Man packed suitcase and fled Gran Canaria after ex-partner’s actions on first night

Published by Sam Flores

A man “had to flee” Gran Canaria after his ex-girlfriend battered him on the first night of their ill-fated holiday. Alisha Lloyd bit and repeatedly punched her former partner after he took exception to her speaking to another male during a drinking session on the Spanish island, their relationship having ended around two weeks prior to the trip abroad. The teenager was even said to have ripped part of her estranged boyfriend’s t-shirt off with her teeth during the prolonged assault and had him turfed out of their hotel when she wrongly told security staff she had been the victim. Being left “scared for his safety”, he then packed his bags and flew home “to get away from her”. Liverpool Crown Court heard yesterday, Wednesday, that Lloyd, of Byron Close in Huyton, had been in a relationship with Calum Wignall between February and June of last year. Prior to their split, the couple had booked a 10-day holiday to Gran Canaria and decided to continue with their travel plans together. Matthew Dixon, prosecuting, described how …

On his YouTube page, Unnecessary Inventions, Benedetto highlights an absolutely wild, 3D-printed suitcase decked out with multiple creative additions designed to make airport life at least a little bit more enjoyable. But as the inventor found out on the suitcase’s inaugural test run, there is a price to pay for putting form over function. “With all of these rising issues at airports, it seems like the only logical thing for me to do is to work on a project that is solely dedicated to [traveling],” he explained during his video introduction.

The Best Aluminium Suitcase for Men: 2026 Edition

Published by Akaay

Luggage is rarely something you think about until it lets you down. A wheel jams halfway through a terminal. A handle starts to wobble after a few trips. The shell picks up scuffs that don’t look like character, just wear. Most suitcases are built to do a job, not to be enjoyed. Every now and again, though, something cuts through. A piece that makes you reassess what good actually looks like. Not louder, not trend-driven, just better. That’s exactly what Carl Friedrik has managed with its new aluminium carry-on. It’s one of those rare objects that feels considered from every angle, the kind of thing that makes you want to travel just to use it. Which says a lot about the state of luggage. Most of it is built to hit a price point, not to last. The result is familiar. Wheels that behave for a few trips, then don’t. Handles with just enough flex to feel unreliable. Shells that promise durability but quickly look worn in all the wrong ways. Interiors that work in …

Using distraction techniques to steal the items, a man approached a woman at St Pancras Station on December 27 at around 9.45am. He told her she had paint on her jacket and helped her to clean it off. However, a second man swooped in and stole her suitcase and handbag while she was distracted. The items cost more than £8,000.
