Man Jailed For Urinating On Woman During Flight

A 28-year-old man has been sentenced to three weeks in jail for urinating on a 66-year-old woman during a Continental Airlines flight last month from Los Angeles to Honolulu. Jerome Kenneth Kingzio, a resident of the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, was sentenced after pleading guilty Tuesday to assault charges in federal court in Honolulu.

The victim was headed to Hawaii on March 21 for a scuba diving vacation and was watching an in-flight movie when Kingzio stood up and began urinating on her. He had been drinking on the flight.

U.S. Attorney Edward Kubo Jr. said the woman reported that not only was her entire vacation ruined, but she continues to suffer emotionally from the incident.

The case was investigated by the FBI.

Russian Brothers Admit Killing, Cannibalizing Older Sibling

Two men have reportedly admitted killing their elder brother and eating parts of his body which they kept in the fridge for months.

The pair, named only as Timur and Marat G, said they murdered their brother Rafis at their home in the central Russian city of Perm, according to newspaper Tvoi Den.

Police grew suspicious when the brothers reported Rafis missing but were vague about his details.

After raiding their house, officers are said to have found the victim’s skeleton, which had been stripped bare and buried in the garden.

Timur reportedly said he had fought and killed Rafis because he bore him a grudge over a 10-year prison sentence.

Rafis allegedly reported his 28-year-old brother’s part in the murder of a neighbor to police.

Timur said youngest brother Marat, 23, had sided with him in the fight.

They then came up with the idea of eating the evidence so Timur would not have to go back to jail.

“Yes, we decided to eat him,” Timur was quoted as saying. “I did not want to go back behind bars, so we cut off his head and buried it and cut the body into parts and kept (them) in a refrigerator.”

Cops: Woman Taped Puppy To Refrigerator - April 14, 2009

APRIL 14–Meet Abby Toll. The University of Colorado student, 20, is facing a felony animal abuse rap after she allegedly taped her boyfriend’s puppy to the side of a refrigerator in a bid to teach the rambunctious animal a “lesson.” According to police, Toll used clear packing tape early this morning to adhere the eight-month-old dog (a Shiba Inu named Rex) to the appliance in the kitchen of her boyfriend’s apartment. Toll allegedly was angry at Bryan Beck, 21, for failing to get rid of the puppy, which, Toll told cops, bit her a few days ago. According to the below Boulder Police Department reports, when cops responded at 5 AM to a “report of a male and female yelling” at Beck’s apartment, they discovered that “Rex’s body was completely encased in packing tape.” When Officer Kara Jurczenia asked what was on the side of the fridge, Toll replied, “The dog.” Toll added, “I know this looks really bad, but the dog bites. He is aggressive.” Jurczenia asked how long the puppy had been taped upside down to the side of the refrigerator. “Not long,” Toll replied. “Like 20-30 minutes. It was just until he calmed down.” The reports note that when Beck saw his dog stuck to the refrigerator, he told Toll, “Take him down,” adding, “You are so sick!” Toll replied, “No, you are sick for not caring enough about me to get rid of the dog.” The animal, whose paws had been bound with elastic hair ties, was clearly in pain and “yelped and screamed loudly” as cops worked to free him. “Rex just lay motionless, but breathing, on his kennel after he was removed from the tape.” The puppy was handed over to the Boulder Valley Humane Society. Toll, seen in the above mug shot, was turned over to county jailers. Beck, who was arrested in connection with his scuffle with Toll, was not charged with animal abuse. Though he did reportedly tell police, “We were going to get rid of him anyway. We usually don’t do this.”
