Police arrest man on street for 'feeding birds'
Officers claim the man became "verbally and physically aggressive" while being questioned A man was arrested after police noticed him feeding birds in Ellesmere Port town centre on Friday afternoon. Police in Merseyside on patrol spotted the man feeding the birds on Marine Drive at around 2.15pm on June 27. The local council had raised concerns with police about an increase in vermin linked to the bird feeding, reports the ECHO. When officers attempted to get the man's details, he reportedly became verbally and physically aggressive. He was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence. A video clip shared social media appeared to show a man being restrained by three officers while yelling, "I feed birds, that's my religion" repeatedly. Another police van then arrives, and the man is put into the back of the van. A spokesperson for Cheshire Police said: "At around 2.15pm on Friday 27th June, officers on patrol in Ellesmere Port town centre spoke to a man who was feeding birds in the area. "Local council had previously reported to police that the feeding of the birds was causing an increase in vermin in the area and that they needed the details of the male to speak to him.

Man murdered his dad and then said he 'didn't like him anyway'
A man has been found guilty of murdering his dad. A court heard John Sarawanskyj subjected his dad Ivan, 73, to a "deliberate and sustained attack", leaving him with dozens of injuries at their home on Braemar Avenue, in Southport, in December last year. Later Sarawanskyj visited a neighbour's house and confessed he had "jumped all over his father's head", going on to tell paramedics who attended the scene: "I'm not bothered he's dead. He wasn't a nice man." This assault came amid ongoing arguments concerning money and John Sarawanskyj's dog Zeus, whose death around three months previously had left the 52-year-old "deeply upset". He accused his dad of plotting with vets to poison the American bulldog, following the dog's death, which sparked a "desire for revenge" in him after, reports the ECHO. Having previously maintained that he was not present at the time of his dad's death and suggesting that a third party may have killed his father, or that he had suffered his "extensive injuries" during a fall, Sarawanskyj claimed during a two-week trial at Liverpool Crown Court that he had acted in self-defence during the course of a physical confrontation. However, his account was unanimously rejected by a jury and he was convicted of murder this morning, Friday. Sarawanskyj kept his head bowed in the dock as the verdict was returned after two hours and 25 minutes of deliberations. He will be sentenced back at the same court on Monday next week and was further remanded into custody by Judge Brian Cummings KC until this date. 'I'm not gonna kill my old fella, am I?' Nick Johnson KC previously told a jury of five men and seven women during the prosecution's opening earlier this month: "On Sunday the 22nd of December last year, this defendant kicked and beat his 73-year-old father to death in his own home by delivering multiple blows to his head, his chest and his abdomen. He caused 46 external injuries to his head and neck alone, including bone fractures and lacerations. He caused multiple fractures to multiple ribs and his sternum. "He then told friends and neighbours and police that he was not even in the house at the time. He told them that he had no issues with his dad that day and that his dad was prone to falling over and could have caused the injuries himself, although he let slip to one neighbour, while in drink, that he had jumped all over his father's head. He went on to suggest to the police that someone else might have got into the house and killed him. "The defendant now accepts that he did fight with his father, but says that what he did was reasonable in order to defend himself. However, the evidence not only reveals that the defendant had no significant injuries, as opposed to the very extensive injuries to the much older man, it will also demonstrate an unjustified, deliberate and sustained attack. "There is also background evidence, such as arguments over giving him money for alcohol and a desire for deliberate revenge in the belief that his father had poisoned his American bulldog. As such, the prosecution say that this is a plain case of murder." Mr Sarawanskyj had lived at the address for "a couple of years or more" before being "joined by his son in more recent months", together with Zeus and his other dog, an XL bully called Skye. But they were said to have had a "difficult relationship", with both men having a "history of alcoholism" and neighbours "hearing arguments and swearing on a regular basis". Donna Larkey, who lived opposite the father and son, was said to have heard "loud shouting" from the property in the early hours of December 22 2024, as an "angry" John Sarawanskyj apparently demanded