SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — In 2016, Donald Trump overtook the Republican
National Committee through a shock and awe campaign that stunned party
leaders. In 2020, the party was obligated to support him as the sitting
Republican president.

Heading into 2024, however, the Republican Party has a choice.

The RNC, which controls the party’s rules and infrastructure, is under no
obligation to support Trump again. In fact, the GOP’s bylaws specifically
require neutrality should more than one candidate seek the party’s
presidential nomination.

But as Republican officials from across the country gathered in Utah this
week for the RNC’s winter meeting, party leaders devoted considerable
energy to disciplining Trump’s rivals and embracing his grievances. As the
earliest stages of the next presidential contest take shape, their actions
made clear that choosing to serve Trump and his political interests
remains a focus for the party.

“If President Trump decides he’s running, absolutely the RNC needs to back
him, 100%,” said Michele Fiore, an RNC committeewoman who has represented
Nevada since 2018. “We can change the bylaws.”

The loyalty to Trump is a fresh reminder that one of America’s major
political parties is deepening its alignment with a figure who is
undermining the nation’s democratic principles. As he fought to stay in
the White House, Trump sparked a violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
More recently, he has explicitly said that former Vice President Mike
Pence could and should have overturned the election results, something he
had no power to do.

Away from the ballrooms of the RNC meeting, Pence rebuked Trump on Friday,
saying he had “no right to overturn the election” and that his former boss
was ”wrong” to suggest otherwise.

That kind of dissent was rare in Salt Lake City. In censuring two GOP
lawmakers who have criticized Trump and joined the committee probing the
Jan. 6 insurrection, the RNC channeled the former president in assailing
the panel for leading a “persecution of ordinary citizens engaged in
legitimate political discourse.”

Pence, whose life was threatened on Jan. 6, is one of a few Republicans
making moves toward a 2024 campaign regardless of whether Trump wages a
comeback bid. If he were to run for the White House again, Trump is such a
powerful force with the GOP base that he probably wouldn’t need the
party’s help to become the nominee.

Some Republicans said that’s beside the point.

“There’s probably some disagreement there,” said Bruce Hough, a longtime
RNC member from Utah who lost to a Trump ally in a race for party co-chair
last year. “The RNC has to provide a level playing field for any and all
comers for president. That’s our job. That’s what we have to do.”

But a stark divide has emerged between veterans like Hough, who are
devoted to the GOP as an institution, and a larger group of Trump-aligned
newcomers, who argue they’re bringing new energy to the party. Their chief
loyalty, however, seems to be to the former president.

“Leading up to 2020, or most of the time Trump was in office, he sent
around his minions to populate the committee with very loyal Trump folks
in a lot of red states,” said Bill Palatucci, an RNC committeeman from New
Jersey and frequent Trump critic. “And they still enjoy that strong
majority.”

The RNC’s continued embrace of Trump more than two years before the 2024
election is a decided shift from the party’s position in past elections.

In 2012 and 2016, for example, Reince Priebus as RNC chair went to great
lengths to ensure each of the candidates was treated equally. The party
sanctioned 12 debates, including early rounds that featured up to 17
candidates.

“Clearly, there’s a bias that didn’t exist in the past,” said Tim Miller,
who previously worked for the Republican National Committee and has since
emerged as a fierce Trump critic. “It’s all Trump all the time coming out
of there.”

A year ago, just after President Joe Biden’s inauguration, RNC Chair Ronna
McDaniel declined to encourage Trump to run again when asked, citing party
rules that require neutrality. She also discouraged attacks on those
Republicans who voted for Trump’s impeachment.

This week, however, she backed an effort by Trump loyalists to censure
Reps. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., and Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., a move triggered
almost entirely by their fight against Trump’s enduring influence in the
party beyond the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

The censure, which passed on a voice vote Friday, says the two “support
Democrat efforts to destroy President Trump more than they support winning
back a Republican majority in 2022.”

McDaniel’s shift coincides with the RNC’s reliance on Trump for
fundraising. The party has issued hundreds of fundraising appeals since
Trump left office evoking his name. One offered this message to
prospective small-dollar donors on Tuesday: “YOU must stand with President
Trump and YOUR Party.”

