Sister stabs twin to death hours after hanging out with their friends (photos)

A dying New Jersey woman identified her identical twin sister as her killer after being knifed in the chest during a fight outside their home, a judge revealed in court on Thursday.

A witness heard Anna Ramirez, 27, say, “Amanda, you stabbed me!” as she lay bleeding on the ground, Camden County Superior Court Judge Edward McBride said, citing the witness’ statement to cops.

The unidentified witness also heard Amanda Ramirez threaten Anna shortly before the stunning intra-family slaying at the Centennial Village Apartments in Camden around 5:40 a.m. Saturday, McBride said.

“Watch what I’ll do!” Amanda allegedly said before going into the building to retrieve a large kitchen knife.

The witness, who lives on an upper floor in the same building as the sisters’ family, heard the threat while watching from a window and went downstairs, arriving outside just after Anna was stabbed, McBride said.

The powerful evidence was revealed during a bail hearing for Amanda, who’s charged with aggravated manslaughter in her twin’s slaying.

Prosecutor Peter Gallagher also handed up a photo of the knife Amanda allegedly plunged into the left side of Anna’s chest.

Authorities haven’t alleged a motive for the deadly attack, which came less than two hours after Anna posted a photo on Facebook that shows both sisters smiling with two friends.

Amanda burst into tears when she entered the courtroom and saw nearly 20 friends and family members, including her mom, sitting in the gallery.

Amanda, who didn’t speak in court, spent most of the session sobbing at the defense table with her face buried in her left shoulder.

Amanda allegedly gave cops conflicting accounts of the incident, including that Anna had lunged at her with the knife.

Defense lawyer Igor Levenberg didn’t challenge probable cause for Amanda’s arrest, but asked that she be released without bail to house arrest with permission to leave for work as a home health aide.

But McBride sided with the prosecution – which said Amanda once skipped a court appearance in a previous, sealed prosecution – and ordered her held without bail.

Amanda’s supporters and her lawyer all declined to comment outside court.

Wife who asked husband to do more house shores but got locked up for it, finds new lover (photos)

 A wife locked up for asking her husband to help around the house has bagged herself a toy boy lover.

Valerie Sanders, from Catterick, North Yorkshire, claims all she did was ask Michael, 58, to ditch some of his gym sessions, to vacuum and to clean the patio doors.

She ended up spending 17 hours in a cell facing charges of controlling behaviour after two police vans and four officers turned up at her house.

After "14 months of hell" in which she didn't know if she would end up in the dock, the trial was thrown out.

Following the traumatic experience the 58-year-old has ditched Michael and fallen for Tony Mableson, a cleaner, who at 33 is 25 years her junior.

Together the happy couple run a mobile cleaning company.

While loved up again, Valerie still took the time to slam her ex's gym habit, which she claimed got between them.

What started as a once or twice a week habit when he started work as a gym manager became an "obsession".

Michael would eat five or six meals a day and mush all his food up in a blender, spelling the end of romantic nights out for the couple.

Valerie told The Sun : "He started to do bodybuilding competitions. It wasn't attractive. It was like cuddling an ironing board."

She also claims Michael was signed up to an escort site called Gentlemen4Hire under the user name BigMikey1400.

Their relationship broke down when he started taking Viagra, causing him to snore at night.

One dies, four nabbed during fight in Ajah

One person was killed and many were injured as hoodlums engaged one another in a fight that lasted more than an hour on Wednesday in the Badore area of Ajah in the Eti-Osa Local Government Area of Lagos.

Punch Metro gathered that the victim was killed when he lost grip of a moving car and fell to the ground, while one of the rear tyres of the vehicle crushed him.

An eyewitness, Tunde Ajala, said the fight started around 1.38am following a heated argument between two friends, who had sang at a night club.

He added that security men, who became indignant with the attitude of the two friends, pushed them out of the club.


Ajala stated that one of the evicted friends, identified simply as Nejo, rushed to his car, fetched a machete and struck at his friend’s head.

