CrimeTexas Teen Commits Suicide After Shooting His Mom And Two Neighbors by leeyack(op): 9:51am On Feb 08, 2016
A 19-year-old boy, Dylan Westerburg has gunned down his 42-year-old mother and two neighbours before turning the gun on himself and pulling the trigger.

This incident happened in their home near Uvalde, about 85 miles west of San Antonio in Texas. Authorities arrived at the scene after a teenage witness called them.

Uvalde County Sheriff, Charlie Mendeke has confirmed the incident. He said Dylan Westerburg shot his mother Friday afternoon in their home and then went next door and killed two brothers, Authur Norton and Phinny Norton before killing himself. Westerburg lived with his mother in a small cabin about 20 yards from the Norton’s mobile home on the brothers’ property.

Investigators haven’t established a clear motive for the shootings.

Mandeke said 60-year-old Phinny had some sort of romantic relationship with Westerburg’s mother, Jennifer Diane Jacques. Deputies had been called in times past to the brother’s property because of domestic dispute, but nothing violent as this.


When officers arrived the scene and heard another gunshot they started evacuating people nearby because they weren’t sure if there were multiple gunmen or whether the gunman was dead.

It was during that search that they found Jacques’ body. The family’s dog had also been killed.

Mendeke said he called in about 50 to 60 officers from different agencies as well as a Texas Department of Public Safety SWAT team out of caution. Authorities closed the road leading to the property and they stayed there overnight.

On Saturday afternoon, the SWAT team eventually entered the Nortons’ mobile home and found the corpses of the Norton brothers and Westerburg. “Westerburg had shot himself in the head”, reported Mandeke.

CrimeWoman Walks In On Own Funeral To Confront Husband Who Hired Hitmen To Kill Her by leeyack(op): 9:17pm On Feb 05, 2016
Noela Rukundo, gave her ex-husband, Balenga Kalala, the shock of his life by turning up to her own funeral, after he had contacted hitmen to have her killed while they were still married.

Noela had met Kalala 11 years ago after she arrived in Australia from Burundi. He was then a refugee from the Democratic Republic of Congo, and they had the same social worker at the resettlement agency that helped them get on their feet.
Since Kalala already knew English, their social worker often recruited him to translate for Noela, who spoke Swahili. They fell in love, moved in together in the Melbourne suburb of Kings Park, and had three children (Noela also had five kids from a previous relationship).

She learned more about her husband’s past that he had fled a rebel army that had ransacked his village, killing his wife and young son. She also learned more about his character.

Problem started when she had returned to Burundi, her birth country, from her home in Melbourne, Australia, to attend her stepmother’s funeral and she lodged in a hotel. She told BBC that she had lost the last person who she called “mother”.

Noela said she had retreated to her hotel room at early hours of the evening and as she lay dozing in the muggy heat, she received a call from her husband in Australia.

“He says he’d been trying to get me for the whole day,” Noela says. “I said I was going to bed. He told me, ‘To bed? Why are you sleeping so early? I say, ‘I’m not feeling happy’. And he asks me, ‘How’s the weather? Is it very, very hot?’ He told me to go outside for fresh air.” Noela took his advice. “I didn’t think anything. I just thought that he cared about me, that he was worried about me.” But moments after stepping outside the hotel compound, Noela found herself in danger.

6months after 22-year-old Ndifreke Joseph Clement murdered his 23-year-old cousin Ubong Edet over a girl, he has decided to surrender himself to the police because he was disturbed by sleepless nights and traumatic experiences.

Clement, a native of Akon Itam, Itu Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State, who handed himself over to police at Ikot Akpan Abia, Uyo, said he slashed his cousin’s throat after beating him to coma because Edet slept with his girlfriend in August 2015. He told Vanguard:

“I cannot remember the exact date now, but it occurred in a night in August 2015 in the one room apartment we shared. On that day, I returned from work to meet the door locked. I knocked on the door and waited for over five minutes before my cousin could come to open the door. When I went into the room, I saw my girlfriend weeping and blood running from her nostrils. I asked her what happened and she said Ubong beat, wounded and forcefully had sex with her. But after opening the door for me, Ubong went away and did not come back until very late in the night.

