Scrapped Safe Full of Cash

Some very honest men working on a steel plant in Berlin struck lucky with a safe and could have bagged themselves a neat little package of 100,000 Euros (around $128,500USD) when employees of ‘Postbank’ dumped a safe.

An employee at the German bank had completely forgotten to grab the cash before sending it to the local dump site.

Bank spokesman Ralf Palm laid the blame and responsibility for the money being left in the safe on one worker, due to “the carelessness of an employee when a branch office moved in December.”

At Least 111 People Died From an Explosion of a Petrol Tanker

In Kenya, in the town of Molo at least 111 people died and about 200 wounded when a petrol tanker truck overturned and exploded as they were trying to pilfer free fuel from it. Unfortunately the death toll is yet expected to rise.

It is yet unknown, but it may be, someone’s cigarette may have caused the blaze. Similar cases often occur in Nigeria where people tap gas pipelines, for example 200 people died from a gasoline blast.

Mother Killed Her Daughter to Keep Boyfriend

34-year-old Penny Boudreau has been sentenced to life in prison for killing her 12-year-old daughter Karissa. Karissa’s last words were “Mommy don’t” as her mother pinned her to the ground. Penny then strangled her only child to death using twine.

Penny then hauled her lifeless body via car to LaHave River, dumping it there. Penny left Karissa’s jeans and Winnie the Pooh underwear pulled down, thinking it may suggest her child had been sexually assaulted if her body were to be discovered.

Penny’s boyfriend Vernon Macumber was the apparent motive behind the horrendous act, telling her to “choose her or me.” Justice Margaret Stewart told Penny at the hearing “The words, ‘Mommy, don’t’ are there to haunt you for the rest of your life.”
