Mississippi man used a similar tool to decapitate his mother.

On Wednesday, Terrelle Johnson, a 29-year-old Mississippi man, appeared in court to answer for the slaying of his 51-year-old mother. Johnson has been taken into custody on the 6^th of June after the law enforcement officers found the decapitated body of the man’s mother.

Mississippi Man Used Teeth and Butter Knife to Sever Woman’s Head

Captain Ray Boggs, a member of the Stone County Sheriff’s Office and one of the lawmen who testified during Johnson’s trial, declared that he had been contacted by Sherry Johnson’s family.

According to Captain Boggs, some of the woman’s family members contacted the Sheriff’s Office as the woman had not been seen for several days. More than that, each time they’ve attempted to ring Johnson’s cell, Terrelle, her son, would answer, telling them that the woman was on a cruise.

On the 6^th of June, Boggs and several deputies went to Johnson’s house to inquire about Sherry’s. Allegedly, when Boggs and the lawmen approached Johnson’s home, the man went outside to tell them that his mother’s fine.

Unconvinced, Boggs insisted on entering the house to see for himself. According to Captain Boggs’ testimony, upon entering the home, he saw blood stains on the walls and floor. The search led them to the woman’s bedroom, where Boggs found a significant amount of blood on the floor.

After being confronted, the man confessed to murdering his mother and dragging her body to the backyard. Sheryll’s decapitated body was found dumped in the yard. Her head was roughly 15 feet away from the body.

Conclusion

During questioning, the Mississippi man told the authorities that he killed his mother during an argument over credit cards. He said that after that, things got out of control.

The coroner report indicates that the man used a butter knife, his teeth, and bare hands to behead his mother.

Bethesda Teases Doom Eternal Trailer During E3

June 11, 2018 By Carol Harper

Bethesda announces Doom Eternal during E3 2018.

During E3, Bethesda announced that a new Doom game would soon hit PCs and consoles. Called Doom Eternal, Bethesda’s upcoming Doom sequel will pick up the story where the last game left it. Here’s everything you’ll need to know about the game. A word of warning – this article contains a couple of spoilers.

Doom Eternal to Feature a War-Torn Earth

Because nothing beats a couple of rounds in Doom after a hard day at the office, Bethesda announces that new Doom game is on the way.

Unfortunately, all we know so far is that game’s called Doom Eternal and, based on Bethesda’s E3 teaser trailer; it will probably take place on Earth or possibly on a human colony.

As you know, the last Doom ended with Samuel Hayden’s betrayal and his promise of releasing the faceless space marine when the time is right.

Despite Hayden’s blatantly G-Man-like demeanor, Bethesda’s ending hinted that the Doom guy’s story is far from over. Still, given the fact that all four Doom games plus the countless mods and fan-made stuff, were all happening on Mars, it’s reasonable to assume that Bethesda’s been compelled to choose an entirely different setting.

Now, based on the teaser trailer, the plot appears to place in a war-torn, Earth-like world. Again, we don’t know for sure if that’s really our planet, but it does appear to be a human settlement.

From what we can tell, Hayden’s plans to contain the big boss of Hell failed, meaning that demons are running amok. This shouldn’t come as a surprise given that UAC’s top cat was Hell-bent on siphoning energy from the other side, regardless of costs.

Conclusion

And now comes the $1 million question – how did Doom guy escape Hayden’s cage? Well, as always, we will have to stick around to find out.

California Man Sentenced to Death for Torturing Child, Making Him Eat Cat Feces

June 8, 2018 By Carol Harper

The California man was sentenced to death for the 2013 murder of his girlfriend’s son.

On Thursday, a California court found Isauro Aguirre guilty of torturing his girlfriend’s son to death. The man was sentenced to death. Pearl Fernandez, Aguirre’s girlfriend, received life in prison without parole sentence. More charges will follow, authorities declared.

California Man Forced Child to Sleep While Tied and Gagged

George Lomeli, the Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge, declared during Aguirre’s sentencing that what he and Fernandez did to 8-year-old Gabriel Fernandez was “evil” and “beyond animalistic.”

