Billionaire is gifted a rare $100k three-tone Hermès Birkin by mum Kris Jenner as she marks her 25th This was the only link between the accused and his victim and is thought to have been the catalyst for the murder, the court heard. The court was told that she had had a five-month affair the year before the killing but was reconciled to her husband.īrown, who denies murder, was a friend of Mrs Slater's former lover Joe Henry. His wife Carol, 33, ran downstairs to help and pushed the killer out the doorway, before tending to her dying husband. Prosecutor Peter Collier said an expert believed the numbers were written in the 'traditional classical way' of those interested in numerology.īrown's victim, Keith Slater, 35, was stabbed through the neck when he answered a knock on the door at his home at 12.20am on August 27, 1988. Officers then realised the matchbox numbers could be linked to Brown, who was said to be fascinated by tarot cards, numerology and spirituality. He was extradited from Australia, where he had moved after the murder. Tests later showed Brown matched the DNA profile, Sheffield Crown Court was told. Years later, scientists working on a cold case review of the crime in Hessle, near Hull, obtained a DNA profile from a blood-stained tissue found on the killer's escape route.

Martin Brown, 42, allegedly scrawled his birth date, the number of his victim's house and the date he planned to carry out the murder on a matchbox found in the area. This one should rank highly in my ranking at the end of the week.A killer obsessed by the occult left a numerical clue to his identity after stabbing a father of two to death on his doorstep, a court has heard. Great cast, great atmosphere, great film. The character of Snake Plissken is so over the top it’s almost funny, and yet Kurt Russell manages to pull it off perfectly. I have to say I really enjoyed this film and I think if I had seen it back in the day I would have absolutely loved it and I would watch it regularly. And is there a reason why Snake swapped the tapes other than to have a bit of a laugh? Fair enough, if so.I’m not quite sure why the President stopped the winch near the end? Can anyone explain that to me?.One of those massive jobs that Colonel Decker used to use on The A-Team. There is an amazing walkie talkie near the end.It helps move the action on but it does just come across as very convenient It is rather convenient how Snake finds Brain on the building and then Cabbie downstairs and Cabbie has the tape.Nice vector graphics, akin to the Atari Star Wars arcade game I thought the 3D wireframe graphics of the buildings for were pretty cool for 1981.There is some great music when they steal the car.There’s another nice Carpenter trope of having the camera moving backwards facing a character as they walk down a corridor and then cut to the character’s point of view.

Chock Full O Nuts – great name for a store.That’s exactly how I always picture Ernest Borgnine. It’s a great intro to Ernest Borgnine, laughing away in the cinema.I have to say, Snake’s trousers are pretty awesome.I know he was a helicopter pilot and he even flies helicopters in some of his movies. John Carpenter sure loves his helicopters.I loved the long slow pan at the start.I’m sure a soldier gave a callsign “Gotham 4” right at the start.Here come my random thoughts about the movie: And of course his regulars, Charles Cyphers and Adrienne Barbeau.

Kurt Russell, Lee van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Donald Pleasance, Isaac Hayes, Harry Dean Stanton. I’d never seen him in a proper action role.Īnd this film does have a great cast. I’d only really seen him in films like Unlawful Entry where he plays fairly straight laced or even weak characters. One thing I was looking forward to was seeing Kurt Russell in an action film. Again I had never seen this before, but obviously I had heard so much about it and knew the name Snake Plissken very well.
