Just three days following the gruesome discovery of twenty dead sheep near a derailed train in a tunnel near Fulda, German police in Thuringia have now reported finding a number of dead cows near a rail crossing in their area, too. “We don’t want to jump to any conclusions or anything,” said one country bumpkin cop near Erfurt. “But after talking with our colleagues in Fulda, it is pretty clear to us that the killer’s method of operation during both killing sprees is practically identical.” A massive nation-wide search has now begun for the mysterious killer, his description having been given to police by several dazed passengers who had been travelling on the derailed Fulda train and who just happened to be looking out the window when the killings took place or s

Behold the classic murder ballad. It’s a song form about the most gruesome of events, told in a light, sometimes even pretty way, so that it might take a several listens to recognize the bloody gore oozing underneath an otherwise benign melody. The murder ballad has been around for centuries and continues forward as a part of popular culture. Most of the songs on this list deal with murder as a serious and lamentable act. The songs are full of sadness and regret. Those that aren’t involve crimes of self defense and self preservation (predominantly for women.) Comparing them to Gangster raps is a bit of a stretch. “Earl” is not dead because he called Biggie a punk ass bitch. “Earl” is dead because his abuse drove his wife to a desperate act. Yes, Cash “Shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.” But he is destitute, in jail and weeping at his loss of freedom when he recalls it. These songs don’t glorify murder. And many of the

A law was introduced in northern Iraq in 2002 to allow "honour killers" to be convicted of murder. It had no effect. Now, five years later, more women than ever are regularly being killed by their troglodyte animal relatives: According to the human rights ministry in northern Iraq, 598 women have been burnt, beaten, shot, strangled, thrown from tall buildings, force-fed with lethal drugs, crushed by vehicles, drowned, decapitated or made to kill themselves so far this year, exceeding the 553 recorded for the whole of 2006. The article that the above is quoted from also recounts, in graphic detail, the viciously savage killing of a 17-year-old Yazidi girl earlier in the year (which was widely reported at the time). Another article on the Yazidi can be found here.

A Belgian teenager has been sentenced to life imprisonment for killing a Malian nanny and her two-year-old charge in a racist shooting spree. An Antwerp court found Hans van Themsche guilty of killing Oulematou Niangadou and then shooting toddler Luna Drowart when she started crying. Van Themsche, 19, also shot and wounded a woman of Turkish descent during his rampage in central Antwerp in May 2006. He was stopped when a policeman shot him in the stomach. He later told police he had hoped to kill at least five foreigners before dying in a hail of police bullets. The jury rejected a defence argument that Van Themsche was mentally ill. Right-wing links "You acted with blind violence, without any respect for the lives and integrity of others," judge Michel Jordens said. "You reduced the value of life to nothing in order to affirm yourself," he said. Police say Van Themsche's father helped found the now defunct anti-immigration party Vlaams Blok, and his

Several other interesting articles could be found on his website:The Burmese army has burnt an undetermined number of bodies at a crematorium sealed off by armed guards northeast of Rangoon over the past seven days, ensuring that the exact death toll in the recent pro-democracy protests will never be known. The secret cremations have been reported by local people who have seen olive green trucks covered with tarpaulins rumbling through the area at night and watched smoke rising continuously from the furnace chimneys. They say they have watched soldiers in steel helmets blocking off roads to the municipal crematorium and threatening people who poke their heads out of windows overlooking the roads after the 10pm curfew.

Today, I received several e-mails from the yahoo groups of the NUSP, the largest student council alliance in the country. I am not a member of the group anymore and have ended my former vocation as a student activist to pursue a more normal life.

A teenager, who is possibly 14 or 15, has been arrested by police for the killings of three college students at a schoolyard in Newark, New Jersey.  The three that were killed were done so execution style, and that a fourth was badly injured but did survive. Natasha Aeriel was the fourth victim and is currently at The University Hospital in Newark recovering from her knife and gunshot wounds.  The four victims were all friends and were shot while they were at an elementary schoolyard listening to music. The three that were killed were told to kneel up against a wall and were then shot in the head, execution style.  Police are still trying to find out if the motive was robbery or if it was gang related. Newark has had a lot of violence this year, and so far there have been about 60 homicides.  These killings really shocked Newark because all of these kids were good kids, and that they were all either enrolled, or in the process of enrolling, at Delaware State University.  Right now

The unexpected electoral victory of Antonio Trillanes IV should be an interesting case study for political strategists, campaign managers, PR handlers, and politicians alike. His garnering of 11 million votes from the Filipino electorate showed how a relatively new candidate can win despite facing detention, more popular and experienced contenders and other overwhelming odds. Will Trillanes deliver his promises now that he’s been proclaimed as a legislator in the Congress’ upper chamber? I hope he does. In particular, the new Senator should make good on his recent statement about investigating the military on the issue of political killings. (more…)

New Delhi, May 8 (IANS) The killings of a Muslim man and his wife in cold blood by the police in Gujarat again disrupted both houses of Indian parliament Tuesday after the opposition insisted on a discussion. With presiding officers of both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha turning down the request, and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) also joining the din, no business was conducted for several hours. The Lok Sabha was adjourned twice, first until noon and then till 2 p.m., when it broke up for lunch. The Rajya Sabha had to suspend business until 1 p.m. Tuesday’s scenes were similar to what happened Monday. After the Lok Sabha met Tuesday, Ramjilal Suman of the Samajwadi Party sought the speaker’s permission to speak on the Gujarat killings. Mohammed Salim of the Communist Party of India-Marxist and Madhusudan Mistry of the Congress backed the demand. When Speaker Somnath Chatterjee disallowed the MPs and insisted on taking up question hour, the Samajwadi Party MPS ran towards

As I have said elsewhere people wasted no time in attempting to sue the Virginia Tech massacre as a soapbox for their particular causes be it gun control or stricter security on our nations campuses. And while I think it inevitable that this tragedy be used as a springboard for change people should damned well let the suffering have a chance to grieve. I have already seen all too many, on both sides of the aisle, trying to grab the public spotlight for their own particular cause. Charles Krauthammer points this out in the following piece as well as commenting on those attempting to use it for their own purposes. Be it an op ed writer or an angry leftist we need to just back off and let things cool down a bit. It is a good part of the human psyche that we attempt to learn from such tragedies but let’s please show some consideration for those close to the victims. ~RJH Washington Post article link A Moment of SilenceBy Charles KrauthammerFriday, April 20, 2007; Page A31 What can be sa

A MAN killed his 17-year-old daughter for having an affair with a boy in Banwaripur village in Meerut. Kulbhusan, according to the police, was upset over the relationship and had told his daughter Rajni to stop meeting the boy. When the girl refused, he strangled her. His brother Mahendra and son Dushyant helped him dump the body. The three allegedly burnt the body to hide their crime. The Meerut police have collected Rajni’s bones from the spot and have sent them for forensic tests. According to the police, Rajni was having an affair with one Ravindra. Both of them were class 12 students at Rasna inter college. Ravindra told the police that they wanted to marry but their families were against the relationship. Kulbhusan, Ravindra alleged, tried to implicate him in the murder but later broke down before the police and confessed to the crime. “Kulbhusan’s brother and his son are absconding,” said the police. We have sent special police teams to nab the two,