According to court documents, on the 22^nd of May 2013, Pearl Fernandez called 911 to report that Gabriel, her son, lost consciousness and was no longer breathing.

An ambulance took Gabriel to the hospital. He would pass away two days later. The coroner determined that the 8-year-old boy died due to blunt trauma to the head.

Fernandez and Aguirre initially told the authorities that the boy lost consciousness after hitting his head against a kitchen counter. However, the homicide detectives managed to uncover the painful truth.

According to the authorities, Aguirre’s obsession with Gabriel’s sexual orientation fueled his homicidal leanings. Gabriel’s siblings told the authorities that the California man and his mother would often force him to go to school dressed like a girl.

Because Aguirre thought that Pearl’s was gay, he beat him, shot him with BB gun pellets, and would, at times, force him to eat cat feces. Moreover, as the prosecution noted, Gabriel would be bound and gagged at night and forced to sleep in a small closet.

When he was brought to the hospital, Gabriel had several broken ribs, scorch marks, and a skull fracture.

Conclusion

Superior Court Judge Lomeli announced after Aguirre’s sentencing that Patricia Clement and Stephanie Rodriguez, the social workers in charge of Gabriel, could also face legal consequences.

Valve Criticized for Marketing a School Shooting Simulator

May 29, 2018 By Carol Harper

Valve Corporation recently came under fire after news of an upcoming school shooting simulator was released. Several concerned parents, some of whom lost their children in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre, said that the game “desensitizes” teenagers to such tragedies.

School Shooting Simulator Accompanied by Disclaimer

The upcoming title is called “Active Shooter” and, according to developer Revived Games, it’s a SWAT-type simulator.

Players will be able to take sides – SWAT or shooter. Based on the player’s choice, he or she will either have to deal with an active shooter or rake up as much kills as possible before being taken into custody.

Disturbingly enough, when the players take the role of the shooter, they will need to plan their massacre in order to kill as many students or teachers before the SWAT team moves in.

Obviously, when news of Revived Games’ school shooting simulator hit the press, many have voiced their concern, accusing the developer and publisher of capitalizing on a tragedy such as Marjory Stoneman High School.

Acid, the game’s publisher, recently wrote in a blog post that “Active Shooter” does not promote violence and that the game shouldn’t be taken seriously.

More than that, the game’s Steam description is followed by a footnote which encourages players to seek professional help they feel like hurting people.

Acid added that given the game’s controversial side, it will think about removing the shooter part.

Conclusion

The school shooting simulator was slated for launch on June the 6^th. However, given its negative impact, the publisher might be thinking about moving the launch date or canceling the game altogether.

Andrew Pollack, the father of Meadow Pollack, who was gunned down by Nikolas Cruz on the 14^th of February, declared that Steam should really think twice before making the game available.

May 24, 2018 By Carol Harper

Foxborough electrician used pen-like cameras to spy on adults.

Law Enforcement Officers recently arrested a 48-year-old Foxborough electrician after a day center employee discovered a camera hidden inside an adult toilet. The suspect was released the same day after posting bail.

Foxborough Electrician Installed Surveillance Devices in Every Adult Bathroom

On Friday, at around 2:11 p.m., a Learning Center employee called the authorities after discovering a suspicious object in one of the bathrooms.

Upon arrival, Foxborough law enforcement officers removed a pen-like device, which was carefully placed in a corner.

After inspecting the device, police officers determined that it was a surveillance device.

A sweep of the building revealed more device, each placed strategically in the adult-only bathrooms.

Several hours later, the authorities arrested Darin McNeil, a 48-year-old Taunton electrician.

Foxborough Police positively identified McNeil as the person who installed the camera since several devices were found on him.

As a result, the electrician was charged with sexual surveillance, possessing a device for wiretap, and unlawful wiretap.

McNeil was released from prison later that day after he posted his $2,500. In addition, the Foxborough electrician was ordered to stay away from children and staff members.

During his questioning, McNeil confessed to having installed the devices in the adult-only bathrooms but didn’t say why.

After the incident, Foxborough Police Department commended Learning Center’s staff.

