Woman, 32, convicted of stabbing mum, 31, to death in front of her child at birthday party
A WOMAN has been found guilty of brutally stabbing a mother to death at a London house party.
Hope Rowe, 33, attacked Charlotte Lawlor with a knife at a property in Stepney Green, east London, on September 15 last year.
Emergency services found Ms Lawlor in the foyer of the tower block just before 2am.
Charlotte Lawlor suffered multiple stab wounds at the hands of Rowe with some of the victim’s friends and family witnessing the brutal attack.
Tragically, despite the best efforts of medical staff, Lawlor passed away from her injuries.
Inner London Crown Court heard that Rowe stabbed Lawlor following an argument and then fled the scene in a car with her partner, Leigh Holder, 37.
Armed cops caught up with the fleeing vehicle shortly after 2:10am and discovered only Leigh Holder inside.
He told cops that Rowe had jumped out of the car shortly after fleeing the crime scene and claimed he didn’t know where she was.
The court heard that Rowe left a voicemail on Holder’s phone as they drove away together, which recorded her telling him that it was “good” she had killed Ms Lawlor, before Holder instructed her to dispose of the knife and to avoid the police.
The knife used to kill Lawlor has never been found despite the best efforts of police.
In the early morning the following day the court heard Rowe went to Bethnal Green Police Station where she was arrested on suspicion of murder.
She provided no comment during a police interview and later claimed her actions were due to a momentary loss of control.
On Friday, a jury at the London court found Rowe guilty of murder and Holder guilty of perverting the course of justice.
Rowe and her partner Holder will be sentenced at the court on July 9.
Det Sgt Dean Musgrove, from the Met Police’s specialist crime north unit, said: “Hope Rowe launched a brutal attack on Charlotte Lawlor at what should have been a joyous occasion.
“Our thoughts are with the victim’s family and friends, who will have to contend not only with the loss of a loved one, but with the trauma of having witnessed the killing.
“As if the killing was not senseless enough, Rowe then tried to deceive investigators, disposing of the knife before turning herself in.
“It still has not been found to this day, and both Rowe and her partner were incriminated by a voicemail accidentally recorded on Rowe’s phone.”
The victims parents said in a statement they were “happy” with the verdict, adding: “We would like to thank the jury for their attention during the trial.
“The family will never get over the loss and murder of Charlotte. It has destroyed us, leaving a gaping hole.
“Charlotte’s son, Riley, has been left without a mum, and siblings without their older sister and best friend. Charlotte brought light to everyone’s life.”
6 ways your home looks cheap including the common way everyone hangs their curtains but you can fix it in seconds
AN interior designer has revealed the six ways your house looks cheap – but how to make it look more expensive in seconds.
And if your curtains are hung just above your window it may be time for a change.
TikTok user @beauty.chronicles uploaded a video saying: “How to make your home look x100 more expensive, from an interior designer.”
Their first tip was to never hang curtains just about the window as they claimed it looks “so unclassy.”
They advised: “Hang them at the ceiling to make your windows look taller and get that luxurious vibe.”
Their next piece of advice was to ditch dark floors, including dark wooden ones, as they show “every crumb” and are a “nightmare” to keep clean.
The interior pro said you should instead get light wood tones as it’ll make your home look bigger and modern.
Next up was kitchen sinks, and if yours are overmounted it is bad news.
The interior expert claimed that these look “cheap”, compared to “undermounts.”
They added that these not only look sleeker, are easier to keep clean and can often cost the same.
Her next gripe was with dark countertops, and she said you should get rid of them “immediately.”
She advised: “If replacing them isn’t in the budget, epoxy kits are a great way to brighten them up.”
Many people have jumped on the trend of having one accent wall in a lounge or a bedroom.
Instead, you should “carry the trim all the way around the room to look more custom.”
Finally, they had a tip when it came to bathrooms.
They shared how you should ditch your “builder-grade showerhead” and swap it for a filtered one.
The interior designer said it also had the added benefit of being good for your beauty regime too.
She explained: “Your hair and skin will literally thank you.”
Her tips have racked up nearly 10,000 likes, and people were quick to give their views.
One said: “first tip is good.”
Another added: “I agree with the first one.”
However, one wrote: “first tip don’t listen to interior designers.”

The staggering $1,500 cost to watch NFL this season as fans rage streaming services have ‘got out of hand’
NFL fans are growing concerned with how expensive it is to watch games.
The 2025 season will require six different streaming services in order to watch every game.
Everything is getting more expensive in 2025, but football is growing at an exponential rate.
While it is always expensive to watch a game in-person it shouldn’t be financially crippling to watch at home.
However, that is what is starting to happen with the prices of streaming services.
X account Dov Kleiman calculated the cost of watching the NFL season, and found it to be ridiculously expesive.
First, a fan needs to subscribe to Amazon Prime for the whole season, costing $89.94.