In speeches made minutes before party leaders voted to censure Cheney and
Kinzinger, McDaniel and co-chair Tommy Hicks did not mention Trump and
stressed the need to unify for the 2022 midterm elections.

Though the committee’s moves demonstrated a sustained loyalty to the
former president, outside the winter meeting the censure was condemned by
opponents as divisive and contrary to frequent appeals from leaders to
expand the party’s tent.

The RNC’s discipline “shows more about them than us,” Kinzinger said in an
interview. “It shows that Trump and Trumpism has overtaken the RNC.”

Cheney in a statement said the move demonstrated how the party had become
hostage to Trump.

Indeed, this week’s focus on debates that won’t take place until 2024 and
on anti-Trump Republicans overshadowed the party’s preparations for the
midterm elections. That’s notable because the GOP could reclaim control of
at least one chamber of Congress and several governor’s mansions.

But this week, Trump’s grievances with his Republican critics took center
stage instead.

“We should be focused on what the voters are focused on,” said Caleb
Heimlich, chair of the Republican Party in Washington state, where two of
three Republican House members voted to impeach Trump following the Jan. 6
insurrection. “I’ve been talking to voters in Washington state, traveling
around and nobody talks about Cheney. That’s a D.C. topic.”

Others disagreed.

Harmeet Dhillon, an RNC committeewoman from California, said it was
imperative to send a clear message about Cheney and Kinzinger for her and
the legions of volunteers working to elect Republicans this year.

“The midterms are about a party electing its leaders, and what Adam
Kinzinger and Liz Cheney did here is defy their party’s leadership,”
Dhillon said. “I do not want to elect people in the midterms who do what
these two did.”

On Saturday, Trump weighed in with a statement congratulating the RNC and
McDaniel for their “great ruling” censuring “two Horrible RINOs.”

Beyond the censure, Republicans set in motion a rules change rooted in
another of Trump’s longstanding grievances. A measure advanced that would
force presidential candidates to sign a pledge saying they will not
participate in any debates sponsored by the Commission on Presidential
Debates advanced. It is expected to be voted on when RNC members convene
again in August.

“We are not walking away from debates,” McDaniel said. “We are walking
away from the Commission on Presidential Debates because it’s a biased
monopoly that does not serve the best interests of the American people.”

The eventual 2024 nominee, however, will have final say on whether to
participate.

Another Republican eyeing a White House campaign, Maryland Gov. Larry
Hogan, decried the RNC’s push to punish Trump’s rivals.

“The GOP I believe in is the party of freedom and truth,” the frequent
Trump critic tweeted Friday. “It’s a sad day for my party — and the
country — when you’re punished just for expressing your beliefs, standing
on principle, and refusing to tell blatant lies.”

As a local lawmaker in New York, Democratic congressional
candidate Bridget Fleming voted at least six times to raise
taxes on her constituents. The votes all came after she was
cited by the state for failing to pay her own taxes, according
to a review of legal and legislative records.

In March 2009, New York's taxation department filed a judgment
against Fleming and her husband, Robert Agoglia, for failure to
pay $2,426 in taxes, according to the Suffolk County Clerk's
Office. County records show the couple did not resolve the tax
debt until late June, more than three months after the judgment
was imposed.

Fleming is one of several Democratic candidates for the House
who have pushed for tax hikes and tougher tax enforcement while
having a history of delinquency, which could prove a liability
in the competitive Long Island district she's running to flip.

It is unclear why Fleming failed to pay her taxes. According to
the taxation department, taxpayers are given prior warning
regarding their unpaid debt before a judgment is issued, after
which the state is entitled to seize debtors' property and
garnish wages. Fleming's campaign did not return a request for
comment.

The year after she faced the tax judgment, Fleming won election
to the Southampton town council and soon lent support to
measures that hiked the tax burden on her constituents.

In 2011, town board meeting minutes show Fleming approved the
town council's budget, which levied a more than 2 percent
increase in residents' property taxes. The local outlet
Southampton Press reported that all council members opposed an
amendment to the budget introduced by Fleming that would have
levied an additional $800,000 in property taxes from the town.
Then in 2013, Southampton again raised property taxes with
Fleming's support. In 2015, she was elected to the Suffolk
County legislature, where she voted for more tax increases.

