Crazy World: Teen kills parents, then parties...

FLORIDA: In a horrific incident, a 17-year-old boy is accused of bludgeoning his parents with a hammer, then hosting dozens of friends for a party while their bodies lay in the bedroom, police said.

Tyler Hadley of Port St. Lucie is charged with twin counts of first-degree murder in the deaths, which authorities say happened Saturday. He is being held without bond at a juvenile detention center in Fort Pierce and it was not immediately known whether he has an attorney.

The parents — Blake and Mary-Jo Hadley — were believed to have been struck with the hammer in their heads and torsos sometime after their son posted on Facebook around 1:15 p.m. Saturday alerting friends to an evening party at his house, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) north of West Palm Beach.

Investigators believe the parents were attacked outside their master bedroom and the bodies were moved into the bedroom and the door locked.

As many as 60 people attended the party that night, according to Port St. Lucie Police spokesman Tom Nichols. They were loud enough to prompt a noise complaint and a visit by police officers. When they arrived at 1:30 a.m. Sunday to warn about the noise, the party was already breaking up, Nichols said.

Then, police said, they received a tip that murder may have taken place. They returned to the home at 4:20 a.m., finding the bodies covered with towels, files, books and other household items, and the hammer between them.

The mother, 47, was an elementary school teacher. The father, 54, worked for Florida Power and Light.

Autopsies were underway, but police said they believed they died of blunt-force trauma.

Hadley had attended St. Lucie West Centennial High School, according to police, but had not graduated. They said they did not know what the motive was.

Duchess Catherine's pricey former car on eBay

BRITAIN: A blue Volkswagen Golf hatchback previously owned and driven by Kate Middleton is on the market for more than 20 times the model's typical value.

The car was bought by the Middleton family for $16,439 in 2001, is listed for sale on eBay with a reserve of $30,393 by its current owner, Sonny Brazil.

The car, which Kate used during her years studying at St Andrews University and which she was often pictured driving with her now husband Prince William in the passenger seat, is expected to fetch more than $45,589, says news agency AAP.

"I went to an auction house in Dorset a few weeks ago and they said it would be worth $45,589 plus, purely because of the name in the log book," he told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper of the Volkswagen.

Brazil says he rarely used the car, only doing about 4,022km ever since he bought it from kate's brother James Middleton.

"I became quite precious about it and wouldn't let anyone else drive it, even parking it in a locked garage away from the house in case anyone tried to nick it," he was quoted by the UK daily.

Girls urged to strip for Putin's presidency

RUSSIA: In a bid to support Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in a presidential vote, an online campaign has been launched urging young women to support him by taking off their clothes.

Called ‘Putin''s Army’, it features a video of a blonde student called Diana who struts along Moscow's streets in high heels and a black suit before scrawling "I will tear my clothes off for Putin" on a white top in red lipstick and starting to undo her clothes, reports the Telegraph.

The campaign invites girls to strip off for Putin for the opportunity to win an Apple tablet - iPad2. The support campaign has come ahead of the March 2012 presidential vote.

Widely seen as Russia's key decision-maker, Putin may return to the Kremlin next year. Putin was the president from 2000-2008 before handing the reins over to his protégé Dmitry Medvedev.
