March 20, 2018 By Troy Rubenson Leave a Comment

Florida Woman in Custody for Slaughtering Mother

The Florida woman allegedly butchered her mother’s body to seek salvation.

Last week, on Friday morning, the Florida law enforcement officials had taken a Florida woman in custody accused of killing the mother with a glass shard and gouging out her eyes. A search of the premises revealed that the woman might have consumed marijuana laced with another powerful narcotic.

Florida Woman Sought Redemption by Murdering Her Mother

Following a rather unnerving phone call originating from a  Royal Palm Beach residence, the Florida authorities were summoned to investigate what sounded like a homicide.

According to the detectives on call, when they’ve arrived at the location, they’ve found a 32-year-old woman, later identified as Camille Balla, weeping on the front porch. Upon approaching Balla, the woman handed the authorities a blood-covered key and told them that the body of her recently-departed mother was inside the building.

A search of the premises revealed the cadaver of Balla’s 55-year-old mother, identified by the authorities as Francisca Monteiro-Balla. Forensics team declared that the woman probably died after sustaining multiple injuries to various areas of her body.

Furthermore, according to the authorities, the woman’s eyes were missing. The Florida woman told them that she used a sharp glass shard in order to stab her mother to death and to gouge out her eyes. She also told that the missing eyeballs could be found in the home’s garage, perched on an empty cardboard box.

Conclusion

Paramedics arriving on site had trouble treating the Florida woman as she was highly agitated, yelling that she killed her own mother out of selfishness. After searching the house, the detectives discovered an old notebook with Balla’s handwriting. The notebook contained various texts about how to woman planned to seek redemption.

A hospital test revealed that that the woman consumed marijuana laced with a powerful narcotic such as Flakka or PCP.

Porn-addicted man with no hand

Indian porn-addicted man gets hand chopped by strict father.

A porn-addicted 19-year-old man from India lost his right hand after his father used a butcher’s knife to chop it off. The man was later taken into custody by the authorities and charged with the murder attempt.

Porn-Addicted Man Told Police that He Struggled with Father Over New Phone

19-year-old Mohammad Khalid Qureshi told the authorities that ever since his 47-year-old father bought him a brand-new smartphone they had arguments over his alleged porn addition.

Mohammad Qayyam Qureshi declared that his son would spend hours on end watching the adult video and other of movies on his smartphone and, in the process, totally ignoring his house chores and cable company job.

Khalid declared that his first encounter with his murderous father was last week when the man tried to snatch his phone. Qayyam added that he caught his porn-addicted son watching movies on his phone and that’s why he tried to take it away from him.

The man managed to get away from his father and left the house. He returned later that evening when everyone was asleep, father including.

A couple of uneventful days have passed until Qayyam would catch his porn-addicted son watching those movies on his phone. Khalid told the authorities that they’ve quarreled, and, in a fit of rage, his father took a butcher’s knife from the kitchen and severed his right hand.

Conclusion

The 19-year-old was taken to the emergency room by some of his relatives. A close examination revealed that most of the hand was just too damaged to be reattached.

Qayyam surrendered the authorities the following day and confessed to chopping off his son’s hand. He is now behind bars pending the outcome of his trial. For his deed, the Indian man has been charged with premeditated murder.

March 9, 2018 By Troy Rubenson Leave a Comment

Intoxicated Manslaughter Aftermath

The bikini-clad woman who killed a man and an unborn child pleaded guilty to intoxicated manslaughter.

On Monday, 22-year-old Shana Elliot pleaded guilty to intoxicated manslaughter as part of a court deal. The woman will have to wait a few days for her sentence, as the jury deliberates on her two admitted counts of killing two persons after driving under the influence.

Bikini-Clad Driver Kills Man, Unborn Child, and Injures Mother, Pleads Guilty to Intoxicated Manslaughter

Shana Elliot admitted before the judge and jury that she’s guilty of having killed Kristian Nicole Guerrero and Fabian Guerrero-Moreno.

According to the woman’s arrest warrant, on the 2nd of August, Elliot went to a party where she spent most of the evening consuming beer and liquor. Despite being in advance stage of intoxication, Elliot boarded her Chevrolet Impala and drove home.

While on Highway 21, the woman, who was wearing only a bikini, lost control of the car, crossed over the center line and rammed a Toyota Corolla coming from the opposite direction. The car involved in the accident belonged to 23-year-old Fabian Guerrero-Moreno, a soon-to-be-father. His wife, 23-year-old Kristian Nicole Guerrero, was also in the car when the accident occurred.

The court records indicate that the woman was five months pregnant when Elliot rammed Guerrero-Moreno’s car. Following the accident, the first responders declared the woman’s husband died at the scene and rushed her to the nearby emergency room for surgery.

Unfortunately, the woman’s infant did not survive the accident, despite the doctors inducing labor in an attempt to save him.

Elliot’s blood alcohol level was 0.199 when she hit Guerrero-Moreno’s car. The woman was taken into custody and charged with DUI and intoxicated manslaughter. Fortunately, the doctors were able to stabilize Nicole Guerrero despite her injuries.

Reportedly, after the accident, Elliot kept asking the police officers to tell her what happened to the couple, saying that she would kill herself if she found out they were dead.

Kentucky Couple Charged in Death of Adult with Down Syndrome

March 1, 2018 By Troy Rubenson Leave a Comment

Down Syndrome Death

A Kentucky couple was formally charged with murder by negligence for allowing their bedridden son with Down Syndrome to die.

On Monday, a Kentucky couple was arrested and brought up on charges for allowing their 20-year-old son with Down Syndrome to die. According to the arrest warrant, the Kentucky couple ceased to provide the man with water and food soon after they’ve learned that the state won’t provide them with benefits.

Adult with Down Syndrome Was Bedridden

On Monday, the Winchester, Kentucky law enforcement officer arrested and charged 61-year-old Albert Christy and 65-year-old Patsy Christy with murder by neglect.

According to the authorities, the couple announced that their son, 20-year-old Logan Christy, who was diagnosed with a severe form of Down Syndrome, passed away in December, as a result of his life-long illness.

However, the coroner’s report painted an entirely different picture. Robert Gayheart, the Clark County Coroner who was in charge of the Christy case, testified before the court that upon performing Logan’s autopsy, he did not find any traces of undigested food in the stomach, despite Patsy claiming that she fed her son minutes before the collapsed.

The Kentucky couple’s court documents reveal that their ‘caring’ attitude towards their bedridden son shifted dramatically soon after Logan turned 18, which made him not eligible for applying for benefits. However, the prosecutor declared that the couple could have still tried to reapply and given the case’s severity, the state might have continued giving the boy his benefits.

Conclusion

Coroner Gayheart also stated that Logan’s cause of death was a combination of dehydration, malnutrition, and pneumonia. Furthermore, it would appear that the boy has stopped received medical treatment after the benefits stopped coming.

In their defense, the couple argued that they’ve always looked after their son, even after they stopped receiving money from the state. Patsy also told the judge that she recalls feeding her son 13 minutes before death.

Before French’s court appearance, his lawyers analyzed the footage from the arresting officer’s body camera, only to witness Brahman pickpocketing his charge like a common thief.
