The murder of Mary-Ann Leneghan.
 |  |
Revised slightly 2007 January 5th
On Friday the 17th March 2006 five men were found guilty of the murder of the young 16 year old girl Mary-Ann Leneghan.
By the morning of Saturday 18th March 2006, the next day, this news was not seen as important enough to be found on the BBC news main front page.
Instead it could be found on the BBC UK news page Five guilty of Mary-Ann's murder [Friday, 17 March 2006, 17:12 GMT] relegated to the text listing More from the UK.
Google News UK at the same time had the guilty verdict story as it's fouth news item.
The BBC article on the guilty verdict begins:
"...Five men have been found guilty of murdering Mary-Ann Leneghan after she was kidnapped, raped, and tortured..."
it continues with it's detailing of the story somewhat sparse in contrast, for example, to the Scotsman newspaper article Five guilty of torturing girl to death.
My question is how important does the BBC deem this story, especially in comparison to another particular killing; that of Anthony Walker.
Also whether the BBC purposely hid any mention of 'race' in the Mary-Ann murder.
Firstly perhaps it is best to remember some of the exact facts of the two killings:
| Fact | Mary-Ann Leneghan | Anthony Walker |
| Date of murder | Saturday 7th May 2005 | Friday 29th July 2005 |
| Age when murdered | 16 - Girl | 18 - Man |
| Child murdered by Adult(s) | Yes | No |
| Killed by another 'race' | Yes | Yes |
| Victim known to Killer(s) | Possibly | No |
| Male murder of a female | Yes | No |
| Single or Multiple murderers | Multiple | Single |
| Planned or Spontaneous act | Planned | Spontaneous act |
| Short or prolonged | Prolonged | Short |
| Sexual abuse or Rape | Sexual abuse and Rape | No |
| Torture | Tortured | No |
The table needs no explanation; while Anthony Walkers killing was a simple, short, man-on-man killing, Mary-Ann Leneghan's murder was a prolonged and depraved act of bestial evil.
Looking at the BBC's first reports the difference in the nature of the killings is not reflected:
The very first BBC report on Anthony Walkers killing immediately plays the 'race' card with:
Student dies in racist axe attack [BBC - 2005 July 31st]
With later reports trying to imply some form of 'group' guilt:
Shame and sorrow at senseless death [BBC - 2005 August 2nd]
(Also in which a highly paid BBC journalist makes the suprising discovery that English people live in Huyton in England with the line "...home to some 40,000 people, Huyton is predominantly white...")
The reports of Mary-Anns' murder on the BBC make no mention of 'race' at all:
Abduction fear over murdered girl [BBC - 2005 May 8th]
Though there may have been rumours circulating in Reading:
Murder police hold public meeting [BBC - 2005 May 12th]
Whereas other reports from other media sources, before and during the trial, do give some clues as to there being some racial element to the murder.
The Telegraph - 10th May 2005:
"...the men are of varying descriptions and some are believed to be white, others Afro-Caribbean. Loud music was playing from the car..."
From: Killer gang 'sexually assaulted girl victims'
The Sun:
"...the spokeswoman was responding to a question about the ambiguous descriptions of the offenders, which have ranged from mixed race to white or Afro-Caribbean..."
From: Stabbed girl's ordeal
The Telegraph - 14th January 2006:
"...schoolgirl was "executed" and her teenage friend left for dead by a drug gang out for revenge... ...the gang kidnapped and raped the girls, forced them to smoke heroin and crack cocaine and tortured them with knives, boiling water, kicks and punches..."
From: Raped, tortured then told: You are going to die slowly
The Sun - January 2006:
"...said ringleader Adrian Thomas, 20, thought the pair set him up a month earlier for an attack in which he was beaten, stabbed and robbed of drugs by a gang of black men at his rented flat in Reading..."
From: Rape and murder revenge
Though Mary-Ann's murder took place a full two months before Anthony Walkers killing, and her murder is the more horrific, searches on the BBC and Google seem to show that the BBC and the media consider his the more important.

So who are Mary-Anns' killers?
Currently the artists impression shown at the begining of this post is the only visual clue until the murderer's photographs are released.
The names of those on trial for the murder and rape also give some clues:
Adrian Anthony Thomas, 20
Jamaile Morally, 22
Joshua Morally, 23
Llewellyn Olemide Adams, 24
Michael Johnson, 19
Indrit Krasniqi, 18
In addition Myron Hiliaire, 18, is accused of the possession of a gun.
I took a guess at there ethnic origin (before seeing the artists impression) at majorityrights.com in the comments section of the More racial skullduggery from the MSM post with the following:
"...Adrian Anthony Thomas (20) - From his age not a black name in the UK so Id guess half-caste as his mother probably thought he would grow up normal when she named him.
Jamaile Morally (22) - black name.
Joshua Morally (23) - black name.
Llewellyn Olemide Adams (24) - His middle name Olemide gives the clue, so either black or half-caste with a african father
Michael Johnson (19) - The lone white? probably half-caste or black
Indrit Krasniq (18) - Indian extracation (brown not red)
Also charged with possession of a gun , but not murder
Myron Hiliaire (18) - black name..."
Is the BBC trying to hide the 'race' fact in Mary-Anns' murder before and during the trial while trumpeting it in Anthony Walkers' killing?
Frank Ellis, a tutor on Russian at Leeds University, has recently stated that 'political correctness' is stifling and censoring news and debate in this country in a similar way that communism did in Soviet Russia. If he is right then perhaps the BBC is playing the same role that Pravda did then.
As the late (thankfully) Bernie Grant, once 'MP' for Tottenham, implied (after the Broadwater Farm riot when a large mob of ethnic immigrants literally hacked an English policeman to death) perhaps it is time to stop immigration and start repatriation.
