Airbnb host admits killing guest over unpaid bill

By 719 0

An Airbnb host in Australia has admitted manslaughter of a guest at his home near Melbourne. Jason Colton (42) denies murder, but has pleaded guilty for killing Ramis Jonuzi, who couldn’t afford to pay for his room in an Airbnb property. The incident happened over an unpaid bill worth £112. The case was handled by Victoria state Supreme Court.

Colton admits the manslaughter of Mr Jonuzi in 2017, but denies the murder. He said that he did not intended to cause any harm to Jonuzi, but just wanted him to pass out. He added that he never wanted him to be killed or seriously injured. Mr Jonuzi had been subletting a room in Melbourne from Colton, who was also a tenant in the same home.

Mr Jonuzi was a bricklayer, who had rented the room in Brighton East since he wanted an affordable and stable place to stay while he dealt with some “personal issues”, reported ‘The Age’, an Australian daily.

The room was rented to three men named Colton, landlord Craig Levy and flatmate Ryan Smart at first, for three nights, but then asked to extend his stay for a week for A$210. But at the check-out day, he had less than A$10 in his account and was therefore unable to pay.

Philippine police found 1,500 duct-taped turtles

By 817 0

The Philippine police have found more than 1500 turtles, duct-taped in luggage, at Manila airport (BBC reports). The wrapped turtles were found in four pieces of luggage which were unclaimed. The turtles were packed into boxes and then placed inside boxes.

The police are assuming that the bags were abandoned by the carrier when he found that harsh penalties would be given for illegal wildlife trafficking. The punishment includes two years prison and a fine of about 200,000 pesos. The Bureau of Customs said the turtles were abandoned by a Filipino passenger who was onboard a Philippine Airlines flight from Hong Kong.

The turtles are handed over to Wildlife Traffic Monitoring Unit. The turtle meat is very costly as it is a form of traditional medicine. The seized turtles valued more than 4.5 million pesos (£60,000; $86,631).

Theresa May given three tests for EU deal, by Brexit supporters

By 760 0

Some Brexit-supporting lawmakers have given UK PM Theresa May three tests for the EU deal, reuters reports says. These supporting lawmakers had rejected May’s European Union exit deal in January.

Theresa May is seeking assurances on the backstop arrangement which are intended to prevent a return to hard border controls between EU member Ireland and British-ruled Northern Ireland.

Concerns over the backstop leads to reject May’s deal in January, with critics saying it could leave the country tied to EU rules indefinitely.

It was reported by Times that a group had drawn up the tests by which they would assess any changes. The group included former Brexit minister Dominic Raab and Nigel Dodds, the deputy leader of the Northern Irish party which props up May’s minority government.

Michael Tomlinson, one of the group, Conservative lawmaker said “The mechanism has got to be legally binding, so effectively treaty-level change”.

“The second part is the language. It can’t be a reinterpretation of the withdrawal agreement or a re-emphasis; it’s got to be really clear language as to where we are going … The third requirement is a clear exit route.”

Trade minister Liam Fox, for BBC said “They have made it very clear that if the effect of any change is to get the guarantees on the Irish backstop that they sought, then that would be sufficient rather than demanding that it has to be done by one mechanism or another”.

Lula given permission to attend grandson’s funeral

By 720 0

Brazil’s former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who is imprisoned in a federal facility in Paraná’s capital Curitiba was offered a jet to leave prison to attend his grandson’s funeral. His 7 year old grandson died of meningitis on Friday. The funeral is scheduled to happen today in Sao Paulo.

The state government of Parana said that one of its planes will be taking Lula to Sao Paulo, “following a request by the federal police.” A judge still needs to give authorization.

Lulu, on Friday got immense response on Brazilian social medias in favor to his release from jail to attend the funeral. But lawmaker Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of Brazil’s far-right President Jair Bolsonaro, Tweeted that Lula will not be allowed to attend the funeral.

Eduardo said “Lula is just an inmate and he should be at a common prison. When the relatives of other inmates die will they also be escorted by the federal police for the funeral? It is absurd to even contemplate that. It only lets him pose as a poor thing.” It was not sure that whether Lula will be given permission to attend the funeral. But later after several procedures, he was given the permission.

Lula was the former union leader who served as the 35th President of Brazil from 1 January 2003 to 31 December 2010. He was a founding member of the Workers’ Party (PT) and ran unsuccessfully for President three times before achieving victory in the 2002 election, being re-elected in the 2006 election.