County legislature minutes show Fleming in 2016 voted to pass a
budget that levied $60 million for the county in increased sales
and property taxes. She raised property taxes again the next
year, by nearly 5 percent in some towns. Republicans on the
legislature slammed that budget for raising the county's
borrowing by millions to meet massive increases in spending.

"This is a sinking ship," county legislator Robert Trotta (R.)
said of the budget Fleming approved. "We don't have a revenue
problem, we have a spending problem."

Fleming in 2018 and 2019 approved yet more tax hikes, raising
property tax levies by a combined $38.5 million.

In her campaign for New York's First Congressional District,
Fleming has endorsed President Joe Biden's Inflation Reduction
Act, which passed this month and will dramatically expand the
Internal Revenue Service's auditing capability.

"Dems get it done!" Fleming said in August after the Senate
passed the legislation, which gives the IRS $80 billion to hire
as many as 87,000 new employees.

Fleming is not the only Democratic candidate for the House to
have faced scrutiny for unpaid taxes. Pennsylvania congressman
Matt Cartwright, who voted for Biden's bill expanding the IRS,
has accrued thousands of dollars in tax penalties and interest
for delinquencies since 2013.

Another Pennsylvania Democrat, Chris Deluzio, who has also
endorsed the Inflation Reduction Act, was fined for tax
delinquency last year. In Ohio, Democratic candidate Greg
Landsman in March faced a tax lien from the state after he voted
at least eight times as a Cincinnati councilman to raise taxes
and fees on his constituents.

Fleming will face off in November against Republican Nick LaLota
in the highly competitive district, which the Cook Political
Report rates as "lean Republican." Incumbent Rep. Lee Zeldin
(R.) is vacating the seat to run against Gov. Kathy Hochul (D.)
in New York's gubernatorial race.

Slotkin represents Michigan's 8th Congressional District, but
will now be running in a tight race in the 7th

Fox News Digital has learned that Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich.,
recently moved into a Lansing, Michigan, condo owned by a
lobbyist, who also happens to be one of her campaign donors, in
order to run for re-election in a new congressional district.

Slotkin, who currently represents Michigan's 8th Congressional
District, opted to move to Lansing from her family farm in
northern Oakland County, just outside of Detroit, in order to
run in the newly drawn 7th Congressional District in a year when
new congressional maps were drawn following the 2020 census.

"From my perspective, if the district moves and is a Lansing-
based district, and that is the district that’s most natural for
me to run in, then I will move and live in the Lansing area and
run in the Lansing district," Slotkin told Ingham County
Democrats in their party organization's monthly meeting in
September 2021.

According to Michigan voter registration data, Slotkin updated
her voting address in May of this year to reflect the address of
a home in Lansing currently owned by Jerry Hollister, an
executive at Niowave Inc., a Lansing-based pharmaceutical
manufacturing company that has received millions in federal
funding.

Slotkin's campaign denied that her congressional office
advocated for or was involved in any way with Niowave contracts,
and says she pays fair market rent for her Lansing home.

<https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/
uploads/2020/07/720/405/Elissa-Slotkin-Reuters-2.jpg?ve=1&tl=1>

Hollister, however, works as the chief operating officer and
director of government relations at the company, where his
responsibilities are "to continue developing Congres[s]ional
relationships, local community relationships, and media
relationships important to continued growth," according to his
LinkedIn profile.

He listed an additional role as a principal consultant at BBC
Entrepreneurial Training & Consulting LLC, another Michigan-
based technology consulting company that assists organizations
with grant proposals for government funding.

Voter registration data also shows that Hollister, his wife
Kathleen and son Jonathan have all been registered to vote at
Slotkin's new address since 2020, the same year the family
purchased the home.

According to Federal Election Commission data accessed on Sept.
9, Hollister has also been a frequent donor to Slotkin's
campaign since her first run for Congress in 2018.

Additionally, Niowave has been awarded nearly $30 million in
federal funding since January 2019, when Slotkin first took
office, receiving significantly more money in 2019 and 2022 than
in any other previous year, according to data from
USAspending.gov.

Slotkin's new home is also the business address of J. Hollister
LLC, a consulting firm run by Hollister which does work related
to government contracting and procurement, as well as operations
management.

