A man from Tennessee, United States, Bradley Dawson, has been arrested in connection with the murder of his wife at a luxury Fijian resort.
The lifeless body of his 38-year-old wife, Christe Chen, was found at the Turtle Island Resort, a private getaway in the Yasawa Islands that hosts 14 couples at a time.
The couple got married in February and were on the Island for their honeymoon when the incident occurred on July 9. However, the cause of her death is still unclear.
Bradley became the prime suspect in his wife’s murder because he was nowhere to be found when the body of his deceased wife was found by Fiji’s police.
He was eventually caught and taken into custody by the police who claimed he was uncooperative and refused to carry out forensic tests.
Bradley has now been charged to court on one count of murder and appeared before Magistrate, Sekonaia Vodokisolomone, at a High Court in Fiji’s second largest island Lautoka on July 19.
Magistrate Vodokisolomone in giving her judgement, said the accused committed an ‘indictable offence’ and transferred the case.
It was gathered that the deceased was a Pharmacist at Krogers and her husband is an IT professional for Youth Villages, a non-profit that helps children.
Reacting to the incident, Bradley’s employer, Youth Village, sent their condolence to the deceased family and disclosed that they have suspended him till further notice.
“Bradley Dawson was an IT professional at Youth Villages. He has been suspended pending further information. It is our understanding Ms Chen was his wife, and our condolences go out to her family,” said Youth Villages in a statement.

“I always felt like I was living somebody else’s life. Kojo Besia… Obaaberima… It got to some point I owned it. So when you call me Kojo Besia, Obaa Berima, I’m like, ‘hello, hi’. I just owned it. I am popularly known as Angel Maxine, and I’m Ghana’s first openly transgender musician.”

The Osun State Police Command has launched a manhunt for the wife, Ifeoluwa Bamidele, who set her husband, Bolu, on fire for allegedly having a child outside wedlock.
It was earlier reported that the Cairo-based man came to Nigeria to spend time with his wife on her birthday but things went south after she discovered that he has a child with another woman.
She threatened to kill him and commit suicide before day breaks in a post she shared on her WhatsApp status.
The message reads,
“I’ve always been a calm girl and I have never done this in my life but Teebam (her husband) has pushed me to the edge. At this point, y’all will weep over myself and him before daybreak. I’m promising y’all that.”
A fight reportedly ensued between the couple and she demanded to check through his phone to confirm her suspicion but he refused.
She reportedly set him ablaze after locking the door and all efforts to save him by neighbours proved abortive, and it took hours for them to gain access into the house.
Ife fled the scene and it was believed that she took her own life after committing the dastardly act but family members said there’s no proof that she did so.
Men of the Osun State Police Command have now begun a search for the young lady and assured that she would be arrested and brought to book.
Confirming the incident, Spokesperson of the command, SP Yemisi Opalola, gave a detailed account of what transpired and said the incident took place at the couple’s residence in Koka community, Ibokun Local Government Area of the state on Sunday, July 17.
“At about 11:30pm, one Bolu, was allegedly set ablaze by his wife. The victim was rushed to the Osogbo Central Hospital where he was referred to the University College Hospital, Ibadan (UCH) for better treatment,” she stated.
“It is unfortunate that the man eventually died around 4.00 pm on Tuesday in the hospital,”SP Opalola added.
A video trending on social media shows the lovely moment a young man proposed to his girlfriend during a church service.
The young lady who is a choir member was leading worship session when the Christian brother went down on his kneels in the presence of all the congregants to propose to her.
Her eyes were closed while leading the soul-stirring worship and was oblivious to the fact that her man was kneeling down in front of her.
When she eventually opened her eyes, she saw her man on his knees holding out a ring box and became awash with emotions.
Without any hesitation, she accepted her man’s proposal and gave him a hug. The young man also gave her a gift bag.
Following the emotional proposal, the couple knelt down before the altar for the pastor to pray for them.
In the clip currently serving the rounds online, the lady received a vehicle as a birthday gift from her beau.
The video captured the moment the lover boy took his girlfriend to the spot where the automobile was parked while covering her eyes with his hands.
However, instead of being overjoyed to see the whip as one might have anticipated, the woman reacted angrily and questioned the man’s decision to surprise her with that brand of vehicle.
FILE - Former boxer Mike Tyson holds a news conference on Feb. 21, 2014, in Bethlehem, Pa. Authorities will not file criminal charges against former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson after he was recorded on video punching a fellow first-class passenger aboard a plane at San Francisco International Airport last month, prosecutors announced Tuesday, May 10, 2022. (Stephen Flood/The Express-Times via AP, File)
American former professional boxer, Mike Tyson has said that he believes that he is getting closer to his death.
The 56-year-old former heavyweight champion, while speaking on his podcast, “Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson,” told trauma and addiction therapist Sean McFarland he feels his time is almost up.
“We’re all gonna die one day of course,” Tyson said. “Then, when I look in the mirror, I see those little spots on my face, I say, ‘Wow. That means my expiration date is coming close, really soon.” He said.
Speaking further, the boxing legend said he doesn’t believe money brings the happiness and security that many associate with it.
In his words,
“Money don’t mean s**t to me. I always tell people, they think money’s gonna make them happy, they’ve never had money before, when you have a lot of money, you can’t expect nobody to love you. How am I gonna confess my love to you when you have 500 billion dollars? The false sense of security. You believe nothing can happen. You don’t believe the banks could collapse. You believe that you’re invincible when you have a lot of money, which isn’t true. That’s why I always say money is a false sense of security.”
A young boy has been rescued by a Danish aid worker, Anja Ringgren Lovén, and her team after he was almost killed by his father over witchcraft allegation in Akwa Ibom.
Taking to her Facebook page on Wednesday, July 20, Lovén disclosed that the boy was almost hacked to death by his father who accused him of being a witch.

