‘The souls I have taken': Baby-faced gangster carried heart on his sleeve

Most people save their credentials for their résumé, but slain underworld player Athan Boursinos carried his criminal bona fides etched on his skin for all to see. 'The souls I have taken will never haunt me, only the ones I haven't,' a tattoo on the left side of the 21-year-old's neck read. The quote, which was also tattooed on the chest of murdered Sydney gangster Hamad 'the Executioner' Assaad, held a near prophetic meaning for Boursinos, who was gunned down in a laneway behind his family home in Melbourne's outer north on Thursday morning. He was leaving his home to appear in court over a series of weapons, theft and driving charges. Etched on his body were also insignias of criminal organisations from around the world. 'Omerta', the word used to describe the code of silence of criminal groups like the mafia, was tattooed on his torso, wedged between a blade and a large cross running down his chest. One photograph shows a teardrop outlined underneath one of Boursinos' eyes, a symbol commonly associated with American gang and prison culture that can represent time served behind bars, acts of violence, loss or the taking of a life. The baby-faced gangster also carried his heart on his sleeve – the name of his fiancee, Sanaria Rofael, was tattooed in big red capital letters on his upper arm. A grieving Rofael took to social media on Friday to pay tribute to Boursinos, 'the best soul' and 'angel', through a series of photographs and videos shared on her Instagram stories.

WA woman banned from owning pets for 10 years

A Port Kennedy woman who left her dog and cat unattended at home for more than a week has had her pets seized and banned from owning another for 10 years. Kaylee Pearl Miller, 34, was also convicted of animal cruelty, fined $8000 and ordered to pay costs of more than $2500 after neighbours reported the situation to RSPCA WA in February. Two-year-old Flash at the property before being seized. Credit: Supplied When an inspector visited the property, they saw a white cat confined inside the house, seemingly without access to food or water. The inspector lowered food to the two-year-old cat named Flash through a partially opened window before using a ladder to enter the backyard, where they found a one-year-old American staffy named Adonis, with his ribs visible. The inspector and other RSPCA staff members returned to feed the animals during the following days and saw no evidence that Miller had returned. The RSPCA obtained a warrant to enter the house and both Flash and Adonis were seized. Miller told the inspector she had been going to the house to attend to the animals but had been getting in through a window because the door was locked. Adonis was seized by RSPCA WA. Credit: Supplied In sentencing, magistrate Brian Mahon said Flash and Adonis experienced an unnecessary situation of neglect. 'Without intervention over a number of days by the RSPCA, they may not have made it,' he said. 'You enter into pet ownership voluntarily and you accept the responsibility. Miller was aware of her situation and overlooked her obligations.' RSPCA WA inspector manager Kylie Green said the sentencing sent a strong message about pet ownership responsibilities. 'You can't just walk away and leave your animals without the care they need,' she said. 'Owners have an obligation to make sure their pets are properly looked after at all times, in all circumstances.'