According to him, as Nejo was trying to drive out of the area, his injured friend grabbed the steering wheel and struggled with the driver.

After some minutes, Nejo’s friend was said to have become weak and fell off the vehicle. One of the rear tyres crushed him and he died on the spot.

The eyewitness stated that his death incensed the hoodlums around, who chased after Nejo and engaged his men in a fight, which resulted in many getting injured.

Ajala said, “There is a guy popularly known as Nejo; he and his friend were in a club singing with a guy called AZ. I can’t really tell what happened between both of them while they were singing, but they later had a heated argument. The security men at the club pushed them out after attempts to mediate in the dispute failed.

“When Nejo came out of the club, he brought out a machete and cut the other one in his head. As he was about to drive off, the victim grabbed the steering wheel to prevent him from escaping; Nejo then applied force and drove him violently on the road.”

Punch Metro learnt that the Divisional Police Officer of the Lamgbasa Police Station, Adaobi Okafor, mobilised her men to the area to quell the trouble.

It was gathered that four hoodlums, who tried to prevent the police from carrying out their duties, were arrested.

Women's heads are shaved in India for resisting rape

Two people have been arrested in India's Bihar state after a group of men shaved the heads of two women as "punishment" for resisting rape.

The group, which included a local official, ambushed the mother and daughter in their home with the intent of raping them, police said.

When the women resisted, they assaulted them, shaved their heads and paraded them through the village.

Police say they are searching for five others involved in the incident.


"We were beaten with sticks very badly. I have injuries all over my body and my daughter also has some injuries," the mother told the ANI news agency.

The women also said that their heads were shaved in front of the entire village.

"Some men entered the victims' home and tried to molest the daughter," a police officer told local media, adding that her mother helped her fight off the men.

The state's women commission has also condemned the incident, saying that "further action" will be taken.

This is not the first time such an incident has occurred in the state.

Fake French doctor who killed his family to cover up for his lies is freed

A Frenchman who killed his parents, wife and children in a case that inspired a book and two films has been freed after 26 years in jail.

Before the murders, Jean-Claude Romand, now 65, spent 18 years pretending to be a medical student and then a researcher at the World Health Organization (WHO).

He was in fact making money by taking cash from family friends and claiming to invest them in Switzerland.

He went on a killing spree in 1993 as his fraud was about to be exposed.


Romand - who was widely regarded as a model student - failed to turn up for his first-year exam at the Lyon medical school in 1974.

He was allowed to repeat the first year for the next 12 years and never took the exam.

However he told his friends that he was following normal medical studies, and eventually that he had become a doctor.

He went on to pretend that he had got a job at the Geneva-based WHO. In fact he was spending his days driving near the border area between France and Switzerland, and occasionally visited the WHO's public information service.

In 1980 he married his girlfriend, and went on to have two children with her in the late-1980s. He would sometimes tell his family that he was on foreign trips, then stay in motorway rest areas for several days, and return home with gifts.

First Romand lived off money from the sale of the student flat his parents had bought for him in Lyon. When this ran out, he took advantage of relatives and friends who asked him to invest their savings in schemes he claimed to have access to as a UN employee.

By late 1992 some of his victims were asking for their money. One family friend became suspicious after finding that Romand's name was not on the WHO's staff list.

In January 1993, he killed his wife with a rolling pin at their home before killing his seven-year-old daughter and five-year-old son with a rifle.

On the same day, he travelled more than 80km (50 miles) to his parents' house and killed both of them, as well as their dog. He returned home, where his wife and children lay dead, set fire to the house and swallowed sleeping pills.

However Romand was rescued by firefighters, taken into custody, and made a confession. He was convicted of murder in 1996.

He became eligible for parole in 2015 and his release was granted in April this year. NONSENSE.

Ethiopia arrests 250 in massive crackdown

Nearly 250 people have been arrested in Ethiopia’s capital and the main city in its Amhara region since a coup attempt was foiled, state TV reported on Thursday.

Ethiopia has been on edge since twin attacks at the weekend in Addis Ababa and the city of Bahir Dar killed the army chief of staff, the region’s president and three other senior officials.

