A serial killer set Detroit on edge. Police missteps over 15 years allowed him to roam free

DETROIT (AP) — The serial killer lured women one by one into vacant homes to be murdered, posing their nude or partially clothed corpses amid cheap booze pints, crumbling sheetrock and hypodermic needles.The slayings set Detroit on edge, prompting authorities to dispatch crews on overtime to scour the city’s decrepit stock of abandoned properties for more bodies. When the killer was charged in 2019, the police chief at the time told reporters that his department had been “very diligent, relentless” in solving the crimes.But now, a year after DeAngelo Martin was sent to prison for committing four murders and two rapes, it’s clear that police were hardly diligent or relentless.Over 15 years, Detroit police failed to follow up on leads or take investigative steps that may have averted the eventual killing spree, despite having received repeated warnings that Martin was a violent predator, an Associated Press investigation has found.“It’s astonishing,” said Jim Trainum, a retired Washin...

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 16:20:25 GMT

LONDON — The U.K. and Switzerland have signed a financial services deal described as the “first of its kind” by British Chancellor Jeremy Hunt.The mutual recognition agreement will allow British firms from some financial services sectors — including banking and asset management — to operate in Switzerland while still following the U.K.’s regulatory rulebook. The same will be true of Swiss firms operating in Britain.Hunt said it was based on the the “deference principle” and would not require U.K.-Swiss regulatory alignment for financial services.The deal also gives British insurance firms unique access to the Swiss market, as they will be exempt from incoming rules that will force overseas insurers to have a physical base in the country.Speaking at a press conference alongside Swiss Finance Minister Karin Keller-Sutter, Hunt said the Bern Financial Services Agreement will allow British and Swiss firms to “plan and invest with certainty.”“I hope it provides a blueprint for ...
