A drug addict robber who 'snuffed out the life' of a widow as she desperately clung on to a handbag containing her late husband's ashes has been found guilty of murder. Nellie Geraghty, 79, was discovered face down in the mud just 100 yards from her home in Shaw, near Oldham, Greater Manchester, after suffering a 'most violent attack' at the hands of Mark Royle on her way to her local luncheon club. She received serious head injuries with the 'overwhelming likelihood' that she was knocked to the ground by Royle, 37, and while lying on the floor was kicked or stamped on, a jury at Manchester Crown Court was told.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
