It's a family affair!

Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and baby North headed out in New York City for a dinner date for three. Kardashian pushed her daughter in a stroller before West showed off his paternal side and carried the tiny tot in her car seat.

Widow Sleeps With Dead Husband's Decomposing Corpse For A Year After His Death (GRAPHIC PHOTOS)

A woman had been sleeping next to her dead husband's decomposed corpse for one year until authorities made the grizzly discovery this week.

Apparently, 79-year-old "Marcel H." from Liege, Belgium, died back in November 2012 of an asthma attack, according to Carters News Agency. His wife was so upset that she failed to report the death and continued to sleep with the body until Belgian authorities made the bizarre finding on Tuesday, Nov. 19.

They were led to the apartment because the landlord claimed the couple hadn't paid their rent since last year. Neighbors never reported a bad smell. The body had mummified.

WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGES BELOW

"A body can mummify in a dry, warm environment," Philippe Boxho, pathologist at the Forensic Center of Liege told Carters. "It takes at least a week to reach such a state. In this case the body had rotten [sic] in the bed [and] his internal organs had melted and liquefied. ... Even though the smell of human decay is quite specific, many people equate that smell to the smell of garbage and once the body has become rotten the smell does decrease significantly."

Although this seems impossible, it has happened before.

Dr. Christian Hansch with the Department of Forensic Medicine at the University of Antwerp detailed an instance of mummification back in the 1970s. The body of a man who committed suicide in the cellar of his home in Belgium was found mummified 14 months (or 433 days) after his death. Hansch attributed this to the dry and well-ventilated environment.

"In such circumstances, the decomposition process is slowed down, while both drying-up and autolysis of tissues prevail," he wrote in a report detailing find.

Last year, a Michigan woman was found living with her boyfriend's mummified body months after his death. She had been cashing in his Social Security checks after he died, but she insisted she kept the body simply because she didn't want to be alone. She was later charged with forgery.

Kim Kardashian Unleashes Twitter Rant Over Report She Used Cosmetic 'Tricks' After Giving Birth

Kim Kardashian had some harsh words for the media following the publication of a tabloid story claiming she has spent thousands of dollars on cosmetic procedures to get her body back after baby.

The 33-year-old reality star appears on the latest cover of Life & Style magazine beside the headline, "Weight-Loss Cheater." The story claims Kardashian did not lose weight by going on the Atkins diet, but rather by getting secret cosmetic procedures done by Dr. Simon Ourian at Beverly Hills' Epione clinic -- like fillers, stretch-mark treatments and a fat-reducing ultrasound procedure on her stomach.

“Kim and other high-profile clients can sneak in through a back door," a supposed "source" from the clinic told Life & Style. “She even wore workout clothes to throw off the photographers and begged them to make it look like she was going inside to work out, not to get laser treatments."

But Kardashian was having none of the gossip Wednesday (Nov. 20) when she took to Twitter, lashing out at the mag for its false claims.

Sad Ending For Baby Who Came 'Back To Life' In Morgue

A morgue worker in Colombia got quite the shock last week when a baby, believed to be dead, came "back to life."

According to the Associated Press, the 27-week-old infant was declared dead at 3:20 a.m. on Nov. 13 about 35 minutes after she was delivered prematurely via cesarean section. Ten hours later, when the baby girl's family came to collect the body from the hospital's morgue, an attendant noticed something unusual: signs of life.

The 1.9-pound baby, whose lungs were not yet fully developed, was swiftly airlifted from the rural town of Quibdó to a hospital in nearby Bogota for treatment. However, the story of the infant's unusual revival does not have a happy ending; the baby girl, who was named "Milagros," or "Miracles," passed away in the hospital's specialized care unit Monday night, according to local media.

Initial reports hold that the infant died of respiratory failure.

At the time the baby was found alive in the morgue, doctors hailed the recovery as a miracle since the premature baby was able to survive for so long outside of an incubator.

While it's still not clear exactly what happened, one specialist in the area offered an explanation.

"In some cases the heart movements are not perceptible even though the newborn is alive, they can declare it dead,” Dr. Javier Zagarra told weekly magazine Semana, according to Colombia Reports. "When they wrap the baby in a sheet, upon receiving warmth, the baby can then revitalize."

One Killed, Seven Injured In Expressway Accident

A commercial  bus and a mini-truck conveying margarine collided on the Arepo end of Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Monday evening. It was learnt that one passengers was killed, while seven others sustained burns.

Eyewitnesses alleged that the accident was caused by a truck laden with noodles.

