Crime: Teen stabs mom 94 times, severs spine

UK: A 17-year-old who lost his temper ended up stabbing his mother 94 times and severing her spinal chord.

The horrific incident took place in their 2-bedroom apartment in Dorset in the month of July this year. The teenager had an interest in knives and a temper to match. It is not clear why the teen killed his 42-year-old mother, reports Daily Mail.

A few days before the incident, the son had told his girl-friend that his mother had only  a few days to live because of his kid brother's drug debt. The court has surmised that the boy might have wanted to fulfill his words and hence killed his mother.

The boy later denied that he had any role to play in his mom's murder. He claims that he escaped from the first floor bedroom through the drain pipe after taking some money from her purse as a few debt collectors had come to kill his mother in the apartment and he escaped to save his own life.

According to the forsenic report, the mother was rendered helpless in the initial stages of attack as there are no struggle marks on the woman's body. She was probably made unconscious so she could not fight back or may be the son severed her spine first, before stabbing her repeatedly.
 
After a eight-day trial, the young man has been found guilty of killing his mother brutally even though he claimed that he was close to his mother.

Psycho guns down 8-year-old daughter, mother and two brothers

CALIFORNIA: Tribal members death on the Tule River Indian Reservation tolled repeatedly Sunday after a man killed his mother and her two brothers in a shooting that also fatally wounded his daughter. Authorities said the suspect died in a shootout with police.

Authorities cornered Hector Celaya, 31, on a country road in the middle of citrus orchards 30 miles (48 kilometers) away from the reservation and about six hours after the shootings Saturday night, that also left two of his other children wounded.

In the car with him were two daughters, 8-year-old Alyssa and 5-year-old Linea. One had life-threatening injuries; the other did not.

By Sunday night, authorities confirmed that Alyssa died of her injuries. Police said Celaya had a tattoo of her name on his right leg.

Authorities have not disclosed what motivated Celaya to kill his relatives, who lived in a travel trailer on a family compound on the reservation of about 800 people. But tribal members said the former custodian at the reservation's casino had a troubled past.

"He had a real hard life," said Rhoda Hunter, the tribal council secretary. "But all of us do, we all have a hard time. But we try not to let it get the best of us."

Hunter said that Celaya's mother was a friend of hers. The Tulare County sheriff's department, which is investigating the case, identified her as 60-year-old Irene Celaya.

The killings stunned the tightknit tribal community.

"We've had a lot of deaths here, but nothing like this. Not murder. No, not murder," Hunter said.

The remote reservation relies on the Eagle Mountain Casino for revenues. Each tribal member receives $500 a month, but Hunter said most of the profit is invested into educational programs for the children.

The compound where the shooting took place is on a dirt road in a scenic canyon lined with oaks and sycamore trees. Herds of horses graze the hillsides, and modular houses sit on hilltops.

The emergency services call came to the Tule River Indian Reservation fire department at about 7:45 p.m. Saturday, said Shelby Charley Jr., an engineer and supervisor. He said his crew, which most often attends to people who fall ill at the casino, was shocked by the carnage.

"This is a once in a lifetime kind of deal," Charley said. "It's one of those calls you could go your whole career and not walk into. This is one of those calls that will stick with you for the rest of your life."

Charley said his crew immediately discovered a woman and man dead of gunshot wounds, then quickly discovered a young boy with critical wounds. Thick fog grounded helicopters in Fresno and Bakersfield, so rescue workers had to drive the gravely injured boy 40 minutes to the nearest hospital in Visalia.

Minutes later, sheriff's deputies found a third body in an outbuilding that had been set up as a makeshift bedroom. Authorities said the bodies of Irene Celaya and her 61-year-old brother Francisco Moreno were found in the trailer. The body of their 53-year-old brother, Bernard Franco, was in the shed.

The wounded boy was identified as Celaya's 6-year-old son, Andrew.

Deputies found Celaya by tracking his cellphone. A chase ensued, though Celaya never exceeded the speed limit and sometimes slowed to 15 mph (24 kph), police said.

He eventually pulled over in a rural area deep in the heart of citrus country outside the tiny community of Lindsay, about 30 miles (48 kilometers) from the reservation. Celaya opened fire, prompting deputies to return fire, sheriff's spokeswoman Chris Douglass said.

She did not say how many shots were fired, but said Celaya fired his gun "multiple times." Celaya was shot during the exchange of gunfire, Douglass said. He died hours later at a hospital.

It was unclear when Celaya shot his daughters, Douglass said.

Police said Celaya was "known to law enforcement" and "known to use drugs," though Douglass could not provide details.

On the steps of Mater Dolorosa Catholic Church, Hunter said she has never known such tragedy. The church bell echoed through the reservation Sunday as news of each death made its way to tribal authorities.

"This is so horrible. We will be doing a lot of praying," Hunter said. (AP)
