13 year-old boy arrested in the beating death of his 5 year-old neighbor

Before Sida Osman went missing, the five-year-old was watching a group of kids from a church as they performed a skit about heaven from the Bible.

Johnje Jasper from the youth evangelism team from Grace Temple 7th Adventist Churchs said, "The last thing that he heard was [a lesson] about heaven.We hope that he took it to heart."

Hours later little Sida was beaten to death, allegedly by a 13 year-old neighbor. 



WFAA reports, "A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Fort Worth police in connection with the beating death of the boy. Osman was found dead of blunt force trauma Wednesday afternoon."

 Sida's mother, Dahabo Abdi, said,"I was broken in my heart. He's just a little kid. I don't know why he killed him."

 WFAA reports:
According to police, the male teenager, who is not identified because of his age, became irritated with Osman and “hit him multiple times in the head causing his death.” Osman's body was left in the backyard of a vacant house in the 4800 block of Lois Street. Neighbors told News 8 the teen suspect is known to cause trouble, from harassing children and adults to picking fights with them. "He was always, like, disrespecting [my mother] and calling her bad names," said Elizabeth Klyde, a 12-year-old resident of the complex. "My mom did not think it was going to go to this level -- of killing a little boy."
Watch:



Osman was reported missing at 10:25 p.m. on Tuesday night when family members told responding officers that he hadn't been seen since about 6:40 p.m, according to WFAA.

Sida's body was discovered at 1 p.m. Wednesday. No Amber Alert was issued, as the family and police didn't initially suspect the boy was in danger.

 Police defended their response to the boy's search with a statement by Chief Jeff Halstead which you can read here.


 Rest in peace Sida.

Video Gone Viral: Mysterious Spinning Ancient Egyptian Statue Caught on Surveillance Camera

An ancient Egyptian statue kept in a museum for 80 years has started spinning on its own. Mr Price, an Egyptologist said, “I noticed one day that it had turned around. I thought it was strange because it is in a case and I am the only one who has a key. I put it back but then the next day it had moved again. We set up a time-lapse video and, although the naked eye can’t see it, you can clearly see it rotate on the film."


The Political Carnival reports:

 The Daily Mail reports that the 25cm statue, a relic of the god of death found inside a mummy’s tomb, has been filmed inside the Manchester Museum spinning 180 degrees. The mystery of the moving mummy, which is sealed in a glass display case, has spooked museum bosses since the turnaround was caught on time lapse video. Museum curator Campbell Price said there could be a “spiritual explanation” to the spinning statue. “I noticed one day that it had turned around,” Mr Price, an Egyptologist, told the Daily Mail. “I thought it was strange because it is in a case and I am the only one who has a key.

Bizarre images and comments by the mother and boyfriend, just after he raped their baby to death

Article Mirror

By 

Prosecutors in St. Charles County, Missouri charged the mother of 4 month-old baby Ashlynn with abuse and second degree murder after allowing her boyfriend, Jordan Prince, to rape her, which resulted in the child’s death. What’s additionally disturbing are the mother and boyfriend’s thoughts written on Facebook just after little Ashlynn’s death.

The pictures are unnerving given the nature of the crime and the specifics of her death, and the fact that Jessica knew of Jordan Prince’s past as a sexual offender. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Prince had previously been found guilty of abusing a 4-year-old in Idaho. Jessica Howell reportedly knew about the incident and actually confirmed her boyfriend’s police record through an Internet search.



Donations were sent.



Jordan Prince caused his little baby to suffer a horrible, horrible death, including: petechial hemorrhages to her lower neck, abdomen, neck, chest legs and back. She further suffered contusions to her neck, under her chin and to her thymus. Also, hemorrhages to her thyroid, larynx and trachea. The infant also suffered blunt force trauma to the left side of her head causing a laceration in her ear and a hemorrhage near her skull. She suffered multiple tears to her anus, a massive laceration to her rectum, with massive hematoma in the pelvis area.

He behaved afterward as if he was a victim and garnered sympathy from Facebook friends.



This message was left underneath the post above, apparently from Jordan’s mother.