An eyewitness, Thomas Adelakun, said, “Trucks usually park on the side of the road. Around 5.45pm, one of the trucks was attempting to negotiate into the expressway but did not observe oncoming traffic.

“A passenger bus and a mini-truck laden with margarine, both on top speed, were driving by when the truck swerved in their direction. In a bid to avoid the truck, the bus swerved and  ran into the mini truck.

“The truck sped off. The margarine truck caught fire and it spread to the passenger bus.”

It was also learnt that the three occupants of the mini-truck came out alive but sustained severe burns.

The passengers of the bus were not as fortunate as the bus fell on its side, making it almost impossible for them to escape from the fire.

The driver of the bus exited the bus with injuries.

A few minutes later, policemen attached to the Ibafo Police Division and some rescue officials rushed to the scene and rescued five passengers from the bus.

“One of the passengers was screaming for help but unfortunately, no one could help him. He was roasted before the police arrived,” an eyewitness said.

A senior police officer, who wished to remain anonymous, said, “Four women, two children and one official of the Federal Road Safety Corps were injured. They have been rushed to a hospital in Ibafo.

“Rescue efforts are still on but one corpse has been roasted inside the fire.”

The accident caused a gridlock on both sides of the expressway as motorists drove against the traffic.

As of 8.30pm, efforts were still being made to put out the flames.

Driver Strips Naked to Evade Arrest!!!

There was drama at the Palmgrove Bus Stop, Ikorodu Road, Lagos State, on Monday when a commercial bus driver stripped naked to avoid being arrested by officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority. The LASTMA officials had blocked five different commercial buses for indiscriminately taking passengers by the side of the road.

Passengers in the four vehicles were asked to alight, as officials of the traffic agency took over the wheels of the impounded vehicles. There was however drama when the old man who drove the fifth bus suddenly went inside his bus and brought out a bowl. A fetid odour emanating from the bowl polluted the fresh morning air.

The LASTMA officers, policemen and commuters ran for cover.

But one of the officials came back and stood his ground, wielding a baton and insisting that the man must follow them. When it became obvious that the odour strategy had failed, the driver began pulling off his clothes, prostrating by the front tyres of the vehicle and rolling on the floor.

A crowd formed around the area, with some of the bystanders capturing the scene with their camera phones. One of the officials was heard telling his colleagues to “leave him alone and let him go.”

However, they took close shots of the vehicle number plate, and the driver, before taking other seized vehicles away.

A resident who said he knew the old man well, said, “That is how the man usually does. His bus plies Lagos Island everyday and he picks his passengers from that spot.”

The source, who did not identify himself, added that it was the second time the man would put up the show. He said the bus was owned by a military officer. The old man was approached for comment, he refused to talk.

When he was, however, confronted with the allegation of being a serial offender, he said, “Look, whoever wants to talk should talk. Everybody has his problems and I have mine.” He drove the vehicle into a filling station.

Attempts to speak with LASTMA proved abortive. An officer who spoke with our correspondent on the telephone said he was not disposed to comment and referred him to another senior officer, who equally declined comment.

Police Arrest Ritual Killers In Jos

The Plateau State Police Command has arrested five persons in connection with the death of an 11-year old girl. They were said to have been arrested in the Filin Sukwa area of Jos North Local Government Area.

The girl, identified as Ummu Salma, was allegedly killed by the men, who removed some parts of her body ostensibly for ritual purposes.

Our correspondent gathered that the young girl was sent by her grandmother to buy a local snack, called masa. But when she did not return after a while, a search party was set up to look for her.

An eyewitness, Alhaji Abubakar Tanko, said, “The grandmother told us that she had sent the girl to buy masa for their breakfast.

“We visited the place where she went to buy the masa and it was confirmed that she had left. We were told that she returned to buy the same food for another person, identified as Auwalu Ajanguwa.”

Tanko said that Ajanguwa, upon interrogation, claimed to have seen one Nafiu, going up the hill with the girl, but after frantic search around the hills, the girl and Nafiu were not found. The mutilated body of Ummu was discovered the next day with her eyes and tongue removed.

Alhaji Habibu Nakande, who was one of those who found the girl’s lifeless body said, “We found her in one of the uncompleted buildings in the area, after arresting Nafiu.”

Tanko, who said Ajanguwa’s arrest led to the arrest of Nafiu, Rabiu alias Rabson and one other person said they were taken to the Nasarawa Police station in Jos.

