Woman ‘stabbed husband because his poo smelled so bad’
A woman has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after knifing her husband over his smelly poos. Emi Mamia, 29, slashed her husband’s face with a knife after he
went to the toilet, according to Japanese press and police. Mamiya was reportedly incensed by the smell left behind after her 34-year-old partner emerged from the stall. Her anger was further fuelled when he tried to help their 3-year-old son use the toilet ‘without washing his own hands first’, she said, Jiji Press and other local media reported. ‘The toilet stinks so much that the child cannot even use it,’ Jiji reported her as saying.
Man faked his own death to defraud woman of $875
LONDON, Ont. — Roy Nevill's not dead — he's guilty. Midway through his first fraud trial this week, Nevill, 55, who has reportedly faked his own demise at least four times, pleaded guilty to swindling a London woman of $875. The woman, who brought her story to QMI Agency in February, gave detailed testimony about her relationship with the man she met on Plenty of Fish and knew as Roy Anderson who needed cash after losing his wallet. He'd drive her to the bank and made promises to pay her back triple the amount. In November, the day he was supposed to pay back the $875 owed, she received a text message that he had died in the shower. There was no death notice in the newspaper and no word from the family — especially after the woman fibbed and told them she had the licence plate number and was going to the "fraud squad." "I didn't want to think anybody would scam anybody for $875," she testified. Not long later, Nevill was arrested in St. Thomas, Ont., after a driver walked away from a head-on crash in Aylmer, Ont., in January. After the woman finished her testimony, the defence didn't cross-examine her. Instead, Nevill pleaded guilty. He's to be sentenced May 12.
Robber Carried Bag with Dollar Sign
APRIL 10--When David Eli Lingafelter was arrested Wednesday for the robbery of a Subway restaurant in Olympia, Washington, he was carrying a white canvas bag with a large, handwritten dollar sign on it, police report. The bag--not unlike those seen in the hands of crooks in comics and cartoons--was tied to the front of Lingafelter’s pants when police nabbed the 20-year-old shortly after the sandwich shop heist. Police allege that Lingafelter entered the Subway wearing a white hat and a red bandana over his face, adding that he “reached into his pocket as if he had a weapon.” After directing a female employee to open the cash register and place her hands on her head, Lingafelter swiped $100 and the worker’s cell phone. While committing the robbery, Lingafelter warned the Subway employee not to “do anything funny,” police reported.
Why Japanese mangoes sold for $3,140
A deep pocketed Japanese department store shelled out an eye-watering 300,000 yen ($3,140) Monday for a pair of mangoes, a record price for the second year in a row. After the hammer fell at an auction in far-southern Miyazaki, the successful bidder airlifted the fruit to its luxury shop in Fukuoka, where they went on sale at a bargain 210,000 yen, according to the Miyazaki Agricultural Economic Federation.
The mangoes -- top-of-the-range "Taiyo no Tamago" (Egg of the Sun)-brand -- were the first to go for auction this year, an occasion that usually attracts inflated prices. To qualify as a "Taiyo no Tamago" mango, each fruit must weigh at least 350 grams and have a high sugar content. While $3,140 is steep for a pair of mangoes, fruit is routinely expensive in Japan and it is not unusual for a single apple to cost upwards of US$3.This year's must-have luxury fruit is a particular brand of strawberry, with a single berry currently selling for around US$415.However, all pale in comparison with the tear-inducing US$25,000 price-tag for a pair of cantaloupe melons auctioned in 2008.
Man must pay ex $32,000 for making secret sex tape
A judge ordered a Montreal mechanic to pay his ex-girlfriend $32,000 in damages for secretly taping them having sex, Le Soleil reports. The two twentysomethings, who weren't named in the ruling, started dating in 2010. It was a poorly kept secret that the young man had videos of himself having sex with former lovers. His new girlfriend was intrigued about the videos but made it very clear he was never to film them having sex. He agreed. One day, in the winter of 2011, while her boyfriend was at work, she decided she wanted to check out the video of him having sex with two women. To her horror, one of the USB keys had a video of her having sex, Le Soleil reports.
Furious, she broke up with him. She decided to file a lawsuit because friends showed her evidence he hadn't destroyed the video. According to Le Soleil's report, the case proved the young man never posted the video online, but the judge still found the recording itself to be a vile and degrading betrayal. The judge ordered the young man to destroy the video, stay away from his ex and never post any images of her online.
