Ronald Pritchett, 32, of Purvis, Mississippi, faces charges of second-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder and auto theft in the New Orleans suburb of Jefferson Parish, said Col. John Fortunato, spokesman for the sheriff there. Authorities say a man faces charges in Louisiana accusing him of killing his father and stabbing his mother because they ordered fast food and didn’t get any for him. Fortunato said in a news release that Pritchett became enraged about food. Asked by email for more details, he replied, “They ordered food from a fast food restaurant and didn’t include him.” Pritchett was arrested Thursday at a relative’s home near the town of Purvis, Mississippi, and waived extradition to Louisiana, Lamar County Sheriff Danny Rigel said.

Branko Bogdanov: Prosecutors said over the past 10 years, the Northbrook family -- together with a cooperating individual who acted as its fence -- sold merchandise with a retail value of $7.1 million for a total of $4.2 million through their eBay accounts. The Bogdanovs were arrested Tuesday afternoon at their upscale, five-bedroom $1.4 million home on Weller Lane. Authorities seized the black dress, the charges alleged. During brief court appearances on a charge of interstate transportation of stolen property, federal prosecutors said they were seeking to detain all three as flight risks. The family is originally from the former Yugoslavia, and it was unclear if any of them are U.S. citizens. One Barnes & Noble security officer at a store outside Baltimore told agents she grappled with the family after she witnessed the mother put several American Girl dolls up her dress. The detective said Lela Bogdanov shoved her while her husband “began to grab the hood of her jacket, choking her,” according to the charges. The Bogdanov family, identified later by the detective in a photo array, fled in a gray mini-van. (CPD Photo)

"Sister" Amy Duggan Archer-Gilligan (1901-1914) ran a private nursing home in Windsor, Connecticut, and married and killed 5 elderly men. She also convinced 9 elderly women to name her in their wills before poisoning them too. That last victim's family demanded an autopsy which showed clear signs of poisoning, and Amy spent the rest of her life in prison. The authorities found a total of 48 deaths in her nursing home, the "Archer Home for the Elderly and Infirm." – Wikipedia

Known as the "accountant of Auschwitz," Oskar Gröning, 93, is accused of working as a guard at the camp between May and June 1944, during which some 425,000 people passed through the death camp's doors, and accused and found guilty of accessory to murder. Gröning, who was responsible for handling the personal possessions and money of the camp's hundreds of thousands of victims, went on to testify that he believed the possessions and money he took from the incoming Jews no longer belonged to them, but instead were property of the state. "They didn't need it anymore," he said. The remark drew gasps from the audience, many of whom were Holocaust survivors or relatives of survivors. (Photo NBC news)

Gregory Collins (AP photo) A white man has been arrested after a black man was shot to death and then his body dragged for 10 miles along an American road. The body of 30-year-old Anthony Hill was found yesterday morning in central South Carolina. Police followed a trail of blood to the mobile home of Gregory Collins, 19. They demanded he come out - but he refused. After a three-hour stand-off, police forced him out by using tear gas. He was wearing an empty gun holster. Sheriff Lee Foster, who has been in law enforcement for 35 years, told a local news conference it was 'one of the top three most violent crime scenes he's ever seen'. Police believe Hill was killed at Collins' mobile home with a shot to the head, and then his body dragged behind a pickup truck. 'That is the part that's absolutely senseless,' Sheriff Foster said. 'Why would somebody do that to a person after they were dead?' Police said the killing is being investigated as a hate crime. So far they have been unable to find a motive. Hill and Collins worked together at the Louis Rich turkey factory in Newberry, South Carolina. Collins has been charged with murder.