PUNCH Metro learnt that Grace who hails from Cross River State had left her Ikeja office for Ihuoma’s house on January 1, 2016, her whereabouts had since then been shrouded in mystery.

Grace was said to be working in the hospitality department of Arik Air. The case was reported at the Ojodu Police Division and Ihuoma was arrested. It was learnt that a mobile phone and a handbag belonging to the victim were found in his apartment on the day Grace went missing. He was released after police said there was nothing to connect him with the disappearance of Grace.

An uncle of the victim, Felix Omini, explained that the family became worried after her mother called one of her phone lines and a stranger picked the call and said the phone was missing and its owner had called him and said she and a man would be coming to retrieve the phone. Thereafter, Grace’s mother called her boyfriend, Ihuoma, thinking he was the man the stranger was referring to, but he said he had also been trying to reach her without success.

Omini said he had called Ihuoma and together they went to report the matter at the police station.

The victim’s father, Obongha Utum, said Grace and Amelogu are church members and have been dating for three years. They are church members and were supposed to have been married; but that became impossible after they discovered their genotypes were not compatible. He said.

Ihuoma who is a Civil Engineer said: “We were together on December 31, 2015; she slept at my place. She sometimes stayed at my place because her office in Ikeja is closer to my house in Ojodu Berger. She rented an apartment in Agbado Crossing, Ogun State. Around 6am on January 1, she said she was going to the office. We always had a family reunion every New Year at my uncle’s place in Ajah, so we planned to meet there. I spoke with her around 12 noon. Then around 3pm, when I was at my uncle’s place, we communicated again and I asked if she was still coming. She said she was rounding off at the office and would soon join me. Her line, however, became unreachable around 5pm and despite calling till 7pm, I couldn’t get through to her”.

AutosHow To Intstall A Reverse Camera by leeyack(op): 9:22pm On Feb 02, 2016
The safety features offered by a reverse camera, also known as a backup camera and back view camera, are so enormous. This gives the driver a clear view of the back end of their vehicle, including hidden spots. A rearview camera can help prevent property damage, keep small children and pets out of harms way, and even makes it easier to park. However, most old model vehicles don’t have a reverse camera, which requires owners to purchase and run the installation on their own. This process is a relatively simple which involves the installation of three distinct system components. Below are steps on how to install this separate components.

Car TalkHow To Know A Bad Sway Bar Link by leeyack(op): 11:55pm On Jan 31, 2016
A sway or stabilizer bar is a component that prevents the car body from leaning excessively and keeps the vehicle stable during driving in turns. Most vehicles have one sway bar in the front and yet another bar in the rear suspension while some cars have only one sway bar in the front suspension. Sports cars actually do have thicker sway bars that offers better stability when taking a corner. A sway bar is connected through rubber bushings to the vehicle frame in the middle. The outer ends of the sway bar are attached to the parts of the car suspension that holds the wheel (struts or control arm system). This component that links the outer ends of the sway bar to the suspension component is called a sway bar link

Car TalkHow To Know Bad Drive Shaft by leeyack(op): 7:32pm On Jan 31, 2016
A cars’ drive shaft-the rotating object placed between the differentials and gear box. This helps it switch from idle to drive; without which a vehicle would hardly move. Normally, a drive shaft does not fail instantaneously, but deteriorates and fails over time. Thus, if drive shaft problems are diagnosed early, costly repairs could be avoided. There are various symptoms that indicate if your vehicle’s drive shaft is faulty.
Vibration
A damaged drive shaft can cause a vibrating car. The entire vehicle or some components of it especially the car flour may shake vibrate and tremble, and this vibration increases with speed. Some vibrations however can also indicate a bad tire but vibrations from tire problems usually happen during acceleration. Whereas drive shaft issues cause vibration when the vehicle is moving or stationary.

