Quiet Doom by Dax Riggs

Quiet Doom of beating heart
Exploding head and belly full of stars
Oh the quiet doom of a girl and her doll Something like ... nothing like ...
You've never seen before
Satan on my lap against the killing wall
The ghost of jelly roll, haunts the speakers That you stole.

South African police drag Mozambican man from back of police car; man is later found dead

JOHANNESBURG — His hands are tied to the rear of a van while his body lay behind it, on the ground. The van speeds off, dragging the slender taxi driver along the pavement as a crowd of onlookers shouts in dismay and at least one videotapes the scene. The man is later found dead. It’s a gut-wrenching video, made all the more disturbing by the fact that the men who abused the Mozambican man were uniformed South African police officers and the van was a marked police vehicle.

Suicide among elderly on the rise

Suicide among the elderly has soared in recent years, especially in rural areas, prompting experts to call for improved social welfare and medical systems to aid senior citizens. "Our society is in the midst of a transformation, turning into an aged society. The system for senior citizens is not complete, which has a significant impact on the later life of residents," Dang Junwu, deputy director of the China Research Center on Aging, said at a news conference when the country's first Blue Book of Aging was released on Wednesday. People aged 65 or older in China are more likely to commit suicide than any other age group, and the rate has been climbing in recent years, according to the book. "The reasons for elderly suicides are complicated. The major reasons include the loss of spouse, a debilitating and terminal illness and decreased socialization and social support," said Qu Jiayao, a research assistant from the National Committee on Aging.

19 killed in Calcutta fire

The blaze, which started before 4am local time, was likely caused by a short circuit, said West Bengal fire minister Javed Khan. The fire was under control by midmorning, he said, but toxic gases being released by the blaze were hampering rescue efforts. A police official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to the media, said at least 18 people had died. He said police were looking for the owner of the building, which was filled with dozens of small shops selling various plastic products. At least 11 people were admitted to hospital in critical condition and the death toll was expected to rise, Khan said.

Teens 'had three-way sex on corpses of men they lured to their house, strangled to death and hog-tied'

An 18-year-old woman with a necrophilia fetish had three-way sex on the corpses of two men who she and her sexual partners strangled, it was claimed today. Joshua Miner, 24, piled the bodies of Eric Glover and Terrence Rankins, both 22, together and placed a beige sheet across them so he and his longtime girlfriend, Alisa Massaro, could lie together on top of them at Massaro's home in Joliet, Illinois, according to police reports. Miner told police he remembered 'years back' that Massaro had told him she 'wanted to have sex with a dead guy,' so he hoped to fulfill part of her fantasy, according to documents. Adam Landerman, the 19-year-old son of a police sergeant, may have joined Massaro and Miner's sexual romp, as well, the report says. Patch.com released the revolting new details today in the shocking January 10 murders - allegedly committed by Miner, Landerman, Massaro and 18-year-old Bethany McKee.

'False prophet' killed three men after luring them with hoax Craigslist ad, jury hears in murder trial

A self-proclaimed street preacher accused of killing three men who answered a Craigslist ad for a non-existent job, preyed on people who were down on their luck, a prosecutor said yesterday.

Drunken reveller, 22, fell off hotel bed and was impaled through the nostril by her own UMBRELLA

A drunken reveller had a lucky escape when she impaled her face on an umbrella after a boozy drinking session. Jessica Yates fell off a hotel bed and onto one of the spokes of her recently discarded umbrella, which pierced into her nose, sliced down through her gum and into her mouth. But the 22-year-old, from Solihull, West Midlands, admitted she had 'drunk so much she could not feel the pain' initially. Friend Laura Sullivan dialled 999 as the black and green umbrella was stuck fast and too dangerously placed to pull out. Miss Yates instead went to meet the paramedics with the umbrella still hanging from her face. She was rushed to hospital where most of it was cut away to leave a six-inch spike still embedded through her nose.

Sicko Juan Corona rots in jail after mass killings on California fruit farms

Strange that a receipt for a slab of meat would turn out to be the main clue in the worst case of butchery America had ever seen. In the spring of 1971, fruit farms around Yuba City, Calif., 40 miles north of Sacramento, brought forth a harvest of horror — dead men, mutilated — some beyond recognition — and buried in peach orchards. Eventually, investigators would dig up 25 victims, most of them white male vagrants or transient farm workers. They were known as “fruit tramps,” wanderers who picked peaches for a few days and then moved on. The killings came to light on May 19, 1971, when peach grower Goro Kagehiro went out to inspect his orchard and discovered that someone had dug a large hole, about 6 feet long and 3 feet deep, on his land. When he went back the next day, the hole was filled in with fresh dirt. Figuring someone had been using his property as a garbage dump, Kagehiro called the sheriff. After a few minutes of digging, they realized this was no case of illegal trash disposal. They uncovered a dead man. He had been knifed repeatedly in the chest, and the back of his head had been split open by two powerful blows from what appeared to be a meat cleaver or machete.

