Woman bags jail sentence after deliberately sawing off her hand to claim £925,000 in insurance scam

Woman bags jail sentence after deliberately sawing off her hand to claim ?925,000 in insurance scam

 

22-year-old Julija Adlesic from Ljubljana in Slovenia has bagged a three year jail sentence after deliberately sawing off her hand to claim a £925,000 insurance payout. 

 

Adlesic reportedly hatched the macabre plot with her boyfriend and arrived the hospital when they knew the hand could not be reattached. Adlesic told hospital authorities that she injured herself while sawing branches.

Just days before the incident in early 2019, police investigations found Adlesic's partner, Sebastien Abramov searched online for information on artificial hands work. This was used as evidence that the amputation was part of an insurance scam plot. 

 

Their plan was foiled after police recovered the appendage and surgeons reattached it. The 22-year-old lady however protested her innocence during her trial, saying she would never have deliberately chopped off her hand .

 

She said;

 

 "No one wants to be crippled.

"My youth has been destroyed. I lost my hand at the age of 20.

"Only I know how it happened."

She was subsequently found guilty of attempted insurance fraud by a court in the city. Sentencing her to three years, Judge Marjeta Dvornik said; 

 

 "We believe the sentences are fair and appropriate, and will serve their purpose."

 

Her boyfriend Abramov was sentenced to three years in prison while his dad received a one-year suspended sentence.

Meek Mill denied new trial by controversial Judge Genece Brinkley

                                    Rapper, Meek Mill has been denied a new trial in a ruling by controversial Judge Genece Brinkley . According to court documents viewed by Pitchfork, the widely criticized Judge Genece Brinkley announced Monday that the court would be denying his petition for PCRA relief as Meek allegedly "failed to meet his burden of proof" when presenting evidence that one of his arresting officers had credibility issues. This comes after it was discovered that the police officer who testified at his original criminal trial years ago had his name placed on a list of corrupt Philadelphia cops. Following the new evidence on ground, the Philadelphia District Attorney, Larry Krasner, recommended that Meek be granted a new trial. After Meek appeared in court to demand a new...

20 PROSPECTIVE CORPS MEMBERS RESCUED

  A huge sigh of relief as 20 prospective NYSC members who were abducted in Imo State have regained their freedom. 🇳🇬 The young graduates were abducted on October 1 while travelling along the Owerri–Onitsha Road to their NYSC orientation camps. After days in captivity, they were successfully rescued on October 7 at Amakohia Ubi, Imo State, following a coordinated search-and-rescue operation involving security agencies. They have since been taken for medical assessment and necessary care. Thank God they are alive and free. 🙏🏽 Our thoughts remain with their families and everyone who stood by them during those painful days. We also commend the security personnel involved in the rescue operation. But this is a reminder that the safety of our young people must remain a national priority. May God continue to protect Nigerians travelling across the country and bring an end to kidnapping and insecurity. 🇳🇬 Nigeria must become safer for everyone. #NYSC #Nigeria #ImoState #BreakingNew...