money. Russell Moss, who had known both parties for around three years, meanwhile recalled the defendant claiming that he, another man named Gary Buckley, Ivan Sarawanskyj "and, somehow, the local vets" had conspired to killed 11-year-old Zeus by poisoning him. This was said to resulted in his "behaviour changing" in the months following the dog's death in September 2024. Mr Johnson added: "The prosecution's case is that the defendant was deeply upset by the death of his dog." Upon visiting the Sarawanskyj home at around midday on December 22, Mr Moss found the father "on the floor with a black eye and blood coming from his ear". John reported at this time that Ivan had "fallen over again, the soft c***". When Mr Moss told the son to help his dad up from the ground, he reportedly gave him a cigarette but left him in situ on the floor after adding: "He'll be alright, he'll get up himself. Take no f***ing notice. He's alright. He's staying there." Mr Moss subsequently returned to the address later the same day, finding John "agitated" and "flipping out" but with £90 in cash and some scratch cards in his possession and stating that he "wanted £100 to buy some drugs". When the visitor went on to enquire about Ivan, Sarawanskyj was said to have replied: "No, he's f***ing down there." Mr Johnson told the court: "That was when Mr Moss saw the deceased lying between the bed and the wall. Mr Moss immediately knew that something serious had happened. He panicked and wanted to leave, but the defendant said that he was concerned about his dog and then pushed Mr Moss into the wall. "Mr Moss was frightened and made an excuse, saying that he needed to go see his friend but that he would be back. The defendant warned him not to say anything." Sarawanskyj later knocked on the door of Christopher Caldwell, his next door but one neighbour, at around 9pm and allegedly made a "remarkable confession" by telling him: "He's dead, my dad. I jumped all over his head. I didn't like him anyway." Shortly after 11.30pm, Sarawanskyj went on to visit Mr Buckley's home on nearby Eden Avenue and told him: "He's dead. I don't know what to do." Mr Buckley then returned with him to Braemar Avenue, at which stage he saw Ivan "clearly dead" on the floor next to the bed and called 999. Sarawanskyj later answered the door to paramedics upon their arrival shortly before midnight, telling them: "He's dead. I know he's dead, but you can come in and take a look." The "intoxicated" defendant went on to state he was unsure when he had last seen his dad alive and said he had been "out all day", adding: "I'm not bothered he's dead. He wasn't a nice man." Ivan Sarawanskyj was meanwhile found with "multiple injuries" in a bedroom, where the walls, floor, side tables and mattress had been left "covered in blood". His son went on to tell police at the scene that he had last seen his dad alive at around 8am, adding: "I've been to town today, check the CCTV footage. He's a drinker right, I go out. I'm not gonna kill me old fella, am I?" Officers also discovered a bloodstained sponge and cloth around the kitchen sink before arresting Sarawanskyj on suspicion of murder. While being searched by PCs, he maintained "I've done f*** all" and "complained that he had just lost his dad, but that officers were being aggressive". Sarawankskyj later told detectives during the first of three interviews that he "hadn't got a clue what had happened, he just discovered him when he got home" and "claimed he had spent the day walking around Southport with his dog". He detailed how he had "had arguments with his dad in the past, but nothing major" and that his dad "would get angry now and again when in drink" but that he would "just get out of the way". During a second round of questioning, Sarawanskyj said that his father "always got bevvied and fell over" and stated that the front door was "always ajar" while the back door was "insecure". He then gave a prepared statement during a third interview, saying: "I have no recollection at all of having any type of falling out with my dad on the 22nd of December. My memory is not good at all. I can't remember when I last saw my dad alive. "As soon as I found my father lifeless, I went to my neighbour for help. I do not believe that I hurt my dad. However, my dad was a drinker and has fallen out with a lot of people. I question whether someone else has attacked him." 