The 'cultish sex circle' at centre of German crossbow massacre: Medieval-obsessed lesbian shot 'slave-master' in the heart in murder-suicide as pictures reveal his bizarre shop with a bloodstained mannequin, Knights Templar flag and weaponry
Germany's mysterious crossbow massacre, five deaths which have baffled police and enthralled the nation, revolved around a cultish sex circle with a focus on the Middle Ages, it was revealed today.
A macabre picture is emerging of the lives of those who died, at two locations, in what police believe is a grand murder-suicide between people who shared a passion for Medieval alchemy and weaponry.
The case so far revolves around Farina Caspari, 30, who was the last one alive before she turned a crossbow on herself and shot a bolt through her neck, and Torsten Weiss, 53, who has been described as a domineering figure who treated women 'like slaves' and ran a medieval-themed shop filled with weapons, Knights Templar flags and a blood-spattered mannequin on the counter.
Weiss appeared to have controlled the four women like a harsh sect leader who used physical force and psychological manipulation, Bild daily and RTL television reported.
New cinema has DOUBLE BEDS instead of seats (and don't worry if you're on the back row.
A new concept cinema has opened in Switzerland in which viewers recline in double beds rather than traditional seats.
The 'VIP bedroom' screen opened on Thursday inside Cinema Pathé in the northwesterly municipality of Spreitenbach near the Swiss-German border.
While they hope to entice fans of home-streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime, cinema operators waved away concerns about hygiene and inappropriate activity taking place during the screenings.
Venanzio Di Bacco, CEO of Pathé Switzerland, told local news website 20 minuten that the sheets will be changed between every single film, and that the design is tried and tested.
'The hygiene aspect is very important to us,' he said.

Teen beheaded classmate in jealous rage over girlfriend: prosecutors
A crazed teen beheaded a schoolmate who he thought had slept with his girlfriend, prosecutors said in court this week.
Mathew Borges was just 15 in November 2016 when he is accused of cutting off the head and hands of Lee Manuel Viloria-Paulino, 16, in Lawrence, Massachusetts.
Borges killed the Lawrence High School sophomore in a jealous rage after accusing him with sleeping with his girlfriend, causing them to split, prosecutors said in Essex County Superior Court on Monday, according to the Boston Herald.
“I think of killing someone and I smirk … It’s all I think about every day,” he texted the girl, according to Assistant DA Jay Gubitose.
“The next time you see me, look at my eyes because that’s the last time they’ll be like that. They’ll be dead,” he texted her before the brutal murder, according to the report.
2 killed, 4 injured in campus shooting at UNC Charlotte
Two people were killed and four others injured after a gunman opened fire in a classroom on a North Carolina college campus Tuesday afternoon.
The suspected shooter, identified by police as 22-year-old Trystan Andrew Terrell, was taken into custody after opening fire at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, authorities said.
Terrell allegedly targeted a classroom on the campus at about 5 p.m., killing the two people and wounding four others — including three who were critically injured, authorities said.
Local media outlets reported he was a former student at the college who dropped out this year before completing his degree in history.
His grandfather told the Associated Press by phone on Tuesday night that he was shocked his grandson could be responsible for the slayings.
“This is not in his DNA,” Paul Rold of Arlington, Texas, said.

