Horrific photos of suspected drug dealers killed on the streets by Police men in the Phillipines

After the president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte's declared a bloody war on illegal drugs and gave the directive for the police to kill drug dealers, it has been a free for all for the Filipino police and vigilantes.
In his first state of the nation address to parliament Mr Duterte, said that drugs were 'drowning his country' and had to be stopped at all costs. 'Double your efforts. Triple them if need be,' Mr Duterte told police.

'We will not stop until the last drug lord, the last financier and the last pusher have surrendered or been put behind bars ... or below ground if you wish,' he said.
In the streets, are the bodies of men killed by the police. Some men are seen stripped to their underwear, with their hands, feet and faces tied. Others have their faces covered in tape before been shot in the head. Wives and family members are seen crying and clutching the lifeless bodies of their loved ones who were killed in the summary executions carried out by police officers, without the benefit of a full and fair trial.
According to human rights groups, the statistics obtained from the police showed Mr Duterte's violent crackdown has claimed the lives of 293 suspected users and pushers in police operations between July 1 and July 24. This figure does not include drug dealers killed by vigilante groups and those working outside the law.
The president also made it clear that he would pardon police if they were charged with human rights violations. 

Nigerian man who posed as a UN officer arrested in Malaysia for 'black money' scam

A Nigerian man who operates a 'black money" was arrested in a hotel in Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on Friday, July 22 while impersonating as a United Nations officer.
The 46-year-old man was nabbed by the Wangsa Maju Commercial CID. OCPD Supt Mohamad Roy Suhaimi Sarif said a 35-year-old South Korean man arrived in Malaysia on July 16 on a special assignment from his boss.He was instructed by his superior to meet a "United Nations Director of Operations" who was selling a special liquid for "washing" black-coloured notes said to total US$300mil.

Little did his boss know that the designation was just a ruse by the Nigerian man to gain his trust before luring him into investing thousands of dollars into the "black money" scam.

The Korean arrived with two of his friends to broker a deal with the so-called UN officer in two meetings held between July 17 and 22. Supt Roy said the Korean trio met the Nigerian at a hotel in Jalan Ampang at about 10.30am on July 22 to finalise the deal. 
"They paid him US$12,000 for the liquid. At 4pm the same day, the Nigerian went back to the hotel with a luggage filled with black 'dollar notes'.
"The Nigerian claimed that the buyers could easily obtain US$100mil by washing the black money with the liquid.
"However, the Korean was not convinced. He told his friends to contact the police," he told reporters at a press conference on Monday, July 25.
Supt Roy said police arrived at the hotel and arrested the Nigerian, who then led them to his apartment unit in Bukit Antarabangsa, Ulu Klang. The suspect has permanent resident status and is married to a local woman with whom he has two children. 
"He lived alone in the apartment while his family stayed in Subang. He has been in Malaysia for 11 years after entering the country as a student. He has been involved in the black money scam for the past four years.
He and his Korean victim had first started corresponding through e-mail and social media," Supt Roy said. Police will verify with the Immigration Department on the validity of the card," he said.
Supt Roy said that though the man had operated alone, police did not rule out the possibility of him being part of a syndicate.

Police recovered the US$12,000 paid by the Korean and seized a black luggage bag filled with black notes, several mobile phones, a MyPR card and a card with falsified UN credentials.

Supt Roy added that the suspect's remand which ended on Tuesday was extended to assist investigation under Section 420 of the Penal Code for fraud.

Cosby Show child actress, Keshia Knight Pulliam who was accused by her estranged husband of cheating on him broke down on Wednesday while discussing her surprise divorce from former pro football player husband Ed Hartwell saying she never cheated on him.
Keshia, 37 and Hartwell, 38, got married 4 months after they met and the actress announced via social media on July 17th that she was pregnant, days after her announcement, Hartwell filed for divorce to end their nearly seven-month marriage while also seeking a paternity test.


