Shocking footage of killer’s violent rampage in London, released


Chilling footage which shows weapon-wielding killer Nicholas Salvador, 25, strolling through a north London suburb during a violent 45-minute rampage in which he beheaded a great-grandmother, has been released.
 The paranoid schizophrenic was captured on police helicopter camera storming through back gardens in Edmonton, north London, after attacking 82-year-old Italian cafĂ© owner Palmira Silva with a machete.
Before the ferocious attack on the elderly woman, bare-chested Salvador - whose nickname is Fat Nick - had beheaded two cats, just three doors away from where the elderly woman lived At one point, the 25-year-old strode towards a driver who was sitting in his car and threatened him with the weapon, forcing him to flee from the scene.


The footage released yesterday only shows us a few minutes of what happened, but in it we see Salavador knocking over fences and eventually going into somebody’s home.
Reports suggest that he thought he was killing supernatural beings.

 

Seconds after killing Mrs Silva, the heavily built 6ft killer also came within just a few feet of two children who were playing in their back garden, who had to be desperately urged away by police. His rampage was so ferocious that armed police began smashing windows to rescue residents, warning them to run for their lives amid fears of a further attack.
 Despite putting himself in serious danger, one officer - who was later praised for his heroic actions - even jumped onto a roof and desperately urged the young children to scramble to safety.
 In the audio recorded alongside the CCTV, an officer could be heard saying: 'He's agitated and lethal ... he needs taking out.' The court heard how Salvador, a cage fighter, believed he was killing supernatural beings - including Adolf Hitler 'back from the dead' - when he began his killing spree
last year.

 

The footage was shown to the jury, just metres away from where Mrs Silva's family sat in the public gallery. But the final moments of Mrs Silva's life had been edited out because it was deemed too distressing.
 The family, who had been in court during the trial, wiped away tears as the Recorder of London Nicholas Hilliard QC said that Salvador had killed the elderly woman with 'extraordinary brutality and ferocity'. He said: 'You thought you were encountering some demonic force which had taken on a human form. You could not have been more deluded.

 

 'It is a mercy that she can have had no time to begin to comprehend what was going on. This gentle, intelligent 82-year-old lady should have been able to live her life in peace and with security, proud in the achievements of others, but that was not to be.'
 The footage showed Mrs Silva, who was wearing an apron, approaching Salvador over her garden wall. After a brief exchange, the defendant was then seen climbing into her flowerbed, where he stabbed her repeatedly and beheaded her.
The judge said that 'nobody could forget the mild and trusting way' that Mrs Silva had approached Salvador over the wall while he was clutching a knife. After the attack, the court heard how Salvador showed signs of mental illness, repeating phrases like 'red is the colour' and 'I am the king' over and over again.
The jury was told how he believed Mrs Silva was a supernatural entity.

 

 The killer and his victim... The officers pursuing him are unarmed, with the one you see climbing on the roof to warn the children to leave the garden being commended for his bravery. “We genuinely thought he would kill those children and we were filled with utter terror.” Inspector Doug Skinner said.
 When police finally cornered him they had to Taser him six times before he became subdued Salvador was found not guilty on the grounds of insanity.
Two psychiatrists judged him to be suffering paranoid schizophrenia. and was legally insane when Mrs Silva died. A Jury yesterday found him not guilty of murder on the grounds of insanity. He will be confined in a high-security psychiatric hospital for life.

Convicted rapist discharged of Jail terms due to acid disfiguration in payback



Donny Ray Williams, a former congressional aide and Obama staffer was spared jail time last Friday April 4th after he pleaded guilty to drugging and sexually assaulting two women, including a former intern. He was spared jail time because sometime in 2013, someone attacked him with acid that left him disfigured for life. Guess the court figured he had received enough punishment because many believe the acid attack was a pay back for the rapes, though he claims the boyfriend of a woman he was dating did it to him.

According to reports, Donny Ray Williams, who was once a staffer for the Senate Homeland Security subcommittee, slipped Ambien into the drink of an intern in 2010 before having sex with her while she lay unconscious. That same year, he had sex with a woman too inebriated to give her consent, prosecutors say. Despite admitting his guilt in December, D.C. prosecutors on Friday asked that Williams be spared prison time because he is himself the victim of a crime - the effects of which will mar the remainder of his life, Washington Post reports.
The decision to give Williams a suspended jail sentence and 5 years probation - which Judge Robert E. Morin reluctantly agreed to - came despite one of his victim's request he be given 'some jail time.' 'He gave me a random dose of drugs and risked my life,' the woman argued in a letter read in D.C. Superior Court last week. The woman had just moved to Washington as an intern. She initially warmed to Williams because she believed he could help her get a leg up on Capitol Hill. 'After the assault, I moved away, and he continued to harass me and threatened me to drop the charges. This crime has caused me fear, pain and a financial burden,' she wrote.
The other woman Williams raped was not present for the sentencing, during which Judge Morin said Williams 'was a victim of an independent crime and has serious medical issues.' Williams' own attack occurred in 2013 as he walked down a Washington street. A man approached him and tossed acid in his face that dripped down his body, he told the Post. 'I thought I was going to die,' Williams recalled Massive second and third-degree burns put him in the hospital for two months, blinded him in one eye and nearly blinded him in the other.
Williams believes the jealous boyfriend of a woman he was dating was behind the assault, the Post reports. Much of his face is now gnarled and disfigured and he currently has a massive lump at the top of his skull where doctors have surgically implanted a rod that stretches his skin in order to promote healing. He's undergone some 20 surgeries and still faces more 'life threatening surgeries.
