Bizarre: Mom lures girl's boyfriend to death

Published

BRITAIN: A 13-year-old girl's boyfriend was clubbed to death after he posted his girlfriend's topless images online.

The mother of the girl used the leg of a table to bash the boyfriend's head. The man went into coma due to the injury he had received on his head. He died of his wounds nine days after the incident, reports Daily Mail.

The family tried to save the mother by giving false evidence. The girl told the police that she hit her boyfriend on his head after he attacked her with a knife. She got away scot free as she pleaded self defence.

It was only after some new evidence emerged that the actual murderer was caught and charged.


Parents kill daughter over 'Westernised' lifestyle

BRITAIN: A 17-year old girl was killed by her parents as they disagreed over her 'westernised' lifestyle. The parents hail from Pakistan and they felt they were honour bound to kill their daughter as she did not abide by the norms they dictated to her. The teenager wanted to have boyfriends and wear Western clothes, reports The Sun.

The parents killed the girl after a blazing row and dumped her body by a river near Sedgwick, Cumbria in 2003. Police officials were unable to solve the mystery.

It was only recently that the girl's sister was arrested for robbing her home that she told police she had seen her parents killing her sister at home in Warrington, Cheshire, when she was 15 years old. She also said her parents ended her sister's life as they believed she was shaming the family.

Six months before the elder sister was killed, she was taken to Pakistan by her parents who wanted to force her into an arranged marriage. However, their plans were foiled when the girl drank liquid bleach and they had to bring her back to Britain for medical treatment.

ITALY: An Italian man who lost his job, did the unthinkable and threw his 14-month old daughter and four-year old son from the balconey. The 41-year-old man jumped to his death as well, reports Daily Mail.

The man feared that he would lose his wife and kids and hence took the drastic step.


Business cards made of concrete

MUMBAI: A creative agency that was tired of business cards getting torn or lost or simply fading away, took a solid approach and designed cards made out of cement.

A spokesperson for Murmure, the agency, told a leading Indian daily that the refinement and technique required for the typography highlight the harshness and the roughness of the used material.

Simply designed and plain old cards with fine ink on expensive paper, or fun expressive cards designed from Facebook photos are passe, reports news agency ANI.
