Teenager with ‘unhealthy interest' in knives guilty of 18-year-old's murder
A balaclava-clad teenager who had an 'unhealthy interest' in knives, and grinned before fatally stabbing an 18-year-old man through the heart with a Rambo-style knife, has been found guilty of murder. Charles Hartle, who was 17 at the time, carried out the 'utterly pointless killing' when he attacked Noah Smedley on a dark street in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, on the evening of December 28 last year, with the knife he kept hidden in his tracksuit bottoms. Hartle, of Station Road, Stanley, was found guilty of murdering Mr Smedley on Friday, after a two-week trial at Derby Crown Court, Derbyshire Police said. Prosecution counsel Adrian Langdale KC said that as Hartle moved towards Mr Smedley, he 'grinned or smiled before deliberately aiming for and stabbing him in the chest'. The court was told that Hartle and his friends had arranged to meet Mr Smedley, who arrived at the scene on an electric scooter and sold them cannabis. Mr Langdale said the defendant regularly carried a Rambo-style knife for 'the kudos and bravado' and to show others he was a 'big man'. Derbyshire Police said Hartle, who liked to go by the nickname Lil Cee, went to meet his girlfriend at a house party after stabbing Mr Smedley in the heart. Witnesses at the party reportedly saw him confess to her what he had done and produce the knife, which has never been recovered. Hartle then travelled to Derby city centre to distance himself from the scene, where Mr Smedley had been found by members of the public at about 8.20pm. He was pronounced dead just before 9pm. In the hours after the murder, Hartle disposed of his clothing, the knife, and his phone, before eventually handing himself in at Ilkeston police station. In a prepared statement given to police, Hartle said he accepted inflicting the injury on Mr Smedley but felt he had acted in self-defence. He said: 'There is a history to this, and Noah and I did not get on. He has, in the past, made numerous threats to me and made disparaging comments. He has threatened me with violence. 'I was petrified that he was about to lunge at me. In that split second, I instinctively lashed out with the knife I had, in self-defence.' Detective Constable Emma Barnes-Marriott, of Derbyshire Police, said: 'Noah was an unarmed teenager, who was simply meeting with friends on the night Charles Hartle decided to end his life. 'Noah did not threaten Hartle and showed nothing but friendliness towards him that evening, and yet he was brutally murdered. 'Charles Hartle is a callous and calculating young man, who has shown no recognition or remorse for taking another teenager's life. 'He carried a knife with the intention to use it, over what appears to be a petty disagreement that only he was aware of, and a sense of bravado. 'I'd like to thank Noah's family for their support during our investigation and the trial. 'No family should have to go through the ordeal of losing a loved one, especially at such a young age, and to have to relive their last moments at trial is an additional blow that Hartle could have spared them from. 'Instead, despite overwhelming evidence, he remained silent and refused to take responsibility for Noah's murder. 'I know that nothing will bring Noah back but hope that today's verdict has provided his family with some comfort that justice has been done.' Hartle will be sentenced at Derby Crown Court on August 22.

2 charged in connection with Eagan street racing crash that killed 2
Two people face charges in connection with a high-speed crash that killed two young men, which authorities said occurred during a street race. Melody Little, 24 of West St. Paul, and Jordan Weiland, a 20-year-old from White Bear Lake, are each charged with two counts of third-degree murder and two counts of criminal vehicular homicide, according to court documents filed Thursday. The fatal crash happened in Eagan, Minnesota, on June 14. According to a criminal complaint, responding police found three vehicles: a Jeep that was split in half, a Honda with "significant damage" and an undamaged Dodge. Investigators said the three vehicles were going from a "car meet up" in South St. Paul to another in Eagan when the Jeep and Honda lost control on Highway 55. Both went over the concrete median, and the Jeep hit a pole. Police identified Little and Weiland as the drivers of the Dodge and Honda, respectively. Weiland left the scene in another vehicle and police later found him at a hospital, the complaint states. Both people in the Jeep — 19-year-old Reed Schultz and 18-year-old Finnian Cronin — were unresponsive and taken to a hospital. Schultz died shortly after arrival, and Cronin died of his injuries on July 1. Witnesses told police the cars were going more than 100 mph before the crash and presumed they were racing. Videos taken inside the Dodge and Honda confirm each car was going about 110 mph, the complaint states. Little and Weiland both denied they were racing when interviewed by police, though Weiland "agreed that his actions were eminently dangerous," the complaint states. Finnian Cronin's mother Teresa Cronin said his death "is just earth-shattering and life-changing for all of us." The family has received an outpouring of support from the community. "One night, driving home from the hospital, I said to Teresa, 'Do you have any anger towards anyone?' And she said, 'No, I just, my heart breaks for the parents of the other kid,'" said Finnian Cronin's father, Chris Cronin. "Just a terribly unfortunate thing that happened to a bunch of kids that made a poor decision." Note: The video above originally aired July 21, 2025.

A West Jordan spokesperson confirmed with that firefighters responded to the fire just before 10:30 a.m. While the scene remains active as of 12:15 p.m., the spokesperson confirmed the fire is out. The spokesperson confirmed there were people inside the home at the time of the fire, but could not say how many were inside the home or their ages. One witness reported to that at least one patient had been taken to a local area hospital by helicopter, though the city spokesperson was unable to officially confirm that information. Images courtesy Bayan Wang and Wendy Toale Brandon Toale, a resident of the neighborhood, said he saw flames coming out of the multi-story home and firefighters attacking the flames from the outside.
