Thugs lured victim with false Facebook ad before stealing £3,300 and slashing his dad's arms with a machete
Two thugs lured a victim with a false Facebook Marketplace advertisement before stealing £3,300 and slashing his dad's arms with a machete.
The pair appeared at Manchester Crown Court on Friday , both charged with robbery. Hilditch was also charged with Section 20 assault and possession of a bladed article. They were both handed prison sentences after pleading guilty.The victim, who was accompanied by his girlfriend and father, had arranged to meet O'Donnell and Hilditch after he answered a Facebook Marketplace advertisement for a 2022 Surron LBX electric off-road bike, which was advertised on sale for £3600.
The victim then tried to leave with the bike he had paid for, but Hilditch pulled a machete that is believed to have been 12 inches long on him, and left with the bike and the money. The victim's father tried to chase him, and after a confrontation, he received several large lacerations to his forearms, which weren’t serious but did require hospital treatment.
O’Donnell, of Ladywell Point, Pilgrims Way, in Salford, also pleaded guilty to robbery. He was handed a 22-month Detention and Training Order .

Novel Techniques to Assess Predictive Systems and Reduce Their Alarm BurdenMachine prediction algorithms (e.g., binary classifiers) often are adopted on the basis of claimed performance using classic metrics such as precision and recall. However, classifier performance depends heavily upon the context ( workflow ) in which the classifier operates. Classic metrics do not reflect the realized performance of a predictor unless certain implicit assumptions are met, and these assumptions cannot be met in many common clinical scenarios. This often results in suboptimal implementations and in disappointment when expected outcomes are not achieved. One common failure mode for classic metrics arises when multiple predictions can be made for the same event, particularly when redundant true positive predictions produce little additional value. This describes many clinical alerting systems. We explain why classic metrics cannot correctly represent predictor performance in such contexts, and introduce an improved performance assessment technique using utility functions to score predictions based on their utility in a specific workflow context. The resulting utility metrics ( u-metrics ) explicitly account for the effects of temporal relationships and other sources of variability in prediction utility. Compared to traditional measures, u-metrics more accurately reflect the real-world costs and benefits of a predictor operating in a realized context. The improvement can be significant. We also describe a formal approach to snoozing , a mitigation strategy in which some predictions are suppressed to improve predictor performance by reducing false positives while retaining event capture. Snoozing is especially useful for predictors that generate interruptive alarms. U-metrics correctly measure and predict the performance benefits of snoozing, whereas traditional metrics do not.
