-Lurid Crime Tales-
''Connecticut Cannibal'' Tyree Smith was a ''serious threat to life'' in prison before release: report
[NYPOST] New prison documents show that Tyree Smith, who has been dubbed the ''Connecticut Cannibal,'' exhibited violent mostly peaceful behavior behind bars and was a ''serious threat to life'' in prison before he was granted release, according to a news report.

Smith confessed to the 2011 killing of a homeless man, Angel Gonzalez, in Connecticut, and he admitted to eating the victim's body parts in a cemetery.

In 2013, a three-judge panel found Smith not guilty by reason of insanity in the death of Gonzalez.

However,
if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning...
he was committed to Connecticut Valley Hospital for 60 years.
2013 was not sixty years ago.
Smith was granted a conditional release by the Nutmeg State's Psychiatric Security Review Board in February 2025, which allows him to leave Connecticut Valley Hospital in Middletown.
"Just let him go. That way none of us will get killed and eaten!"
However,
we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by...
Smith will remain under supervision and will continue to receive mental health services, according to WTNH.

For months, Smith has been staying full-time at a community facility with strict conditions, treatment and around-the-clock supervision, CBS News reported after the release from the hospital was granted.

Terrorist attack at Lady Gaga concert foiled in Rio de Janeiro
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Brazilian police reported that they had prevented a terrorist attack at a concert by American singer Lady Gaga inRio de Janeiro. About 2 million people attended the event, and the detainees were planning to carry out an explosion.

The state police website notes that the crime was planned by a group that recruited people, mostly teenagers, to carry out attacks. At a Gaga concert, the attackers were supposed to detonate a homemade explosive device and throw several Molotov cocktails.

Brazilian law enforcement officials note that the criminals intended to commit terror against minors and members of the LGBT community (the LGBT movement is recognized as extremist in Russia and is banned). At the same time, the perpetrators saw their ultimate goal as gaining fame on social networks.

The leader of the group and the teenager who was preparing the attack at the concert have been detained. According to the police, searches in this case were carried out in different cities of the country.
