Honestly... you'd think these people never watched any crime shows. Don't they know that suffocation will leave petechial hemorrhage marks in the eyes?

They probably thought they were in the clear if they didn't fracture the hyoid bone!

They killed him four years ago. Article says murder was never suspected, they only got caught because one of them spilled the beans to their mutual fuck buddy.

You're taking me too literally but seriously... sometimes when I read about these real life murders I do wonder why people don't realize they are leaving obvious clues but I suppose if you're stupid enough murder someone .......

Man who poisoned colleagues' sandwiches jailed for life

(CNN)A court in Germany has sentenced a 57-year-old man to life imprisonment for poisoning his colleagues' sandwiches.

The man, identified under local law as Klaus O, added dangerous heavy metals to food items at the factory where he worked in the town of Schloss Holte-Stukenbrock over several years, according to CNN affiliate RTL.

The court in Bielefeld, North Rhine-Westphalia, found him guilty of attempted murder Thursday and imposed the maximum custodial sentence.

The judge said the crimes were as serious as murder, according to German news agency DPA.

Two victims have been left with serious kidney damage and a third is now in a vegetative state after falling into a coma, RTL reported.

Klaus O refused to speak during his trial and the motive for his actions is still unclear.

However, a mental health expert for the prison service told the court that the defendant wanted to see how the poison would affect his colleagues, like a scientist performing tests on a rabbit, according to RTL.

In May 2018, a security camera captured Klaus O opening a co-worker's lunchbox and putting a substance on the sandwich inside, the police said in a statement in June last year.

A small bottle of a "powdery substance" was found in the suspect's bag after he was taken into custody, police said.

The owner of the sandwich had raised the alarm earlier, after discovering an unknown substance smeared on his lunch. He informed his company's management, which in turn notified police.

Testing by the regional criminal office of North Rhine-Westphalia indicated the substance on the bread was toxic lead acetate, and there was enough to cause severe organ damage, authorities said.

Authorities broadened the investigation after two other cases of illness at the company in recent years were discovered.

Klaus O was brought before a judge on May 17, who issued an arrest warrant for attempted murder.

Fire brigade specialists found mercury, lead and cadmium in the suspect's apartment in Bielefeld. Police said the man "has long tried to produce toxic substances, including heavy metal compounds," based on substances found in his home.

CNN's Nadine Schmidt contributed to this report.

In the early state of Israel European Jews stole the babies and toddlers of Middle Eastern and North African Jews--telling the parents the children were dead and giving the kids to other European Jews to raise "properly"--so that the kids would grow up to fit into the modern state.

"County Attorney Alex Nixon said the other charges of theft, robbery and evidence tampering were dropped, and that the prosecution and defense will jointly recommend life in prison at Schifferns’ May 6 sentencing."

Lucky guy, he'll only have to serve life instead of life plus. I hate it when they coddle criminals.

Why? Why do people like this have/adopt children? Time and time again we read about people who chain-up and abuse their children and usually they are people who have large broods. Honestly just don't get it.


Jennifer Hart drove her six children to their deaths as her wife looked up how much they would suffer, a jury says



(CNN)As a drunk Jennifer Hart drove her six adopted children in their family SUV, her wife, Sarah, sat in the passenger seat looking up different ways to end a life.

The SUV carrying the Hart family would drive off a 100-foot Pacific coast cliff on that day in March last year -- a tragedy police say took all eight lives and sparked questions about abuse and homicide.

As the car was in motion, Sarah was busy with the searches:
"How easily can I overdose on over the counter medications?"

"Can 500mg of Benadryl kill a 125lb woman?"

"How long does it take to die from hypothermia while drowning in a car?"

They intended to kill their 6 children, jury finds

The horrifying details emerged Thursday after a coroner's jury unanimously ruled that Jennifer and Sarah Hart intended to die along with their six adopted children: Markis, 19, Jeremiah and Abigail, both 14, Devonte, 15, Hannah, 16, and Ciera, 12.

At first, it seemed unfathomable the parents would drive their children from their home in Woodland, Washington, to their deaths in Mendocino County, California. Their social media pages included photos of beaming children holding "love is always beautiful" signs.

In some photos, they had on matching T-shirts and wide grins.

As the national spotlight on the story grew, more details emerged that the children desperately sought help from neighbors. Allegations surfaced that their parents abused and starved the six adopted children.

Driver got intoxicated to build her courage
The coroner's inquest gave more insight into what led Jennifer and Sarah to end the lives of all eight Harts.

When authorities entered the Hart home, it seemed neat, orderly and newly remodeled, said investigator Jake Slates from the California Highway Patrol. But while Jennifer and Sarah's were decorated, Slates said, the children's rooms were bare.

Investigators noted that their luggage was left behind, and the family did not take their toothbrushes before leaving for two days.

"In my opinion, Sarah and Jennifer succumbed to a lot of pressure," said Lt. Shannon Barney of the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office. "They got to the point where they made a conscious decision to end their lives and take their children with them."

