MOTHER ALLEGED OF RAPIST"S MURDER GETS SUPPORT FROM CIVIL SOCIETIES

By


A 55-year-old woman from Lady Frere in the Eastern Cape who rescued her daughter from three alleged rapists, says she still can't believe that one of them is a relative.

The woman allegedly killed one of her 27-year-old daughter's alleged rapists and wounded two others.  

The incident happened a week ago.

The woman, who is currently out on bail of R500, says local women in the area live in fear and this has left them grappling with trust issues.

“This incident has left me questioning if people still have Ubuntu. When you are with your relative you expect him to be the one who helps you; not the one who harms you. So, this has left me confused. In this street, there are two elderly women who are victims of rape. The victims of such a crime in this village cannot even be counted and the perpetrators are known. They rape and kill, but they still live among us.”

Meanwhile, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) says it will charge the Eastern Cape woman for murder.

Natalie Kendrick, an individual who came across the story through social media and has since assisted in contributing for the legal services of the mother and daughter, says the pair is in need.

“When the story broke on Twitter, everybody was asking about how they could support her legal fees and that’s why I started the crowd funding page. It’s quite a scary thing that happened to both mother and the daughter and they also have other needs. They don’t have a lot of money and they just need some help.”

NORTH KOREAN IMAGES SUGGEST MISSILE/S MAY BE CAPABLE OF HITTING ANYWHERE IN AMERICA - U.S EXPERTS SAY

North Korea said the new missile reached an altitude of about 4,475 km (2,780 miles) - more than 10 times the height of the International Space Station - and flew 950 km (590 miles) during its 53-minute flight. Images released by North Korea on Thursday appeared to show it has succeeded in developing a missile capable of delivering a nuclear weapon anywhere in the United States and it could be only two or three tests away from being declared combat ready, U.S.-based experts said on Thursday. North Korea released dozens of photos and a video after Wednesday's launch of the new Hwasong-15 missile, and leader Kim Jong Un declared the country had "finally realized the great historic cause of completing the state nuclear force". U.S.-based experts, some of whom have been sceptical about past North Korean claims to have put all of the United States in range, said data from the latest test and the photos appeared to confirm North Korea has a missile of suffici...

SEE PHOTO OF LADY WHO BIT OFF NEIGHBOUR`S TONGUE

By
Alhaji Abass Street, Ogudu, Lagos State, has turned into a theatre of the absurd after a 29-year-old resident, identified simply as Biodun, allegedly cut off the tongue of her confidant, Babangida Sulyman. It was learnt that 23-year-old Babangida was an errand boy to the unmarried woman, helping her to buy food and deliver messages. They both reside in the same compound, where the incident happened last Tuesday. While Babangida lives with his mother, Biodun squats with her married elder sister. PUNCH Metro learnt that the duo had enjoyed a mutual relationship for about two years, until sometime in March 2017 when Babangida’s mother asked him to quit the friendship after a disagreement broke out between him and Biodun. Our correspondent gathered that Babangida, after his mother’s directive, kept Biodun at arm’s length. Biodun, however, reportedly approached Babangida for reconciliation two weeks ago, and pleaded with...

The respondent also said that his wife was violent in nature. “There was a day we had disagreement, she picked up a stone and broke the windscreen of my car,” the petitioner said.

KIM JONG NAM HAD ANTIDOTE TO VX NERVE AGENT ON HIM AT THE TIME OF HIS MURDER

By
Image
The half-brother of North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un was carrying an antidote to the poison which killed him at the time of his death, Malaysian state media reported. Malaysia's High Court heard this week Kim Jong Nam had 12 doses of atropine in his sling bag when he was allegedly swabbed with VX nerve agent in Kuala Lumpur International Airport on February 13, news agency Bernama said. Defense lawyer Hisyam Abdullah also confirmed the report to CNN. Abdullah said K. Sharmilah, a government toxicologist, told the court Wednesday she examined the drug along with several other samples provided by police. Atropine provides "primary protection against exposure to chemical nerve agents and insecticide poisoning," according to the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP). "If you know someone is coming after you with a nerve agent, atropine is a key drug you would want to carry," said Nial Wheate, a senior lecturer in phar...

ONIDURO: FINALLY TOPE ALABI APOLOGISES OVER 'ONIDURO STATEMENT. ▪︎"Let Me Acknowledge That My Mistake Was That I Externalised A Personal Message In Public; And I'm Awfully Sorry For Doing That." Initially, I didn't want to delve into the controversy over the gospel hit song, "Oniduro," because I have intervened behind the scenes in concert with other stakeholders in gospel music ministry. However, I discovered that online media would not allow the dust to settle calmly. I want to state that Tope Alabi, Adeyinka Adesioye a.k.a Alaseyori and Tolu Adelegan are all members of the same family of God and they belong to the same calling – singing ministry.

ROYAL RULE BROKEN BY MEGHAN MARKLE AT HER ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT

Prince Harry's Engagement To Meghan Markle Barely breaking the rules: Meghan Markle didn't wear pantyhose to her engagement announcement with Prince Harry on Monday. She hasn't even married her prince yet and Meghan Markle has already committed her first royal fashion faux pas — she went bare-legged in public! The 36-year-old "Suits" star showed up sans pantyhose to her engagement announcement with Prince Harry on Monday, and apparently that's a something of a royal no-no, reports The Cut. While the rule isn't exactly set in stone in some strict royal-family style book, enthusiasts of the monarchy note that Queen Elizabeth herself has worn pantyhose in public for the past, oh, 91 years. Kate Middleton, too, famously wears pantyhose. In fact, many credit the stylish duchess, who usually wears glossy, sheer tights in public, with bringing hose back in vogue for younger Brits. 10 Royal Kisses Caught on Camera Gallery courtesy of T...
