UK Couple Ordered to Spend Nights Apart After Domino’s Pizza Sex Romp

By HardBoiledNews Staff Leave a Comment

SCARBOROUGH, England — That’ll hit ‘em where it hurts.

A randy U.K. couple who were caught on camera having sex while waiting for a Domino’s pizza have been slapped with a curfew that will bar them from spending the night together for six months.

Daniella Hirst, 29, and Craig Smith, 31, were captured by surveillance cameras engaging in a full-on, 18-minute romp right in front of the counter of the fast food joint in the seaside resort town of Scarborough in February,

The pair had popped in for a pie after a boozy night and Hirst soon dropped to her knees to perform oral sex on Smith in plain view as they waited for their order.

Minutes later, Smith had pulled Hirst’s pants down and the two engaged in full-on sex with Hirst leaning over the counter.

The workers, who were busy taking phone orders, making pizzas and shipping them out the door, did not appear to notice what was going on on the other side of the counter.

But when a worker later spotted the steamy sex acts on the store’s surveillance footage, the video soon appeared online and went viral. Police soon identified the cheeky couple and they were charged with outraging public decency.

The couple admitted to the Sun newspaper that they regularly engaged in public sex.

“I’m very open-minded about sex and public places — I love the thrill you may get caught,” Hirst said. “But obviously I never thought we’d get caught like this and end up all over the internet.”

While the pair avoided jail time, the judge ordered that they remain at home from 7 p.m. until 7 a.m. everyday for six months, meaning they will spend their nights apart as they live separately.

Philanthropist to Be Extradited From US to Guyana to Face Murder Charge in Gay Beating Death

Marcus Bisram was a major donor to Guyanese charities

NEW YORK  — A wealthy Guyanese philanthropist was ordered by a U.S. judge to be extradited from New York back to his home country to face charges that he allegedly ordered the brutal beating death of a carpenter who had spurned his sexual advances at a party.

Marcus Bisram, 27, had been living openly in Queens since fleeing Guyana following the killing of carpenter Faiyaz Narinedatt in October 2016.

Guyanese prosecutors said Bisram had hosted a party at his house in Number 70 Village in Berbice that night and had grabbed Narinedatt’s penis and buttocks as he was urinating in the backyard.

Narinedatt responded by slapping Bisram twice in the face. As Narinedatt tried to walk back to the party, Bisram allegedly yelled to five of his guests: “He just slapped me up, you all done he, you all kill he skunt,” a colloquial phrase meaning to kill him.

The men started to brutally beat Narinedatt, authorities said, as Bisram egged them on, yelling:“Beat he till he dead.”

The men then handcuffed Narinedatt, threw him in the trunk of a car, drove him to a deserted stretch of road and ran over him several times. His lifeless body was found the next day.

Meanwhile, Bisram flew to New York, where he had largely lived since childhood. In recent years he had created a foundation that donated heavily to charitable projects in Guyana.

Bisram was arrested by New York authorities in July and had awaited extradition since. The five men involved in the killing were arrested earlier and have been charged with murder in Guyana.

Several of Bisram’s relatives in Guyana, including his mother, have been charged with attempting to bribe authorities there to make the case against him go away,  Kaieteur News reported.

Huckster Sentenced for Bilking Refugees in Phony Hmong Homeland Fraud

Supporters of Seng Xiong and his plan to create a Hmong homeland

ST. PAUL, Minnesota — A fast-talking huckster was sentenced to just over seven years in prison for bilking elderly Hmong refugees out of $1.7 million with the phony promise that he was working with U.S. officials and the United Nations to create a Hmong homeland.

Seng Xiong, 49, had used a series of Hmong language YouTube videos and conference calls to sucker members of the displaced southeast Asian ethnic group to deposit between $3,000 and $5,000 in his account in return for 10 acres of land and a house in the soon-to-be-created state.

Tens of thousands of Hmong refugees came to the United States after the Vietnamese War, during which they fought alongside American troops against Communist forces mainly in Laos. Hmong communities, which are heavily concentrated in California, Minnesota and Wisconsin, remain tight-knit.

“They were displaced, they had a refugee experience,” said U.S. District Court Judge Susan Nelson, according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press. “It (was) these folks’ lack of assimilation in this country, their lack of healing over this horrific past, that Mr. Xiong preyed upon,”

Xiong had claimed his group  — Hmong Tebchaws, or Homn Country —  had been working closely with the United States government and the United Nations to establish the new Hmong country somewhere in Southeast Asia. He said high-ranking officials had “approved” or “authorized” his proposal and that the creation of the state was to be announced imminently.

