Offbeat News | The Morningstarr*

Police in Sao Paulo have confirmed that they are linking the deaths of thirteen men in the past eighteen months to one killer.

The killer, who has already been nicknamed The Rainbow Maniac, prowls a suburban park in Sao Paulo well known for it’s cruising homosexuals. Since July 2007 13 men aged anywhere between 20 and 40 years old have been brutally murdered whilst cruising the area looking for adult fun.

12 of the men were shot with a firearm, and one other victim was beaten to death with a large heavy object. Police in Brazil say the man is definitely a homophobic serial killer who believes he is cleaning the filth from the streets of Sao Paulo.

“We are dealing with a suspect who kills homosexuals, exclusively,” said the area’s police chief. “In his mind, he’s cleaning up the place. He doesn’t like, he hates homosexuals. Who is he? We don’t know.”

Two 750 ml bottles of a yet undetermined corrosive liquid exploded on the street in the Mong Kok area of Hong Kong.Witnesses at the scene say people cried out with pain as the liquid burnt through their clothing and damaged their skin and eyes.

“It looked like an ordinary bottle of water, and the crowd began to disperse. Then I saw people with red faces and eyes in pain,” one witness recalled.

Police suspect that the bottles were dropped intentionally from a high-rise building, but their search of the area has so far led to no arrests.

Teeside Woman Unwitting Cannibal

Anthea Harrison from Guisborough in the North East of England shocked radio listeners earlier this week by announcing live on air that she had once devoured human flesh!

The 36 year old mum of two was taking part in a phone in organised by local radio station TFM asking listeners what the weirdest thing was they’d ever eaten. Local DJ Graham Mack was left stunned when she told him she’d once eaten a human being whilst living in Zambia.

Mrs Harrison said this to the presenter whilst live on air: “When I was a child we lived in Africa and we always went to the same butcher. We were there a couple of years and the meat started getting so much better.

“It was only after we moved back to England a couple of years later we realised the butcher had been arrested. He was killing little black girls and selling the meat.”

“It was a popular butcher’s because he had such good meat,” she later explained to reporters. “It was difficult to get good food over there but that was one thing that was particularly nice.”

Kick A Ginger

Ginger Over 5,000 people joined a Facebook group inspired by an episode of South Park that encouraged people to “Kick a Ginger” on National Kick A Ginger Day 2008.

Following a recent episode of the controversial cartoon South Park where fat character Cartman calls all people with red hair “soulless and evil” a 14 year old boy from Vancouver Canada started the Facebook group and saw it’s popularity rocket with thousands joining.

National Kick A Ginger Day was held on Thursday 20th November, and despite school teachers and parents pleading with gingerists to ignore the Facebook site, ginger children around the globe have reported being kicked and slapped that day by their peers.

Many people reported their attacks on the Facebook group page, boasting how they “kicked a ginger”.

The creator of the Facebook group, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has apologised to all gingers claiming it was only meant as a joke. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police however are investigating the situation as a “hate crime”.

“We do treat this sort of thing seriously,” a police spokeswoman told the Vancouver Sun newspaper. “This is sort of inciting hate. It’s a hate crime, really.”

This week is Canada’s bullying awareness week.

In retaliation to the campaign several opposing Facebook groups have been created with names ranging from the imaginatively titled “Don’t Kick A Ginger Day” with 16 members, to the slightly less impressive “kick a ginger day is predigest and stupid” with just 6 members, who are likely bad spellers.

More Albino Slayings In Africa

Tanzanian Albino The demand for albino body parts in Tanzania is spreading to neighbouring nations.

In the past two months three albinos have been murdered by criminal gangs in Burundi, which shares a border with Tanzania to the east. The latest victim is a six year old girl called Cizanye, a gang of men armed with rifles stormed the girls home and decapitated her with a machete, they then cut off her arms and legs and fled with the limbs.

Police believe the body parts will be sold to Witch Doctors in Tanzania where they will be made into lucky charms.

Despite efforts being made by the Tanzania Government to crack down on this barbarous crime, the number of gruesomely murdered albinos in Eastern Africa is still rising.

Swedish Bestiality Ring Busted

Swedish newspaper Expressen have exposed a network of perverts who regularly meet to have sex with animals.

The group of around 30 zoophiles operate from an online forum where they discuss bestiality and arrange meet-ups all over Sweden where members bring along their animals for intercourse. The administrator of the site is a 45 year old unmarried man who owns a farm with several dogs and horses, when Expressen’s reporter confronted the man about his mistreatment of animals he was quick to defend his relationship with a bitch he acquired from a family that wanted it re-housing in the country.

“Any of the times I did anything with her she was the one who backed into me and provoked it. She was in heat and made herself available. There were also times later when she didn’t want to and then I backed out immediately,” he told Expressen.

During their time with the group the Expressen reporter learned that they held regular meet-ups where people brought along their animals, and the events would be filmed then distributed to other bestiality enthusiasts. Some of the group members told the reporter of a previous meeting with a group member known as “Donkey Man”.

“He has a goat and a couple of donkeys. We tried with a donkey but it didn’t work. But we did have sex with the goat”.

Sex with animals is not illegal in Sweden, earlier this year Swedish Agricultural Minister Eskil Erlandsson caused controversy when he discussed the matter publicly.

“Is it, and should it be, legal to spread something on the genitalia that might smell or taste nice to a dog, in order to allow the dog to lick off whatever is spread on the genitalia?

“Should it be permitted to stroke a bitch’s teats with love, or should it be classified as animal sexual abuse?” the minister wondered.

Ruben Oliveros Despite being blind due to his albinism, Russian immigrant Raffi Yessayan owned a “pimped” black Nissan sedan with custom rims. Because of his blindness Yessayan had to be chauffeured by fellow members of a street gang he was a involved in in Orange County California.

27 year old Oliveros could face life in prison, without the possibility of parole, if he is convicted of first degree murder during a robbery. Six other men have also been charged in connection with the murder, but Oliveros is said to be the man who pulled the trigger of the weapon which killed poor, blind Yessayan.

The slaying took place on the night of 06/06/06, Yessayan was being driven around in his car by Oliveros and two other men, Marco Antonio Charcas-Fernandez and Aurelio Fidencio Saldivar. Following an argument Oliveros pulled the black Nissan sedan over into a parking lot and shot Yessaman twice in the back of the head, the trio then took the car and broke it up to sell as parts. Yessaman’s corpse was discovered the next morning by joggers.

Four other men, one of them Oliveros’ brother, have been charged with being accessories to murder due to helping destroy evidence by dismantling the car.