Fox News Digital reached out to Slotkin's campaign for comment
and received a response from campaign spokesperson Lynsey
Mukomel, who blamed "attempts to twist the facts" on Slotkin's
Republican opponent, Michigan state Sen. Tom Barrett.

"Congresswoman Slotkin pays market rate rent for her home in
Lansing, just like millions of tenants in Michigan, and previous
attempts to twist the facts have failed with other outlets for
that reason," Mukomel said.

"This is nothing more than an attempt by Tom Barrett's weak
campaign to distract from his five votes to block thousands of
jobs at a new GM plant in his own backyard, his opposition to
the bipartisan CHIPS Act and his failed attempt to cover up his
dangerous position to ban all abortions in Michigan, even in
instances of rape or incest," she added.

A source close to Slotkin's campaign said that Niowave had been
receiving federal funds since 2007, more than a decade before
Slotkin took office, and that any funds they received after she
took office was not advocated for, worked on or related in any
way to her or her staff.

The source pointed to other individuals besides Hollister
employed by Niowave who had contributed to Republican Rep. John
Moolenaar's re-election campaign in 2020, highlighting that
contributions from employees of the company were bipartisan.

The source also provided a copy of the lease Slotkin signed to
rent Hollister's property, showing her paying monthly rent, and
expiring in November of this year. The source added that Slotkin
plans to purchase a home in the Lansing area once the lease
expires, and that the housing market had made buying a challenge
earlier in the year.

Fox News Digital also reached out to Hollister for comment but
did not receive a response.

Slotkin is facing a tough challenge from Barrett, a veteran who
served in the U.S. Army and completed deployments in both Iraq
and Afghanistan, in a race rated by Fox News' Power Rankings as
a "toss up."

The DOJ's appeal to continue to review classified documents for
its probe was rejected on Thursday.

A federal judge was not convinced that Trump couldn't have
"possessory interest" in the documents.

The judge could not accept DOJ's claim until a special master
review was completed.

A federal judge said she could not accept the Justice
Department's claim that Donald Trump does not "have a possessory
interest" in some documents that were seized from Mar-a-Lago
just because they're classified government records without
further review by a third party.

On Thursday, Judge Aileen M. Cannon of the US District Court for
the Southern District of Florida appointed a special master to
review more than 11,000 documents seized from Mar-a-Lago in
August and rejected the DOJ's appeal that would have allowed the
department to continue to use a set of classified records as
part of its criminal investigation during that review.

As part of her reasoning, Judge Cannon wrote in her decision
that her court can't accept the department's claims that Trump
should not have had the classified documents until the review by
a special master is completed.

"The Court does not find it appropriate to accept the
Government's conclusions on these important and disputed issues
without further review by a neutral third party in an expedited
and orderly fashion," Cannon wrote.

Raymond Dearie, a former Chief Judge of the US District Court
for the Eastern District Court of New York, was appointed to be
the third-party reviewer. Cannon has given a deadline of
November 30 to complete the review.

In her decision, Cannon, who was appointed by Trump, also wrote
that she couldn't accept the Justice Department's argument that
Trump doesn't have a "plausible claim of privilege" of the
classified documents without a third-party review.

Legal experts have previously raised doubts around Cannon's
judgment that Trump may have executive privilege over the
records since the government owns the documents and since the
Biden administration has declined to assert privilege over them.

Cannon's order does however allow for the government to continue
to review the documents "for purposes of intelligence
classification and national security assessments."

Democrats say Manchin's bill will force them to choose between
more pollution or government shutdown

Nearly a third of House Democrats warned Speaker Nancy Pelosi on
Friday against tying this month's must-pass government funding
bill to legislation spurring oil and gas drilling that is
desired by Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va.

Seventy-one House Democrats penned a letter to Pelosi, D-Calif.,
warning that the bill's inclusion will force them to seriously
consider voting against the short-term government funding
measure, known as a continuing resolution.

"In the face of the existential threats like climate change and
MAGA extremism, House and Senate leadership has a greater
responsibility than ever to avoid risking a government shutdown
by jamming divisive policy riders into a must-pass continuing
resolution," said House Natural Resources Committee Chairman
Raúl Grijalva, an Arizona Democrat who spearheaded the letter.
"Permitting reform hurts already-overburdened communities, puts
polluters on an even faster track, and divides the caucus."

