Hey you lovely lot I'm running a master class unravelling coercive control on

December the 5th and 6th so many of you have asked me questions about coercive control.

So this is the place where you can learn much more detail about the offense itself,

risk assessment and risk management, the effective police investigation, and so much more.

Now it's a virtual master class so anyone can join wherever you are in the world.

Together we'll deconstruct many cases including Gabi Vatito, Alice Ruggles, Sally Challin and the Menendez murders.

You'll also be able to learn about best practice regarding what an effective police

investigation looks like, as I mentioned risk assessment and risk management as

well as the practical points to prove the coercive control offense and law

reform in different countries including the UK, Australia

and America. Together we can prevent murders in slow motion. For more information and to book a place, email Laura Richards PA at gmail.com.

See you in the classroom, you lovely lot. New overseas witnesses have given explosive evidence at the

resumed inquest into Golco's mother Marian Barta's disappearance. The women revealed how convicted

fraudster Rick Blume tricked them in a romance con bearing striking similarities to

Miss Barta's love affair.

As a widow looking for companionship, Galane Danlois met Rick Blooms 17 years ago.

She knew him as Frederick de Hederbury.

Today beaming into a Lizismore courtroom via video link from Brussels, the 92-year-old

recalled how his handwritten letter blossomed into a romance. He was a bank manager, a coin collector, he was interesting.

She told the inquest he proposed, asked her to sell her house and move to Australia,

convincing her to move money into accounts for her kids. He took advantage of the love I have

for my children to steal my money. 72,000 euros gone. He's not very well, but he's prepared to give the evidence.