“This is a case of severe child abuse and how ironic that the boy was wearing a t-shirt with LOVE printed on it considering his inhumane condition.
“Before the boy was abandoned his father use to torture him. His mother died when he was young and the step mother did not like him.
“Today Orok and I had a little session with the boy and we saw a little smile on his face for the first time. His name is Samuel and he is now safe at Land of Hope.

Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth.
A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen.
On her way she met a copy. The copy warned the Little Blind Text, that where it came from it would have been rewritten a thousand times and everything that was left from its origin would be the word “and” and the Little Blind Text should turn around and return to its own, safe country.
A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents.
But nothing the copy said could convince her and so it didn’t take long until a few insidious Copy Writers ambushed her, made her drunk with Longe and Parole and dragged her into their agency, where they abused her for their projects again and again. And if she hasn’t been rewritten, then they are still using her.

A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table – Samsa was a travelling salesman – and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer.
Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad. “How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense”, he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn’t get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was.
The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.
One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections.

I will not get into anything about what you’ve done and said. I can only speak for myself. The things I’ve done have made you so sad you chose to break that promise. Whether I’m right or wrong, I’m sorry. All I have ever wanted for us was to be happy. Going through your divorce, your mother’s passing, your sister, and now your father with you has been hell, and being your way of escape has been beautiful but There were times that I let my stubbornness get in the way of what we were building. Times where I’ve done things and said things you didn’t like. With you being my first serious relationship, I thought it would be easy to move on. Yet, with you not being with me, I have realized that the absence of my person is even worse than that. After all this, you’ve made me know that hell is just earth without you. I’ve loved you with everything I have since the day we met. I hope going to these therapy sessions will help us both learn about each other deeper. I want you to know how much I miss you and what you mean to me. I love you.”

“I’m literally not wearing makeup, have my nails done, or my hair for that fact,’ Erika hit back. ‘It’s literally just scrubs tucked in so I don’t get stuck.” She added.