“So beautiful son. Lean on Him. I truly know he knows you and Jessica and Ashlynn is in His arms. So very very sorry for your loss and pain right now. My tears flow freely because when u hurt, I hurt. I Love you like u love her!!! Thank you for sharing this video. Mama”

From Jordan’s Dad, “Jordan, there aren’t words to tell you how sorry we are for you and your family. Always in our thoughts and prayers. Stay close to Him. I’ll always love you, Jordie. Dad”

From Jessica, the mother who gave permission for Jordan to rape their baby. Be sure to note the comment where she rants about the cause of death, saying is wrong; it wasn’t strangulation that caused Ashlynn’s death, it was head trauma according to Jessica, who is not a doctor.



Mom again:



A disregard for the consequences of her own actions.



Jordan and Jessica:



Jordan’s darkness.



An image on Jordan’s Facebook page.



Jordan’s Facebook wall. His comment reads, ‘This is me on a bad day.”



Halloween.







Jessica Howell Complaint




As for Jordan Prince, he was charged with first-degree murder in December. The grand jury indictment charges Prince with forcible sodomy and child abuse.

How could they? When she was born, Jordan wrote, “Buetiful ashlynn. 7lbs 6oz and 20 inch long [sic].”



Rest in peace little one.

Police: Mother Let Boyfriend Rape Her 4 Month-old daughter, Then He Raped Her To Death

Article Mirror

By Anomaly

Prosecutors in St. Charles County, Missouri, have charged the mother of a 4 month-old infant girl with abuse and second degree murder after allowing her boyfriend to rape her baby, which resulted in the child's death.

Prosecutors say that 25-year-old Jessica Lynn Howell was aware that her boyfriend, Jordan Lafayette Prince, had previous convictions for sexual offense against a minor. Still yet, she sent text messages giving permission for him to have sex with her infant daughter. St. Charles Prosecuting Attorney Tim Lohmar said, “In those text messages she suggested and encouraged some unspeakable things. It is very, very disturbing.” The complaint goes on to allege that Howell took Ashlynn to Prince’s home to spend the night at the time Ashlynn was murdered.

The highly disturbing complaint says Ashlynn died from strangulation, and being anally sodomized. The infant suffered petechial hemorrhages to her lower neck, abdomen, neck, chest legs and back. She further suffered contusions to her neck, under her chin and to her thymus. Also, hemorrhages to her thyroid, larynx and trachea. The infant also suffered blunt force trauma to the left side of her head causing a laceration in her ear and a hemorrhage near her skull. She suffered multiple tears to her anus, a massive laceration to her rectum, with massive hematoma in the pelvis area. The cause of death however, were the injuries to her anus and rectum, even before the strangulation took place.

Police dog jumps 8 feet, disarms drunk man brandishing an ax, spits the ax out, detains the suspect

Adrian Dowdall, was in a drunken state as he brandished an ax  and threatened to hurt a police dog. Rossi, the police dog jumped 8 feet and grabbed the ax from the man, then dropped the ax and held his arm to stop him from escaping. 

Rossi is not trained to disarm attackers, however, his handler believes that he may have mistaken the ax for a toy. PC Matt Rogers said, 'When I deployed him I expected him to get hold of the man. He's not trained to disarm. He's just trained to go and detain him. I don't know what goes off sometimes in his head."

36 year-old Dowdall will be spending 160 days in jail. 


BBC reports:


"I identified myself as a police officer and challenged him to drop the axe."He made threats to harm the dog. He kept coming towards me and held it aloft in his right hand in a threatening manner."
PC Rogers then deployed Rossi.
The dog has leapt up, taken hold of the axe, spat the axe out and detained the male... got hold of him by his left arm," he said. "I've then joined him. We had a bit of a roll around on the floor, with me and the dog. He is resisting arrest, and eventually I've managed to handcuff him."

Video: UFO appears to deliberately enter a volcano in Mexico

A new video released captured what appears to be a UFO-type object which approached Mexico's Popocatepetl volcano, then it (whatever it is) slows down, turns and seemingly makes a deliberate move to enter the volcano crater. This video is among many in a series of alleged UFO sitings taking place near the central Mexico active volcano since late 2012.

   

HuffPost asked Dantonio, who creates special effects and is contracted by the U.S. Navy, Congress and the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington, to weigh in on this latest video.