Signing on to the letter was a wide cross-section of the House
Democratic Conference.

Signatories included not just progressive firebrands, like
Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, but also
leadership allies. The latter included Reps. Joe Neguse of
Colorado and Debbie Dingell of Michigan, whom Pelosi has tasked
with leading the House Democratic Policy and Communications
Committee.

Neither Manchin's nor Pelosi's offices returned requests for
comment.

Earlier this year, Manchin struck a deal with Senate Majority
Leader Chuck Schumer to pass legislation streamlining the permit
approval process to drill for oil and gas by the end of
September. In exchange for the commitment, Manchin agreed to
back the White House's $739 billion climate change and tax hike
package.

Schumer, D-N.Y., confirmed earlier this week that he would
attach the permitting legislation to the government funding
bill, which must pass by Sept. 30 or risk a shutdown.

"Our intention is to add it to the [continuing resolution],
absolutely," said Schumer.

House Democrats say the decision is fraught with risk, however.

"Such a move would force Members to choose between protecting
[environmental justice] communities from further pollution or
funding the government," the lawmakers wrote in their letter.

Progressive Democrats have long argued that Manchin's side deal
was with Schumer and not with them.

"We will be united in defeating the separate Manchin ‘permitting
reforms’ that will accelerate climate change and pollute Black,
brown, Indigenous and low-income communities," said Rep. Rashida
Tlaib, D-Mich. "Manchin went back on his word to get [Build Back
Better] done, and we owe him nothing now."

The permitting bill, which has yet to be made public, would set
timelines by which environmental agencies must conduct reviews
for proposed projects. It would also require the federal
government to hold more leasing auctions for the right to drill
on federal land.

Manchin's biggest prize, however, is provisions of the expected

bill that would catalyze approval of a natural gas pipeline
running for more than 300 miles through Virginia and West
Virginia. The $6.6 billion Mountain Valley Pipeline was started
in 2014 and is nearly 90% complete, but has stalled in recent
months among environmental lawsuits.

"The Mountain Valley Pipeline is the only project in the entire
country that can bring 2 billion cubic feet of natural gas per

day onto the market in just six months," Manchin said in August

when news of the deal first broke.

The opposition by House Democrats to the oil and gas permitting
bill has put the pipeline at risk. Manchin's GOP critics say the
senator gave up any leverage to get the permitting bill through
when he agreed to vote on the $739 billion climate change and
tax package first.

"Joe Manchin sold out West Virginia for a signing pen from

President Biden," said Rep. Alex Mooney, R-W.Va. "He single-

handedly restarted the Biden administration’s inflation-causing
spending binge."

Ernest Parker was arrested by the Aurora Police Department on a
domestic violence-related second-degree assault charge, the
Sheriff's Department said.

DENVER — A Denver sheriff's deputy faces several charges after
his girlfriend's leg was broken during an argument at her Aurora
home, an arrest affidavit from the Aurora Police Department says.

Ernest Parker was arrested by APD on charges of domestic
violence-related second-degree assault, and criminal mischief
for damaged property, the department said.

The woman was at her with another person when Parker knocked on
her door and wanted to come inside to talk. She said that she
and Parker had been dating for about two years.

She said she waited for Parker to leave and said her guest
wanted to move his vehicle which was parked in her driveway in
front of the garage. She reported that she opened the garage
door to make sure that Parker had left.

As she closed the door, she said she saw Parker run toward it as
it was closing, the affidavit says. He then used his hands to
hold the door open, which resulted in the door being stuck open,
according to the victim.

She stated that Parker entered the garage and they began to
argue. At one point they moved to the home's sunroom where the
arguing continued, the affidavit says. In that room, the victim
said Parker pushed her with his hands onto a chair.

The victim said they went back to the garage where Parker pushed
her with his hands down to the ground. At that point, the victim
said Parker left out the open garage door and she crawled back
into her home from the garage.

She said she let her guest know she was injured and he took her
to the hospital, where it was determined that she had a fracture
to her left leg.

Investigators spoke with the victim's guest whose story matched
the victims with the exception of what happened in the garage.
He said he stayed in the kitchen of the home and did not witness
the argument.