Myra Hindley and Ian Brady carried out the ‘Moors murders’ between July 1963 and October 1965, in and around what is now Greater Manchester, England. The victims were five children aged between 10 and 17—Pauline Reade, John Kilbride, Keith Bennett, Lesley Ann Downey and Edward Evans—at least four of whom were sexually assaulted. The murders are so named because two of the victims were discovered in graves dug on Saddleworth Moor; a third grave was discovered on the moor in 1987, more than 20 years after Brady and Hindley's trial in 1966. The body of a fourth victim, Keith Bennett, is also suspected to be buried there, but despite repeated searches it remains undiscovered. - Wikipedia

Police have identified the man arrested Friday for causing a SWAT standoff by barricading himself in a car in the area of Ridgedale Avenue and Lamb Boulevard. Mitereo Ramirez, 29, of Las Vegas, is currently in isolation at Clark County Detention Center. He faces charges of attempted murder of a police officer, assault with a deadly weapon, discharging a firearm from a vehicle and resisting a police officer with a firearm. Police said the incident started just after 7 a.m. Friday when they received a call from a person who reported he found an unknown man sleeping inside his vehicle. When police arrived, the man refused to get out of the car. After a SWAT team arrived in an attempt to get the man to surrender peacefully, he fired several shots from inside the vehicle. No one was struck. At about 11:30 a.m., SWAT pumped gas into the vehicle and the man finally exited the car armed with a handgun. Ramirez then dropped the gun and tried to flee by jumping over a wall. Officers and K-9 units took him into custody following a short struggle. Ramirez received minor injuries. (Photo LVMPD)

Ronell Wilson (Mugshot NYPD) from NYT. Prosecutors alleged Wilson was the leader of a violent drug gang called the Stapleton Crew (witnesses at the trial denied using that label) that originated in the Stapleton Projects on Staten Island. He was convicted for murdering NYPD Detectives James Nemorin and Rodney Andrews in a gun sale, then searching their bodies and stealing their car. Wilson later bragged to his fellow gang members, “I popped them,” and dumped the bodies in the middle of a Staten Island street. His first sentence of death was overturned because of a procedural error. Wilson was retried and sentenced to death a second time in 2013. Federal Judge Nicholas Garaufis in Brooklyn, NY subsequently decided that Wilson cannot be executed because he meets the legal definition of mental retardation. The judge issued a 76-page decision, in which he wrote: “In reaching this decision, the court in no way minimizes or even excuses the cruelty and depravity of Wilson’s actions. Having presided over this tragic case for more than a decade, the court quite frankly finds it impossible to muster any sense of sympathy for this defendant. The court also recognizes with great sadness the pain that this decision is likely to cause for the families of James Nemorin and Rodney Andrews. Regardless of one’s views on the death penalty, these families have suffered enough.”

Bobby Joe Rogers, 41, has been arrested on a federal charge of damaging a building by fire or explosive. He is accused of setting fire to the American Family Planning clinic, 6770 N. Ninth Ave., on Sunday. Investigators from a federal joint terrorism task force and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) have joined the investigation headed by the Florida state fire marshal. Bobby Joe Rogers explained to investigators that he has a “strong disbelief in abortion,” according to the affidavit, frequently drank alcohol and supported the almost daily anti-abortion protests at the clinic. He said that disbelief was further fueled when he was at the clinic with anti-abortion protesters recently and saw a young woman go into the facility, according to the affidavit. He claims to have been inspired by the “Army of God” a Christian terrorist organization that has engaged in the use of anti-abortion violence in the United States to fight against abortion.

This is the face of the tattooed monster who kidnapped, tortured and forced another man to commit depraved sex acts in a “barbaric” nine hour attack. Daniel Misiolek was today jailed for life after admitting a string of offences that saw his victim subjected to horrific humiliation and self-degradation.

Two women - including Misiolek’s fiance, who filmed part of the terror - were also locked up for their part in the horror. Heavy set thug Misiolek, whose face is inked with handcuffs, teardrops and the gangster motto “thug life”, sat in silence as his crimes were read out in court. Kenneth Grant, prosecuting, detailed the shocking list of offences the 41-year-old had admitted at Liverpool crown court . They included kidnapping, false imprisonment, rape and five counts that saw the victim forced to insert objects - including a sex toy, a broom handle and a toilet brush - into his bottom.