The suspects were said to have claimed that they were paid N300,000 to supply human parts by one Alhaji Aminu, a shoe seller in Jos, who had been arrested.

Plateau State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Felicia Anselm, confirmed the incident.

She said, “Investigation is going on.”

Angry Residents Disarm, Arrest Armed Robber

Fed up with incessant robbery attacks on the community, residents of Oworonsoki Local Council Development Area of Lagos State on Friday defied death as they challenged four armed robbers suspected to have been terrorising the area.

They eventually ended up disarming the robbers and rounding them up. But three of the robbers managed to escape. One was, however, not that lucky. The suspect, who was identified as Eyinna, was said to have been beaten up by the mob before the arrival of the police at the scene.

The armed robber was said to have been caught because he could not run fast enough to escape the mob due to an injury he had on his foot.

An eyewitness, who craved anonymity for security reason, said the robbers had used the opportunity of the usual early morning traffic on the Olopo Meji end of the Oworonsoki Expressway, to rob car owners of their valuables.

Spurred on by the degree of their success, they were said to have tried to rob a woman of her Honda Accord car when the victim raised the alarm which drew the attention of residents.

He added that as the men dragged the steering with the woman, the car crashed into another vehicle which was also stuck in the early morning heavy traffic.

He said, “It was around 6am on Friday morning. People suddenly began hearing a woman screaming for help on Berger Bus Stop. We all rushed to the scene.

“When the robbers saw that the residents were not intimidated by their guns, they began to run. The people pursued them because they were determined to get them.

“Three of them escaped, but people got Eyinna while he was trying to scale the fence. We saw he could not run well because he was limping.”

He said a lot of money was found in the shoes of the suspect, while he was also found with handsets and other valuables. The source said the police were called to the scene after some of the angry residents had beaten Eyinna to stupor.

Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Command, Ngozi Braide, who confirmed the incident, said the suspect died from injuries he sustained during the beating.

She said, “The Bariga Police Station indeed received a distress call that there was a mob action going on around Oworonshoki, Berger Bus Stop on Friday morning.

“They discovered that it was a four-man robbery gang, that was trying to drag the steering of a car from a woman.  The residents were able to apprehend only one of them. But the man could not talk, because he had been seriously injured. He died at the hospital where we rushed him to.”

Braide added that the owner of the damaged vehicle had made statements to the police on the incident.

Gunmen Storm Ekiti Hospital Demand New Born Babies

Five gunmen, suspected to be ritualists on Sunday invaded the government hospital in Ado-Ekiti, demanding for new born babies.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the gunmen who were said to be numbering about five, arrived at the hospital at about 1am demanding for a day old babies, and beating up staff who could not give satisfactory answer.

A senior health officer, who pleaded anonymity, said that the armed men invaded the hospital located along Irona area at about 1am and suddenly began molesting medical officials on night duty. According to the officer, the invaders, who were fully armed, are rhetorically demanding for the whereabouts of a particular baby, said to have been delivered earlier in the day.

“They got more annoyed when they were told that no baby was available in the hospital as at the time they came, it angered then the more and they went berserk,” the officer said.

This development, NAN learnt angered the men who beat up the hospital staff and injured some of them.

“As a senior person on duty, I tried to convince them that all new born babies have been discharged from the centre in the last couple of days, but they refused to be convinced.

“This angered them the more and they descended on the staff beating us, some of them were busy ransacking the place in search of babies,” the source said.

When contacted, the Chairman of Ado Local Government, Mr. Tope Olanipekun confirmed the incident, saying “this is a new twist to crime in the area.”

Olanipekun, who claimed to have visited the hospital to see things for himself, described the incident as “highest point of callousness on the part of the perpetrators.”

“As I speak, the incident actually happened and I want to assure you that we are taking step to forestall a recurrence.”

The chairman said that he had already ordered that night duty be suspended in all the hospitals in the council, pending when tight security measures, which would include fencing of all health centres be taken.

The State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Victor Babayemi, ASP, who was surprised at the development, however said the incident was yet to be reported to the police command.

MEND Demands Release Of Okah Brothers

Movement for the Emancipation of the  Niger Delta (MEND) has told Nigerian and South African governments to release Okah brothers and  other political hostages languishing in prisons.

It has also claimed responsibility for the killing of some soldiers and a policeman at the Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC) jetty in Port Harcourt.

MEND, in a statement issued yesterday evening by is spokesperson, Jomo Gbomo, said  governments of the two countries should release the Okahs and others if they want peace and security to reign.