According to the statement, the employee who called the authorities after finding the devices belongs to the “see something, say something” species.

Conclusion

As far as the authorities could tell, there were no more wiretapping devices in the day-care center.

The suspect was released after posting bail because he doesn’t pose a threat.

The Foxborough day-care center incident is hardly isolated.

At the beginning of May, a Toronto Starbucks customer alerted the authorities after she discovered a hidden wiretapping device in the women’s restroom.

Tired of swiping and typing on your smartphone’s screen? If so, you’ll get along splendidly with Red Hydrogen One, the world’s first holographic smartphone. Slated for launch in Q1 2018, the phone will be able to recognize hand gestures as well as capture 3D images.

Red Hydrogen One To Be Used With AR Glasses

The upcoming Red Hydrogen One is the brainchild of carriers Verizon and AT&T, as well as Red, a video equipment startup.

According to the smartphone’s presentation website, Red Hydrogen One is or at least expected to be the one who puts Android out of commission.

Unfortunately, the phone makers were a little vague about specifications and features. However, as far as we can tell, the upcoming smartphone relies mostly on pre-programmed hand gestures and proximity sensors.

There are a couple of hands-on videos that show some of the things you can do with the phone. In one clip, a guy shows how the phone plays with your depth perception.

It’s still a turn-off to see that most of the phone’s features have been intentionally blurred out, but, then again, they do enjoy a mystery.

Spec-wise, Red Hydrogen One should be outfitted with the latest in cameras and sensors. We should probably look forward to an 8GB RAM, as the phone needs a lot of juice for the applications.

As for the hologram part, according to Red, the smartphone will be capable of ‘projecting’ interactive images. We don’t know for sure if they’re referring to actual hovering holograms, like in Star Wars or if the phone’s screen will only give you the impression of 3D.

Conclusion

The Red Hydrogen Oneis expected to come out at the end of summer. As far as pricing goes, users will be able to preorder their gizmos from the official website.

There are two models available: aluminum for $1,295 or titanium for $1,595.

Phone Scammer Gets Conned by Cop Working the Case

May 15, 2018 By Carol Harper

The phone scammer told his ‘victim’ that he won an expensive car and a fat cheque.

A phone scammer, who managed to swindle $1,000 in the past couple of weeks, had quite the shock of his life when he got cornered by a police officer. The cop in question told the press that the suspect quickly hung up the phone when he realized who’s he talking to.

Phone Scammer Said He’s with the Ed McMahon Show

Jeff Bowling, a Pebble Police Department officer, recalls how a phone scammer tried to trick him into disclosing personal info.

By coincidence, Officer Bowling was working that case when he received a mysterious phone call. The man on the other end of the line, calling on behalf of Publisher’s Clearing House, congratulated him on winning.

He also informed Office Bowling that a brand-new Mercedes Benz and a $950,000 cheque are waiting for him.

The police officer asked the phone scammer if he’s aware of the fact that Ed McMahon, the host of the show, was dead for almost a decade.

He calmly replied that he knew about McMahon and calmly asked for an ID or driver’s license. Office Bowling asked him if his police ID would do.

The phone scammer seemed surprised that his victim was a cop but continued his line of inquiry.

Conclusion

Before hanging up the phone, he asked Bowling when he’ll be home. Jestingly, the Pebble law enforcement agent replied that he’d got nothing better to do than to sit in the station, working the case.

Although Bowling was mildly amused by the phone encounter, he declared that the individual already conned several people over the past couple of weeks.

The officer warned the resident about the phone scammers, asking them not to disclose personal info. As for the perpetrator, according to Bowling, he usually sticks with the same MO – calling on behalf of Ed McMahon’s show to offer expensive vehicles and money.

While the cashier was helping another client, the individual, dubbed the Red Bull Bandit by the local police department, casually exists the store with his plunder.

Probably the most amusing part of the story is that the individual kept yawning throughout his entire performance. It would appear that being a criminal is indeed tiring.

Following the incident, the Burlington Police Department released the security footage and several pixeled shots of the suspect’s face.
