New York man kills woman, sleeps with body for two days Posted: A 31-year-old man from New York has been sentenced to life in prison for killing a woman and then sleeping for two days with her decomposing body and buying alcohol with her credit card. Michael Lenahan was sentenced for the 2007 murder of Lorna Santiago, 24, in Confucius Plaza in Chinatown, in an apartment he shared with his ailing grandmother, Fox News reported citing the New York Post. Prosecutors said that after murdering Santiago, Lenahan spent two days surfing websites dealing with how to preserve dead bodies, and later bought alcohol with her credit card. When the body was discovered, Lenahan told police it was an accident and he had only intended to stop her from screaming and hitting him during an argument. "I'm far from a perfect person, but I am a good person," the accused told the Manhattan Supreme Court. "I am extremely sorry and extremely remorseful for what happened."

Attacked by 'devil', 11 jump out of window Posted: Eleven members of a family jumped out of a window at their home in the outskirts of Paris, when they thought they were being attacked by a 'devil'. One of the people - a four-month-old girl - died in the incident. The incident took place in La Verriere town, when a woman mistook her African-born husband, who was naked at that time, for a "devil" and began crying loudly, waking up the other people who stayed in the house. The man had woken up at night to feed their infant daughter. A clash with the relatives broke out subsequently, and the man received a knife injury and was turned out of doors. His attempt to break into the house scared his family members and 11 of them jumped out of the window. They were taken to hospital, but doctors failed to save the life of the infant girl.