The question haunting a family and a state for nearly 27 years — what happened to Jacob Wetterling — was solved Tuesday when his murderer stood in federal court and recounted in horrific detail how he kidnapped the sandy-haired boy on a dead-end rural road, drove him into the dark countryside and sexually assaulted, then executed him. .

“What did I do wrong?” Jacob asked his kidnapper, Danny Heinrich, after Heinrich snatched the boy at gunpoint and sent Jacob’s little brother and best friend running away scared. The answers came after federal prosecutors cut a deal with Heinrich, who after years of denying involvement in Wetterling’s disappearance led authorities to the boy’s shallow grave in a rural pasture outside the central Minnesota town of Paynesville, some 30 miles from the site of the abduction that brought excruciating pain to the Wetterling family and nightmares to parents across the state.

Heinrich, 53, pleaded guilty to one count of receiving child pornography, a crime for which he is expected to spend 20 years behind bars. Though he will not be prosecuted for Jacob’s kidnapping and murder, Heinrich could remain in state custody under Minnesota’s civil sex offender commitment. The unusual deal was struck, officials said, with the approval of Patty and Jerry Wetterling, who have advocated nationally for missing and exploited children while keeping hope that somehow their son would be found alive.

Five new murder charges were filed Monday against a man suspected of killing seven women in Gary. Darren Deon Vann, 44, already charged with murder in the deaths of Afrikka Hardy, 19, of Chicago, and Anika Jones, 35, of Merrillville, now faces the death penalty in the deaths of five other women. According to police, Vann referred to the seven women he is charged with killing as "mistakes" and talked about his rage before he strangled Hardy, whose body was discovered in a bathtub on Oct. 17, 2014, at a Motel 6 in Hammond. Vann agreed to lead detectives to the abandoned houses where he left the women's bodies, but wanted assurances that he would be put to death for the killings, police said. All of the women had been identified as prostitutes in court records.

Matilda 'Tilly' Devine used a razor to slash a man's face in a barber's shop and was sentenced to two years gaol. She was Sydney's best-known brothel madam and her public quarrels with sly-grog queen Kate Leigh provided the media with an abundance of material. Aged 25.

After handguns were criminalised in New South Wales, razors became the weapon of choice amongst Sydney gangsters. Shortly after the Pistol Licensing Act 1927 was passed, a visiting sailor used a cutthroat razor to defend himself from attackers.[6] As a result, razors became a default weapon due to its ease of purchase from barbers shops for a few pence, its ease of concealment (hidden inside a piece of cork), and its use as an instrument of intimidation and threatened or actual mutilation, physical impairment or murder against one's adversaries, prey or hostile spouses.[7] It has been estimated that there were over five hundred slashings within Sydney during the heyday of intensive razor gang criminal activity[8] Macquarie Street's Sydney Hospital and St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney in Darlinghurst treated many of these casualties of gangland hostilities.

Members of the New South Wales Police and several New South Wales politicians also had connections to the gangs. The two major razor gangs were associated with prominent madams, Kate Leigh (Queen of Surry Hills) and Tilly Devine; (Queen of Darlinghurst and Woolloomooloo).[9] these two gangs began open warfare in 1929, culminating in two riots. One was known as the "Battle of Blood Alley" and was waged in Eaton Avenue, King's Cross. It occurred because drug distributors discovered that Phil Jeffs (1896–1945), another ganglord, was adulterating his cocaine supplies with boracic acid. It occurred on May 7, 1929.[10] Later that year, on August 8, 1929, the Battle of Kellett Street was waged between rival gangs affiliated to Kate Leigh and Tilly Devine and occurred in Kellett Street, near King's Cross. Considerable amounts of bootleg alcohol and cocaine were consumed beforehand, leading to thrown bottles, physical assaults, firearm exchanges and razor attacks.[11]

Tom Clements was shot dead at his home in Monument, Colorado after answering the door on March 19, 2013. The substantial evidence in the case indicates that the assassin was Evan Spencer Ebel, a 28-year-old white supremacist and follower of Asatru.[5][6] Suspicion has also fallen on members of the 211 Crew, a white supremacist gang formed in Colorado's prisons in the mid-1990s.[13] The only formal suspect authorities have named in his death, Ebel, is thought to have had connections with the 211 Crew.