They also need to have ESPN+, which adds another $104.94.
NFL Sunday ticket comes next, which is a whopping $522.
YouTube TV is another massive expense this NFL season, costing fans $563.88.
Peacock will be needed for a few games, costing $13.99.
Lastly, Netflix is needed for the Christmas games, costing $22.99.
On top of all of those expenses, taxes come in from the top rope to add another $197.66.
In total, an NFL fan will need to spend $1,515.40 to watch the full NFL season this year.
NFL fans are furious with the cost of watching and shared their plans for the season on social media.
“Probably costs less than $500 to go to a sports bar to get a lunch and a couple beers every Sunday afternoon for 18 weeks,” one fan said.
NFL important dates 2025 season
March 12 - Free Agency begins
April 24-26 – NFL Draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin
September 4 – 2025 season opener (TBC vs Eagles)
November 27 – Thanksgiving Day triple header
January 4, 2026 – End of regular-season
February 8, 2026 – Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California
“They need to fix this,” another fan said.
“I love football, but I don’t sign up for a tv service just because the nfl game is on,” a third fan said.
“I’d just like to watch all my teams games and playoffs,” a fourth fan said.
“If the NFL offered a team package I would gladly pay. the NFL is stupid for not doing this,” a fifth fan said.
Drivers warned over common car feature that quietly causes insurance bill to spike – you’ll pay more just for having it
MOTORISTS are being warned that a common feature in most modern cars could quietly increase insurance rates.
In a surprising downside, many details meant to help prevent accidents could make things pricier – mainly because these systems are expensive to fix.
These include driver assistance systems, built to enhance safety and convenience, as well as automatic emergency braking.
While these features can reduce claims by 25% in the UK, a new study reveals they’ve also driven up costs over five years.
That’s because cameras, radar and lidar sensors are all pricey features to replace – with there being more to the process than just simply swapping out damaged components.
That’s according to Car Scoops, who cited an Auto News piece claiming that high-tech systems need to be properly calibrated.
For example, a “sensor misaligned by a single degree – about the depth of a business card – can throw it off target by 66 inches (1,676 mm) at a distance of 100 yards (91.4 meters).”
This also means that only a handful of shops can do the work as they need to have a perfectly level flooring, ideal lighting and “automaker-specific targets to calibrate sensors.”
This equipment, for example, can cost up to $1 million – a serious investment that only certain shops can afford.
“It’s almost becoming too expensive to fix the car,” Hami Ebrahimi, chief commercial officer at Caliber Collision, told Autonews.
What’s more, some owners have been known to simply turn off driver assistance systems because they find annoying – meaning some insurance companies end up paying a lot to repair systems that drivers don’t even use.
According to a ValuePenguin study, the average cost of insurance is expected to hit a record high of $2,101 and tech plays a role in this – with car makers increasingly making advanced safety features come as standard.
This contributes to the rising cost of car ownership, with AAA claiming the average annual cost to own and operate a new vehicle is now $12,297, or about $1,024 per month.
GOT YOUR NUMBER
It comes as an insurance company has been accused of a serious error which saw multiple customer bank accounts drained in an issue that went unnoticed for years.
The driver’s license numbers of some 190,000 individuals through the company’s auto insurance quote platform were left exposed – leading to a class action lawsuit.
Digital insurer Lemonade, used across the US and in parts of Europe, has allegedly violated the privacy of as many as 190,000 drivers after cyber criminals hacked into its auto insurance quote platform.
The complaint, which has been filed in federal court in Manhattan, accuses Lemonade of negligence and violating the federal Driver’s Privacy Protection Act and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) data security guidelines.
Worse still, the data breach reportedly occurred between April 2023 and September 2024 – but was not detected by Lemonade until March 2025.
The company then began notifying affected individuals and regulators on April 10, 2025 – meaning there was a delay of two years.
Meanwhile, drivers are seeing their insurance costs skyrocket after getting a single traffic ticket.
The spike is worsened if you live in certain areas with one state putting an average increase of 49% onto insurance costs.
Car insurance tips
Here are some ways to lower monthly car insurance rates:
- Increase the deductible – this may increase the amount drivers must pay in an accident
- Ask insurance carriers for discounts
- Slow down on the road
- Keep off the cell phone behind the wheel
- Improve credit scores (in some states)
- Bundle insurance policies

New ‘restrictor’ laws take away driver control & make certain driving ‘difficult’ as cars are fitted with ‘smart’ device
NEW laws threaten to take away driver control by fitting cars with a smart device.
The new laws will punish reckless drivers with a device that makes it harder to push on the accelerator.
Washington joins Virginia in enacting laws that place speed-limiting tech in cars of drivers who have reckless driving records.
State Governor Bob Ferguson signed a law back in May, requiring drivers with suspended licenses for reckless driving to have intelligent speed assistance devices installed in their cars if they want to drive again.
