A NOTORIOUS criminal with a history of brutally bashing women has been released from jail on parole despite attempts to keep him locked up until the day he dies. Gavin Raymond McIntosh, now 43, was sentenced to eight years jail in 2010 after he and two other men forced entry into an Austins Ferry home to rob its innocent occupants, who were asleep in bed. He bashed a young woman s head with an iron bar, causing her to fall unconscious and convulse on the floor. According to Supreme Court judge Helen Wood s published comments on passing judgment, the three men then savagely beat the woman s partner until his skull was visible and fractured, and he too collapsed in convulsions.
Two Topekans suffered suspected serious injuries in a two-vehicle crash in which a man was killed Saturday in southeast Kansas, the Kansas Highway Patrol said.
Gary Alan Flanagan, 74, and Brenda Flanagan, 60, both of Topeka, were taken to Coffey County Hospital in Burlington, according to a highway patrol crash log.
It identified the man who was fatally injured as Raymond McIntosh, 83, of Buffalo in Wilson County.
The crash occurred about 1:50 p.m. on US-75 highway, about 10 miles south of Yates Center in Woodson County, according to the crash log. Yates Center is about 84 miles south of Topeka.
McIntosh, who was driving an SUV westbound on 10th Road, stopped at a stop sign but failed to yield the right-of-way when he pulled onto US-75 and was struck by a car driven by Gary Flanagan, who was southbound on US-75, according to the crash log.
