Woman hides corpse of mother in freezer to claim pension of deceased

French police

A 55 year-old woman in the village of Horsarrieu located in the South West of France has done the unthinkable after reportedly hiding the corpse of her mother in a freezer.

This was in a bid to continue claiming the old age pension, £1,700, belonging to the deceased, the Mirror UK reports.
The body of the 90 year-old woman was found by the police after they launched an investigation and found the corpse of the deceased.
"They were hidden in a freezer, and there had been no report of the mother’s death.
"The freezer was not connected to the electricity supply going into the house. It was just a hiding place," a prosecutor revealed.
The police believe that the old woman died a decade ago, contradicting claims made by the suspect who stated that her mother died seven years ago.
According to reports, there is a plan to conduct an autopsy to determine if the woman died of natural causes.

His speech slow and slurred, Tiger Woods couldn’t follow simple instructions or keep his balance during a dazed and disoriented encounter with police before he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, reports the Associated Press.
The video images came from dashcam footage that Jupiter police released Wednesday night, and they show Woods with little capacity to stand still without swaying, repeat simple instruction or put one foot in front of the other.
The footage came from his arrest Monday in the dark of early morning when Jupiter police noticed his Mercedes parked on the side of a six-lane road, part of it in the road and part of it in the bicycle lane.Police found the Woods sound asleep behind the wheel, according to an incident report. The engine was running, the brake lights were on and the right turn signal was blinking. Police also released photos of his car that showed both tires flat and minor damage around the bumpers.

How leaving the Paris Climate Agreement could affect the US

President Trump announced on Thursday that the US would leave the Paris Agreement, the landmark accord on climate that unites nearly every country with the goal of keeping the planet from warming by more than 1.5 Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above preindustrial levels.
There will most likely be several consequences not only for the climate but also for the US economy and jobs.
According to John Sterman, a professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management and senior adviser at Climate Interactive, leaving the Paris Agreement will create uncertainty in the economy about the future of fossil fuels and renewable-energy resources. That would be "bad for businesses" and others hoping to invest in renewable energy, and it could spread to other countries' economies. It would also lead to slower deployments of renewable energy, Sterman said.
The costs of these energy sources are decreasing, but with the US's exit of the Paris Agreement, uncertainty could cause solar and wind to be deployed more slowly, keeping their costs higher for longer and ultimately slowing the US's transition to renewable energy.

Coup Scare: Nigerian Army Clamps Down On Suspected Soldiers



The Nigerian Army may have begun an internal search for soldiers and officers suspected to be engaging in political meetings, a top military source has told SUNDAY PUNCH. The source said that some arrests may have been made, but that the information was being kept as top secret so as not to add to the public tension.
Some other sources who spoke to our correspondent on Saturday also noted that the  establishment of an army unit in Daura, Katsina State, on Friday, named Muhammadu Buhari Forward Operation Base, by the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, was an effort to fortify the president’s hometown and a public pledge of loyalty.
On Tuesday, Buratai, in a tense language, had warned officers and soldiers to steer clear of politics, as information had reached him that some officers were involved in political meetings for “undisclosed reasons.”
The army chief had advised officers and soldiers interested in politicking to resign from the service, as any officer caught would be severely penalized.
