With her arms blackened and heavily bruised, she was dropped home.

She continued: 'I remember feeling absolutely rotten. What had happened didn't really hit me until about five days later.

'My head was still swimming from the after effect of what he had given me.

'I just felt like it was my fault, that I was stupid to have let myself get into that situation. I blamed myself.

'Not knowing exactly what had happened to me made that all worse.'

 'He is a vile human being and I hope he dies in prison so he cannot hurt anyone else.'
-Phillips' victim, after her attacker was jailed

It was the following day when, feeling particularly unwell, she went to accident and emergency as Southampton General Hospital.

She promptly broke down, begged for help, and told doctors she did not know what had happened to her. They called police.

Phillips was arrested and charged within a matter of hours.

She added: 'Whenever I've had to think about it, it has made me sick.

'I still do not know the full extent of what he did to me and what happened on that night.

'I used to be a very trusting person who would see the good in everyone, now I find it hard. I almost became a recluse and now struggle to form any friendships.

'I was just lucky that I had the people I did to help me through it and to give me a new focus, especially my mum.'

The woman believes she is not the only victim of Phillips, who had bragged about relationships and encounters with other young women.

Urging them to find the courage to come forward and speak to police, she said: 'I would urge anyone in my situation to be brave, come forward and speak out.

'I didn't do it just for me, but for other girls who have not been able to find that courage yet.


 'You told her she had chosen to have nine hours of sex instead of going to the concert.'
-Judge Mrs Justice Levy, who jailed Phillips

'I have some measure of justice, although no sentence will ever be enough for what he did to me.

'He is a very dangerous, clever and manipulative person who will twist anything to get his own way - a vile human being.

'My hope now is that he dies so he cannot hurt anyone else.'

Judge Mrs Justice Levy jailed Phillips for 11 years.

She told him: 'She suffered two or three seizures outside in the car park, but you did not seek medical assistance because you were worried you could not stay in the hotel.

'You told her she had chosen to have nine hours of sex instead of going to the concert.

'She did not remember anything of the things you talked about. It came as a complete shock to her.'

This week Phillips admitted possessing class B and class C drugs at his Lucid head shop in Southampton, three years ago.

He had sold them as legal highs called 'Giggle' and 'Magic', Southampton Crown Court heard.

Judge Richard Hill jailed Phillips for 18 months and told him: 'You were warned that Giggle and Magic were no longer legal but nevertheless you carried on selling them.'

The shop is now under new management.

His victim, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, collapsed in court while giving her evidence and still suffers nightmares.

Speaking after the case, she said: 'He is a vile human being and I hope he dies in prison so he cannot hurt anyone else.

'He picked me up from home that day and we set off in his car.

'We got onto the M3 and the last thing I remember was the sign for the A34. I started to come round the following morning and had no idea what had happened.

'I remember feeling contorted, like I was on a boat. I could barely walk. Everywhere, including all the bedding, was covered in blood.'

She recalled how she felt 'sick and confused' as she sat in the passenger seat of his car and he told her some of what she had supposedly agreed to in bed the previous night.

But she could not remember a thing.

She added: 'I was stunned because he was saying that he was glad I didn't feel weird about what had happened.

'He actually said to me: "Sometimes girls might cry rape".'

LAGOS: Police on the hunt for businessman who tied apprentice for 10 days without food


When Thankgod Nwabisi, 23, left his village in Adani, Uzo-Uwani L.G.A of Enugu State to serve as an apprentice to an auto -parts dealer in Ladipo, Lagos, popularly called Elopee, members of his family heaved a sigh of relief, believing that their only child was making a positive headway in life.

Little did they know that the secondary school holder will end up being traumatized by his master. He was thoroughly tortured, tied with ropes and dumped inside a room in the master’s house for about ten days without food or water. According to him, he was accused of not reconciling their sale’s book properly resulting in the loss of N4,000.

The ugly incident which took place at Number 1, Bisi Yusuf area, Kainde in Ayobo, a suburb of Lagos State, aroused the anger of their neighbours who promptly alerted policemen on patrol from Ayobo division and they swiftly responded. The eagle-eyed policemen reportedly broke into the premises after making frantic calls without response while the agonising cries of pain was coming from one of the rooms in the house.


The victim lying on the bare floor inside the kitchen.

When they succeeded in gaining entry into the building, they were shocked to see a 23-year-old boy, tied hands and legs and dumped like an animal in one corner of the room. He had bruises all over his body and his head was smeared with caked blood. They quickly rescued the poor boy and while searching the house, they saw a female teenager who claimed to be a relation to the wife of his master and they took all of them to their station for questioning.

His plight:

Police sources said while narrating his plight, the boy disclosed that his master, Elochukwu Ikwueze, is from Akama-Oye in Eziagu L.G.A. of Enugu State. According to sources, the boy signed agreement to serve the man for seven years, and he had already served five years. They were living in a two-room apartment at Number 43, Eyegun street, Mafoluku, Lagos before his master got married and moved to his own house at Ayobo. They normally spent weekdays at Mafoluku but always spent weekends in the man’s house at Ayobo.