In a statement to police, Parker said he had knocked on the
victim's door but no one answered. He said he walked to his car
and saw the garage door open and walked toward it. He said he
held it open to enter the garage but said it had been previously
damaged from his girlfriend driving into it. An officer who
responded to the home said he had not noticed any damage on the
door from a collision.

He admitted that he had pushed his girlfriend onto a chair and
said he "pushed her in chest area with both hands" and said she
"sat on the ground." While on the ground, she began "screaming
for help," Parker said.

During the argument, Parker said, his girlfriend slapped him in
the face causing a minor cut to his lip.

The Denver Sheriff's Department immediately put Parker on
investigatory leave, they said. The Office of the Independent
Monitor has been notified and the Public Integrity Division has
opened an investigation.

Parker became a deputy sheriff in 2019 and is assigned to the
Downtown Detention Center, the department said.

He was booked into the Arapahoe County Jail Friday morning.

Sarah Barrass was given a life sentence for killing her two
teenage sons along with her half-brother Brandon Machin - now a
leading criminologist says the twisted pair won't survive for
long behind bars

A twisted mum who gave birth to six children with her half-
brother before killing her two sons, won't survive for long
behind bars – according to a leading criminologist.

Sarah Barrass, 35, and Brandon Machin, 39, from Sheffield, were
both sentenced to 35-years in jail last week after murdering
their two teenage sons and plotting to kill their four other
children on May 24.

Sheffield Crown Court heard the sick pair gave their children a
cocktail of drugs and when the mixture failed to kill them,
strangled sons Tristan, 13, and Blake, 14, before placing
plastic bags over their heads.

They also tried to drown a third child in the bath.

Following the murders and the attempted murder of the younger
child who was placed in a bath, the mother took the surviving
children, who are all under the age of 13, to the bedroom and
phoned the police.

Following the evil pair's life-term convictions, criminologist
Professor Elizabeth Yardley has told the MirrorOnline she doubts
the pair, who were sentenced on Tuesday will survive life behind
bars.

Barrass and Machin, both of Sheffield, were sentenced to life in
prison with minimum terms of 35 years on Tuesday.

Prof Yardley, a criminologist at Birmingham City University,
says the murderers won't survive their life sentences because
there is a high-risk other inmates will turn on them.

She said: "What we’ll see happen over the next few months and
years is these two will learn the kinds of behaviours they need
to display to appear remorseful.

"They will talk to other offenders in prison, they will find out
the things a parole board wants to hear.

"If you were to talk to them in everyday language about it in
terms of the impact of their actions and the long term
implications they wouldn’t be able to tell you about them
because they don’t genuinely feel remorse.

"They were worried about the implications for themselves. They
didn’t care about their children."

She added: "In a lot of cases of child homicide the parents
don’t last very long in prison.

"They are a very high risk of suicide and they are at a very
high risk of attack.

"I doubt very much they will live to see the end of their
sentences."

It will be a difficult task for Barrass to pretend to be
remorseful, believes Prof Yardley, who believes she has a
narcissistic personality disorder.

Prior to the murders the court also heard told how the mother-of-

six was heard repeatedly making remarks such as "I gave you
life, I can take it away" to the children.

"She would have seen her children not as individuals with rights
and autonomy but as things to be controlled.

"They were her possessions. She owned them.

"She was quoted as saying (to the children), 'I gave you life, I
can take it away', so she doesn’t see her children as
individuals to be loved and nurtured."

Sheffield Crown Court heard they feared the children would be
taken into care if their dark secret was discovered. They
decided the children would be "better off dead".

However, after reviewing the case, Prof Yardley said she doesn't
believe claims that Barrass and Machin plotted the murders
because they feared the children would end up in care.

She explained: "I think that is nonsense.

"That has been the case for years, a risk of this (secret sexual
relationship) coming out ever since the first children were
born, so why now? Why choose to kill them at this point?

"I think there's more to it.

"I’m totally speculating here, but if you look at the order of
events they have killed the eldest children first, and the
eldest children represent the biggest threat and the biggest
risk if they (Barrass and Machin) were going to disclose some
information that would compromise the parents’ control of the
children.

"That’s what this all boils down to is control.

"I’m really sceptical of the narrative that has emerged around
this case."