He offered his targets the opportunity to be “founders” who would be entitled to land, a house free healthcare as well as government assistance for those over 65 in exchange for their money.

At trial, U.S. state department and U.N. officials testified that Xiong had not been working with anyone at either agency and that the fanciful plan had no official approval.

Still, many of Xiong’s backers continued to stand by him and around 50 appeared in court at his sentencing to show their support and to call for his release.

“I am an honest person. I have dedicated my life to the liberation of the Hmong people,” Xiong told the judge. “This is politically motivated. It has nothing to do with fraud … everybody knows that.”

Nelson noted that Xiong’s influence over some of his followers seemed almost “cult-like” but, “the fact is you lied to your followers and to this day you continue to deny it.”

Natalia and Dmitry Baksheev allegedly admitted to killing and eating up to 30 people

KRASNODAR, Russia — A husband and wife have admitted to a having killed and eaten the remains of up to 30 victims over the past two decades in a shocking spree of cannibalism in provincial Russia, police said.

The blood-thirsty couple were finally caught after the husband lost a cell phone containing pictures of him posing with the severed head of one victim and holding a human hand in his mouth, authorities said.

When maintenance workers found the cracked Samsung cell phone outside a military aviation university in the southern city of Krasnodar on Sept. 11, they immediately contacted police after seeing the pictures on it, the Russian news outlet, Mash, reported.

Cops were able to race the phone to 35-year-old Dmitry Baksheev, who lived near where the phone was found with his wife Natalia, 42,  a nurse at the school, police said.

When confronted, Baksheev calmly admitted having posed for the grisly photos, but insisted he had simply found the body parts and decided to ham it up for the camera with them, police said.

But the interrogation soon took a macabre turn, when he and his wife admitted having a taste for human flesh, and to having killed and eaten dozens of people dating back to 1999. They said they couldn’t remember exactly how many people they had killed but estimated it was as many as 30.

They later admitted having killed the woman in the photo after meeting her in the street and drinking heavily with her.

A further search of the couple’s home revealed eight jars containing what appeared to be human remains pickled in a kind of brine. Skin which appeared to have been  taken from as many as 19 people, was also discovered in the home.

So far, police say they have not confirmed the couple’s accounts of the earlier deaths aside from the woman whose photos were found on the phone, but they are continuing to investigate.

CALGARY, Canada — They picked the wrong clerk to mess with.

A pair of masked thieves armed with an axe and a tire iron ended up in the fight of their lives when a convenience store clerk started swinging back and barricaded them inside until cops arrived.

Surveillance footage revealed a wild scene when the ski-mask clad thieves — a boyfriend and girlfriend team — barged into a Calgary at 5 a.m. on Aug. 17, where Nisar “Sonny” Ahmed was manning the counter.

As he was talking to a friend on the phone, the robbers shouted “Get Down! Get Down!” he told the Calgary Herald. But he say the man then grabbed him and tried to force him to the ground and that’s when Ahmed starting fighting back.

“I said to him, anything he wants, he can take it,” Ahmed said. “But he pushed me, and then he started fighting me.”

First Ahmed spun the man around and tore off his mask. As the two struggled for control of an axe, the other thief was snatching packs of cigarettes. But when she noticed that things had taken a bad turn for her partner, she started wailing at Ahmed with a tire iron, but he managed to grab the weapon away from her as well.

She then took two big kicks at him, and Ahmed fled from behind the counter and out the door. Once outside, he grabbed a bench and a display rack for big bottles of windshield wiper fluid and used them to block the door.

After trying to push their way through, one of the thieves used the axe to smash the glass door, but as the pair tried to beat a hasty retreat, Ahmed and the friend he had been speaking on the the phone with when the robbery began, started pelting the couple with wiper fluid bottles.

The couple eventually forced their way out, but Ahmed wrestled the man, Arthur Gordon Bennie, 35,  to the ground and held him until police arrived. Cops later caught up with the woman, Natalie Cory-Lyn Elaschuk, 24, and arrested her.

Thieves Drill Into Paris Cellar From Catacombs and Steal $300K of Wine

By HardBoiledNews Staff Leave a Comment

PARIS — A pack of wine-loving thieves made off with over $300,000 worth of vintage wine after drilling into the cellar of home in a posh Paris neighborhood from the ancient catacombs beneath the city, authorities said.

The bold heist took place sometime between Monday and Tuesday in Paris’ chic 6th arrondissement near the Luxembourg Gardens, home of the French Senate.

After boring through the limestone tunnel walls beneath home, the thieves took off with about 300 bottles of highly sought after grand cru.