Son 'stabs mother to death' just weeks after judge insisted he be freed from mental hospital - against parent's wishes

A Michigan man came home Wednesday evening to find his wife had been stabbed to death and their 'psychotic' 19-year-old son is charged with her murder. David Kellen Grow was arraigned Thursday on an open murder count in Jackson County District Court for accusations that he used a knife to kill his mother, 49-year-old Robin Denise Grow, in their Concord home. The 19-year-old's parents had hospitalized him for mental instability for 10 days in January until a judge ordered that he be released against his parents wishes. It was 23 days later that he allegedly murdered his mother.

Cancer epidemic hits China after decades of pollution spark boom in disease

Decades of reckless pollution have spawned a string of toxic ‘cancer villages’, the Chinese government admitted for the first time yesterday. In a rare admission, the Environment Ministry accepted the country’s 30-year breakneck industrial boom and lax laws had caused ‘many’ environmental disasters and led to a spike in cancer-related deaths. 'In recent years, toxic and hazardous chemical pollution has caused many environmental disasters, cutting off drinking water supplies, and even leading to severe health and social problems such as "cancer villages",' the ministry said in its damning report.

'It was the devil's work': Georgia executes 'mentally ill' man who killed two college students in 1995

A 'senseless' killer who shot dead two university students in 1995 was executed in the United States last night despite claims he was mentally ill. Andrew Allen Cook, an inmate in the U.S. state of Georgia, apologised to his victims' families as he was injected with the sedative pentobarbital. He shot Mercer University students Grant Patrick Hendrickson, 22, and Michele Lee Cartagena, 19, several times as they sat in a car in Lake Juliette, around 75 miles from Atalanta. Cook's lawyers had appealed the death sentence, arguing that the 38-year-old inmate, who was being treated for depression at the time of his death, was mentally ill. He was pronounced dead at Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison at 11.22pm, around 14 minutes after he was injected.

(...)

As he was strapped to a gurney in the death chamber he used his last words to say: 'I'm sorry. I'm not going to ask you to forgive me. I can't even do it myself.'

Father charged with rape of 'disabled' daughters

A French father of five has been charged with raping three of his daughters, one as young as 15. The shocking development comes a month after the family were found confined to their filthy council house for the last year. Dominique Barreteau, 51, the only member of the family seen by neighbours in over a year, had been detained in a psychiatric hospital since the family was discovered by emergency services who responded to a call from the mother, Christine Barreteau, 47 during the night of January 4th.

The children, aged 15, 17, 19 and 20, and described as having learning difficulties, were found prostrate in the mould-covered apartment in a block of social housing in the rundown port of Saint-Nazaire on France's Atlantic coast. On Thursday, a court in the city of Nantes indicted Mr. Barreteau on charges of “rape and sexual assault” of three of his daughters. The couple’s oldest daughter, aged 25, who no longer lives with her family, was responsible for informing police about the alleged crimes, according to a report in French daily Le Parisien on Friday. The father was already being held in custody on charges of ‘deprivation of food and care,’ and ‘moral and material neglect’ of the children. Christine Barreteau, was handed a four-month suspended sentence on Tuesday, also for ‘moral and material neglect.’

Japan executes three death-row inmates

TOKYO — The Justice Ministry said Thursday that a child killer and two other convicted murderers were hanged, its first executions since a conservative government swept to power in landslide elections in December. Kaoru Kobayashi, 44, killed a seven-year-old girl and sent a photograph of the dead body to her mother in 2004, while Masahiro Kanagawa, 29, killed one man and injured seven other people in a knifing spree outside a shopping mall in a Tokyo suburb in 2008. He also murdered another man in a separate incident the same year. The third was Keiki Muto, 62, who strangled a bar owner for money in 2002.

'Debt-ridden son shot dead his mother and father in £230,000 inheritance scam after they survived car crash he faked months earlier'

I couldn't emphasize the 'fucking asshole' and 'stupidity' bit more...

A man blasted his mother and father to death with a sawn-off shotgun to inherit a £230,000 will after they survived a car accident he staged months earlier, a court has heard. Stephen Seddon murdered Robert Seddon, 68, and Patricia, 65, in their suburban home because they survived after he drove a car into a Manchester canal with them strapped in the back seats in an earlier bid to kill them, it is alleged. The 46-year-old father-of-three had debts and an insatiable need for cash, Manchester Crown Court was told.

