Fantacist murderer Torbjorn Kettlewell has 'abnormality of mind' and even his own brother is disgusted by him

'Crackers' was the word used by Torbjorn Kettlewell's barrister to describe the killer's personality.

Richard Wright QC was summarising the findings of two psychiatric doctors who both found Kettlewelll has an 'abnormality of mind'.

One of the doctors reported that during a consultation Kettlewell began beating himself about the head, causing bruising.

His mental abnormality was apparent at an early age, according to Kettlewell's brother, Michael, who gave evidence at the trial.

"He disgusts me," said the off-shore worker in a statement read to Teesside Crown Court.

"Not just because of what he did to Kelly, but because of the way he has always been.

"We have never got on as brothers should.

"He is manipulative, thinks highly of himself, and thinks he is always right."

Michael Kettlewell said his brother was obsessed with knives, and had stabbed him in the back with a butter knife when they were children.

"He is also obsessed with the Army," added Michael Kettlewell.

"He wears army clothes and tells people he served in the Army.

"I know for a fact he was never in the Army."

Kettlewell injured one of his three children when an air weapon he was cleaning discharged compressed air into the child's face.

This led to all three children being taken into care.

"Typically, he blamed Ms Franklin for that," said prosecutor Jami Hill QC.

"His manipulative nature was further illustrated by his sending Facebook messages to Ms Franklin pretending to be Julie Wass, while at the same time sending emails as himself.

"He was gauging Kelly's reaction to the messages, playing one off against the other.

"At every stage he was trying to exert control."

It was when Ms Franklin began resisting his controlling attempts that Kettlewell formed the intention to seriously injure, if not kill, her.

"He was clearly frustrated that he appeared to be losing the hold he formerly had on her," said Me Hill.

"This was the ultimate case of 'if I cannot have her, no one else will'."

The court heard another of Kettlewell's obsessions was computers.

He would spend hours playing games and even adopting the name - Torbjorn - of a video game character.

But for all his many personality flaws, the killing of Kelly Franklin was not foreseen.

"There may have been lots of showing off and bravado." said Mr Wright.

"But no one who has spoken in this trial thought Mr Kettlewell would harm anyone."

Her fetus have abnormality, this woman underwent a surgery for her baby which still inside her worm

News24xx.com - A woman in the UK claimed that she had undergone a fetal repair surgery after finding her baby diagnosed with spina bifida, a birth defect that affected her spine. Quoted from the BBC, doctors gave Bethan Simpson (26) three choices: continuing her pregnancy, stopping her pregnancy or doing a fetal surgery, which is to operate her before she was born. She chose the third, making her as the the fourth woman in Britain who have voted for that option.

The Mayo Clinic site says that spina bifida occurs when the spine and spinal cord are not properly formed and will later affect the baby's brain and spinal cord and surrounding tissue. In the process, the doctor opens the Bethan uterus to reveal the baby's buttocks, then they 'sew' a small gap between the lower back bone and rearrange the position of the nerve.

The operation that lasted four hours ended in success. "The surgery is successful. The lesions are small. I felt weak and painful as long as the baby fine it's all ok" Bethan wrote on her Facebook. Dominic Thompson, the neurosurgeon who led the operation explained that the procedure was not to cure but looking at previous trials had indicated that with earlier surgery the baby could be better.

Jon Jones issues statement after UFC 232 move, test abnormality: 'I'm a clean athlete'

By: Matt Erickson and John Morgan | December 23, 2018 9:40 pm

In the wake of today’s surprise announcement that UFC 232 has been moved from Las Vegas to California after an “atypical finding” in a Jon Jones drug test, the former champ has issued a statement.

Jones (22-1 MMA, 16-1 UFC), who fights Alexander Gustafsson (18-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC) in the UFC 232 main event, and who is coming off a 15-month suspension for a failed drug test – his second – said he’s “a clean athlete,” and that has been proven by drug testing.

“I am focused on achieving my ultimate goal of reclaiming my light heavyweight title,” the statement from Jones, released to MMAjunkie today, reads. “I have willingly submitted to every USADA test in the lead up to this fight, and USADA has confirmed what I’ve been saying all along, that I’m a clean athlete. I sincerely thank the California State Athletic Commission and Andy Foster for doing the right thing and supporting me through this process. I cannot wait to fight Alex Gustafsson this Saturday, Dec. 29 at The Forum in Inglewood.”

Jones subsequently tweeted out the statement, as well.

UFC 232 was supposed to take place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday with a main card on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass. It now will take place at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif., near Los Angeles, instead.

A drug test admininstered by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency on Dec. 9 found a trace amount of Chlorodehydromethyltestosterone (DHCMT), or turinabol, in Jones’ system. Jones tested positive for that same substance in 2017 after he won the title back from Daniel Cormier at UFC 214. He received a 15-month suspension from USADA, which was negotiated after he agreed to give the organization asisstance in other cases.

His suspension ended earlier this fall, clearing him for the UFC 232 rematch against Gustafsson for the 205-pound title currently held by Cormier. Cormier is scheduled to be stripped of the title after a winner is declared Saturday, at which time he will be only the heavyweight champion and no longer a dual champ.

For once, Dana White goes to bat for Jon Jones after UFC 232 moveTwitter reacts to Jon Jones' 'atypical' drug test finding, UFC 232's move to CaliforniaIt didn't take long for Daniel Cormier to weigh in on Jon Jones and UFC 232 (Updated)

The fight was moved from Las Vegas to California, ostensibly because the NSAC does not have proper time during a holiday week to investigate the details of Jones’ test in order to clear him to fight. But the CSAC is familiar with Jones’ prior positive test and was willing to approve a license for him to fight. The NSAC has scheduled an evidentiary hearing with Jones in January to determine his status in the state going forward.

UFC VP of Athlete Health and Performance Jeff Novitzky said Jones’ positive test is not a USADA violation, but rather the organization believes the test is a “pulsing” effect from the past positive result and not a new ingestion of the substance. Novitzky said the amount of turinabol metabolites in Jones’ system in low “picogram” levels, equating it to if a grain of salt was split into 50 million pieces, and Jones having single and double-digit levels of those picograms.

Jones was the light heavyweight champion until April 2015, when he was stripped of the belt after a hit-and-run accident. He pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident and was put on probation, as well as suspended indefinitely by the UFC.

In April 2016, he beat Ovince Saint Preux for an interim light heavyweight title while Cormier was injured. It set up a rematch with Cormier, whom he had beaten at UFC 182 to defend the title, but who had gone on to win the belt Jones had been stripped of. But at UFC 200, three days before the fight, Jones was removed after testing positive for a banned steroid. He was suspended for a year and stripped of the interim title in November 2016 – making him the first fighter in UFC history to have a title stripped twice.

He returned at UFC 214 in July 2017 and stopped Cormier with a third-round knockout to win back the belt. But several weeks later, Jones tested positive again for banned steroids. His title was stripped – again – and returned to Cormier. He settled on a 15-month suspension from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).

This time, there’s no USADA violation, but it still likely will be another talking point for Jones’ detractors.