MEND debunked  the security report that the incident at Agip jetty was a foiled kidnap attempt. “We urge the governments of South Africa and Nigeria at this time to allow the bud of peace and security a chance to sprout by releasing the Okah brothers and other political hostages being incarcerated with trumped-up charges.

“On Wednesday, November 13, 2013, soldiers of the Joint Task Force (JTF), and a policeman, were killed around the Agip jetty in Port-Harcourt, Rivers State, after trying to intercept MEND fighters on a reconnaissance mission. Contrary to speculations, they were not attempting to carry out a kidnap operation.”

Giving an update on ‘Hurricane Exodus’ from October  27 to November 16, 2013, MEND said:  “We first broke the news of the hostage release exclusively to Ms Debora Patta, of CBS news who was hesitant to use the information days before it was made public by a US State Department’s spokeswoman.

“Following the due process, a ransom of 2 million US dollars in cash was paid, with a larger percentage of it coming from an embarrassed Nigerian Maritime and Safety Administration Agency (NIMASA).”

It said further: “Some respite came to the oil companies operating in the Niger Delta region from October 27 – November 01, 2013 when ‘Hurricane Exodus’ was downgraded to a gentle breeze as a mark of respect to the late Vice Admiral Mike O. Akhigbe (Rtd) whose flagship finally sunk after a valiant and protracted battle with cancer.

“The late Vice Admiral Akhigbe (Rtd) was the leader of the disbanded MEND Aaron Team selected and mandated by the group to dialogue on its behalf with the government of the late President Musa Yar’Adua on issues that led to our insurgency before any amnesty could be considered. But, they were never given that opportunity after President Goodluck Jonathan became president following the death of President Yar’Adua.”

Man, 38, Tortured To Death

A 55-year-old mother in Ejilewe Ukwuagba Ngbo community, Ebonyi State, Mrs. Alice Nwakpu is now beset by deep regret for handing over her son to a vigilance group in their community on the suspicion that he                                           stole her two cellphones.

Rather than recover the phones, she got a dead son back: the young man was virtually tortured to death by the ‘do-good’ vigilante members.

According to Mrs. Nwakpu, she had only wanted the leaders of the Ejilewe Ukwuagba Neighbourhood Security Committee to punish her son, Ome Nwakpu, 38, she alleged had stolen her phones, but the group of vigilantes went beyond their brief.

Narrating the unfortunate incident, which he described as “terrible and ugly,” the Commissioner of Police, Ebonyi State Police Command, Mr. Maigari Dikko told Sunday Sun that the vigilante tied Ome with a rope and tortured him for about 12 hours, apparently to extract a confession from him.

The ugly cycle of events that led to Ome’s untimely death began when his mother noticed that her phones had ‘developed wings’ and she accused him of stealing them. Probably not convinced with his denials, she reported the matter to one Dennis Eze, leader of the vigilance group.

Eze called some members of the group on phone and Ome was promptly arrested at about 6.00am and taken to their operational base for interrogation. They tied his hands with a rope and at some point in the course of the interrogation began to torture him.

Later that day, at 6.00pm, Ome was released to his mother. By then he was in great pain and could not walk well. Two days later he died.

CP Dikko disclosed that it was one Omeh Elijah, a lawyer,who reported the death of the victim to the police at Ohaukwu Police Station, stating that the young man died as a result of the torture meted out to him by the Ejilewe vigilance group.

Upon receiving the report, the police moved and quickly rounded up the alleged culprits, namely, Dennis Eze, 38; Emeka Eze, 25; Amo Eke, 55 and Onwe Edwin, 37.

Lamenting over her monumental error, Ome’s mother told Sunday Sun: “I have regretted what I have done. It was me that said my son, Ome Nwakpu stole my two phones and I reported him to the head of the vigilance group, Dennis Eze. They tied him with ropes and they tortured him.”

She explained further: “I bought a carton of beer and a bottle of hot drink for the vigilantes for a job well done. But later I saw that my son was weak and couldn’t walk properly. Two days later he died. I want my son to forgive me. I thought they would help me to warn him but I didn’t send them to beat him to death. I have explained to the entire family. This is beyond what I can explain, only God can deliver me from this predicament.”

Ome’s mother’s regret is now cold comfort to him as his body lies in the mortuary of Comprehensive Hospital, Ngbo, where it was deposited.

CP Dikko revealed that an autopsy conducted on the victim’s body to determine the cause of death found that Ome died of internal hemorrhage as a result of severe head and soft tissue injuries. He said that the suspects would soon be charged to court.
