OITA —

Three siblings lived for up to three years with what is thought to be the skeleton of their mother, police in Japan said Thursday, with a report adding they believed she had not died but become a god.
The three—two women aged 59 and 52 and their 65 year-old brother—have denied that they conspired to abandon a body, a crime under Japanese law, because they say their 88-year-old mother is still alive.
“Our mother has become a god. She is not dead but is in the process of being elevated into a higher being,” they told officers in Usa, Oita Prefecture, according to Jiji Press.
A police spokesman told AFP they were awaiting final confirmation but believed the skeleton was that of a woman who would be 88 if she were still alive.
“We discovered today from an autopsy that the skeletonised body is that of a female who died two or three years ago, but we have to wait for the results if a DNA test to confirm her identity,” the spokesman said.

Texas ( Mother charged with using a stun gun to discipline her 14-yr old son )

A Texas mother has been charged with using a stun gun to discipline her 14-year-old son.

Kimira Hysaw, 32, "tased" her son at least four times, shocking him on the head, back, arms and legs while disciplining him for not obeying her instructions, according to witness reports and court documents obtained by Austin Fox News affiliate KTBC.

The incident was brought to the attention of local authorities by a teacher who contacted Child Protective Services after the victim's 4-year-old sister told the teacher about the  abuse.

 

When interviewed by Pflugerville Police, the little girl said her brother was punished for playing basketball without permission. According to the sister, the boy was held down by his father while the mother "tased" the child using a small pink stun gun she carried in her purse.

Police said they questioned a brother of the victim who them his brother would often receive similar punishments when he failed to return home on time.

When police located the boy they noted injuries on his upper right arm and upper right back consistent with those made by a stun gun, reported KTBC.

When questioned by police, Hysaw claimed she had only "threatened" her son with her stun gun.

The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services refused to comment on the case, but a spokesman told KTBC that a child in a similar case would be temporarily relocated to another family member or family friend.

The whereabouts of the 14-year-old boy was not reported could not be determined.

Stun guns are legal in Texas law.

"It's a terrible thing that someone would actually use that to discipline their child," said local gun store owner Michael Cargill who sells similar stun guns for self-defense

Brazilian football star Bruno Fernandes de Souza has admitted he knew of his ex-girlfriend's murder, who was cut up and fed to dogs, but denied having any involvement in the killing.

De Souza is on trial for allegedly ordering the gruesome murder of ex-girlfriend Eliza Samudio to avoid paying her child support, according to reports in the the New York Daily News.

Souza told jurors that he learned about Samudio's death from his cousin, who had witnessed the killing, the paper said. (Also see: Story in pics)

Prosecutors said De Souza fathered a son with the 25-year old Samudio and then ordered goons to kill her to avoid paying child support.

The soccer star insisted he was not the one who ordered the slaying, but said that he felt guilty for her death, and his testimony was a dramatic reversal of earlier statements in which Souza said he didn't know what happened to the brunette stunner, who disappeared in June 2010 after claiming Souza fathered her baby.

The 25-year-old model was lured to a Rio de Janiero hotel on June 4 thinking she was going to take a DNA test to prove the married Flamengo football club star was the father of her son, born in February 2010, prosecutors said..

Samudio was kidnapped and taken to the star's vacation pad in the city of Belo Horizonte, more than 200 miles away, where she was strangled and dismembered by a gang of Souza's pals, authorities said.

According to media reports, Bruno Fernandes was tipped to play in the next World Cup.

NCRI - The Yemeni Defense Ministry said Thursday it has seized another Iranian vessel smuggling weapons into a Yemen near the Bab el- Mandeb Strait off the Red Sea coasts.
"The vessel, Jihan, was seized along with the Yemeni fishing boat by the Yemeni Navy and was moved to the Aden port for inspection," the ministry said in a statement on its website.
Yemen had said it captured an Iranian boat, Jihan 1, in last January, pointing out that the vessel included surface-to-air missiles used to shoot down civilian and military aircraft, C4 military-grade explosives, 122-millimeter shells, rocket-propelled grenades and bomb-making equipment, including electronic circuits, remote triggers and other hand-held explosives.

Arizona Tucson ( The lost tribe of Israel - or what is it ? ) Found in 1924

TUCSON - It's a desert mystery that has baffled Tucsonans and historians for nearly nine decades.

In 1924, Tucsonan Charles Manier was traveling with his family to Picture Rocks, when he discovered what is now known as "The Silverbell Artifacts", along Silverbell Road.
The collection includes more than 30 lead crosses and swords. To this day, nobody knows where they came from. "Some people say the Romans lived here, others say they're from the lost tribe of Israel, all sorts of theories," says Julia Arriola, Curator of the Arizona History Museum.

Arriola recently decided to pull the artifacts out of the vault, after the History Channel's "America Unearthed" aired a documentary about the artifacts. "I think people are just fascinated by buried treasure," Arriola says.
Many of the artifacts have Latin words written all over them. "Some of the professors who looked at them found out the text was actually lifted right from textbooks," Arriola says.
She says one other strange characteristic about the artifacts is that they were embedded in caliche, which is a type of cement. "So whoever did it went through a lot of work," Arriola says.
The questions have led many to believe the collection is one big archaeological hoax. Arriola says we may never know. "I invite anyone to come in, have a look, do some research and find out for yourself," Arriola says.

"The Silverbell Artifacts" will be on display at the Arizona History Museum at 949 E. 2nd Street for the next few months.

ARIZONA ( 2 Cheerleaders post ' Hit list ' online ) Instagram wild wild west

Sheriff: 2 Pinal County cheerleaders post 'hit list' online

 Posted: Mar 06, 2013 9:59 AM PST Updated: Mar 06, 2013 10:09 AM PST





FLORENCE, AZ (CBS5) -
Two Pinal County cheerleaders are under investigation by the sheriff's office after a "hit list" they created was posted online.




 


The cheerleaders, an eighth-grade student at Walker Butte K-8 school and a sophomore at Poston Butte High School, placed the list on the social media site Instagram with an icon of a pistol next to the words "hit list."
A Pinal County Sheriff's spokesman said the girls told deputies they created the list to name people they didn't like, but didn't intend on harming any of them. The list contained names of students and a teacher, the spokesman said.
The Florence Unified School District was notified about the list by a parent of one of the students on the list. The district then notified the sheriff's office about 6 a.m. Wednesday, the spokesman said.
Deputies were continuing their investigation to determine whether to submit the case to the Pinal County Attorney's Office for charges of threatening and intimidating, the spokesman said.
There was no word on whether the girls were still at their respective schools Wednesday.
"With recent school shootings across the country, all possible threats of violence at schools are taken seriously by law enforcement," Sheriff Paul Babeu said. "Parents are encouraged to talk with their children and explain the seriousness of making such threats whether they are meant as a joke or not."
No other information was immediately available.