The devices monitor the driver’s speed and prevent their car from going over local speeding limits – it is similar to cruise control.
It comes as Washington‘s state traffic safety commission reported that fatal crashes in which speed was a factor increased nearly 40% between 2019 to 2023.
“This legislation was inspired by a crash when four individuals, including three children, were killed when their car was struck by a driver going 112 miles per hour,” said Ferguson while singing the new law.
Similar bills have been filed in at least five other states looking to crack down on reckless drivers with repeat offenses, Cathy Chase, president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety told USA Today.
“Sometimes it just takes one state to get the momentum going,” she added.
“This is a new type of measure with a newer technology in the US that’s really making good progress at the state level across the country.”
The law will come into effect in January 2029.
ANTI-SPEEDING TECH LAWS
Virginia became the first state to enact anti-speeding tech laws in April, requiring ISA devices for those who were convicted of driving more than 100 mph.
There’s an alternative with the Intelligent Speed Assistance Program in Virginia, allowing judges to require ISA devices for drivers with repeat reckless driving offenses, but who don’t want their licenses suspended.
The devices are small enough to fit on an air vent and can stop drivers from going over the speed limit.
The laws are similar to the state’s laws on Breathalyzer ignition interlocks, according to Tara Gill, senior director of advocacy and state legislation for Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety.
The bipartisan-backed law in Virginia comes into effect in July 2026.
“It’s nice to see some common ground when our country can seem so divisive politically,” said Chase.
OTHER STATES TO FOLLOW?
Meanwhile, other states such as California and Connecticut have considered some aways to introduce anti-speeding tech, said Gill.
In New York City, the Department of Transportation expanded its ISA pilot program after a recent study using 500 city fleet cars showed that the devices produced an 82% decrease on high-speed roads and 64% decline in overall speeding.
California has considered taking the tech a step further, introducing a bill that would put the devices in every car, which failed.
The state’s current ISA bill is in limbo in the state assembly after Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed a measure last year that would’ve made it the first law of its kind in the US.
The failed bill would have required every vehicle sold or leased in California to be equipped with a passive ISA system that would alert drivers if they went over the speed limit by more than 10 mph.
However, Gov. Newsom said the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration “already regulates vehicle safety standards, and adding California-specific requirements would create a patchwork of regulations that undermines this longstanding federal framework” in his veto.
The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, an auto industry lobbying association questioned lawmaker’s motives behind the proposed bill.
The group referred to a 2022 law that requires new European cars to have at least one of four speed limit recognition warning systems installed.
“What they have in Europe is mandatory intelligent speed assist,” the group said.
“It includes technology meant to be a reminder to the driver… not a restrictor… and uses cameras and GPS to recognize clear/visible speed limit signs on the roads.”
Aaron Rodgers becomes highest paid NFL player EVER at $360 million after Pittsburgh Steelers contract announcement
AARON Rodgers has pulled in insane amounts of money from his NFL career.
The new Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback has made more money than any other player.
Rodgers signed a one-year, $13.65 million deal with the Steelers to be their quarterback in 2025.
That deal will push his lifetime earnings near $400 million.
His Hall of Fame career has seen Rodgers getting some of the biggest contracts in the NFL every year, and it has added up to the historic number.
Here are all of the contracts Rodgers has signed in his career:
- Five years, $7.7 million
- Six years, $63.5 million
- Five years, $110 million
- Four years, $134 million
- Three years, $112.5 million
- One year, $13.65 million
In total, that adds up to $394 million in career earnings. So far he has been paid out $360 million.
That doesn’t include any endorsement deals though, which bring his earnings even higher.
According to Sportico, adjusted to inflation Rodgers has made $620 million in his entire career.
That is the 45th most career earnings by any athlete in the world.
The only other football players that have made more thanks to endorsements are Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.
However, both of those quarterbacks made less money than Rodgers in NFL contracts.
Brady only made $332 million and Manning made $248 million.
While Rodgers is the highest paid player in NFL history right now, he won’t hold the title for long.
Patrick Mahomes notably signed a massive contract with the Kansas City Chiefs starting in 2020.
So far in his career, Mahomes has earned $182 million.
NFL important dates 2025 season
March 12 - Free Agency begins
April 24-26 – NFL Draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin
September 4 – 2025 season opener (TBC vs Eagles)
November 27 – Thanksgiving Day triple header
January 4, 2026 – End of regular-season
February 8, 2026 – Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California
However, his contract is worth a whopping $450 million over 10 years.
It is by far the biggest contract in NFL history by total value, but it isn’t the biggest by average value.
Mahomes is making $45 million per season on that deal, but 13 quarterbacks are making more than him.
Notably, Dak Prescott signed the highest annual value contract of all time at $60 million per season.
The Cowboys extended him for four years on a $240 million deal.
