Drinker 'killed dwarf friend by putting 27 anti-depressant tablets into beer as a joke'

A man killed his dwarf friend when he poured 27 tablets into his beer as a joke, a court heard. Lee Webster, 26, played the fatal prank as he drank with 4ft Jason Wood and other friends, it was said. The prosecution claim he tipped 27 mirtazapine anti-depressants into his drink when Mr. Wood, 30, left the room to go to the toilet. Webster then disposed of the prescription pill bottle in a bid to cover up what he done - but Mr. Wood died three hours later, it was claimed.

Teenager killed in botched 'staged kidnapping'

Kyle Dube, 20, is alleged to have used a fake Facebook account to lure Nichole Cable, 15, who had previously rejected his advances, out of her home in Maine, USA. The girl thought she was meeting a different friend and Dube then jumped out of woods wearing a ski mask and abducted her, a police affidavit said. He duct-taped her and put her in the back of his father's pickup truck, intending to later "rescue" her. But he then discovered she was dead so he dumped her body and covered it with branches, police alleged. The cause of her death was unclear and still being determined by a medical examiner, but according to one report the duct-tape may have suffocated her.

Mom dies after swallowing narcotics to protect drug dealer sons

A 70-year-old Spanish woman died Monday after swallowing her drug dealer sons' stash in a desperate bid to stop them from being arrested. The senior citizen wolfed down the narcotics after cops pulled over the car she was in with her two children — ages 37 and 43 — at 2:40 a.m. near Alcala de la Selva in Aragon. Officers noticed she looked "slightly out of it" and took her to a medical center in nearby Teruel. But the woman, identified only as CCC, died of a heart attack soon afterward. Her death, however, turned out to be in vain as police went on to search the homes of her children, identified as VFC and RFC, and discovered cocaine and marijuana.

Third-grade boy forced to perform oral sex on three male classmates at Harlem school

A third-grade boy was dragged into a bathroom at his Harlem elementary school and forced to perform oral sex on three male classmates, including one who was involved in an attack on a female student two years earlier, according to a bombshell lawsuit. The 8-year-old boy had just finished lunch at Public School 194 and was in a hallway waiting for class to start when a fifth-grader, the ringleader, and two third-graders pushed him screaming and pleading for help into a bathroom stall, the lawsuit says. He said one boy held his hands behind his back during the March 2012 attack while another forced him to his knees. The three culprits then took turns pulling their pants down and demanded that the victim perform oral sex, according to court papers.

Maximum sentence imposed on Kansan who talked of roasting and eating children

A Kansas man whose gruesome online chats about killing, roasting and eating children shocked even hardened child porn investigators was sentenced Wednesday to 30 years in prison. And when investigators seized data from Michael D. Arnett’s computer last May, they found images of a naked and unidentified boy, no more than 2 years old, lying in a roasting pan and sitting in an oven. Agents determined the pictures had been taken in Arnett’s home, court records said. Still, authorities said at the sentencing hearing that neither Arnett nor Ronald William Brown of Largo, Fla., ever acted on the grisly fantasies found in their online discussions.

Arnett, 38, of Roeland Park, pleaded guilty to one count of production of child pornography in February, hoping to persuade a Kansas City, Kan., federal judge to sentence him to only 20 years in prison, rather than the 30-year maximum. But the scales of justice tipped away from the former paramedic who had an easy way with children when the father of the child in the roasting pan stepped up to testify. The horror of the year since Arnett’s arrest was clear in the father’s soft voice. “That ain’t something to play with,” the father said. “That should never have been done. You were dealing with kids.”

Bacon, eggs (sunny-side-up) and canned milk: Modest last meal of man executed for 1990 rape and murder of 10-year-old girl

Gee, I hope somebody at least didn't forget to give him a napkin so he can wipe his mouth clean before he got that injection?!

What's with these pussified means of letting rapists and murderers have their last chance to be 'normal' and get what they want? If somebody's on death row and his/her time has come, Before they walk out there and get their comeuppance they should be used as punching bags, get clubbed, battered, molested, abused, stabbed, severely before they get that injection, serves them fucking right! But instead, before their last moment they get pampered. Why? I hope his meal tasted like crap and was poorly prepared... Fucking loser...

Penas del infierno, siglo XVII

Andrea Locatelli - Magic Scene

Andrea Locatelli was an Italian painter of landscapes. Born in Rome, he was the son and pupil of the painter Piero Locatelli, who had studied with the Florentine Ciro Ferri.

The painting affords a view into the ruins of a sacred-looking building whose vault is borne by ruinous columns. The tooth of time has gnawed at these structures with their antique spoils, and the force of nature has likewise left its mark: Stony remains such as the stump of a column on an elevated base are overgrown with mossy vegetation.

These details unite to present us with the creepy, rotting locus of an evil spirit, where reason sleeps. The witch-like figure of Ananke, the messenger of death, evokes associations of Cronos-Saturn’s dark realm of the dead.

