Vile scumbags plot kidnap and murder of singer Mar 19th 2013, 15:43 http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2013/ma...ss-stone-court I don't begin to understand this and the apparent extreme hatred. Mind you, the police made idiots of themselves. Quote: Two men armed with weapons including a samurai sword and equipped with body bags and gaffer tape were arrested as they plotted to rob and murder the soul singer and actor Joss Stone, a jury has heard . The pair drove from Manchester to Devon, where Stone lives, but were spotted by concerned neighbours who dialled 999. When police searched the men's car and home they found a note describing Stone as a "she-devil in flesh" and others suggesting that they had considered decapitating her and finding a river to dump her body in... ...In June 2011 the men allegedly armed themselves with the sword along with hammers, a metal spike and a knife. They were also equipped with balaclavas, gloves, body bags, gaffer tape, maps and a roll of plastic bags. Morgan said: "The crown says that with this arsenal of weapons, it is obvious they were intent upon serious violence. The intended target was Joss Stone. They had decided upon this action some time before and this was the time to put it into effect." Their red Fiat Punto car was picked up by an automatic registration plate recognition system on the M6 in Cheshire at 2.35am. Two hours later they filled up with petrol on the M5 in Gloucestershire and drove off without paying for it, Morgan said. As they left the service station, the car crashed into metal railings and a digger. The front of the vehicle was badly damaged and Gloucestershire police attended. Officers said they would report Bradshaw for driving without insurance and other offences. Police did not believe that the vehicle could be moved, so left the scene and did not search the car. Morgan said the men were not put off and drove on to Devon. They got lost and showed a postman a picture of Stone and one of the men asked him where she lived, the jury was told. The postman told them he did not know. Later three local women saw the car. They thought the occupants were "agitated and behaving abnormally" and phoned the police. A patrol car followed the Fiat, then stopped it, at which point the weapons and equipment were found. When the men's flat in Longsight, Manchester, was searched, police also discovered a pistol, crossbow and a BB gun. Notes found included the message: "Joscelyn (sic) Stoker … RIP for ever" and "I don't kill just for dollars, only for good cause or reason". One mentioned decapitation and another read: "Once Jocelyn's dead … find a river to dump her."