The violence, which the government says was part of a plot by a rogue general and his militia to take over Amhara, exposed how ethnic tensions are threatening the reform agenda of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.

The state-run Ethiopian Broadcasting Corporation did not give any more details on who was arrested or when. But a party based in the northern region – the National Movement of Amhara (NAMA)- earlier said 56 of its members had been detained in Addis Ababa on Wednesday.

Two women say E Jean Carroll told them about Trump alleged sexual assault

Two women have publicly said columnist E. Jean Carroll confided in them after Donald Trump allegedly raped her in the 1990s.

Carol Martin and Lisa Birnbach at the time disagreed on whether Ms Carroll should call the police, the New York Times newspaper reports.

President Trump denies the allegation, saying Ms Carroll is "totally lying" and "she's not my type".

Ms Carroll, 75, is the 16th woman to accuse Mr Trump of sexual misconduct.


Mr Trump, 73, has rejected all allegations against him. 

Ms Martin, a TV news anchor in 1975-95, and Ms Birnbach, a writer, spoke publicly for the first time about the alleged sexual assault on the New York Times podcast The Daily.

Ms Carroll, the Elle columnist, said in the same podcast she had called Ms Birnbach straight after the alleged assault, telling her that Mr Trump had forced himself on her.

Ms Birnbach responded by saying she thought it was rape, urging Ms Carroll to call the police.

"Let's go to the police. I'll take you to the police" Ms Birnbach said, but added that her friend refused.

Ms Carroll described what had happened between her and Mr Trump as a "fight", not "a crime".

She also told the podcast she felt that she had encouraged Mr Trump's behaviour. Asked whether she felt responsibility for what happened, she said: "One hundred percent."

Ms Carroll said two or three days later she also told Ms Martin about the alleged assault.

Ms Martin advised against calling the police, saying Mr Trump was a powerful men with numerous lawyers.

"I said: Don't tell anybody. I wouldn't tell anybody this," Ms Martin is quoted as saying in the podcast.

E. Jean Carroll said it happened at a Bergdorf Goodman store in New York's Manhattan in late 1995 or early 1996, when the pair bumped into each other while shopping.

Genoa bridge: Towers demolished after residents are evacuated (photos)

Thousands of people were evacuated ahead of explosions which brought down two large towers consisting of about 4,500 tonnes of concrete and steel.

Water tanks were placed around the towers to prevent the spread of dust.

Forty-three people were killed when part of the bridge, and cars travelling along it, fell 45m (148ft) last August.

It prompted a fierce debate about the safety of Italy's infrastructure.


The Morandi bridge was a critical structure in Genoa, serving the busy A10 motorway network that serves the Italian Riviera and links northern Italy to France.

Hundreds of residents, including pregnant women and the elderly, were told to leave on Thursday ahead of the demolition.

More than 3,400 others were being evacuated on Friday morning from the areas surrounding the two towers in preparation for the operation.

Roads within a 300m (984ft) radius of the demolition site were set to close.

Explosives were attached to the legs of the towers and the parts of the bridge still standing.

Minutes before the explosions, sirens rang out and water began to spray the structure from tanks all around the base.

Then within eight seconds the towers were gone.

iPhone designer Jony Ive to leave Apple

Sir Jonathan, designer of the iMac, iPod and iPhone, leaves later this year to start a creative firm, LoveFrom, with Apple as its first client.

"This just seems like a natural and gentle time to make this change," he said.

Apple boss Tim Cook said his "role in Apple's revival cannot be overstated".

But the departure comes at a time of wider change at the tech giant. Retail chief Angela Ahrendts left in April and investors have been worried about falling iPhone sales.



Sir Jonathan said in a statement: "After nearly 30 years and countless projects, I am most proud of the lasting work we have done to create a design team, process and culture at Apple that is without peer."

Little is known about LoveFrom, but it will be based in California and there are reports one area of focus will be wearable technology. News of his departure broke in an exclusive interview in the Financial Times.
