Doctors Couldn’t Stop Screaming When They Saw What This Woman Gave Birth To.

Image
When this woman went into labor, doctors couldn’t stop screaming when they saw what she gave birth to. Dr. Lewis was well-known among the hospital staff for his stoic nature. He’d been in active practice for over two decades and had witnessed a lot of heartbreaking medical cases.  To keep himself from backing out of his beloved profession, he’d learned to harden himself so that patients’ cases didn’t affect him too much. On this particular day, he was scheduled for a cesarian section. As with all of his previous surgeries, he had prepared adequately for it by studying the scans and reference materials. He didn’t believe that doing the same type of surgeries over and over made it easier. It was his principle that every case was different and should be treated as such.  Dr. Lewis thought he’d seen everything. He was a world-class specialist and was leading the surgery involving the birth of quadruplets. But when he saw what the woman gave birth to, he shouted in sheer astonishment. “Wha

UNIJOS student beaten to death by course mates over N30k bribe for grades

Image
A 300-level medical student of the University of Jos (Unijos), Abdulsalam Idris, has died after allegedly sustaining severe injuries following an assault by a group allegedly led by a fellow student identified as Fisal Dahiru Ibrahim. Unijos’ security unit confirmed the death, saying the corpse had been transferred to the Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH) for autopsy.   The acting Chief Security Officer of Unijos, Agama Solomon, said the suspect claimed to have given Abdulsalam N30,000 to bribe a technician for exam grades but that when the results were released and the suspect failed he reportedly orchestrated an attack that led to Abdulsalam’s death. He noted that the suspect had been apprehended and handed over to the police. It was learnt that the incident occurred shortly after both the victim and the suspect completed their final examination in the 300L The death of Abdulsalam sparked concerns among his peers, who believed that such a violent outcome was unjustified and th

Mother started having sex with her son, 12, when he came into her bed because he was sick - and made him feel 'important and special' as he was hitting puberty

Image
Children's teenage years are supposed to be full of learning and laughter but one man has spoken of the unimaginable abuse he received at the hands of the person he trusted most - his mother. 'Hamish' who is now in his 50s, was 12 years old when his childhood innocence was taken away from him by his mum. The woman who he described as 'mentally unwell' had sex with him one day when he was recovering from sickness. She had this big bedroom and if we were ever sick or anything like that we'd stay in her bed. One day she just initiated it, she just started touching me and it just went from there,' Hamish told news.com.au. 'She preyed on the fact I was coming into puberty and made me feel important and special.' Hamish thought he had it all growing up, he lived in a wealthy suburb and went to a private school but all that meant nothing behind closed doors. He suffered physical and mental abuse that has scarred him for life and was warned to not talk abou

This photo provided by Paris' Holocaust Memorial shows a German soldier shooting a Ukrainian Jew during a mass execution in Vinnytsia, Ukraine, sometime between 1941 and 1943.

Image
This image is titled "The last Jew in Vinnitsa", the text that was written on the back of the photograph, which was found in a photo album belonging to a German soldier The Vinnytsia massacre was a mass execution of (mostly ethnic Ukrainian) people in the Ukrainian town of Vinnytsia by the Soviet secret police NKVD during Joseph Stalin’s Great Purge in 1937–1938. Mass graves in Vinnytsia were discovered during the German occupation of Ukraine in 1943. The investigation of the site first conducted by the international Katyn Commission coincided with the discovery of a similar mass murder site of Polish prisoners of war in Katyn. Because the Germans utilized this evidence of Communist terror to discredit the Soviet Union internationally, it became one of the better researched sites of the politically motivated NKVD massacres among many in Ukraine. Much as in the case of other massacres of people considered enemies of the people by the communist regime of Russia, the victims bu

Mary Ashford and Barbara Forrest, both 20, spent their last hours alive dancing on May 27—but 157 years apart.

Image
In 1817, Ashford was spotted in the company of Abraham Thornton around midnight after attending a dance with her friend Hannah Cox. At 4am, Ashford showed up at Cox's house, where she'd left her work clothes, and said she'd been with Thornton, per the Lineup. Hours after she set off for home, her bruised body was found in a water-filled pit in the park by a laborer who followed two sets of footprints from a slick of blood in the grass, per the Birmingham Mail. Authorities believed Ashford was sexually assaulted and drowned, and Thornton was tried for her murder. Though he admitted having sex with Ashford before walking her to Cox's house, Thornton maintained he didn't kill her and was found not guilty after three witnesses backed up his alibi. Fast forward 157 years: Authorities say Barbara Forrest was raped and strangled on May 27, 1974, also in Pype Hayes Park. Forrest had been out dancing with her boyfriend until 1am, when he said he walked Forrest to a bus stop

A Mother Killed Her Baby To Escape A Horrible Predicament

Image
In February 1775, a Danish woman killed her four month old baby. When Authorities found her, she told them she would happily die for her crime. But why? Because at the time, a murder was more forgivable than suicide A woman slit the throat of her own baby. The crimes were part of a wave of suicide-murders in the 17th and 18th centuries - a wave that swept through much of Europe but was especially common in Denmark. Insane though it may sound, people used to commit murder just so they could get executed. They even researched what crimes incurred the death penalty to guarantee they would die. During that time in history, suicide was not only a crime - it also meant your soul would be condemned to Hell for eternity. Unlike people who committed public suicide, suicide-murderers were terrified of killing themselves - and so they committed capital crimes punishable by death. Unlike the suspicious suicides in history, these murderers were upfront about their crime and their motivation. One m

