gold coins in order to lower their cages from the sky and back down onto the ground.
The current players had to deposit gold coins into the stars they wished to save and Fozia landed on the ground first.
Alexander followed leaving Jack dangling in the air at the end of the mission.
It meant he had been booted from the game once again despite only just having made a comeback.
Responding to the brutally savage twist, Jack remarked: “I’m gutted but I’m happy for them both.
“It was a wake-up call as to how brutal The Traitors can be.”
Elsewhere, the episode kicked off with Maia being murdered by Traitors Minah and Linda after her sister Armani was brutally exposed as a Traitor in the previous episode.
With that revelation leaving Maia in shock, it exposed that she was a Faithful to the rest of the group.
Clever Minah and Linda then worked out this meant the 25-year-old would never be banished at the round table and as such they needed to murder her in order to get her out of the game.
The group were left stunned when Maia failed to walk into the breakfast room the following morning as they reeled in the news that the two sisters had been given the boot on the same day.
The episode saw a THIRD shocking exit as 33-year-old doctor Kasim was brutally ousted from the programme by his fellow players.
Amid suspicions, Kas was banished by his co-stars.
Speaking after he was banished, he said to his co-stars: “It’s been fantastic and you are all fantastic people.”
Ahead of his exit, Kas was left downcast as his co-stars began to want to not speak to him leaving him feeling “isolated” after they “didn’t want to speak to [him]” about anything.
In a heartbreaking admission, Kas admitted being left out had “happened before” as was left saddened at his fellow Faithful’s refusing to believe that he was one of them.
Although they still opted to eliminate him from the game, some of his co-stars apologised for making him feel ostracized over the past few days.