The boy narrated that on Sunday, 25th of September, while they were at Ayobo, they all embarked on cleaning the house and it’s surroundings in the morning. They continued with the exercise till evening and when he requested for food, both his master and his wife ignored him.

He said his master later started questioning him about their sales the previous day and he explained everything to him. “He complained that about N4,000 was missing from a sale of N28,000 we made but I explained everything to him yet, he insisted that the money was missing. Later, I went into my room .

Few minutes later, he came into the room, armed with a huge stick and started beating me. He called on my second and both of them tied my hands and legs with a rope, dragged me into the kitchen and locked the place up. I was abandoned inside the kitchen for about three days until I noticed that somebody slipped a plate of food through an opening to me.

Hungrily, I ate the food. I was defecating and urinating inside the same place until seven days later when the pains became unbearable. I then started crying and raising my voice, calling for help. It was then that I knew that the small girl living with us, a relation of my master’s wife, was also left in the house and she was the person that slipped food into the kitchen for me.

How he was rescued:

“After sometime, I overheard people shouting at out gate, calling for the door to be opened. Later, they broke into the premises and I saw they were policemen. They rescued me and took both of us to their station where I narrated all that happened to me.”

Crime Guard gathered that after Policemen broke into the house, they found the female teenager in the parlour. She led them to the kitchen where they saw the boy, tied like a goat with splashes of his urine and excreta all over the room. The divisional Police officer, Musa Lariski reportedly directed his men to quickly rush the boy to the nearest hospital where he was giving proper medical attention beofore he was brought back to the station.

It was learnt that since then, all efforts made by detectives to trace the owner of the house and his wife yielded negative results.A team of policemen were also said to had gone to his shop at Ladipo market only to discover that he had not shown his face since the the boy was rescued from his house. It was gathered that one of the market leaders assured the police that they will trace his whereabouts and bring him to the station.

Meanwhile, when Crime Guard had a brief encounter with the distraught boy, he was crying and lamenting the fate that befell him. In tears he said, “My fear is that he has my identity card and he may fram me up. I did not take even a kobo from his money, he was only trying to avoid settling me after my stewardship.

That is how he has been treating all the boys that suffered for him, he will frame you and deny you reaping the reward of your stewardship. Whatever happened, I am happy with the police for rescuing me alive. Who knows what could have happened to me later,” he questioned.

Kent: Dozens of people injured in accident involving over 130 vehicles



Dozens of people have been injured as more than 130 vehicles were involved in a series of crashes in thick fog on the A249 Sheppey crossing in Kent.
Eight of those hurt in the collisions, which took place at about 07:15 BST, have serious injuries.
Early reports said 200 people had been hurt, but police later revised the figure.
Firefighters said they had freed five people from their vehicles on the southbound carriageway.
One witness said visibility had been very poor at the time of the crash but drivers were approaching the crossing with no lights.
Others at the scene described a mass of tangled cars, lorries, and a car transporter. Some reports said the crash went on for 10 minutes as cars continuously collided with each other.
Driver Martin Stammers said the scene was “horrendous” and described seeing cars under lorries and people lying on the floor.
He said visibility was about 10 to 20 yards when he approached the bridge and saw five cars smashed into each other with one across the outside lane.
He said he managed to squeeze through a gap between that car and the central reservation, he said.
“For 10 minutes afterwards, all we could hear was screeching, cars thudding into each other, lorries crashing,” he added.
He said he and his son ran to warn other drivers and warn cars to slow down.
“Later, a woman came up to us sobbing saying, ‘thank you, thank you, you saved my life’,” he said.
‘Smashed cars everywhere’
Jaime Emmett, a 19-year-old student who was driving through the fog, said she managed to stop in time but a van collided with her car, and she then hit a car in front.
She said the fog was so thick she could only see a few cars ahead but added: “All I could hear was the cars smashing in front of each other and I could not know how far ahead the accident was.”
Later she said she could see “smashed cars everywhere”, a lorry that had crashed into the central reservation, and ambulance crews helping injured people with one team carrying a man in a stretcher.
Ch Insp Andy Reeves said the crash was over a “protracted area” with undamaged vehicles between others which had collided.
The injured people were taken to six different hospitals.
‘Hazardous fog’
When asked if the fog had caused the crash, Mr Reeves said it was “too early” to give a cause but added the “weather will be a factor”.
“It was... very hazardous. It was described to me as a very thick fog and it was certainly low visibility at the time.”
He said he expected the crossing to remain closed in both directions for the whole of the working day, including the evening rush hour.
The front of the crash happened where traffic was coming off the bridge towards Sittingbourne, and it had then “concertinaed” over the bridge behind it with incidents stretching back to Queenborough, he said.
Mr Reeves said there could also be a small number of incidents on the northbound carriageway.
Police said if people had to make essential journeys to the island they could use the old Kingsferry Bridge, but should expect long delays.
Sittingbourne and Sheppey MP Gordon Henderson said he had previously had concerns about lighting on the bridge and said he would be asking questions of the authorities about the accident.
He added: “Today my concerns must rest solely with the people that have been injured on the bridge.”
The £100m four-lane crossing, which connects the Isle of Sheppey with mainland Kent, opened in 2006 and is 0.75 miles (1.25km) long and rises to 115ft (35m) at its highest point.
