1. Bangkok bombings: Thai police identify suspect.

Police in Thailand have released CCTV footage of the primary suspect in yesterday’s Erawan Shrine bombing that killed 22 people and injured over 120.

CCTV stills show a man with a yellow shirt leaving a backpack at the scene, minutes before the explosion

A second blast occurred last night when a device was thrown from a bridge onto a pier, but exploded in the water – there were no causalities.

Prawut told The Bangkok Post that Tuesday’s “pipe bomb” which was tossed from a bridge, was probably meant to land on a busy platform leading to a pier. Instead it hit a pillar and bounced into a canal, sending a large plume of water into the air.

Police Chief Somyot Pumpunmuang said that Tuesday’s bomb was much smaller than Monday’s bomb at the shrine. But the bomb construction was similar.

National police spokesman Prawut Thavornsiri released several photos of the  yellow-T-shirt wearing man carrying a backpack.

“The yellow-shirt guy is not just the suspect. He is the bomber,” Prawut told The Associated Press.

They now say they have identified the suspect.

2. Australian man interviewed in relation to Bangkok bombing.

An Australian fashion blogger living in Bangkok has been interviewed by Thai police after being suspected of being involved in the bombing.

Sunny Burns posted a picture of himself on his Instagram and Facebook accounts saying he was talking with police and being treated well.

“I forgive everyone who spread those horrible rumours about me. I love this country and let’s fight together. Let’s find this bomber. I’m not a terrorist.”

He said there was no way he was the man in the CCTV footage saying “I would never wear those clothes for starters.”

“I’m not a terrorist and the photo of the terrorist looks nothing like me. I would never wear those clothing [sic] — I’m a fashion blogger … I’ll keep you posted but please pray for Thailand. I’m Australian and we are battlers … I still love you Thailand,” he wrote online.

3. Details emerge about Tiffany Taylor.

New details have emerged about 16-year old Tiffany Taylor – who is presumed murdered after going missing on July 12.

Tiffany was last seen leaving the Logan motel where she shared a room with her boyfriend and entering a car with an older man.

The Courier Mail reports that the young woman posted online under the pseudonym “Gwenyth Taylor “where she met men like 60-year-old Rodney Williams who has been arrested over her murder.

Police allege that Williams had arranged to meet Tiffany through an online dating site.

Her boyfriend, Greg Hill, who she started dating when she was 12 and he was in his 40’s says he knew nothing of her online activities.

He says she would go out for coffee or claim she was meeting her uncle and come home with money.

The 16-year old’s body has not been found.

Police have appealed for anyone who had contact with Rodney Williams online to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

4. Prison escapee found in NSW.

Police have found a dangerous man who escaped from Goulburn prison yesterday.

Stephen Jamieson cut through metal around a padlocked gate then used a mop handle tied to torn bed sheets to scale a razor wire fence in the escape.

Jamieson is serving 12 years for armed robbery and was eligible for release in 2021.

The escapee avoided police all day yesterday until he was arrested by police on the Hume Highway late last night after a police chase.

He will appear in court this morning.

5. Child protection services ignored doctor’s warning after baby suffered a suspicious broken leg.

A radiologist who treated baby Ebony – the four-month old baby girl who died in November 2011 from “horrific injuries” at her teenage parent’s unit in Adelaide has told an inquest he alerted child protection services when she was admitted to an Adelaide hospital with a broken leg but that nothing was done.

Radiologist Christopher Pozza told the Coronial inquest he suspected a fracture to Ebony’s thigh was non-accidental when he examined her at Adelaide’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital in August 2011.

The inquest heard that Ebony’s parents told the hospital she had overbalanced and fell onto her pram, trapping her leg between the wheels reports The Daily Mail.

“In my opinion, the force required to fracture this bone is not consistent with the stated fall” Dr Pozza told Adelaide Coroner’s Court.

“A fracture of the femur requires a significant force.

“Something like a vehicle accident or a fall from a significant height – out of a tree or a playground.”

Dr Pozza said he was surprised child protection services did not ask for his opinion on the injury when they investigated.

“My findings were short, sharp and to the point,” he said.

“I could not stress highly enough my concerns.”

Ebony’s father was jailed in March for nine years after he fatally bashed his four-month-old daughter and failed to get her medical attention. Her mother was given a supervised bond for two years

7. 65-year old German mum shows off her quadruplets.

A 65-year-old grandmother who had quadruplets is about to embark on the next steps of her busy life when she takes the babies – born premature – home.

8. Dad confiscates his kid’s “participation” trophies.

A US sports star’s Instagram post has gone viral after he told of how he took away his son’s trophies they were awarded for taking part in a sports carnival.

NFL player James Harrison said he is trying to teach his two sons, ages 6 and 8, a lesson about grit and competition by making them return their “participation” trophies until they can earn “real” ones.

“I came home to find out that my boys received two trophies for nothing, participation trophies!” He wrote

“While I am very proud of my boys for everything they do and will encourage them till the day I die, these trophies will be given back until they earn a real trophy. I’m sorry I’m not sorry for believing that everything in life should be earned, and I’m not about to raise two boys to be men by making them believe that they are entitled to something just because they tried their best … cause sometimes your best is not enough, and that should drive you to want to do better … not cry and whine until somebody gives you something to shut u up and keep you happy.”

9. We really are a heartless bunch.

A study has shown that 54% of smart phone owners would abandon their pet cats rather than their smartphones in a fire.

Leaving poor Kitty to fend for herself against the wall of flames while they uploaded #fire pics to Instagram.

The study, by Morotrola showed that 60% of people sleep with their smartphones. – their cat sleeps elsewhere we presume-  and about 40% of people tell their phones secrets they’d never share with a best friend.

What would you pick your cat or your phone?
