STRANGE BUT TRUE: Man badly beats bride on their wedding night because he couldn't undo her dress

A bride was brutally beaten by her husband on their wedding night because he couldn't undo her dress. Amy Dawson was pinned to the floor by Gavin Golightly just hours after tying the knot in a romantic ceremony in County Durham in August. 

The 22-year-old had asked her new husband for help getting out of the white dress she was wearing when he launched the violent attack. Golightly, 29, said he was under the influence of drugs and could not remember the incident but pleaded guilty to assault at Peterlee Magistrates Court. 

A couple and three of their children were found dead at home after taking a cocktail of drugs in a tragic 'murder-suicide' - to escape "the evil in the world".

Benjamin and Kristi Strack and three of their children, Benson, 14, Emery, 12, and Zion, 11, were found dead in Springville, Utah on September 27 2014.

On Tuesday police said they often discussed religiously-held notions of the apocalypse &orchestrated a multi-drug suicide using methadone and other medication.


Springville Police Department detective Greg Turnbow, the lead officer on the case, said:

"It was a fairly common theme for the parents to talk about, the apocalypse, the end of days, final judgment. Their surviving son, when he was interviewed, indicated that his mother had made comments that if things got bad enough she would much rather take herself and her family out in a comfortable way, rather than a painful way."

A few people have written to me this morning saying they saw a well dressed man driving a Toyota Sienna who parked on Third Mainland bridge, calmly walked over the rails and jumped into the sea. They said it happened so fast they couldn't believe they had witnessed an apparent suicide. Hopefully, we will get more details when government agencies in charge of such things get involved. 

Tanzania has the highest number of killings and attacks of albinos in Africa and trade in body parts of the special people is driven by belief that they bring luck and wealth.

Officials investigating the disappearance of 43 students in Mexico have confirmed they were kidnapped, murdered and incinerated by police.

Families of the victims believe their loved ones are still alive – but for the first time, Mexico's attorney general has said he is certain that all of the students were killed and burned before their remains were thrown into a river.

Jesus Murillo Karam also rejected claims that the army had any participation in the mass slaying.