The spectator inadvertently becomes a witness to occult acts, a magical ritual, a necromantic operation. The painting is evidently a very personal statement by the painter who, in 1741, at the end of his life, has come into circumstances of dire privation. At the same time, with its fantastical theme – occurring only this once throughout the artist’s oeuvre – the work also describes the mood of an ambivalent epoch in which, alongside enlightened ideas such as those of Voltaire, occult traditions, for example the dark arts of Cagliostro, have managed to survive.

'Smoking' alcohol is a highly dangerous trend among the calorie-conscious

In an effort to lose weight, Broderic Allen stopped drinking. The North Texas man lost 80 pounds - but was unwilling to give up his buzz entirely. Instead, Allen turned to a disturbing technique: inhaling alcohol, which he says provides all of the flavor and intoxication of chugging a mixed drink with none of the sugars and calories. Allen, who achieves his high by pouring liquor over dry ice and "smoking" the vapors, called the tactic a way to "have my cake and eat it, too." "I am inhaling it. It just looks like I'm drinking it," Allen told Fox's KCTV-5 as he downed his concoction. "If you do it too much at one time it kind of overwhelms you."

Texas grandpa shot down by cops in his own driveway

A 72-year-old grandfather - a law-abiding family man, his neighbors said - was shot Tuesday by police in the driveway of his home after he stepped outside to check on a noise on his quiet street in East Fort Worth, Texas. The details of the shooting Tuesday night, which shocked Jerry Waller's friends and family, are fuzzy so far. But what is clear from police is that when Waller went to investigate what he thought was a disturbance near his garage, he took his .38-caliber handgun with him. When uniformed officers arrived to investigate a neighbor's burglar alarm across the street from Waller's house, the two rookies apparently felt in danger when they saw Waller in his driveway holding the gun, and fired at him six times.

Puppy with legs brutally cut off found in Puerto Rico

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Authorities are investigating what they say is one of the worst cases of animal abuse they've seen in Puerto Rico: a puppy found alive with all four legs largely cut off, leaving exposed bone. Members of a group that feeds and tries to find homes for abandoned pets said Tuesday that they found the mutilated puppy over the weekend in a parking lot near a resort in the northern coastal town of Hatillo. They had seen the same puppy when they fed it Friday, and it had not been abused when they last saw it frolicking on the beach with its mother and siblings.

Gurkiren Kaur Loyal's family said she was being treated for a simple case of dehydration when staff at a clinic gave her a mystery injection which took her life. Her relatives said they guarded the eight-year-old's body, meaning her organs could not be taken in time to be used in transplant operations. But she was then subjected to a "medieval" post-mortem, during which all her major organs were removed in a bid to hide the truth of how she had been killed, the grieving family claim. It was only once her body was flown home to Britain that they discovered her organs were missing and only her eyes remained, the family said.

'I've rid the world of 160,000 demons', says Catholic Church's leading exorcist as he calls on the Pope to allow all priests to perform the ritual

Fucking retarded liars, how dare they lie publicly about such a stupid showmanship act?! As if it works or helps... I'll exercise those cunt priests to not be kiddie fuckers... That would be a nice change.

The Catholic Church's leading 'exorcist' is calling for all priests to be allowed to conduct the ritual after Pope Francis apparently performed one in St Peter's Square last week. Father Gabriele Amorth, head of the International Association of Exorcists, wants the current rules requiring all priests to obtain permission to perform exorcisms from their bishop to be relaxed. Father Amorth, who claims he has carried out 160,000 exorcisms, said his request has been prompted by Pope Francis performing an what he insists was an exorcism on a Mexican man 'possessed by four demons'. He told the Sunday Times: 'I will ask the pope to give all priests the power to carry out exorcisms, and to ensure priests are properly trained for these starting with the seminary. There's a huge demand for them.'

Female suicide bomber injures 11 in Russian region

MAKHACHKALA, Russia (AP) — A female suicide bomber injured at least 11 police officers and civilians, including two children, in the southern Russian region of Dagestan on Saturday, police said. Police spokesman Vyacheslav Gasanov said the bomber blew herself up in the central square in the provincial capital, Makhachkala. He did not give details about the injured children. Since 2000, at least two dozen women, most of them from the Caucasus, have carried out suicide bombings in Russian cities and aboard trains and planes. All were linked to an Islamic insurgency that spread throughout Dagestan and the predominantly Muslim Caucasus region after two separatist wars in neighboring Chechnya.

The son of a former aide to President George W. Bush has been charged with murdering a man with a hatchet at his home. Claude Alexander Allen III, 20, was arrested on Friday by police after they found the body of Michael Phillip Harvey, 25, in the woods near the Allen family home in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Records show that the home is owned by Allen's father, Claude A. Allen, a former Bush domestic policy adviser who pleaded guilty to theft in 2006. The student called 911 around midnight and told police that he killed an intruder after he tried to break in. But authorities determined it wasn't a break-in and that the younger Allen knew Harvey.

Man jailed for four years for strangling mother

A man who strangled his elderly mother during an argument at their home in the New South Wales southern highlands will spend at least four years behind bars. Terrence Kain phoned his sister one night in February 2011 and simply said: "Mum's dead. I strangled her, she's dead." When police arrived at the Goulburn home Kain, who has alcohol-induced dementia, told them he had "freaked out". "I'm not a bad guy, I just lost control," Kain said. Kain, 48, was acquitted of the murder of his 74-year-old mother Beverly Kain, but convicted of manslaughter. Mrs Kain's body was found in her bedroom. Justice Michael Adams described Kain as remorseful and said the incident was entirely out of character.