Ebel was killed during a high-speed chase with Texas law enforcement two days after Clements' death. Ebel had driven to Wise County, Texas. A Texas sheriff's deputy recognized that the car Ebel was driving matched the car suspected in the Clements killing in Colorado—an older black Cadillac sedan, with mismatched license plates. That Texas deputy who first pulled over Ebel's vehicle (James Boyd) was shot in the head by Ebel but survived. The shooting was captured on the deputy's cruiser's video. After a wild chase, and after engaging law enforcement with gunfire, he collided with a semi-truck carrying a large payload of gravel, and died from his injuries without regaining consciousness.

Evan Ebel had spent much of his time in prison in solitary confinement.[11] Tom Clements' successor, Rick Raemisch, has said "Whatever solitary confinement did to that former inmate and murderer, it was not for the better."[12]

The 22-year-old armoured car security guard who killed three of his colleagues was sentenced to life in prison with no eligibility for parole for 40 years, the harshest penalty issued by a Canadian court since the abolition of the death penalty.

Baumgartner was cash-strapped and deeply indebted when he robbed his company’s armoured truck and then shot all four of his colleagues at point blank range in June 2012. On the night of the murders, the armoured truck was in the midst of its rounds when it drove onto the University of Alberta campus. Baumgartner entered the HUB mall with three of his colleagues, Matthew Schuman, 25, Brian Ilesic, 35, and newlywed Michelle Shegelski. A fifth guard, Edgardo Rejano, stayed behind with the truck as the rest of the crew entered a locked vestibule to refill the cash machine.

When his three colleagues turned their backs to him, Baumgartner took out his company-issued .38 revolver and shot all three in the head. He left the vestibule, which locked automatically behind him, leaving a severely injured Mr. Schuman trapped inside and screaming for help. Baumgartner then went to the truck and shot Mr. Rejano multiple times. He was 39 and a father of three who had been working for the company for six months.

Judge Rooke said Baumgartner stole more than $400,000, leaving some behind for his friends and mother before fleeing across the B.C. border and then down to the U.S. He was caught by border guards just south of Langley, B.C., several days later with $333,000 in a bag. All but $1,400 has since been recovered.

Judge Rooke pointed out that not only was the crime cowardly, it was also a breach of trust: his colleagues expected him to “have their backs.” The judge also noted that aside from a letter to the victims’ families that was apparently never sent, Baumgartner showed little remorse. Throughout the sentencing hearing he leaned forward, eyes drooped, seemingly uninterested in the proceedings. He wore an ill-fitting black suit and a white shirt with no tie.

Mr. Rejano’s two young boys were present, the youngest hid his face in his widowed mother’s neck as the victim’s brother, Joe Rejano, spoke. “It’s the system. Some call it justice. Sure, justice. My way of justice is back in the old days. You hang him. That’s justice for what he did.”

What began with investigators chasing box loads of counterfeit jerseys and baseball caps ended in one of the most perplexing seizures of weapons in Ohio: Authorities in December nabbed 18 guns that included assault rifles, more than 40,000 rounds of ammunition and body armor from Schmidt, a felon who killed a man and wounded two other people in 1989.

Investigators also found possible links to white supremacist groups. He had a VHS tape of a national meeting of the National Socialist Movement and stickers from the National Alliance, according to an inventory of seized items filed in U.S. District Court in Toledo. Agents also obtained notes with the names of Jewish and NAACP leaders in Detroit. One page had the name of Scott Kaufman, the chief executive officer of the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit. He said he was stunned when federal agents showed up at his office.

