David Hingst said his former colleague Greg Short would "lift his bum and fart" on him up to six times a day. He sued his former company for A$1.8m (£0.97m; $1.28m) last year, but the Supreme Court of Victoria found there was no bullying. Mr Hingst, 56, said the flatulence had caused him "severe stress". 'He would fart and walk away' Mr Hingst, who was a contract administrator based in Melbourne, sued Construction Engineering in 2017 but the case was thrown out in April 2018. He appealed that decision, and was heard by the Court of Appeal on Monday. "I would be sitting with my face to the wall and he would come into the room, which was small and had no windows," Mr Hingst told the Australian Associated Press (APP). "He would fart behind me and walk away. He would do this five or six times a day." At the original hearing last year, Mr Short said he didn't particularly recall breaking wind near Mr Hingst but "may have done it once or twice, maybe". However, he denied he was doing it "with the intention of distressing or harassing" Mr Hingst. Mr Hingst would refer to Mr Short as "Mr Stinky" and sprayed deodorant at him, the court heard. According to news outlet news.com.au, Mr Hingst claimed Mr Short had behaved that way as part of a conspiracy to get rid of him, and said his time at Construction Engineering caused him psychiatric injuries. At his earlier court appearance, he said Mr Short had verbally abused him about his work performance and made bullying phone calls where he branded Mr Hingst "an idiot". Mr Hingst said he had not received a fair trial and felt the judge in charge of his previous case was biased against him. But Justice Phillip Priest said on Monday that the trial judge seemed to have shown "remarkable latitude". "The very distinct impression I get is you were given every opportunity to put your case," he said. The Court of Appeal will deliver its ruling on Friday

Sean Sykes Jnr is facing federal gun and drug charges after being pulled over twice by police in Kansas City. He was initially released in September, but taken back into custody this month. Explosive new details have now emerged of Mr Sykes's original interview in September that was brought to an abrupt end. According to the Kansas City Star newspaper, a detective's report said Mr Sykes "leaned to one side of his chair and released a loud fart" when asked for his address by police while being interviewed in September. "Mr Sykes continued to be flatulent and I ended the interview," the detective wrote after recovering. No charges were filed at the time after Mr Sykes denied knowledge of the items, but the 24-year-old was pulled over again this month. He was charged with stolen firearm offences and possession with intent to sell cocaine. The detective's report emerged during a court appearance on Monday.
