www.dailymail.co.uk, March 11, 2024
After detectives travelled to Trinidad to interview her murderer, Muriel McKay's family has slammed the Metropolitan Police for failing to find out where she was buried.

Hosein, on the other hand, was 'unable to provide a location with any consistency' after being taken 'into detention for interviews.'

As I sob, a knock knock knock at the door and scrubs men in scrubs arrive to me on the psychiatric unit. However, mental illness is not a sign of wealth or class, as this revealing confession has shown

'Have you any detailed plans to commit suicide?' Madame is the kind psychiatric nurse in the University College Hospital, London. It's the third Tuesday in January, and the mental illness that has engulfed me since the start of November has stifled. I've awakened the deepest mood I've ever had, as well as the knowledge that I won't live through the day. I'm not sure I want to do it. My GP's bitter cup of antidepressants and sedatives isn't working. As I have started to identify my illness and tormentor, I can't cope with another 12 hours of life by side with 'It.' I called Sarah to tell her that I do not want to go on. I'm curious if I'd thrown myself down the stairs, but I'm worried about getting a paraplegic. I'm sure I won't be able to hang myself because I adore the feeling of choking.

A look at some of the theories surrounding the ten-year-old mystery: hijacking, murder-suicide, or shot down by the United States as Malaysia considers funding a new hunt for missing MH370

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 4, 2024
The Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 vanished shortly after taking off on March 8, 2014, killing 239 people on board. Now, ten years later, one of the world's biggest aviation disasters remains one of the biggest mysteries of our time, with no probe leading to a definitive answer to the plane's passengers or crew. The most consistent theory has focused on pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah (left), but others believe the plane was hijacked, suffered a firmware malfunction (bottom right), or was shot down by the US government (top right). A multinational team conducted the biggest research in aviation history, but there were no clues and the operation was suspended in January 2017. Ocean Infinity, a US-based marine robotics firm, found nothing during a private search in 2018. Following Ocean Infinity's announcement of a 'no find, no fee' search of the Southern Indian Ocean off the coast of Australia, the Malaysian government has rallied support behind a new search for the missing plane this week.

How has Putin ended up being interviewed by one of America's biggest journalists and allowed to spout his propaganda? It's a spectacular coup for the former Fox News host, as well as perfect timing for Vladimir

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 9, 2024
Tucker Carlson, the Fox News anchor, recovered his feet quickly after being fired from his position last year after a rumors about his demise with media mogul Rupert Murdoch. Elon Musk, the founder of Twitter, gave him a special platform to launch his own talk show, and Carlson quickly agreed to millions of viewers. However, few would have predicted that just months after leaving one of America's most influential news outlets, the outspoken and opinionated Republican journalist would be speaking with none other than Vladimir Putin. Despite most Western media outlets' sending hundreds of calls to the Kremlin for a sit-down with its long-serving CEO, it was the first one-on-one interview of Putin by someone from Western media since 2019. Their talk was certainly eye-opening, and it is unquestionably one of the best opportunities for non-Russian speakers in the West to hear Putin speak at length. However, the interview was also released at a opportune time for the Russian President to spin his tightly controlled narrative on the benefits of "denazifying Ukraine" for a variety of reasons.
