  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Samuel Little, 79, has been linked to more than 60 killings in at least 14 states

  • Little, also known as Samuel McDowell, claims to have killed more than 90 women all over the country between 1970 and 2005

  • Little was convicted of killing three Los Angeles-area women and pleaded guilty to killing a Texas woman, and is now serving life sentences in California

  • He has exhausted his appeals and is in failing health, which prosecutors credit with him being forthcoming about details of previously unsolved murders

  • 50 cold homicide cases have been closed as a result of Little's confessions

  • Authorities think most of the remaining unsolved slayings occurred in California

Vietnamese model disciplined for wearing ‘offensive’ skimpy dress at Cannes
[PAGESIX] They’re seeing red in Vietnam over a daring model’s sparse sparkles.

Fashion designer Ngoc Trinh, 29, who showed up to Cannes last month in a glittering dress that barely concealed her intimate areas, is facing a fine in her home country after the eye-popping outfit caused outrage.

The form-fitting dress consisted of sheer material in a halter top which left Trinh’s nipples exposed. A shimmering string wove through the material, and a beaded skirt with a double thigh split left her rear end mostly uncovered.

The dress, which Trinh paired with spiky black heels, was “improper, offensive and has caused public outrage,” fumed Nguyen Ngoc Thien, Vietnam’s Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, according to a report.

The country has imposed penalties on folks who fail to cover up in public, but Trinh’s showing of so much skin has prompted calls from seething officials to change laws.

“She is not an artist that the ministry sent to the event. Her outfit was improper, offensive and has caused public outrage,” Thien told legislators at the National Assembly session in Hanoi, according to the Vietnam Express.

Folks back home had their own opinions of Trinh’s backless, sleeveless, thigh-high, see-through get up, the paper claimed.

Vietnam residents discussing the model’s controversial clothes deemed them “sexually explicit,” “weird” and “gross.”

Caribbean-Latin America
Woman vomited blood, says minibar soda swapped for bleach at Dominican resort where US tourists died
[BIZPACREVIEW] A woman from Brooklyn says she thinks she was poisoned at the same Dominican Republic resort where three U.S. citizens died last month, according to the Daily News.

In October of last year, Awilda Montes and her boyfriend were at the Luxury Bahia Principe Bouganville. She told the Daily News that she took a drink from a bottle of what she thought was soda that was in the minibar in her room. Fortunately, she swallowed just a bit before spitting it out. She found blood in the sink, smelled the bottle and quickly realized it was bleach, she said.

Until news came out about the three deaths at the same resort in May, she believed that her episode was unintentional and perhaps a mistake by a hotel maid.

"I thought the maid service, maybe to not carry the bleach bottle from room to room, would maybe put it into a smaller bottle," Montes told the Daily News. "Or maybe they were trying to take it home to clean their house."

"I honestly never imagined that somebody was trying to purposely do that until now, until watching the three deaths. Now I’m thinking had (the hotel) investigated this mystery, they would be alive."

Montes, 43, has to count herself fortunate that she did not swallow much of the liquid. "I noticed there was no fizz in it but I just figured it was Dominican soda, it was kind of flat. So I took a swig ... and luckily I kind of held it in my mouth a bit and I felt it burn. I swallowed a bit ... (then) ran into the bathroom and spit in the sink," she said.

Seeing blood in the sink, she turned to her boyfriend and said, "’I think this is bleach.’ And he smelled the bottle and he said, ’It is,'" according to The News. She reportedly called the front desk, and she was brought to a medical clinic. Somewhere along the way, someone took the soda bottle from her, she said.

Hotel management offered her a free couples massage and free dinner in return for her signature on a non-disclosure agreement. In agony, she rejected the offer.

Medical records provided to the News indicated "a pain in the dorsal and lateral region of the tongue, accompanied with vomiting ... with a frequency of two occasions following the (ingestion) of a liquid approximately thirty minutes ago."

Is this where plebs go to feel rich ?

Also, the earlier attacks on people happened at the same place ? the FBI should have issued a travel advisory by now.

#2  Here in the USA, bleach is available clear like water although there is a very strong chlorine smell with it, which makes it hard to drink it accidentally.

Never seen white bleach, just sodium hypochlorite & water. What do you put in it to make it white?

Posted by: Frank G || 06/09/2019 10:19 Comments || Top||

#7  Regular bleach is about 5% sodium hypochlorite by weight. If ingested, it is recommended that a person rinse out their mouth with milk or water and then drink a glass of milk or water and call a poison control center. Often, a small amount of bleach is added to water to make it potable.

I doubt that it was household bleach that caused the two deaths.

Huh, WTF?!? I mean, yeah, all hotels put unsealed or uncapped bottles of bleach into the mini-bar.

I wonder if those medical records show a blood-alcohol content.

THIS story is bizarre.

China-Japan-Koreas
Kim Jong-un executes general by throwing him in piranha-filled fish tank
[Daily Star - hold the salt] Kim Jong-un has become a real-life Bond villain after executing one of his generals by throwing him into a piranha-filled fish tank. North Korea's tyrant ordered his death after he was accused of planning a coup.

Kim had a giant fish tank built inside Ryongsong Residence, one of his presidential palaces, after ordering aides to develop new methods of execution.

The victim's arms and torso were cut open with knives before he was thrown into the tank.
"Hans Brix"
Sources said it was unclear whether the general was killed by the fish, died from his wounds or drowned.

The researchers are believed to have come up with several execution methods designed to scare potential plotters.