Woman choked and raped by ex-boyfriend after dispatcher informs her there are no cops to help - and instead tells her to ask attacker to leave

A terrified woman from Josephine County, Oregon, dialed 911 to report that her violent ex-boyfriend is trying to break into her home, but in response she was told that there are no officers on duty to help her. The cash-strapped sheriff’s department in the county had been forced to lay off 23 of its 29 deputies after losing millions in federal aid. The remaining six officers had their shifts slashed to eight hours Monday through Friday. Unfortunately for the woman faced with an out-of-control jilted lover, her 911 call came on a Saturday. Eventually, the crazed man forced his way into the house, choked his former girlfriend and raped her without no one there to stop him. The suspect, Michael Bellah, was later arrested and pleaded guilty to kidnapping, assault and sex abuse. The details of her horrific ordeal last August emerged on Tuesday after voters in Josephine and Curry counties with the lowest property taxes in the state turned down tax increases that would have increased the number of officers on the force.

'We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you': Chilling words of bloodied man 'after he hacked soldier in Help For Heroes T-shirt to death in terror attack'

A dramatic video emerged tonight of a man with bloodied hands, carrying knives and ranting 'We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you', after a serving soldier was hacked to death by two men just 200 yards from an Army barracks. The man can be seen and heard talking to the camera in footage obtained by ITV News. It came as terrified eyewitnesses saw two men shot by police marksmen after the machete attack in Woolwich, south-east London. It is thought that the two men waited around for 20 minutes until police arrived and then tried to attack them - but were swiftly shot by armed officers including a woman. They apparently shouted 'Allah Akbar', which means 'God is great' in Arabic, and tried to film the attack, the BBC's political editor Nick Robinson said. Theresa May tonight called a meeting of the Government's emergency Cobra committee in response to the machete and knife attack on the man who was wearing a Help for Heroes t-shirt. The Home Secretary said she had been briefed on the killing by the head of MI5 and police later confirmed they were treating the incident as a possible terror attack.

First pictures of the missing as devastated parents search for children trapped beneath rubble of elementary school after tornado pulverizes Oklahoma suburb killing dozens

Devastated families are frantically searching for young children trapped under the rubble of an elementary school that was flattened after a monster two-mile wide tornado roared through Moore in Oklahoma, leaving dozens dead. Nine-year-old Janae Hornsby is among the children missing after Plaza Towers Elementary School was reduced to debris on Monday afternoon after the building took a direct hit during the 45 minutes of terror. Janae's heartbroken father, an Iraq veteran, and grandmother have released images of the young girl 'who always has a smile on her face' and have put out a desperate plea for information after they failed to reach Plaza Towers before the 200mph winds rattled through. She is among as many as 24 children aged between five and eight missing from the school, where seven youngsters were found drowned on Monday night after water pipes burst beneath the rubble. Initial reports said as many as 91 people across the suburb south of Oklahoma City could have been killed in the tragedy, but officials confirmed on Tuesday morning there have been 24 deaths. They now fear for as many as 40 others and expect the death count to rise. At least 240 people are injured, 60 of these children. President Barack Obama has declared a major disaster area in Oklahoma, ordering federal aid to supplement state and local efforts in Moore.

Senior killed by donkeys after being dragged from scooter

A pair of donkeys will be put down after they chased down a pensioner on his motor scooter, dragged him off and killed him. Sandor Horvath, 65, a retired firefighter, was visiting a pal's farm in Magyarszecsod, Hungary, last week when he was attacked by killer donkeys Muki and Szamoca. The animals bit and trampled him to death after dragging him about 50 metres, according to Horsetalk.co.nz. Horvath was so badly mutilated he was missing a hand and it was originally thought he had been ravaged by a wolf pack. An autopsy determined the donkeys were responsible for killing Horvath, who lived in a nearby cottage. Police said the donkeys will be treated like dogs that kill and euthanized.

A 19-year-old man is facing multiple charges in connection with an unprovoked stabbing spree near Kingsway Mall

Police responded to reports that two men had been approached by another man in the parking lot outside of the McDonald’s at 111 Avenue and 106 Street around 6 p.m. Saturday in an attempted robbery. When the two men refused to hand over their cash, the man lunged at one of them, slicing his shirt and stabbing a 25-year-old man in the back. The robber then rode across the street on his bicycle to the transit station at Kingsway Mall, approached at 34-year-old man from behind and stabbed him in the left arm.

A 50-year-old women tried to distract the assailant as he chased the 34-year-old victim on foot. The man then got on his bike and rode away, only to return shortly after. When the man returned, he stabbed the 50-year-old woman in the back, inflicting life-threatening injuries in what police say appears to be retribution for her efforts to aid the 34-year-old victim. The man tried to escape on his bike before he was apprehended by police. Alcohol and drugs may have been a factor behind the man’s behavior, which was described by police as “erratic.”