The 10 Thanos Comics You Should Read Before 'Avengers: Endgame'
fter a decade of building hype around the collection of six infinity MacGuffins, and a lot of doubt surrounding Thanos‘ ability to meet fandom’s expectation beyond that space chair he firmly planted himself upon, the Mad Titan finally decimated Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in Avengers: Infinity War. Whatever skepticism percolated in your brain as you walked out of the theater, in the moment, when Peter Parker ashed in the arms of Tony Stark, we were all balling at this impossible cliffhanger villain victory. What was all that fervor about the MCU’s antagonist problem? Solved? Malekith is still trash.
Five minutes into his big coming out party and Thanos was already slaying Asgardians and putting the Hulk in his corner. In a franchise built on protagonists persevering despite their failures, the gargantuan purple mo-cap monster delivered a catastrophic climax in which not only the costumed crusaders had to absorb, but the audience as well. The Russo Brothers twisted the knife even further when they closed the nightmare on a contented smile from the righteous maniac. Thanos won.
A year later, and we’re eagerly anticipating the big fix that will return Black Panther, Spider-Man, and the Guardians of the Galaxy to their billion dollar sequels. In a universe populated with Time Gems, Quantum Realms, and Captain Marvels, Phase 3 will not be the end of The Avengers. Duh. The mighty will return, and Thanos will have that smug smile wiped from his face. Of course, yes, we’re all worried about Steve Rogers. He sure does fetishize that sacrifice play.
'Stand By Me' is Stephen King's Most Personal Confrontation with Death
n 1986, a Stephen King novella, The Body (originally published in the Different Seasons anthology), was adapted into a feature film. This is not strange in itself — King is a prolific author, and his works have been adapted to film for decades — but while he is known as the King of Horror, this story was much more mundane.
Stand by Me, directed by Rob Reiner, is one of the best coming-of-age films ever to grace the big screen. It follows four boys’ end-of-summer adventure before they head off to junior high. They include Wil Wheaton as protagonist and narrator Gordie Lachance, River Phoenix as strong and sensitive group leader Chris Chambers, Corey Feldman as oddball Teddy Duchamp, and Jerry O’Connell as the begrudgingly included Vern Tessio.
They hear a rumor that the body of a missing boy has been seen not far from their hometown, Castle Rock. They decide that they must be the ones to find the body, and that finding and reporting it will make them town heroes. In a move that is incomprehensible by modern parenting standards, they lie to their parents about camping out in Vern’s field and disappear for almost two days to head off down the train tracks. Underneath the heartwarming quest that they undertake are some of King’s quintessential themes; death and grief underscore the journey.
When they first set out, the boys are giddy about their adventure. They sing, joke, and skip as they start down the train tracks. This walk in the woods provides a welcome distraction from their dysfunctional home lives, but it’s not long before their demons catch up with them. The first encounter with death occurs when a train comes along. Teddy stays on the tracks as the other three move clear because he wants to dodge the train. He stares down the locomotive as it approaches, and his friends don’t seem convinced that he will get out of the way in time. Teddy is furious with Chris for pulling him out of danger’s path. Chris apologizes and tells him that he can “dodge it later.”

Nana Olomu in exile, Accra, Ghana, 1894.
Nana Olomu (1852–1916) was an Itsekiri chief, palm oil merchant, freedom fighter and Governor of the Benin River from 1886 to 1894.
Born in Jakpa to Chief Olomu (1810-1884), who had 59 wives and 106 children (53 male and 53 female), Nana Olomu successfully prevented European penetration of the hinterland of the Benin and the nearby rivers until he was captured and sent to exile in Accra in 1894.
Nana Olomu's monopolistic control of trade in the Benin River stifled Urhobo traders and Europeans who now have their share of the trade significantly reduced. He signed a treaty on behalf of his people in 1884 that gave the British rights over Itsekiri. By this treaty, Itsekiri became the first protectorate in the Western Niger Delta, few years before the successive fall of Oba Nogbaisi Ovonramwen of the Benin Kingdom. Olomu was oblivious of a section of the treaty which ended the sovereignty of Itsekiri.

Joaquin Phoenix’s ‘Joker’ gets first trailer
After several films with mixed results, the DC cinematic universe looks like it might just get the last laugh.
Today, Warner Bros. released the first trailer for “Joker,” the new standalone film for the clown-prince of crime. The film is set to be released on Oct. 4 this year, but you can watch the trailer now:
The character
Thankfully, Joaquin Phoenix appears to be giving the Joker his own unique identity. He isn’t copying Jack Nicholson or Heath Ledger’s characters. He is also not taking something completely out-of-left-field like Jared Leto.
This Joker has an element of tragedy to his character, coupled with the growing negativity oozing from Gotham City.
For the first time since Tim Burton’s 1989 film “Batman,” the Joker will be getting a backstory on the silver screen. His true identity in this film will be a failing comedian named Arthur Fleck.
Fans may be turned off by adding a backstory to the character (shrouding him in mystery is the usual treatment). However, the Joker himself gave a bit of insight into his character in the graphic novel “Batman: The Killing Joke.”
“Sometimes I remember it one way, sometimes another. If I’m going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice.”
Basically, you should accept the film as one interpretation of how the Joker went mad, rather than the universal truth.