'It was like I was in some kind of trance' Giving his evidence to the court last week, under questioning from his counsel Ben Myers KC, Sarawanskyj said that he had thrown his dad into a doorframe and kicked him during a physical confrontation, with the deceased having apparently thrown punches at him and tried to bite his leg. He told jurors: "It had been revving up all morning. He was casing me to go the shop from about half 5, 6 o'clock in the morning. "I think it set him off after I come back from the shop with a can for myself. I remember paying cash out of my own pocket, but I never had enough to get my dad one." Sarawanskyj recalled his father calling him a "good for nothing b*****d of a son" and "John the B*****d", describing him as "going crazy". He added: "He would call me all kinds. It's sad in a way, it becomes acceptable. It becomes an acceptable life, when you're going through it every day." When Mr Myers asked how this had left him feeling, Sarawanskyj, referring to alleged incidents of abuse at his dad's hands as a child, said: "I get feelings like when I was a kid, when he used to brick our windows and beat my mum up. "He come at me, grabbed me. I pushed him and said 'leave me alone'. I went into the bedroom. Then he's come by the bedroom door and he's gripped me and tried to punch me. I've grabbed him, and then I threw him then. "I did throw him with some force like, because he'd come back and tried to punch me. I knew the threshold of his anger had raised a lot since Zeus died. I was trapped in there. "The dog's acting erratic, the XL bully, coming in and out like a rocket, spinning round and spinning back out, erratic like. I was worried for her too like. Every time my dad got angry, she'd retreat to the bathroom and wouldn't come out of there. Obviously, because she was scared. "I goes away into the bedroom. His anger got even worse, erratic. He was shouting his head off. I felt I needed to get out of there, fast. I knew my dad would use violence, that's why. "I went and got the dog's lead and went, 'I'm getting out of here'. I know when it's time. As soon as it starts, I usually get straight out and go. I'll have the dog on the lead and get out the way. That's what I tried to do. I get the dog's lead from the bedroom. His behaviour was erratic, banging about, I think throwing things, definitely banging, shouting all kinds, angry. "I've gone back into the living room to get her on the lead, so I could get out. As I'm doing this, my dad's called me all kinds, shouting all kinds, b*****d this, b*****d. All kinds, stuff like that. "There was a few objects threw. I've turned round. Before I knew it, a punch has been threw. There's bits of things getting threw. My head's everywhere. I've turned round, I've just grabbed him. There's the kitchen doorway there. "I've grabbed him like that and, with quite a lot of force, I've just grabbed him, threw him. I've done it to go through the kitchen, but he didn't go that way. His head smashed against the frame like. "He was on the floor. His head took a nasty bang. That's when he fell to the floor. His head took a bit of a bang off the floor when he went down. My dog's acting erratic, so I've gone to grab my dog and he's grabbed my leg, trying to bite my leg as I was trying to grab my dog. "It's not the first time he's gone for a bite. I kicked him to the stomach, maybe all over his chest and stomach, I don't know. I done more than one kick. I don't know how many. I'd say a couple, to get him off me like." Mr Myers put to him: "If you had to try to explain what you did to your dad, what explanation would you give to why you did this? Why did you use the violence you did?" Sarawanskyj replied: "He's always mentally and physically battered me, throughout my life. Even though I was loyal to my dad, there was not many times when he was being a dad or anything. "The mental part of it was worse than the physical, in a way. I think I'd rather be battered than what he done to me mentally. What he's done to me every day of my life and everything, it's bound to impact me." Sarawanskyj said he then helped his dad onto his bed in the living room, cleaned a cut to his ear using a sponge and gave him whisky and cigarettes before taking his dog, Skye, for a walk to Southport town centre. He said of his dad's condition at this time: "My dad was alive. He was smoking. He could talk. I knew his face was swollen and that. I had no idea he had inside injuries at all like. Otherwise I would have phoned an ambulance, obviously." Having returned around two hours later at around 6.30pm, he recalled: "I got back from town. I went through the back door. I went through the bedroom. I never seen him. He weren't on the bed. I thought he'd gone out. I don't know. I come in and went, 'where's he gone?' "I did eventually [find him] after checking the kitchen and bathroom. I went through back to the living room and saw his trainer sticking out of the bed. I noticed his feet were sticking out. He was at the side of his bed, on the floor." Mr Myers asked whether he "knew what state he was in", to which Sarawanskyj said: "I think he was dead like, he was dead. I was in shock. I was in shock, just sat in the back room. "It's like I was in a trance and that. I only done something about it when I snapped out of it. I snapped out of it and thought I'd best go and report it. It sounds mad like. It was like I was in some kind of trance or something, where I was somewhere else like, and I've snapped out of it, come out of it. I don't know what I was thinking and that."

