Siegaue, Bonn
Bonn police confirmed on Saturday that a 31-year-old man, resembling a facial composite sketch published by authorities on Monday, had been arrested on suspicion of attacking a young couple from Stuttgart early last Sunday.
"We are optimistic that we have the right people," said police spokesman Robert Scholten.
The suspect was reportedly seen by two dog walkers on the Rhine riverbank early on Saturday morning. When the police approached the man shortly after, he threw away his backpack and tried to run away. He was quickly caught and is due to stand before a committing magistrate on Sunday.

The perpetrator allegedly attacked a 23-year-old woman and her 26-year-old boyfriend as they camped in the picturesque Siegaue area on the outskirts of Bonn. 
After entering the couple's tent, he is alleged to have threatened them with a branch saw in "broken English," then to have forced the woman outside and raped her, before fleeing the scene,.
The suspect was earlier described by investigators as a dark-skinned individual in his 20s, around 180 centimeters (5 feet 11 inches) tall.
Following the arrest on Saturday, detectives looked more closely at the backpack, which is believed to have been stolen from people attending a nearby barbecue, just like the branch saw, which was recovered by investigators on Thursday.

WE HAVE TRACED $487.5M, N47.2BN IN CASH AND PROPERTIES TO MRS DIEZANI ALISON-MADUEKE

By

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission said it had so far, through painstaking investigations by its operatives, traced N47.2bn and $487.5m in cash and properties to a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke. These, the anti-graft agency said, were apart from "boxes of gold, silver and diamond jewellery, worth several million British pounds sterling," discovered during a search of Diezani's palatial residences in Abuja. The EFCC said it discovered several of Diezani's landed properties scattered all over Lagos and other parts of the country in the course of its investigations, adding that it was doubtful if the former minister declared her true assets as required of public officials. This was contained in an article entitled, "Diezani Alison-Madueke: What an appetite," jointly authored by two officers in the EFCC's Public Affairs Directorate, Tony Orilade and Aishah Gambari, and which was made available to The PUNCH.

OUR LAND MUST BE HEALED: PRESS RELEASE ON THE UGEP CRISIS OF JUNE 29, 2017 Yesterday, June 29, 2017 I lost my nephew , Jude Iroh Junior in the cult related war currently ravaging Ugep, my ancestral home. As painful as the loss of this relative is, many of us saw it coming. I didn't know I will be a direct victim. It would have been any of us. For years, I have been raising alarms on the stockpiling of arms by politicians and the arming of jobless youths by them for elections. This hydra-headed demon they created is what has also snowballed into the present crisis. As a community, we know the perpetrators of these crimes. They are our siblings and friends. However, we continue to shield them. Today I am a victim. Tomorrow it will be you. In my family's case, we have summoned my nephew who was killed yesterday to a family meeting some weeks earlier and directed him to quit when we learnt he is a member of a blood thirstily and murderous cult group known as Viking  . He acknowledg...

HEADLESS TORSO AMPUTATED 'DELIBERATELY' COULD BE SUBMARINE JOURNALIST, DANISH POLICE SAY

By
Image
Danish police say the size of a headless female torso found on the sea's edge in Copenhagen suggests it could be that of a Swedish journalist who died after taking a submarine ride with the vessel's Danish inventor. Police said divers were still searching the area and they were investigating reports of other body parts that may have been spotted in Copenhagen harbour. Danish inventor Peter Madsen has been charged with killing Kim Wall , a Swedish journalist, in his home-made submarine. "We're dealing with a torso where arms, legs and head were cut off deliberately," Copenhagen police spokesman Jens Moller said in a video statement. "The length of the torso doesn't speak against it being Kim Wall, but we still don't know." Mr Madsen told a court she had died in an accident on board the submarine and that he had buried her at sea, changing his earlier statement that he dropped her off alive in Copenhagen. Police are conducting DNA tests to identify...

How we make money by killing and kidnapping "It  is my destiny to become a kidnapper, stop asking me why I did it. It is true that my parents are rich cattle rearers, I have no excuse except that it is the wish of Allah," retorted Abduraham Ahmed, a Fulani herdsman who was obviously irritated by the repeated query as to why he decided to abandon cattle rearing for a career in abduction.     He is among several kidnap suspects recently arrested by operatives of the Special Tactical Squad (STS) deployed by the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, to check the wave of kidnap and robbery attacks along the corridors of Kaduna, Kano, Kogi and Niger states' highways in the past months.

    REX TILLERSON US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson firmly denied Wednesday that he had fallen out with Donald Trump and vowed to remain in post, dismissing a report that he had once called the president a “moron.” For his part, Trump declared he has “total confidence” in his top diplomat after both had denied an explosive report that Tillerson became so frustrated over the summer that he considered resigning.