"For a convicted violent felon to amass an arsenal with 40,000 rounds of ammunition with no red flags popping up is problematic,'' Kaufman said. "No matter where you stand on the gun issue, it makes you wonder. The moment I saw my name in this guy's notebook, I freaked out.'' Under federal law, felons cannot possess weapons. "I can't tell you how he got all those guns and ammunition,'' said U.S. Attorney Steven Dettelbach. "It's not that I won't tell you; it's that I can't. This is somebody who should never have had one gun, one bullet. But he had an entire arsenal.''

On Aug. 21, 1989, Schmidt and a friend left a bar and began arguing with three people. Anthony Torres, 20, grabbed a baseball bat; Schmidt grabbed a 9 mm semiautomatic, according to state parole records and published reports. The parole records show the men faced off, and Schmidt fired three shots into Torres' chest, killing him. Schmidt fired more shots, striking two friends of Torres in the legs, the parole records show. He was convicted of manslaughter and felonious assault, and he served 13 years in prison.

Schmidt returned to Toledo in 2003 after getting out of prison. State incorporation records show he soon formed a nonprofit, the Vinland Preservation League, designed to push environmental and historical conservation and preservation. The name of the nonprofit suggests more about Schmidt. In 2005, the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups, made note of a profile on yahoo.com involving a Rick Schmidt from Toledo, who went by vinlander101. Photos from the profile match Schmidt. The law center lists the Vinlanders Social Club as a rogue group that "had a reputation for drinking, brawling and following a racist version of Odinism, a form of ancient paganism practiced by Vikings."

Schmidt, 48, pleaded guilty to federal gun and counterfeiting charges in July. When he is sentenced in October, prosecutors are expected to push for a sentence of several years in prison. His attorney, however, said Schmidt is neither a radical nor a monster, but a survivalist.

Dylan Roof

Earlier on Tuesday, Roof had told the court he was not sure “what good it would do” to ask jurors for life in prison instead of execution, showing no remorse for the massacre. When the verdict was read, Roof stood stoic and showed no emotion. He will be formally sentenced Wednesday.

In his final argument to jurors, Roof, a 22-year-old white man, said he felt he had to carry out the slayings on 17 June 2015. “I still feel like I had to do it,” Roof said. Holding on to his racist beliefs, he said: “Anyone who hates anything in their mind has a good reason for it.”

Prosecutors said Roof deserved execution because he went to the historic Emanuel AME church in Charleston, South Carolina, with a gun and a “hateful heart”. Assistant US attorney Jay Richardson said the 12 people Roof targeted were God-fearing church members who opened the door for a white stranger with a smile. Three people survived.

“They welcomed a 13th person that night … with a kind word, a Bible, a handout and a chair,” Richardson said during his closing argument. “He had come with a hateful heart and a Glock .45.”

Richardson reminded jurors about each one of the victims and the bloody crime scene that Roof left behind in the church’s lower level. Roof sat with the Bible study group for about 45 minutes, and during the final prayer – when everyone’s eyes were closed – he started firing. He stood over some of the fallen victims, shooting them again as they lay on the floor, the prosecutor said. Roof did not explain his actions to jurors, but in his FBI confession he said he hoped to bring back segregation or start a race war. - The Guardian

Frazier Glenn Miller, Jr. is a former leader of the defunct North Carolina-based White Patriot Party (formerly known as the Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan). Convicted of murder as well as criminal charges related to weapons, and the violation of an injunction against paramilitary activity, he has been a perennial candidate for public office. He is an advocate of white nationalism, white separatism, neo-paganism and a proponent of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.