Pregnant Women Issued Drinking Water Warning
Pregnant women have been advised to use water filters by experts who spoke to Newsweek after a study found levels of arsenic in water systems considered safe are impacting birth outcomes, A national study led by researchers at Columbia University evaluated risks from 13,998 pregnancies across 35 cohort sites participating in the National Institutes of Health's Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) program, and published its findings on the medical journal site JAMA Network last week. The researchers discovered that prenatal exposure to arsenic was associated with a higher likelihood of babies being born preterm with lower birth weights, factors that they said are important "predictors of infant mortality and morbidity across the life span." This was the case even at the level of exposure the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) currently deems safe, 10 micrograms per liter, a regulation that was established in 2001 and has not been changed since. Arsenic is a natural element found in soils, sediments, and groundwater, meaning it can feed into public drinking water systems. While this study highlights concerns of arsenic exposure in relation to pregnancy and birth outcomes in particular, the contaminant poses health risks to any individual. In the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) toxicology report on arsenic, the agency notes, "it is widely accepted that arsenic is carcinogenic," and that "numerous epidemiological studies have examined associations between exposure to arsenic in drinking water and various health outcomes." "Arsenic can cause a variety of cancers, including cancer of the bladder and urothelium, gastrointestinal tract, kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, and skin; as well as cardiovascular effects, and neurologic effects," Brett A. Poulin, a professor in the Department of Environmental Toxicology at the University of California, Davis, told Newsweek via email in response to the study. States also have different exposure levels, the study said, with Michigan, South Dakota, Nevada, and California all having areas with levels of higher than 5 micrograms per liter of arsenic in drinking water systems. "Arsenic levels tend to be higher in drinking water that comes from groundwater sources, such as community wells or private household wells," Poulin said. "In many cases, the arsenic comes from natural minerals in the aquifer—especially in regions with sedimentary rocks or glacial deposits that contain arsenic-bearing materials." He added that people living in areas that depend heavily on groundwater, and have geology rich in arsenic-containing sediments, are more likely to have elevated arsenic in their drinking water. Asked whether the agency believes the level of arsenic exposure considered safe needed to be updated following the release of the study, an EPA spokesperson told Newsweek that determining a safe level of exposure requires a consideration of implementation and cost, as well as public health. "The Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) established under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) is set at zero for arsenic," the spokesperson said. The MCLG is identified in the act as the maximum level of a contaminant in drinking water at which "no known or anticipated adverse effect on the health of persons would occur, allowing an adequate margin of safety," they added. However, MCLGs are "non-enforceable public health goals," the spokesperson said. "MCLGs consider only public health, therefore, they sometimes are set at levels which water systems cannot meet due to technical limitations." The spokesperson said the act requires the EPA to set the enforceable Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) "as close as feasible to the MCLG taking cost into consideration." Therefore, in its determination of a MCL of 10 micrograms per liter of arsenic exposure, the EPA had to evaluate the impact on costs and on public health, in a "health risk reduction and cost analysis." The spokesperson added that the EPA regularly reviews National Primary Drinking Water Regulations and "evaluates whether there are new peer reviewed health assessments for a contaminant." According to the spokesperson, in July 2024 under the Biden administration, the agency "completed the fourth cyclical review of drinking water regulations and determined that arsenic was not a candidate for revision at the time." "The Biden Administration noted that a regulatory revision for arsenic was not appropriate because the reassessment of the health risks resulting from exposure to arsenic was ongoing," the EPA spokesperson said. Although, in light of the study, Poulin said: "One thing the EPA must consider when revising MCLs is feasibility of achieving a more stringent MCL." "There is no such thing as completely safe water, whether it is bottled or tap water," Marc Edwards, a professor in civil and environmental engineering at Virginia Tech, told Newsweek. Although, he added this new research should be "considered in future revisions of the regulated arsenic level." Given the impact of even accepted levels of arsenic exposure on pregnancy and birth, experts have advised expecting mothers at risk of higher exposure to use water filters. "In situations with high risk of lead or arsenic, filters are recommended," Edwards said. "Waters with elevated arsenic are relatively rare compared to the problem of lead, and can be identified by reading your water companies consumer confidence report," he added. "This research underscores our responsibility as a society to protect the health of pregnant women," Marci Lobel, a professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Medicine at Stony Brook University, New York, told Newsweek. "Clearly, we must reduce arsenic levels in public water supplies," she said and advised pregnant women to filter their water if possible. Although, Lobel added that "pregnant women should not be unduly alarmed," as despite the study's findings, which are a "serious concern," the impacts are "not large." "We should consider the results of this important study in the context of what we already know about reducing health risks for pregnant women," she added. "It is well known that pregnancy is a highly vulnerable time for environmental exposures to have an impact on pregnant women and their babies," Natalie Exum, a professor in the Department of Environmental Health and Engineering at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, told Newsweek. She added that she was "concerned" about the findings of the study, and that they indicate that the "current regulation set in the Safe Drinking Water Act may not be protecting maternal and child health." "If you are pregnant and living in an area where there are detectable levels of arsenic in the drinking water, it would be best to use a filter that removes the arsenic to non-detectable levels," she said.