It is believed they got the idea from the 1977 James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me, in which the villain Karl Stromberg executes opponents by dropping them into a shark-filled aquarium.
"Mwahahahaha!"
Kim's aquarium is filled with several hundred piranhas imported from Brazil. They have razor-sharp teeth and are capable of stripping flesh from a corpse in a matter of minutes

Other execution methods have included blasting traitors to pieces with an anti-tank gun, feeding them alive to tigers, beheadings, hangings and burning prisoners to death with flame throwers.

#2  Dang! I picked Bee.
Posted by: SteveS || 06/09/2019 12:32 Comments || Top||

#3  You need at least 25-30 gallons of water per fish. Piranha only of a certain variety are extremely carnivorous, and when agitated may bite something to death even when not hungry. Importantly, a school of piranha has to be maintained carefully, monitoring their aggressiveness toward each other 24/7, because the moment one fish rubs another the wrong way, it all turns to a destruction derby of fins and teeth. Only an idiot would put so many of the same variety in a single tank.

This approach is stupid and pointlessly sadistic, not to mention criminally expensive and wasteful. The best way to dispose of anti-nationals is a complete medical, harvest of blood, organs, bones and incineration of waste. The method of execution is not what deters men, it is the certainty of it.

India-Pakistan
Inquiry ordered into woman manhandling case
[DAWN] RAW
... India's Research and Analysis Wing, Pakistain's equivalent of the Boogie Man...
ALPINDI: The Punjab
1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....

government has taken serious notice of manhandling of a woman allegedly by a traffic police official of Islamabad in the Police Lines, Rawalpindi.

A video on social media on Friday in which the woman was being dragged apparently by a plain-clothed traffic police official of Islamabad caught the attention of the Punjab government spokesperson Dr Shahbaz Gill who ordered an investigation into the incident.

Police front man said Arshad Gondal, associated with Islamabad traffic police as a fork lifter, was a complainant in a vehicle theft case registered with Sadiqabad in 2018 in which he had nominated three suspects.

He further said the investigating officer had declared all the three suspects innocent in the case.

The front man said the complainant Arshad Gondal filed an application with the SSP Investigation seeking fresh investigation into the case by some other officer.

The SP investigation had called both the parties including the suspects and the complainant to his office.

The woman, who is wife of one of the suspects, also accompanied them.

He said while Arshad Gondal was walking towards the parking area to get his cycle of violence, the woman had a quarrel with him and somebody made their video and uploaded it on social media.

The SSP Investigation while talking to Dawn had confirmed the incident.

He said when he heard screams, he immediately directed the police to take both the parties to the Civil Lines for "protective proceeding" and to take written compromise from them.

However,
some people cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go...
an investigation, headed by DSP Civil Lines had been ordered to ascertain the real circumstance in which they had a quarrel.

The Punjab government’s front man Dr Shahbaz Gill in his tweet said Chief Minister Usman Buzdar had directed the Rawalpindi district police to initiate an inquiry and take strict action against the police official involved in the incident.

Teenage Hindu girl allegedly intoxicated, raped in Tando Mohammad Khan
[DAWN] A 13-year-old Hindu girl was intoxicated and raped by two men in Tando Mohammad Khan on Friday, her family has alleged.
What the hell? They think Tando Mohammad Khan is Rotherham?
Police locked away
Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw!
two suspects for their involvement in the alleged sexual assault. They were remanded into police custody for four days by a local court in Tando Mohammad Khan on Saturday.

According to the first information report (FIR) of the incident, which was lodged on behalf of the girl's father under Sections 376 and 34 of the Pakistain Penal Code, the victim had gone outside of her house to bring some groceries on Friday (June 7); while on her way, two unidentified suspects called her towards them. The girl said that when she went to them, the two forced her to drink liquor and then proceeded to rape her.

The father told the police that when the girl didn't return home after a while, he along with his son started looking for her and found her in distress near Sugar Mills ground. He then rushed his daughter to the Civil Hospital Tando Mohammad Khan and informed police about the matter.

The girl narrated her ordeal to her family after regaining her senses at the hospital, the father said.

According to the father, they belonged to a nomad family and had recently come to Tando Mohammad Khan, although they used to live there in the past as well.

The girl was later referred to the Civil hospital Hyderabad, where different tests were performed on her. Following an initial medical examination, doctors confirmed that "sexual intercourse has taken place".

Tando Mohammad Khan SSP Zulfiqar Talpur told Dawn that DNA samples of the girl and the two suspects have been taken for further investigation.

'Hurry up!': G20 urged to speed up digital tax
[DAWN] Top G20 finance officials agreed on Saturday that there was an urgent need to find a global system to tax internet giants like Google and Facebook but clashed on the best way to do it.

The G20 has tasked the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development to fix an international tax system that has seen some internet heavyweights take advantage of low-tax jurisdictions in places like Ireland and pay next to nothing in other countries where they make huge profits.

OECD chief Angel Gurria presented G20 finance ministers and central bank chiefs meeting over the weekend in the western Japanese city of Fukuoka with a "roadmap", already signed off by 129 countries, in a bid to clinch a long-term solution by 2020.

"We have to hurry up," stressed French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire during a panel discussion of top policymakers before the G20 meeting officially opened.

Le Maire called for a more ambitious timeframe to forge a global consensus, saying: "The right schedule is to find a compromise by the end of this year."

British Finance Minister Philip Hammond said taxing internet giants fairly was a response to something that is "perceived by our population to be a gross injustice in our tax system".