On April 13, 2014, Miller was arrested following the Overland Park Jewish Community Center shooting in Overland Park, Kansas. A 14-year-old boy, Reat Griffin Underwood, and his 69-year-old grandfather, physician Dr. William Lewis Corporon, were killed at the Jewish Community Center. Both were Christians and attendants at the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection in Leawood. A 53-year-old woman, Terri LaManno, who was an occupational therapist in Kansas City, was killed at the parking lot of Village Shalom, where her mother resided. LaManno was also a Christian who attended St. Peter's Catholic Church in Kansas City, Missouri. Initial reports indicated a fourth person who was shot and wounded, but it was later confirmed that all of the people who suffered gunshot wounds were killed. Including the people shot at but escaping uninjured, only one person targeted by gunfire was Jewish.

On August 31, 2015, Miller was found guilty in the Overland Park shooting of one count of capital murder, three counts of attempted murder and assault and weapons charges.

A one-and-a-half year-old Palestinian infant was burned to death and three of his family members were seriously wounded early Friday morning after a house was set on fire in the West Bank village of Douma, near Nablus.

According to witnesses, at roughly 4 A.M. Friday morning, two masked men arrived at two homes in the village of Douma, not far from the settlement of Migdalim. They sprayed painted graffiti reading "revenge" and "long live the Messiah" in Hebrew, breaking the windows of the homes and throwing two firebombs inside.

One of the two homes was empty at the time, but there was a family in the second: 18-month-old Ali Saad Dawabsheh, his father Sa'ad, mother Reham, and 4-year-old Ahmed. The four were evacuated to a hospital in Nablus in the West Bank and then to the burns unit at Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer. The Israel Defense Forces subsequently confirmed that 18-month-old Ali died in the attack, and that Jewish extremists are suspected to be behind the attack.

"This attack against Palestinian civilians is a barbaric act of terrorism," IDF Spokesperson Lt. Col. Peter Lerner tweeted soon after the attack. Forces combed the area in an attempt to find the perpetrators.

According to eyewitnesses, the father was able to rescue his wife and 4-year-old son, but could not locate the baby, Ali, in the darkness. According to the Shin Bet security agency, 23-year-old Meir Ettinger was arrested late Monday for "involvement in an extremist Jewish organization."

Anders Behring Breivik

SKIEN, NORWAY—Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik made a Nazi salute as he walked into a courtroom at a high-security prison where judges on Tuesday began reviewing a ruling that his solitary confinement is inhumane.

The 37-year-old right-wing extremist, who killed 77 people in a bomb and shooting rampage in 2011, sued the government last year. He argued that his solitary confinement, frequent strip searches and the fact that he was often handcuffed during the early part of his incarceration violated his human rights. But lawyers representing the government said that he enjoys better prison conditions than some inmates in Norway. They also warned that he remains a threat and should continue to be held in solitary confinement.

Breivik was convicted of mass murder and terrorism in 2012 and given a 21-year prison sentence that can be extended for as long as he’s deemed dangerous to society. Legal experts say he will likely be locked up for life.

He is being held in isolation in a three-cell complex where he can play video games, watch TV and exercise. He has also complained about the quality of the prison food, having to eat with plastic utensils and not being able to communicate with sympathizers. The government has rejected his complaints, saying he is treated humanely despite the severity of his crimes and that he must be separated from other inmates for safety reasons.

Breivik had carefully planned the attacks on July 22, 2011. He set off a car bomb outside the government headquarters in Oslo, killing eight people and wounding dozens. Dressed in a police uniform, Breivik then drove to the island of Utoya, about 40 kilometres away, where he opened fire on the annual summer camp of the left-wing Labour party’s youth wing. Sixty-nine people there were killed, most of them teenagers, before he surrendered to police.

At the time of the attacks, Breivik claimed to be the commander of a secret Christian military order plotting an anti-Muslim revolution in Europe, but now describes himself as a traditional neo-Nazi who prays to the Viking god Odin. He also made a Nazi salute to journalists at the start of his human rights case last year.
