Gandhi was known to give away his personal possessions to those who helped him. The glasses were given to the current owner's uncle by the famous leader during a trip to South Africa in the 1920s. The rare item was then passed down through generations before ending up in the letterbox of an auction house in Bristol. These glasses have been lying in a drawer for over 50 years. A sale price was set between £10,000 and £15,000 for the spectacles but fetched over 26 times higher. Gandhi named as 'Man of the Year' by the magazine Time in 1930 was a lawyer, political activist and ambassador for peace. He led the campaign for Indian independence from the rule of Britain in the 20th century by using non-violent resistance. He developed a distinctive look in later life which many may recognise him by - which included the iconic glasses.

Autumn with her biological mother, Kelsey Kruse. Autumn's biological mother, Kelsey Kruse said that the couple had not allowed her to see her daughter for several months out of concern of the coronavirus, and that she was well the last time she saw her. Mad, crazy people everywhere. God will not let us leave our kids to strangers. RIP little one.

The Hallow's six-year-old son and Sarah Hallow's 10 year-old daughter were interviewed by investigators, and both accused their parents of being abusive towards Autumn (pictured). The six-year-old said his parents had used a brown belt to tie up Autumn and put her in a red sleeping bag, which they would move to different rooms or the bathtub. He said they would tie her up any time she misbehaved or urinated in her clothes. The complaint also says that their son heard a large bang coming from the bathroom the same morning Autumn was found dead, when Sarah and Brett were in the bathroom with Autumn.

Sarah Hallow and father Brett Hallow were both arrested the following day, and charged with one count of second-degree murder and first-degree manslaughter on Monday. The pair are being held without bond. The criminal complaint states that responding officers noticed that Autumn was 'extremely frail and thin,' and despite Sarah Hallow allegedly claiming that she had found Autumn face down in the bathtub water that day, officers also said that her skin was dry and her hair was damp when they found her. The complaint also states that Sarah Hallow told officers that Autumn said she was going to take a shower, but when she went to check on the eight-year-old 40 minutes later, she found her face down in the water. However, Autumn also had cuts and marks on her forehead as well as multiple bruises, and her fingers were blue when officers found her, police said. An autopsy report found head trauma, and said she likely died from asphyxiation. Documents also alleged Autumn was punished if she tried to get food, urinated on the floor or in her clothes. The couple also have a 10-year-old daughter who told investigators Autumn would be tied up to prevent her from accessing medications.

*. She was found floating, face down, hands tied in the water. A father and stepmother from Minnesota have been charged with murder in relation to the death of the man's eight-year-old daughter, after she was allegedly tied up in a sleeping bag for wetting herself. Autumn Hallow's body was found severely emaciated after police in Elk River, Minnesota responded to a call last Thursday at around 3.45 p.m. about a girl who was found unresponsive in a bathtub, police said. According to the Sherburne County Sheriff's Office, upon arrival at a complex on the south side of Elk River, officers found Autumn's stepmother Sarah Hallow, 28, performing chest compressions on the girl, who officers said appeared 'extremely frail and thin.' Attempts to revive the girl were unsuccessful, and Autumn was pronounced dead at the scene. She weighed just 45 pounds at the time of her death. Investigators said she had likely been dead for some time before police received the call, based on the condition her body. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8646571/Parents-accused-tying-Minnesota-girl-eight-sleeping-bag-punishment-charged-murder.html?ito=social-facebook