Pulliam in an emotional sit-down interview with ET at her home in Atlanta, Georgia said the situation was 'hurtful'. She said:
'I knew I couldn't be silent, because this isn't about money. This isn't about fame. This isn't about social media likes or follows. This is about my character - my integrity as a woman being attacked - and that's not OK,' Pulliam said.
Pulliam insisted she never cheated on her husband while they were married instead she alleged that Hartwell was the one who had been unfaithful. She said when she found out about his cheating, she wanted to divorce him.
In her words:
'Like, I had divorce papers ready. I presented it to him. ... Once I was pregnant I did decide to give him that one last chance,' she said. 'The part that hurt me the most when he filed for divorce was that he had asked me to give him another chance, and I was willing to do that and forgive him, for our family,' she added.
Keshia said she has 'no desire' to reconcile with her husband and will instead concentrate on their daughter.
She said:
'There's a baby in the middle of this! And regardless, if we don't want to be married, that's fine, because we agree on that. But this baby is what's important, and I feel like that's being lost.'' ''I have to move forward. I have to do what I need to do to release the hurt, to release this, and to be happy for me and my baby girl, because the stress isn't good. The stress isn't healthy. And my only priority is her,' she said.'I didn't do anything wrong. I didn't cheat on my husband. I didn't do it. It's really that simple,' Pulliam said.
 She added that truth will prevail when the paternity test is done.

Man who fought for custody of his son for almost a year gets the devastating news he had been dreading

Dillon Wyckoff who had been in a year-long custody battle over his two-year-old son, Mason Wyckoff got a tragic news on Friday that his little boy had passed away possibly at the hands of his mother. Emergency crews were called to his baby mama's apartment where they found the deceased toddler alongside his unconscious mother, Stephenie Erickson. 

He told the Des Moines Register: 
“He was everything in my world. She had threatened and threatened to do it, and she did it to hurt me. They haven’t proven anything yet, but I know down deep that’s what happened.”
“It’s been a year-long battle with all this stuff, and it’s been going downhill…We prayed and prayed it wouldn’t be this.”
Mason’s grandmother, Michel Cunningham, said they had lived in fear for months on end, worrying about Erickson’s mental stability especially after she told Wyckoff he would “never see his son again”: 
“I tried contacting DHS (the Department of Human Services). We’ve dealt with over seven different police departments for over a year. They kept telling us that we had to wait for ‘something to happen.’ And look at what did.
Erickson who was found unconscious beside her 2 year old son was taken to a local hospital and remains in serious condition, though it’s not clear what injuries she sustained or how she got them. 

Erickson’s neighbor said she’d “sit outside and smoke and cry” and never really talked to neighbours,
Wyckoff said of his son, Mason:
“He was always fun, always doing something. He was just getting to the age where I could start doing fun stuff with him, I was looking forward to a lot, a lot of fun. What we had is what we had, I don’t regret any moment of it.”
Amid an ongoing investigation into the incident, Wyckoff is certain that Erickson killed him.

35 year old Nigerian Businessman beaten to death in South Africa

The Nigerian Union in South Africa has confirmed the death of 35 year old Nigerian businessman, Ikejiaku Chinedu, who was beaten to death by guards of a private security firm situated on the outskirts of Polokwane, Limpopo Province of South Africa at about 8p.m on Tuesday July 25th.

Chinedu who is married with three children and hails from Ogwa, Mbaitolu Local Government Area of Imo state, was chased by the guards and seriously beaten until he died. Autopsy carried out showed he had many bruises on him.

The South African police say a thorough investigation will be carried out. The deceased is the 15th Nigerian to be killed in South Africa this year.

Ejike Eleweke, who is facing imminent execution in Indonesia maintains his innocence, refuses to sign paper

Fourteen death row prisoners from Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Pakistan, India and Indonesia were on Tuesday told they had 72 hours to live, according to the Community Legal Aid Institute.
Many of these are filing eleventh hour clemency pleas with President Joko Widodo, even though some still maintain their innocence. However preparations for the executions are intensifying at Cilacap in Central Java, the gateway to the penal island of Nusakambangan, where the prisoners will be shot dead by special police known as BRIMOB around midnight on Friday.
Community Legal Aid Institute director Ricky Gunawan and lawyer of Nigerian death row inmate, Humphrey Ejike Jefferson Eleweke, who was with the prisoners when they were served with the papers marking the beginning of the 72 hour countdown on Tuesday said the Africans believed they had been unfairly targeted. 
"They said the Indonesian government just hate us, they want to kill us because we are black," Mr Gunawan. xxxHis Nigerian client, Eleweke, who is seeking clemency from the president but maintains his innocence, refused to sign the notification.
While Mr Eleweke hoped for a miracle, Mr Gunawan said, he was aware it was unlikely given Indonesians blame Africans for bringing much of the illegal drugs into the country.