Police said they believe the thieves were targeting the specific wine cellar and knew exactly where to drill.

“We believe they must have made visits before; the suspects didn’t drill that particular wall by accident,” a police spokesman told French media.

The catacombs beneath Paris date back centuries and are off limits to the public at night, although people have long snuck in to explore, have parties and hold secret meetings.

Earlier this summer, two teens got lost within the miles of tunnels for several days, requiring police to send down a rescue party.

Ecuador Jails Chinese Fishermen Caught With 6,600 Sharks in Galapagos

This haul of dead sharks was found on the Chinese fishing vessel earlier this month

SAN CRISTOBAL ISLAND, Ecuador  — A group of 20 Chinese fishermen have been sentenced to up to four years in jail after being caught off the famed Galapagos Islands with 6,600 dead sharks stashed in their ship.

The Ecuadorean navy boarded the Fu Yuan Yu Leng 999 earlier this month after the ship was spotted in water near the Galapagos National Park. Inside the hold they discovered a shocking array of over 300 near-extinct or endangered marine species, including the sharks.

Fishing is banned within the waters of the park.

In a trial on tiny San Cristobal Island, the 20 fisherman were sentenced to between one and four years in jail, and were slapped with fines totaling $5.9 million.

“The sentence marks a milestone in regional environmental law and an opportunity to survive for migratory species,” the country’s Ministry of Environment said in a statement.

The islands, which site some 600 miles west of mainland Ecuador, are considered one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet, which was made famous as the site where Charles Darwin formulated his theory of evolution.

Shark fin is a prized delicacy in China, where it isconsumed in a shredded jelly-like soup. A staple of traditional banquets, Chinese government officials cracked down on the custom in 2014, with President Xi Jinping calling it an extravagance and banning it at official functions.

Chinese officials have said they oppose any form of illegal fishing, but noted there was no evidence that the fish found on board the ship came from Ecuadorian waters. The Chinese foreign ministry said the ship had transited through the Galapagos protected zone without permission because its crew did not understand Ecuador’s rules.

‘Wall of Cocaine’ Worth $250 Million Seized in Canadian Port

The cocaine was valued at $250 million

ORILLIA, Canada — Investigators seized a literal wall of cocaine that  smugglers had attempted to sneak into the country, in one of the largest drug hauls ever in Canada, officials announced.

Authorities said the drugs — over 1,000 pounds of pure cocaine — had a street value of around $250 million.

Ontario police say they first stumbled upon the coke in March at the Port of Montreal during the search of shipping containers from Argentina. In the container, they found cocaine blocks encased in concrete and stacked four to five feet high on multiple palettes.

“Inside of the palettes were numerous rocks. A few of the random stones would have cocaine. These stones were put together with cement and the cocaine was sealed inside,” Ontario Provincial Police Deputy Commissioner Rick Barnum said.

The seizure led to a further search of Canada Border Services Agency warehouses in Montreal and in Stoney Creek, Ontario, where more cocaine was found.

Three people were arrested, but investigators believe more people were involved.

ROLLESTON, England — She was caught bread handed.

Eagle-eyed security guards at a United Kingdom racecourse stopped a woman dead in her tracks as she tried to sneak a bottle of vodka into the venue stashed inside a sandwich.

The woman apparently was looking to save on her bar tab at the Southwell Racecourse on Sunday when she tried to slip through security with the secreted-away sub.

But when guards noticed the hoagie weighed a bit more than expected, they asked her to open it, and lo and behold, inside was a flask-sized bottle of Glen’s vodka.

“You hide it, we find it,” track officials wrote on Twitter.

Not content to let a good joke opportunity go past, the folks at Glens posted an image of a modified Bloody Mary garnished with slices of salami, that they dubbed, “The Salami Sizzler.”

“Think it’d do well on your bar menu @Southwell_Races??” the company wrote.

OSNABRUCK, Germany — Some people already feel like it’s a bit of a trip having Donald Trump as president, but for anyone feeling left out, these guys have you covered.

German police say they have seized thousands of orange-colored ecstasy pills molded in the shape of Donald Trump’s face.

Police in the north-western city of Osnabruck say they found the dope stashed in the trunk of a Peugeot being driven by a 51-year-old father and  his 17-year-old son from the Netherlands to Hanover.

Investigators say the drugs, which featured the president’s face on the front and his name etched on the back, was to be marketed under the slogan, “Trump makes partying great again.”

Authorities believe the Trump-themed drugs are being manufactured in Amsterdam to be shipped all over Europe.

Cops also found a large stash of cash in the car. They say the total value of the drugs and the cash amounted to $47,000.