As Jennifer drove down the US 101 highway, she had five beers in her system, enough to make it difficult for her to function, according to Slates. Witnesses told police that Jennifer rarely drank.

The theory is that she drank to build up her courage, Slates said.

"My feeling is based on talking to witnesses that they felt if they couldn't have those kids, no one was going to have those kids," Slates said.

Kids sought help in the middle of the night
Days before the family died in the crash, Child Protective Services in Washington requested a welfare check on the family. But no one answered the door on March 26; the family was already gone.

Calls to the police began just two years after the Harts became parents, while they were living in Minnesota. They were first called in 2008 when one child told an adult that Jennifer struck the child in the arm, but the state closed the case claiming the child fell.

After another call in 2011, Sarah Hart pleaded guilty to domestic assault after admitting to police she bruised her child by spanking her over the edge of a bathtub.

After the family moved to Woodland, Washington, the children started going to their neighbor, Bruce DeKalb, for help and food in the middle of the night.

According to a case report, the children also complained of racist behavior.

Witnesses told California Highway Patrol that the children were "extremely disciplined, almost to the point of being robotic," walking single-file to the bedroom and being told when to go to the bathroom, Slates said.

On March 23, DeKalb called CPS to check on the family. The next day, they packed up their SUV and began their drive from Washington to California.

Questions remain on abuse oversight
At first, only Jennifer, Sarah and three children were identified.

Jennifer was intoxicated, and Sarah and two of the children tested positive for diphenhydramine, an active ingredient in Benadryl.

Ciera's body was found on a beach north of the cliff two weeks later. Parts of a foot in a shoe were found on a beach that May, but investigators could not identify the remains as a Hart child until January this year, when a DNA sample proved it was Hannah.

Devonte is still missing and, while they believe he perished with his brothers and sisters, authorities are hoping the public can provide information to prove them wrong.

Jennifer and Sarah cannot be questioned or stand trial for what happened on that California cliff. The inquest is closed, and their death certificates now list suicide while the children's list homicide.

What can change now, Mendocino County Sheriff-Coroner Thomas Allman told reporters, is the federal oversight of abuse. Five states were involved with the adoptions and abuse allegations of the children.

"Where are the systematic failures that possibly could have prevented this?" Allman said. "We do not have a national database for child abuse allegations."

This, Allman said, should be an "enlightening moment" for lawmakers.

How can I get Coroner Jury duty??

The "right" to bear/have children is more sacrosanct than that for guns. The good news is most children, but unfortunately not all, are incredibly resilient.

[jono]

There is no right to adopt, though. FBI background checks are required but apparently you only have to be treated like a criminal until you actually get a chance to start acting like one. Helluva system we got.

The animals strike back...

Five suspected poachers entered Kruger National Park in South Africa last week to kill rhinos living there, according to authorities.

Only four of the men left alive.

The fifth was killed by an elephant and later "devoured" by a pride of lions, park officials said in a statement.

"Entering Kruger National Park illegally and on foot is not wise, it holds many dangers and this incident is evidence of that," said Glenn Phillips, the park's managing executive.

The four alleged poachers who survived were arrested and will appear in court "in due course", the statement said.

They will remain in custody until Friday, pending bail, reported Times Live, a South African news site. Authorities have launched an investigation into the alleged poacher's death and accomplices.

Park officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Washington Post.

Police Brig. Leonard Hlathi told Times Live that the elephant attacked "suddenly", killing the man.

"His accomplices claimed to have carried his body to the road so that passersby could find it in the morning," Hlathi said.

"They then vanished from the park. "

The suspected poachers called the dead man's family, which then called Don English, regional ranger for Skukuza - the most popular game reserve in the country.

English assured the family that he would "do everything possible" to recover the body, according to the park statement.

A search party, including rangers on foot and a crew with the South African National Parks air wing, scoured the area Wednesday but did not find the man.

They resumed their efforts Thursday and found the man's remains in the Crocodile Bridge area of the park, near the Crocodile River.

The area, according to the Kruger National Park website, is known for its high concentration of lion prides. It also houses a large percentage of the park's rhino population.

All that the lions had left behind of the man was his skull and a pair of pants, authorities said.

In the park statement, Phillips commended the search party for helping the family find closure. He also offered the family his condolences.

"It is very sad to see the daughters of the deceased mourning the loss of their father, and worse still, only being able to recover very little of his remains," Phillips said.

When the other suspected poachers were arrested, authorities seized two .375 hunting rifles and ammunition.

The men were charged with possessing firearms and ammunition without a license, conspiracy to poach and trespassing, Times Live reported.

South Africa is home to the continent's largest rhino population - about 20,000 of the 25,000 living in Africa. It holds nearly 80 percent of the world's rhino population.

Although poaching numbers have been steadily declining in recent years, more than 8,000 rhinos have been killed in the past decade.

Poaching numbers were most severe between 2013 and 2017, when more than 1,000 rhinos were killed in South Africa annually, according to statistics from Save the Rhino. Those numbers dipped below 1,000 in 2018, with 769 total poachings.
