Teenager who disappeared on beach seven years ago 'was gang-raped, shot and fed to alligators'

 

A teenage girl who vanished on an American beach during Spring Break seven years ago was gang-raped, shot and fed to alligators, police believe.
Brittanee Drexel was 17 when she vanished in South Carolina sparking a major investigation in 2009 - now the FBI has revealed she suffered a horrifyingly violent death.
The agency recently revealed that the had established Brittanee was held against her will for several days before she was killed.
And in a transcript obtained by the Post and Courier of Charleston, Agent Gerrick Munoz testified about a "jailhouse confession" which detailed how the grim crime unravelled.
Taquan Brown, who is serving 25 years for an unrelated manslaughter case, said he saw Brittannee when he visited a "stash house" in the area she was last seen.He said she was being sexually abused by several men.

As he went to give another man at the property some money, Brittanee apparently made an attempt to flee.
She was "pistol-whipped" and taken back inside before Brown said he heard two gunshots.
He says he saw the body wrapped up and taken away.
Agent Munoz testified in a federal court that "several witnesses have told us Miss Drexel’s body was placed in a pit, or gator pit, to have her body disposed of. Eaten by the gators."

 

Authorities have searched the property and the alligator pits but have found no trace of Brittanee.
Brown's tale has been corroborated by other tip-offs, a court heard.
Brittanee was on holiday with friends in Myrtle Beach when she was reported missing in April 2009.
Police offered a $25,000 reward and issued CCTV images of Brittanee leaving a hotel, the last confirmed sighting of the teen.
Her mother Dawn said this week: "After seven long years of waiting and praying for the return of my daughter we know that she isn’t coming home alive."

This dog's bizzare daily routine at an Indian temple has got people baffled (photos)

According to reports, for the past week, the Mahalakshmi temple in Puttenahalli, India, has become the scene of a most peculiar sight after the dog living near a bakery opposite the temple wakes up early in the morning and starts circling the holy building, sometimes well into the evening.
 
Oddity Central says nobody can explain the canine’s bizarre behaviour, but his story has been attracting a lot of attention, and more and more people are showing up to watch him do his rounds, resulting in traffic jams on surrounding streets.

9News India reports that the dog starts circling the Mahalakshmi temple at about 4 a.m. every day, stopping at the south-eastern side of the building after each round. There, he barks a few times and then proceeds to circle the building once again. This goes on until about 10 a.m., when the dog returns to his home at the nearby bakery, but according to The Hindu, he sometimes circles the temple for much longer, even until evening.

The dog never seems bothered by people visiting the temple or simply blocking his path, either. He simply walks around them and continues his round until he comes full circle.

Priests at Mahalakshmi temple only noticed the mongrel’s routine little over a week ago, and when asked about the possible reasons behind it, they attributed it to the movement of the planet and explained it as the animal’s attempt to rid itself of an adverse spell cast by serpents. Whatever his reasons, the dog appears very determined, as one of the priests confirms.

One day, people started throwing rocks at him while he was circling the temple, and although he stopped for the day, he was back at it early the next morning. TV news crews also reported that the dog stopped circling Mahalakshmi when they approached him with the camera, but resumed his routine as soon as they backed away.

Circling a temple every day for over a week is already strange enough for a dog, but some people claim he has been at it for a lot longer than that.

Rakshith, a young resident of Puttenahalli, told 9News that he and his friends have been playing cricket near the temple for a while, and they first noticed the dog’s behavior 2-3 months ago.

The number of people coming to Mahalakshmi temple just to see the dog circling it is increasing every day, and local media reports that the growing crowds are affecting traffic in the area.

 An armoured personnel carrier was used to destroy pirated DVDs during a ceremonial destruction of confiscated counterfeit and pirated goods in The Philippines on Monday.
It was put to better use by helping to crush the contraband goods at the main police headquarters at Camp Crame in Quezon city, Metro Manila.

Government workers also used rollers to destroy the counterfeit sunglasses and other pirated materials. Filipino workers then collected the crushed piles and put the debris into rubbish skips.
