A woman in Italy accused of murdering great-aunt with spaghetti



A woman in Italy is awaiting trial after allegedly murdering her great-aunt — with spaghetti.


Paola Pepe, 58, was arrested after she allegedly force-fed Maria Basso the pasta dish at a restaurant in Sicily in December 2022, Nine reports.


The 80-year-old, who was susceptible to choking, died two days after eating the meal after it became lodged in her airways.


A police investigation was launched after Pepe changed Basso's will to name herself the sole beneficiary of her great-aunt's estate in the days prior.


The NZ$823,420 inheritance was to go to charity before it was amended.

News first came across on the forums where galrads/sdarlagg was a regular. I know he was hospitalized more than a year ago and recovered. On April 7th robplum announced he was again in the hospital with pneumonia and pulmonary fibrosis and the update came through today that he passed away on the 10th.

I was in Dayton, Ohio last year on vacation, about one hour from Columbus where he lived. It came as a surprise my brother drove me to Columbus to see a famous museum and German restaurant, so I had no advance plan to contact gal. Always in my thoughts would be to get in touch if I get the chance to go back to Dayton this summer.
It just wasn't in the cards.

There's a void in the CS family as his absence is noticed...

Crooked lying Donald Trump is using his social media (propaganda outlet) to state more falsehoods about justice department rules that don't exist, claiming that “The Very Strict Rules and Regulations of the Department of Injustice STATE CLEARLY that you can’t prosecute a Political Opponent, or anyone, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS/HER CAMPAIGN.”
Oh, I get it. While it's not a rule of the (DOJ) Department of Justice, in Trump's world those rules exist in the (DOI) Department of Injustice.



This isn't political, it's humor.

The top menu line of CS contains a few menu items. Drop down menus are the looking glass for searches, the people button and of course the Profile and Inbox menus. In between you find your 'matches' which you might hope are CS limits to local members within your search preferences, but search preferences are largely ignored. You will see all members, young and old: women if you are a straight man, all men if you are a straight woman. You can tune who you see by adding an age range or a specific location in the menu at the right. The ordering is according to the last log-on date and time.

And then there is the "meet-me" button, which shows 'new members' in your local area. You can 'swipe' either 'yes', 'may be' or 'no'. Candidly to all members you answered 'yes' CS sends a 'like'. As a rookie, I wasn't aware of this. Nowadays I don't use the 'Meet me' button any longer. A peculiar side effect of using the "meet me" button, is that when responding 'yes' without a full profile view, the recipient of the 'like' doesn't notice the sender among his 'profile views'. This is a tell-tale of people having used the "meet me" button. (Technically you might also switch 'hiding my views' and then send a like. This suggests a twisted mindset.)

If you don't really like to receive messages from certain regions or continents or from people (far) outside your target age range, you can specify this by editing your block settings. Your default block settings are lifted for all members you 'like'. A member who 'likes' you, thereby also lifts his/her block settings for messaging (if there were any). If 'likes' are mutual, messaging is possible by default.

Wait For It! ...........................................

The 6 Year Old Little Palestinian girl who is trapped in a car that the Israelis shot up and killed her entire family
The Authorities talked with her for hours to keep her spirits up
In her dire situation....She is wounded and stuck in a car with her dead relatives all around her
It is freezing outside and she is terrified of the Dark
The Red Crescent sent 2 EMT men to find her with the Coordinance from the phone she is using to get to where she is
And now? the people of the Red Crescent have now lost contact with those 2 would be rescuers
It certainly looks as though they might have been killed by the Israeli Army because the Israelis shoot first and if you are still alive? They will then ask Questions
Something has to be done to try and stop the Brutal killing of the Children
May little Hind Amada be protected by God

It is my belief that this world would be better off
If the Children of the World were in charge The grownups really suck at the job

This is for the women ONLY. Women,I really want to hear your honest thoughts on this topic ok. If a woman is always treated nice by men and the men agreeing with her and not leading and or calling her out on her manipulative ways,more likely the women will have an affair or walk all over him because he is not being a real man. True or not true.. Men pay attention and learn something here ??

Some years ago I revisited one of my old schools. A huge Victorian building with a large area of land at the rear. Football, netball, and huge grassed site.
The building was no longer there and had been replaced by some 2 storey insignificant dwellings.
I was disappointed at the removal of a part of my history. The headmistress was formidable and I received the caine, which had a split end, on at least two occasions. I hated her, but in my last year there, the pupils elected me school captain.
The school had 200 pupils. My new school had 2000 pupils.
I discovered that the headmistress was killed in a road accident 7 years after I left.