Human Experiments in North Korea

Image
Several North Korean defectors have described witnessing disturbing cases of human experimentation. In one alleged experiment, 50 healthy women prisoners were given poisoned cabbage leaves — all 50 women were dead within 20 minutes. Other described experiments include the practice of surgery on prisoners without anesthesia, purposeful starvation, beating prisoners over the head before using the zombie-like victims for target practice, and chambers in which whole families are murdered with suffocation gas.  It is said that each month, a black van known as “the crow” collects 40-50 people from a camp and takes them to an known location for experiments. Human experimentation in North Korea is an issue raised by some North Korean defectors and former prisoners. They have described suffocation of prisoners in gas chambers, testing deadly chemical weapons and surgery without anesthesia Lee described an experiment in which 50 healthy female prisoners were selected and given poisoned cabbage

Slavery was not “invented” by white people

Image
It did not start in 1619 when the first slaves came to Jamestown. It existed before then.  It did not start in 1492 when Columbus discovered the New World. In fact, when the intrepid explorer landed in the Bahamas, the native Taino tribe hoped he could help them defeat their aggressive neighbors, the Caribs.  The Caribs enslaved the Taino and, on occasion, served them for dinner. Slavery existed in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. The word “slave” actually comes from the Slavs of Eastern Europe. Millions of them — all white by the way — were captured and enslaved by Muslims in the ninth century and later by the Ottoman Turks. Slavery existed when the Roman Empire controlled the Mediterranean and most of Europe from the 1st through the 5th centuries. Slavery existed when Alexander the Great conquered Persia in the 4th century BC. It was so common that Aristotle simply considered it “natural.”  The slave/master model was just how the world operated in the great philosopher’s day.  Slav

The corpse of Madame Debeinche, who was murdered in her Paris apartment on May 5, 1903, lay completely motionless.

Image
Her photo is one of thousands snapped by Alphonse Bertillon, a police clerk in Paris who revolutionized detective work. Not only was Bertillon the first to photograph a crime scene, but he also streamlined the use of mugshots. By 1884, his groundbreaking new criminal codification method helped catch 241 repeat offenders in Paris. At first glance, the faded 1903 photograph of Mme Debeinche’s bedroom, bound in the yellowed pages of an early 20th-century album, shows what looks to be an unremarkable middle-class Parisian apartment of the time. The overstuffed room brims with floral decoration, from the wallpaper and heavy swag curtains to the carpeting, chair upholstery—even the chamber pot. A large reproduction of Alexandre Cabanel’s voluptuous 1863 painting, “Birth of Venus,” hangs on the wall. A sizeable unmade bed with a hefty carved-wood frame dominates the scene. But on closer look, there is something unnerving about the tableau. The Venus is crooked. A spindle chair lies on its si

Okuama: We held the Soldiers' Legs, Pleading, Next Thing Was Fire - Stranded Mother Recounts Ordeal

Image
Evelyn Edjekota, a 45-year-old mother of seven who was stranded inside a bush, described to reporters the circumstances surrounding the tragic event that resulted in the deaths of 17 Nigerian soldiers. The mother of seven reportedly disclosed this to Vanguard's journalists when they went to the forest, where she and a few other community members were stranded. She described how the troops invaded their village that fateful day and asked to meet the leader of the town while she was on her farm. She said the troops intended to take their leaders into custody without revealing their reasons. She said the troops opened fire on them as they tried to beg. She said that the troops' deaths were not the result of any involvement on the part of the Okuama villagers, adding that a group of attackers arrived on boats and opened fire on both the military and the locals, killing several. She asserted, "We told them that our chairman had gone to the farm, and two leaders called him from

Killing the Devil’: 52 years after murdering young men, Candy Man among Texas’ worst serial killers

Image
Jeffrey Konen was 18 years old when he disappeared from the Houston Heights area on Sept. 25, 1970. He had been hitchhiking from the University of Texas to his parent’s home in Houston. Three years later, his naked body was found buried at High Island Beach under a large boulder. His hands and feet were bound, and he was wrapped in plastic and covered in a layer of lime. He died of asphyxiation after a cloth was placed in his mouth, and he was manually strangled. Konen was the first known victim of the infamous Candy Man serial killer. This Candy Man didn’t have a hook for a hand and a swarm of bees at his disposal like in Bernard Rose’s 1992 horror classic with the same name. Instead, the real-life killer, named Dean Arnold Corll, was much more terrifying. Corll was given the nickname for being known as the “pleasant, smiling candy man of the Heights,” who would give candy to children who stopped by his family’s factory, the Corll Candy Co., according to Texas Monthly. From December

Roger Godfrin, the only survivor of a massacre during which Nazi troops locked 643 citizens (including 500 women and children) inside a church and set fire to it on June 10, 1944 in Oradour sur Glane, France.

Image
For centuries, what made the medieval village of Oradour special was its succulent freshwater crayfish. A delicacy for lovers of good cuisine, they could be found in the clear, sparkling waters of the River Glane as it ran through the wide pastures of the Limousin region in south-central France. This was a peaceful, pastoral village whose very name, Oradour, meant 'a place of prayer' in the local Occitan patois. Until one sunny Saturday afternoon in June 1944 when a regiment from the 'Das Reich' panzer division of the Waffen-SS surrounded it and, in scenes of unimaginable horror, ripped it and its inhabitants apart, leaving nothing but smoking ruins with whole generations wiped out. What happened to Oradour-sur-Glane that day 77 years ago — in a crime against humanity which can be fairly compared with the Holocaust in terms of its savagery — is graphically revived in a powerful new book, Silent Village, by British historian Robert Pike. In it, he goes behind the grim s
