Granted. It was the only reference of it's type that I could find: clearly not the right one.

My google may be weak but I still think the story is a load of shite

We have all tried it on UK pages only and somehow no hits are coming back for the exact circumstances.

Variations including "law student" "attempted murder" "homeless" etc etc are not pinging back either.

ah well, if it isn't on the internet, it can't really have happened. i suggest we rev up the outrage bus and go burn down his cardboard box

I'll give the duty clutch a call, luckily I've already got 3 tins of lighter fluid so I think we should be good to go.

You joke but it's fucking true.

If no fuckers finding it easlily when it stands out as prime Daily Mail green ink fodder you might want to have a look at who this "pooky" character is.

you're right. she's probably been planning this for years!!

Turning up absolutely nothing.

Because its not reported, doesnt mean it never happened, however, I think the story is a crock of shite and the fact something as 'public interest' as this doesnt show up ANYWHERE seems to confirm it as a crock of shite.

Not one part of the story stands up to scrutiny.

Have you met her?

As we all have aquaintances who while other wise being bright have been taken in by online shiseters who push the right buttons with the right stories safe in the knowledge that someone will give in to the guilt and help them pay for that nice summer holiday they were planning.

It's that feeling you get when you see a friend or family member forwarding shit Facebook chain messages to all and sundry, you know it stinks but you don't want to upset them.
