A HUSBAND who killed his wife three days after their wedding before stuffing her body in a suitcase has been found guilty of her murder. Dawn Walker, 52, was found dead in a field near the home she shared with Thomas Nutt in Lightcliffe, near Halifax, West Yorks., in October last year. Nutt, 45, had admitted killing his wife by pleading guilty to manslaughter - but had denied murder. But on Wednesday a jury at Bradford Crown Court returned a unanimous guilty verdict. Over the course of the trial, the jury heard Nutt killed Dawn some time between October 27 - the couple's wedding day - and October 31 last year. Dawn had asked Nutt for a divorce before he killed her, first keeping her body in a kitchen cupboard before transferring her to the suitcase.

But will he answer? The ex-president's lawyer has indicated that he will advise Trump to stay mum and invoke the Fifth Amendment's protection against self-incrimination. It's a constitutional right that gets high-profile exposure in settings from Congress to TV crime shows, but there are nuances. Here's what it means — and doesn't — to “plead (or ‘take’) the Fifth." WHAT IS ‘THE FIFTH’? The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution establishes a number of rights related to legal proceedings, including that no one “shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself.” In the most direct sense, that means criminal defendants don't have to give damning testimony in their own cases. But it has come to apply in … [Read more...] about What does ‘plead the Fifth’ mean? Will Donald Trump do it?

Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 5 COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Sri Lanka's justice minister submitted a proposed constitutional amendment to Parliament on Wednesday that would clip the powers of the president, a key demand of protesters calling for political reforms and solutions to the country’s worst economic crisis. The action came as former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, who fled violent anti-government protests last month, was reportedly seeking to enter Thailand from his temporary exile in Singapore. He fled Sri Lanka last month after thousands of angry protesters stormed his official residence, holding him responsible for the country’s economic woes. A Thai Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Rajapaksa would be allowed entry but had not asked for political asylum.

LONDON warehouse worker, Kyriacos Christou, has avoided jail after being caught with over £60,000 ($72,500) worth of Pokémon cards stolen from his work. The owner of the warehouse, Michael Duke, became suspicious after he noticed thousands of pounds worth of stock had gone missing. He set up CCTV cameras in his warehouse to get to the root of the theft, where Christou was caught opening and pocketing packs of cards. Duke then confronted Christou, who admitted to the theft after being caught with the cards on him. Police later raided Christou’s home, where he lives with his mother and brother, and over half a million Pokémon cards were found.