Prof Yardley thinks even claims that the mum couldn't cope were
fabricated and part of her disordered thinking.

She said: "I think that's rubbish.

"I think that was a performance. I think this family has become
very skilled at crafting a performance to the outside world to
what they want the family to look like.

"It is part of the manipulative nature of these individuals.

"This wasn’t something that was decided on a whim. It was a long
time coming."

The criminologist added: "It’s 'poor me, I can't cope'.

"She is deflecting responsibility and painting herself as the
victim.

"We have an individual who made a choice to engage in violent
behaviour.

"She knew it was wrong but she chose to do it anyway, and she
was not suffering from psychosis or a mental health issue.

"She knew exactly what she was doing and so was he.

The four surviving children, who cannot be named for legal
reasons, are all aged under 13 and are being supported by the
local council.

They are said to be "emotionally broken" by the ordeal.

John Macilwraith, Executive Director of People Services at
Sheffield City Council, said: "Our focus continues to be the
well-being of the children from this family now in our care.

"They are safe and receiving good support through this traumatic
time.

"The Sheffield Children Safeguarding Partnership has initiated a
Serious Case Review (SCR) to investigate what happened."

The woman, 39, engaged in incest with her sons while her husband
was away from home

A mum had sex with two of her teenage sons next to the corpse of
her strangled five-year-old foster daughter, according to police.

The 39-year-old, named only as "Yuyu" by Indonesian police, is
said to have become "jealous" after her sons repeatedly raped
the girl, Nadia Pudley.

Yuyu reportedly had been having sex with the boys, named only as
"RG", 16, and "RS", 14, for two months while her husband was
away from their home in Sukabumi, in east Indonesia.

A police spokesman said: "Yuyu regularly had sex with her eldest
son. When she caught him having sex with Nadia, she felt
jealous."

Yuyu and RG are said to have started throttling their innocent
victim until she died.

The attack was so violent that he left the youngster with a
broken neck and severed tongue, according to local reports.

The pair, and their other son RS, are said to have engaged in
sexual activity nearby the youngster's corpse.

Afterwards, the trio carried the child's body in a quilt to a
nearby bamboo woodland before dumping her in the Cimandiri River.

Three fisherman later found Nadia's body wedged between a set of
rocks, according to the local Sin Chew Daily.

Yuyu reportedly told investigators the girl had died following
an epileptic fit but an autopsy revealed the extent of her
wounds.

Police chief Nasriadi said: "These three perpetrators often
engaged in incestuous acts."

The precise details of the charges against Yuyu and her sons
have yet to be confirmed.

Detectives claimed the mum and her sons killed the foster
daughter after she found out the teens were raping the child

A mum had a threesome with her two sons after the three
allegedly killed the family’s foster daughter after an
incestuous love triangle.

The mum, 39, and her two sons, 14 and 16, were arrested in
Jakarta for the rape and murder of a girl, 5.

Detectives said the victim was the woman’s foster daughter and
the boy’s foster sister.

Police first found the body of the girl washed up on the banks
of the Cimandiri River on September 22.

Autopsy reports confirmed the girl had suffered several wounds
to her privates.

It was unearthed that the brothers had been raping the little
girl.

It is alleged the mum found the older brother attacking the girl
and became furious.

Indonesian press reports the woman was actually “jealous” of her
foster daughter.

It emerged she and her two sons had been in an incestuous
relationship.

Both the older brother and the mum then strangled the little
girl to death.

It is alleged the mum then had a threesome with her two sons
near the girl’s corpse, reports Compas.

The girl’s body was then thrown into the nearby river – where it
was found half a mile downstream.

The woman and her sons were having a sexual relationship
whenever her husband would go away for work.

Sukabui police blamed the affair on the boys watching
pornographic videos.

“The promiscuous relationship between the two teenage boys and
their mother as well as their foster sister happened because
they would often watch pornographic videos on their handphones,”
the police said.

“The both of them would have hallucinations and vent their
feelings to their own mother and foster sister."

The foster daughter’s biological parents are now calling for the
death penalty.

“Please give them the death sentence if possible. My child died,
so her murderers should die too,” said the victim’s dad.

The mum and sons have now undergone psychiatric evaluations.