From: Darcus Howe - The night I reduced Bernie Grant to tears.
If his advice of 20 years ago had been followed then both Mary-Ann Leneghan and Anthony Walker would still be alive today.
UPDATES:
Monday 20th March 2006 PM
The BBC have published photographs of the murderers. Predictably the most 'white' looking (Indrit Krasniqi: an illegal immigrant) is the first and no names have been put to faces.

Hi man,
Thanks for your research!
I have a page on the same (general) subject, mainly muslim immigrants killing whites.
I once had the illusion I was going to document every new murder / gang rape, but the number of these atrocities are so large that it would be utterly impossible to do so, unless I would spend all my time doing that.
Murders of White Europeans by immigrants
Mr, erm, Lad, you are normally so thorough with your research, I cant believe you missed Al-Beeb's little bit of 'creative colouring' on the sketch you showed above when they reported it...pop on over and come see my Blog or the Rottypup's for the scoop.
So do you think those men raped and tortured them because they were white, or because they were female? I fail to see how race is necessarily relevant in this case.
The plan was then to kill them not because they were white, but to avoide the consequences of the terrible crimes those men had done to them. Or do I have it wrong?
I agree that the beeb seemed to keep the race card out of The Mary Ann case - but I also beleive that the motive for murder was not race but revenge. The Anthony Wlaker case was clearly motivated by race - killed by strangers because of his colour. Either way - the murdering scum in both cases deserve far longer sentances. Why not 36 years as in John Monkton case (also not race but robbery). Possibly even manslaughter - one stab wound - tragic result. Is this because the 2 young victims were both working class??? My heart cried for Mary-Ann and still does - it was proabbaly the worst crime I have heard of - but it was NOT a race crme!
Anonymous, you are a living example of why this nation is doomed. You should have chosen the name ostrich as your nom de plume since you clearly have your head inextricably buried in the ground.
Perhaps you are so inculcated with the PC lie that you simply fail to see the facts that self evidently surround you, either way it's sad, so very sad. Just be thankful it wasn't my daughter__ the world isn't ready for what would have happened were it so.
I was recently looking to buy a house up in Massachusetts near my Ivy League educated sister. After cruising around for an hour, she pointed to a pretty house and said, 'There's a nice, reasonable place, George.' I then cautiously asked, 'Do minorities live around here?' She stopped the car and turned to me, 'Oh, please, I can't believe you're a racist!' I replied, 'What racist?? I have a responsibility to my family to provide a safe environment to reside in, do I not?' She came back, 'Yes, you do, but just because there may be some poor immigrants or black people residing nearby doesn't mean that you're not fulfilling your obligation to your family.' 'Hey, Grace,' came my retort, 'areas where blacks and latins are found engender crime much more than white communities. It's not just 10 or 20% greater-it's like 200 or 300% percent greater! I would be remiss in my duties as a father to place my family in that kind of jeopardy. Remember, these are statistics; statistics that were in place and constant long before I was born.' Grace sat there slowly shaking her head and then said, in a calmer tone, 'Well, you know why that is so-because they never had the advan...' I cut her off immediately, 'Grace, I don't want to hear the excuses anymore-I'm not even going to consider moving to this area of 'disadvantaged and disenfranchised human beings'. I'm sick of it!' We made friends later and that was it.
What I was tempted to say but didn't was this: Nearly every newspaper and magazine publisher in America got together in the mid-1960's and decided that they would no longer identify the race of any criminals profiled in their respective periodicals. They've stuck to that and will only name the race if the 'perp' is on the loose and dangerous.
Despite the New York Times banner proclaiming, 'All The News That's Fit To Print' and putting on this act of being impartial and 'only reporting the news', it's obvious that they control what they print for the general public's digestion. Consider this: They think nothing of reporting on a 'man who robbed a bank' - here they are isolating a specific and definite portion of the population. Notice that they didn't say, 'a human robbed a bank' and they never do. Are they being prejudiced against men?? It's ridiculous!! Yet, they will never, ever identify the race of the captured criminal, despite their constant reassuring words, like, 'you have a right to know' and 'keeping you informed'. Hey, you liars, give me all the info and I'll decide if the person's race is relevant to the story or not.
I told my kid a little parable a few years back: 'Son,' says I, 'say you buy 10 different cars and have trouble with half of them. The 5 that gave you headaches were Fords and the 5 that lasted with a minimum of trouble were Chevys. You'd make your 11th purchase a Chevy, right? You'd steer clear of Ford's, as you should. You use that judging power gleaned from experience. Even amoebas do it. That's just using the brain God gave you. You don't have to be prejudiced or racist - just avoid high-crime areas, which just happen to be populated, usually, by peoples of a race other than white.’ Statistics bear me out. These are simply facts, not spin generated by some White Supremacy nut. Anyone who ignores these facts is someday going to pay the price for that ignorance. God Bless Us. Everyone.
Whether race was a factor in the rape and torture of the girls... I hope the culprits rot in Jail ... and then burn in hell (if there is a hell).
George.
I agree with your notion that you should find the safest environment for your family that your resources can afford you.
That said...
You are Racist. Pure and simple.
You see, crime is high in poor areas. ... and due to many reasons ... Minorities happen to be poorer than whites... so they are more likely to live in poor (and hence) high crime areas
Find a poor white area and you will find that crime is high there too. (There will be differences between urban settings and rural settings ... so make sure to compare apples to apples)
Your argument amounts to reasoning that...
" since geese fly north when winter ends, ... if you want the winter to end early, just send the geese north early"
My point, ... correlation is not the same as causation.
Find your self a rich neighborhood populated by minorities and investigate the crime rates there. You'll be surprised to see that the rates compare well with the rates in rich white areas.
Steve.
