  • American slashes wife’s throat for burning his passport

    A 21-year-old Florida man, Xichen Yang, has been arrested after he confessed to brutally slitting his wife’s throat for burning his passport.

     

    It was gathered that Yang dragged his wife, Nhu Quynh Pham, into a bathtub and started playing her favorite music while she bled to death.

     

    Yang is expected to go before a judge for the first time, but had previously been arrested for hitting his wife in Orange County though the charges were dropped.

     

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that the two had only been married about a year.

    Murder

     

    Altamonte Springs police said Yang confessed to the murder and some disturbing details.

     

    Yang admitted to police that he killed his wife, Nhu Quynh Pham, on Monday in the apartment they shared in Altamonte Springs, Florida.

     

    Yang, who has since been charged with first-degree murder and evidence tampering, told cops that he killed his wife because she had burned his passport, according to local outlet WESH.

     

    Police were called to the couple’s home around 8:50am on Monday after Yang failed to turn up to work, and told his boss during a phone call that he had murdered his wife.

    Murder

     

    Officers and emergency personnel the found Yang’s wife, ‘lying in a pool of blood in a bathtub located in the bathroom directly to the right of the front entrance to the apartment,’ according to the complaint, Law&Crime reported.

     

    Yang was later located by cops, and he was charged with first-degree premeditated murder and tampering with physical evidence, according to ASPD police said in a news release.

    During his arrest, Yang allegedly confessed to his wife’s gruesome murder providing details of the knife he used in the stabbing, how she crawled down the hallway, and then how he dragged her into the bathtub.

     

    He admitted in the complaint that he held her down in the bathwater for at least 10 minutes, as he ‘played her favorite music,’ and ‘held her hand’ until she died.

     

    After she died, he started to clean the pools of blood splattered all over the walls and floor before fleeing the area.

     

    Police said the victim sustained a ‘deep laceration to the left side of her neck’ and her stomach had ‘pooled with blood,’ TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reported.

    Murder

     

    Police said Yang said he flew into a rage after Pham burned his passport, and he could have ‘stopped short’ but decided not to.

     

    He told authorities that was ‘not how he was raised’ and that he is the type of person who always ‘goes all the way,’ the complaint stated.

     

    Yang reportedly worked as a technician at Marco Polo Pools in Orlando Florida.

     

    Michael Rathal, who was Yang’s boss, was the person who called 911 and told the dispatcher that Yang claimed he had just killed his wife, according to the complaint.

    ‘Yang called Rathel’s son, Michael Cole Rathel, and informed him he had stabbed his wife, killing her, and was attempting to clean up the evidence,’ the elder Rathel allegedly told the dispatcher.

     

    The young victim was from Vietnam.

     

    A GoFundMe has been created to help raise money to assist Pham’s family for funeral expenses, and to help transport her back to her country.

     

    As of Thursday, nearly $6,100 has been raised towards their goal of $10,000.

     

    In a related development, in Nigeria, two motorcyclists confessed to brutally killing a 21-year-old nursing mother, Chimhurumnanya Udeh, and selling her 11-month-old baby boy for N150,000 in Aba.

  • Man slashes own throat over failed US Visa application

    Man slashes own throat over failed US Visa application

    An unidentified Mexican asylum-seeker slit his own throat on a bridge after being denied entry into the United States, two Mexican security officials said.

    The man, on Wednesday, tried to enter the United States at the Pharr–Reynosa International Bridge between the Mexican border city of Reynosa and Pharr, Texas but was denied entry.

    The officials, who were not authorized to speak publicly, said that around 5 p.m. local time, the man drew a knife and cut his throat when denied access to the United States. Both officials said the man was seeking asylum.

    “He committed suicide,” one of the officials said. The man killed himself on the Mexican side of the bridge, just meters away from the international dividing line, the other source said.

    According to Reuters, a short, grainy video shared by one of the security sources showed the man, dressed in a blue shirt, approaching U.S. officials on the bridge and raising a hand to his neck. Photos shared by the source showed the man’s body lying in a pool of blood with his throat cut. Reuters could not vouch for the authenticity of the video or photographs. It was unclear why the man had killed himself.

    The attorney general’s office for the Mexican state of Tamaulipas, where Reynosa lies, said it was investigating the man’s death.

    Many Mexicans who seek refuge in the United States say their lives are at risk at home from violent criminal gangs, which have made parts of the country increasingly perilous. Homicides have reached record levels in Mexico during the last two years.

    U.S. President Donald Trump has made tightening border security and reducing illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico frontier a priority of his administration.

    Man, 40, slits mother’s throat over land argument in Imo

    The people of Okpunoeze village in Uraugu community of Nnewi, Anambra, were on Wednesday thrown into mourning over the murder of Mrs Bene Ikegwuonwu, 70, by her son, Chinedu Ikegwuonwu, 40.

    The incident occurred at about 8 a.m. after an altercation between the duo over a piece of land belonging to the suspect’s younger brother.

    A source, who pleaded anonymity, said the deceased was cooking when her son allegedly approached surreptitiously from behind and slit her throat with a machete.

    “The suspect left the house immediately after the incident, leaving behind his wife and son,” the source added.

    The late woman is said to be blessed with four boys and three girls, one of who died recently in a fatal accident.

    A family member, who pleaded anonymity, said the suspect returned to Nnewi from a failed business in Aba, Abia.

    The source said that the suspect had had a running battle with his mother over his attempt to grab his younger brother’s land.

    “The woman gave Chinedu some money to raise the foundation of his building because he was unable to do anything about it after a year and half.

    “She even went to the extent of taking money from her late daughter’s bank account for the suspect to complete his building after which he then turned around to take over a portion of land belonging to his younger brother,” the source said.

    When contacted, Mr Haurna Mohammed, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), a Superintendent of Police (SP), confirmed the incident, noting that the police had launched an investigation into the case.