Chinese businessman wanted for 'slaughtering family of four' extradited to the UK after 14 months on the run in Morocco

A Chinese businessman wanted by police for the murders of a family of four has been extradited to the UK. Anxiang Du was arrested in Morocco last year on suspicion of killing university lecturer Jifeng 'Jeff' Ding, his wife Ge 'Helen' Chui and their two daughters Alice, 12, and Xing, 18. He had been on the run for 14 months in Morocco where he was found working on a building site and sleeping rough in a half-built block of flats. Mr Du, from Coventry, worked at a herbal medicine shop in Birmingham but disappeared the day after losing a court battle over his shared business interests with the Ding family. An international man hunt was launched but Du managed to evade capture in Morocco - despite being arrested just five days after the killings. Moroccan police let him go because British police failed to let Interpol know he was a wanted man, it was claimed at the time.

Given a snack and then taken out and shot: Horrifying last moments of helpless boy, 12, who was 'executed by Sri Lankan army because his father was a Tamil Tiger leader'

Disturbing new images have emerged of the dead body of the 12-year-old son of a Tamil leader that researchers say could prove he was executed by Sri Lankan government forces. The photographs of Balachandran Prabhakaran, son of Velupillai Prabhakaran, head of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, were taken in May 2009 at the end of the government's conflict with the rebels. The first pictures appear to show the child in the custody of Sri Lankan forces and he is seen sitting on a bench wrapped in a blanket and eating some food.

A British student has been gang-raped by four men on a balcony in Thailand after being dragged off the street as she came out of a bar in the early hours of the morning. The men had been driving around in a pick-up truck when they spotted the 20-year-old coming out of the popular night spot on Saturday morning. Police said the girl was drunk and had been left by a fellow traveller from South Africa after both had been advised to leave the bar because of their condition.

Man bashed partner with shovel, left her lying in pool of blood court told

A Napier man fractured his partner's skull when he allegedly hit her with a spade and left her lying in a pool of blood after an argument, a court has heard. A jury trial for Andrew Tauira Whatarau began today at the Napier District Court in which he is defending a charge of causing grievous bodily harm with intent. The incident occurred in the early hours of April 22 last year at Whatarau's residence in Maraenui after the two had attended a party at a friend's house. The woman was taken to hospital with injuries that included a six centimetre wound to the back of her head, a fractured skull and bleeding around the brain, crown prosecutor Nicola Graham told the court. After returning from the party to find herself locked out of the house, she proceeded to smash several windows before Whatarau allegedly hit her with the garden spade. "He ran outside and hit her in the head with it," Mrs Graham said. "Afterwards he then went back inside . . . he left her, literally, lying in a pool of blood." She said his response was "definitely" not reasonable given the circumstances.

Sharon Lopatka dies when kinky online torture sex goes wrong

In 1996, the olden days of online hookups, Sharon Lopatka found the man of her dreams on the Internet. Granted, her dreams were unconventional. Lopatka’s come-on involved just one “dimension of compatibility,” not eHarmony’s 29. Posting in an alt.sex newsgroup she asked, “Want to talk about torturing to death?” She added, “I hope you all don’t think I'm strange or anything.” Some did, but at least one didn’t. And the story of how they got together and what happened when they did set a very high standard for Internet interpersonal nuttiness.

(...)

For two months, NanConcentric and Slowhand exchanged dozens of graphic messages about violent sexual fantasies. Police later said a printout of their dirty talk — retrieved from Lopatka’s computer — went on for 870 pages. Investigators said Lopatka made it clear in the messages that strangulation during sex was her ultimate fantasy. In turn, police said, Glass ‘described in detail how Slowhand was going to sexually torture … and ultimately kill her.”

A former girlfriend of Denny Edward Phillips, who is accused in the shooting deaths of a pregnant prostitute featured on HBO's 'Cathouse' series and three other people, claimed in court on Friday that he bragged about the murders. 'He liked to brag. When he was describing the murders, it sounded like bragging,' Kelsey Day testified on the first day of a preliminary hearing for Phillips, 34, that will determine whether he is bound over for trial on six counts of first-degree murder. Day, who was dating Phillips when the November 2009 killings occurred, said Phillips had provided details of the victims' deaths that made her believe that he was there. But an inmate testified that Phillips told him that he helped plan the crimes, but he was not present when the killings happened.

Police say the victim, Demterius Murphy, and his alleged accomplice, 17-year-old Michael Bryant, were trying to burglarize a home in the Gravois Park section of St Louis. The homeowner, a 33-year-old white male, went outside to investigate and reportedly shot Murphy, who was black, as the teen approached him.
