See the heart-stopping moment AFL star's car is used in string of alleged violent robberies that saw man attacked with a machete
A Jeep registered to Western Bulldogs star Jamarra Ugle-Hagan has been involved in an alleged violent crime spree. The vehicle was driven to several shops in Melbourne's south-east on July 19, where a gang armed with machetes allegedly entered venues at Keysborough, Cheltenham and Dingley Village between 7.30pm and 8.50pm, stealing cash and cigarettes. At 9pm, CCTV captured the alleged offenders brandishing a machete as they accosted a shop attendant and customers at a Braeside petrol station. The staff member armed himself with a metal pole and bravely tried to fight back, before he was violently thrown to the ground. Victoria Police confirmed the group then fled in the Cherokee and were soon spotted a short time later in Chelsea. A pursuit followed, with stop sticks deployed in Doveton, but the car continued driving on its rims before it was later dumped in Collingwood. The four occupants then ran from scene, police said. Western Bulldogs star Ugle-Hagan, 23, was later questioned by police and cleared of any wrongdoing. The AFL club are aware of the incidents - and remain satisfied Ugle-Hagan is not involved. At the time of Saturday's armed robberies, the footy star's car was not reported as stolen. The Jeep Cherokee is now in the hands of police. In June, another vehicle reportedly owned by Ugle-Hagan - a Toyota utility - was involved in a separate drive-by shooting. Multiple shots were fired at Doug Lee, 71, at his Glen Iris home in a case of mistaken identity. Meanwhile, Ugle-Hagan's playing future is unknown as he endures ongoing mental health and personal issues. The full forward has been previously been linked to a move to the Sydney Swans, but he recently suggested a move interstate is unlikely. 'I still want to play for them (Bulldogs) and win a flag,' Ugle-Hagan said. 'It's the Bulldogs until my contract runs out (2026) and then hopefully they offer me another one, but we will see how we go. 'They have given me opportunities since day dot.'

Moment ‘pathetic' Bryan Kohberger gets brutal insult-ridden dressing down from victim's sister who demands he ‘sit up'
THE older sister of Kaylee Goncalves, one of the four University of Idaho victims, unloaded on killer Bryan Kohberger in her impact statement, demanding he "sit up straight" when she was speaking. Staring directly at her sister's killer, Alivea Goncalves delivered a powerful statement, stripping down Kohberger as a "delusional, pathetic, hypochondriac loser" who thought he was "so much smarter than everybody else." 7 7 7 7 7 "My sister Kaylee and her best friend Maddie were not yours to take. In a world that rejected you, they would have shown mercy," Alivea said moments after her father, Steve Goncalves, delivered his impact statements. Alivea stood tall and unloaded on Kohberger, ripping him to shreds for now "begging the courtroom for scraps," before he was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole. "You act like no one can ever understand your mind, but the truth is you're basic," she said. "You're a textbook case of insecurity disguised as control. Your patterns are predictable. Your motives are shallow. You are not profound. Don't ever get it twisted. "No one is scared of you today. No one is intimidated by you. No one is impressed by you. No one thinks that you are important. "You orchestrated this like you thought you were God. Now look at you, begging a courtroom for scraps. You spent months preparing and still all it took was my sister and a sheath." 'SIT UP STRAIGHT' As Kohberger sat slightly slouched, motionless without any reaction to her words, Alivea demanded that her sister's killer "sit up straight when she's talking." "Some of these might be familiar, so sit up straight when I talk to you," Alivea snapped at Kohberger before she pressed him with a series of questions. "How was your life before you murdered my sisters? Did you prepare for the crime before leaving your apartment? Please detail what you were feeling and thinking at this time. "Why did you choose my sisters? Before making your move, did you approach my sisters? Detail what you were thinking and feeling. Before leaving their home was there anything else you did? Bryan Kohberger stares in silence as Idaho murder victims' brave surviving housemate breaks down over horror of attack "How does it feel to know the only thing you failed more miserably at than being a murderer was trying to be a rapper." Alivea continued, "You worked so hard to seem dangerous, but real control doesn't have to prove itself." "The truth is, the scariest part about you is painfully average you turned out to be. "The truth is, you're as dumb as they come. Stupid, clumsy, slow, sloppy, weak, dirty. Let me be very clear, don't ever try to convince yourself you mattered just because someone finally said your name out loud. The full details of Bryan Kohberger's sentence On July 23, 2025, Judge Steven Hippler sentenced Bryan Kohberger to the following: Count 1: Burglary - 10 years fixed, zero years in determinate. $50,000 fine. Count 2: First-degree murder of Madison Mogen: Fixed term of life in prison without the possibility of parole. $50,000 fine and civil penalty of $5,000 payable to the family of the victim. Count 3: First-degree murder of Kaylee Goncalves: Fixed term of life in prison without the possibility of parole. $50,000 fine and civil penalty of $5,000 payable to the family of the victim. Count 4: First-degree murder of Xana Kernodle: Fixed term of life in prison without the possibility of parole. $50,000 fine and civil penalty of $5,000 payable to the family of the victim. Count 5: First-degree murder of Ethan Chapin: Fixed term of life in prison without the possibility of parole. $50,000 fine and civil penalty of $5,000 payable to the family of the victim. The sentencings will run consecutively to one another. "I see through you. You want the truth? Here's the one you'll hate the most, if you hadn't attacked them in their sleep, in the middle of the night like a pedophile, Kaylee would've kicked your f**king ass," Alivea concluded as an applause broke out from some in the courtroom. Alivea described to NewsNation that she saw Kohberger clenching his jaw while she spoke to him and that it seemed like he was "forgetting to blink." TEARFUL STATEMENTS The statements ranged from furious takedowns directed at the killer to tearful stories of the traumatic aftermath of the murders as Kohberger sat, barely blinking, in an orange jumpsuit, chained by his wrists and waist. Dylan Mortensen, one of the two surviving roommates of the four victims, sobbed as she stood on the podium in the courtroom steps away from Kohberger and said she hadn't slept a night since. 7 7 "He is a hollow vessel, something less than human. He may have taken so much from me, but he will never get to take my voice," she said through tears. Bethany Funke, the second surviving roommate, was the first to address the court through a victim impact statement read by Emily Alandt, one of the friends of the four victims. In a gut-wrenching message, she said that she didn't call the police because she was disoriented and didn't understand what had happened. "If I had known, I of course would have called 911 right away," she said, saying she carries guilt for not knowing they were killed, even though she knows it wouldn't have changed anything. "The fear never really leaves. Every day I remind myself to live for them," Funke's statement read. Steve Goncalves slammed his daughter's killer as "careless and foolish." "Master's degree? You're a joke, complete joke," the father said as he stared directly at Kohberger. "In time, you will be nothing but two initials, forgotten to the wind. No visitors, nothing more than initials on an otherwise unmarked tombstone." When asked by the judge if he had a statement to make, Kohberger said, "I respectfully decline." Someone from the courtroom audience was overheard calling him a 'coward," according to The New York Times.

Families of the victims of the Idaho college murders stared down Bryan Kohberger, delivering powerful impact statements as he was sentenced to die in prison for the 'senseless slaughter' of the four students. The 30-year-old will spend the rest of his life behind bars, after being handed four consecutive life sentences and an additional 10 years for burglary, without parole. Kohberger broke into the off-campus home of Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, in the small town of Moscow during the middle of the night and stabbed the students to death as most of them slept on 13 November 2022. Kaylee's sister Alivea Goncalves told Kohberger: "If you hadn't attacked them in their sleep, in the middle of the night, like a paedophile, Kaylee would've kicked your f***ing ass."
