These people grew up in a time when there weren’t really many STD/STI’s and the worse that could happen through having unprotected sex was they would become pregnant, however due to their age pregnancy is no longer a concern so they don’t think there is a need to use protection. Adding to that many old people won’t talk to their doctors about sexual activity because they feel uncomfortable and therefore are not aware of the new risks.

Increased use of online dating websites also means that rather than just sticking to one partner they are meeting more thus as in young people causing an increase in STD/STI’s with multiple partners, unfortunately they are less likely to be tested for and diseases.

A few minutes later Whibley returned to the Britannia Inn with the knife and stabbed Snaz Martin in the stomach. Snaz said of the attack “I just got between them and kicked him out of the pub. I told him I wasn’t going to have knives in my pub and to just get out. It was around closing time and so I then started to lock up. He just came at me so I pushed him back out the pub and followed him out. He hit me and although I didn’t feel anything at first I then noticed the blood pumping out. The next thing was the ambulance came and I was on my way to hospital.”

Thug Whibley, from nearby Snodland pleading guilty to wounding with intent at Canterbury Crown Court and was given a four year prison term last week, he was branded a “dangerous offender” and “significant threat” to the public by police. Detective Constable Sean Wareham, who led the investigation, said: “Whibley showed a clear intent on causing an injury by carrying a knife.

In China people are often so desperate for a son in the family it is thought the little girls relatives tried to kill her by jamming the needle into her head. The mother had previously aborted a baby after it was discovered it was to be a girl following pressure from her mother in law, however on becoming pregnant a second time with a girl she carried on with the pregnancy. The mother of the child guesses the needle had probably been inserted when her child was only about 4 days old as that was when she started noticing changes. The mother of the child has said that she would try to bring charges against the relatives who were responsible for the attempted murder of her daughter.

This is not an uncommon practice in China as they operate a strict one couple, one child family planning policy many baby girls are often killed by relatives or dumped into orphanages so the family can try again for a son.

Dr Karen Boyle, who works at the Greater Baltimore Medical Centre said: “When the woman had her ultrasound initially they saw one sack, one baby developing, and that baby had a certain gestational age”.

She went on to say, “Then they noticed a second heartbeat in a child that was much, much younger developmentally. It does really sound like this is a true case of different conception times for these children.”

Julia Grovenburg, the mum-to-be is thought to have conceived the second baby two and a half weeks after the first conception but it can only be confirmed after the births. Mrs Grovenburg’s obstetrician, Dr Michael Muylaert said: “This is an unusual and rare condition but the possibility is real. It can only be confirmed after delivery by chromosomal and metabolic studies on the babies.”

Although Superfoetation can be unsafe for the younger baby, experts say that the small gap of only two and a half weeks should not lead to any complications.
