If the owners of Jumbo hired a towing company to move the restaurant and didn’t ensure the company didn’t have adequate insurance coverage, that’s their own fault. Towing companies have multiple types of insurance like any other cargo carrier. Insurance for the vessel itself, and for the cargo it’s hauling.

Fucking hell.
How can that have gone on for 3 years?

Because nobody would make the decision to kick the door in and I include the neighbours in that. If there’s a bad smell and flies, it’s fairly obvious what’s inside.

I can understand the other residents not doing it - that can cause all sorts of problems for them regarding being evicted, nd the chances of getting other social housing. But if the Peabody had received 50 emails about the issue, surely at least 1 person in there must have enough brains to realise that something must be wrong - plus concidering rent wasn’t getting paid - you would think the local council would have had red flags for not getting their money coming in

It stopped smelling once the blue bottles had finished and it had dried out.
A lot of poo?
I didn’t see that in the article, could easily have missed it though.
Could have been being paid by direct debit and as the dead woman wasn’t officially dead she would be recieving her pension or what ever probably directly into her account. At least that’s my guess, unless all those letters were from the owner?
that’s fucked, may be the first time I’ve seen a person murdered like that while on video.
Under the clip of them removing the body
Residents became increasingly concerned when letters began to pile up in the letterbox of the woman, who locals say owed thousands of pounds in rent, and when they spotted a forced entry notice for a gas check on the door of the flat in 2020.

A dead body doesn’t smell like poo.
I was looking for something from the landlord, neighbours say lots of silly things.
So the gaz people didn’t force entry?
Still an amazing story and not the 1st in England either, I remember a similar one some years ago.

So the original story posted in Feb, reported on here 4 days ago and makes it to the BBC yesterday (Thursday).
Horrific as this is, this really deserves to be seen more widely. Teenagers and young men need to see how immature, petty verbal abuse can be stupidly escalated when engaging in non self defence violence - especially with a knife. One very unfortunate connection has almost instantly killed and wrecked countless lives over some irrelevant taunts I bet everyone involved is already struggling to remember let alone care about.

When you gotta go, you just gotta go…
Sometimes when nature calls, there’s just nothing you can do about it. Like if you’re sitting in the cockpit of an F/A-18F fighter jet, cruising along at 30,000 feet, and your body decides that now is the time to evacuate your lunch of lobster and coffee.
During a deployment to the Arabian Gulf, Mackay was piloting an F/A-18 during a late night training mission to practice employing High Speed Anti-Radiation Missiles.
As Mackay wrote, he had spent the afternoon dining on steak and lobster, as well as plenty of coffee, and had already taken care of some pre-flight “‘bubble guts’” to avoid a situation like, say, shitting oneself in the cockpit. Mackay’s digestive system apparently had other plans.
“As soon as we started accelerating at about three times the force of gravity, I felt something move in me,” he wrote. “When I took the controls I immediately had the thought that this might be a long hour and a half.”
“I simply relaxed, and let the warmth spread across my seat. It was so hot, it felt like a hot tub. It bubbled and oozed and was revolting but strangely comforting,” wrote Mackay.
Momentarily relieved of his gastrointestinal distress, Mackay of course now had to alert the aircraft carrier of the sticky situation onboard the plane. Recalling an older incident in which a pilot tried to remain vague, Mackay chose the blunt approach.
“I simply said: ‘This is the pilot in aircraft 202. I **** my pants. I need a cleanup crew.’”
Unfortunately, the pants-shitting was not over, as it happened to Mackay again on the return flight.
And, on his first landing attempt, Mackay’s aircraft flew over the arresting wires on the flight deck – known as a bolter – further extending this now extremely wet and foul smelling ride.
“I had leaned forward in my seat expecting the wires to stop me, but when they didn’t, my butt hydroplaned backward in my seat like a Zamboni cleaning up a wet ice rink,” wrote Mackay.
When he eventually landed the plane, a humbled Mackay was met by his roommate, towel and replacement flight suit in hand. There was nothing left to do but make the long walk to the restroom and clean up.