Mr Eleweke's trial judgement included the statement that "black-skinned people from Nigeria" are under surveillance by police because they are suspected of drug trafficking in Indonesia.

His case was one of those highlighted in the Amnesty International report When Justice Fails which raised concerns about his lack of access to a lawyer at the time of his arrest, torture and the impartiality of the court process.

Mr Gunawan said that legally those prisoners who had filed for presidential clemency should be taken off the execution list because they had not exhausted all their legal avenue.

Man trapped in deadly floods is forced to make a hard decision, save his wife or his mum. His choice cost him big

A man trapped in devastating floods was forced to make a split second decision - whether to save his wife, 2 kids and sick father or his mum who lived across town as torrential rains swept through China.
Gao Fengshou, 39, knew that a serious storm was on its way to Daxian Village, in Xingtai City of North China's Hebei Province. Even though his family members stayed up worrying about the storm, he made no plans to do anything and instead went to sleep.
Well when the floods started coming in, his wife, 30 year old Zhang Xiaoyan, woke him up to tell him that the house was been flooded, rather than save his wife, 2 children and sick father, the man made the choice to dash across town to save his mother whose old family home was already waist-deep in water and abandoned his wife, kids and his father to their fate.

After he rescued his mother, he found that he could not return to his home as the floodwaters were already up to his chest.
After waiting several hours for the water to recede, he rushed back to his house and was relieved to find Zhang, the kids, aged four and two, and his dad huddled on the roof of the house.

His wife understandably dumped him and he's now begging her to forgive him.

The Daxian village was almost completely wiped out by the flood. At least 112 people died in that flood and 91 others have gone missing .

Photos: Japan knife attacker laughs before news cameras, says he wants all disabled people to 'disappear'

26-year-old Japanese man who murdered 19 people at a centre for the mentally disabled grinned at news cameras on Wednesday before being questioned.
 

Police searched the home of Satoshi Uematsu, , who reportedly said he wanted all disabled people to "disappear", after the knife rampage that left his victims in pools of blood, including some who were stabbed in the neck.


With a blue jacket draped over his head, Satoshi Uematsu was escorted out of a police station into a waiting van before a crowd of flashing cameras. Inside the vehicle with the jacket removed, he smiled broadly in footage broadcast on morning news shows.

Uematsu broke into Tsukui Yamayuri-en centre in the city of Sagamihara outside Tokyo in the early hours of Tuesday. He reportedly tied up two caregivers before stabbing residents using a total of five knives - leaving a total of 26 people injured, 13 of them severely. He quickly turned himself in at a police station, carrying bloodied knives and admitted to the crime. Uematsu reportedly also said:

"The disabled should all disappear."

Questions were being asked about why he had been allowed to leave the hospital where he was admitted in February for mental evaluation following his explicit threats. In a sign that the care centre feared its former employee, public broadcaster NHK - citing Kanagawa prefectural officials - said the facility in April set up 16 security cameras to watch out for him after he was discharged from the hospital.

An official at the Tsukui police station where Uematsu was held after the attack declined to comment on the investigation, only confirming that he was being transported to prosecutors for questioning. Local media said Uematsu has told police that he wants to apologise to bereaved families about the sudden loss of their loved ones, though he still justified what he did.

"I saved those with multiple disabilities," he told police, according to private broadcaster TV Asahi which cited investigative sources.

Security camera footage taken near the centre showed a vehicle arriving there shortly before the attack began. The driver opened the boot to remove objects before walking toward the facility. At around 2:50 am, shortly after an emergency call was made to police from the centre, the footage shows the driver dashing back to the vehicle, carrying a large bag.

Uematsu left his job at the care home and was forcibly hospitalised in February after telling colleagues he intended to kill disabled people at the centre. But he was discharged 12 days later when a doctor deemed he was not a threat.

He had previously delivered a letter to the speaker of the lower house of parliament in which he threatened to kill hundreds of disabled people, outlining a broad plan for night-time attacks against Tsukui Yamayuri-en and another facility. In the rambling letter he presented a vision of a society in which the seriously handicapped could be euthanised with the approval of family members since "handicapped people only create unhappiness".