The steering stabilizer is like shock absorber positioned horizontally in the front suspension of a car, truck or SUV. This is used to reduce harmonic vibrations in the suspension system. As with the regular shock absorbers, the steering stabilizer has a hydraulic fluid chamber that absorbs all the forces exerted on it, thus reducing the vibration transference. If this fluid leaks because of a failed seal, there would be a failure of the steering stabilizer and replacement would be needed. Checking a steering stabilizer for signs of failure is simple and can be done by anybody in a matter of minutes. To proceed foll

Car TalkHow To Fix Radiator Fan Issues by leeyack(op): 3:22pm On Jan 25, 2016
Electric radiator-fan motors are turned on either by the ignition switch and will continue rotating while the engine is working – or by a thermostatic switch.
Motors controlled by thermostat do not signal the fan to run until the engine rises above normal operating temperature, and would then switch off the fan when it has cooled down again.
To ascertain if the fan is working, listen for it cutting in and out, and be checking the temperature gauge.
However if the engine shows signs of overheating, pull over and look to see if the fan is functioning. When checking for this, be sure to keep your engine running if your car is operated by the ignition switch.
But where there is a thermostatic switch in the circuit, keep the car on and let it run at fast idle. Without air flowing through the radiator, it will soon warm the engine up to the temperature at which the fan should start fanning.
The fan assembly usually has but three components – fan motor, thermostatic switch, and relay. If the fan is not working, the faults may be from these units and or the wiring to them may be faulty… Here are steps on how to repair the fault

Car TalkSymptoms Of Bad Flywheel by leeyack(op): 10:17pm On Jan 24, 2016
The physics in the clutch system is that that the driver depresses the clutch pedal, engages the gear or changes the gear releases the pedal, when increases the speed. This makes for a smooth transition into the already moving vehicle. The clutch starts by allowing the engine power to be given gradually at the start of a vehicle and interrupts the power without having to grinding gears during gear shifting.
Depressing the clutch allows the engine’s power to be transferred to the transmission and drive wheels. Depressing the clutch ceases the power transfer and lets the engine continue rotating without the urge to move the wheels. Basically the clutch system is comprised of the flywheel, clutch disc, pressure plate, throw-out bearing and linkage while some other hydraulic

The ignition distributor plays a pivotal role in the ignition system. Its basic functions start with triggering the firing of the ignition coil, controlling timing advance, and routing or distributing the coil’s high voltage output to each spark plugs.
In the case of older applications with breaker point ignition systems, the contact points are made to turn the ignition coil’s primary voltage on and off. This are mounted on a flexible plate in the distributor unit or housing. Cam lobes mounted on the distributor shaft turn against a plastic block on the breaker points to open and close the points.

the lubrication system is most important to the “health” of your engine. Vehicles use two methods to check this lubrication system: the light and the gauge. Some modern cars have both. The light is supposed to come on right before you start your car and goes off soon after the engine starts running.so if the light ceases to come on, it means there is either a sensor problem or a burned out bulb. A gauge should start reading at zero then rise up to at least 1/4 of the gage range on startup. However what do you do if you oil pressure light comes on and or the gauge falls below 5PSI

Car Talk7 Car Signs You Should Not Ignore by leeyack(op): 12:13pm On Jan 24, 2016
7 Car Signs You Should Not Ignore

A Slapping Noise
This kind of indicates a dying tire. Its tread is separating from the body of the tire. it may turn into a giant steel-reinforced Weed Eater. It can cause massive. This could cause severe damage to the body and cars framework. Ignoring this kind of sound is doing your car a disservice.


Pancake- Syrup-like smell
This kind of sweet scent emanating from the engine most likely signals problem with the cars cooling system. The smell and sweet taste of most automotive antifreeze/coolant issues from its ethelyne glycol.the leak source could range from an old, cracked, worn or ruptured radiator hose to a water pump on about to shut down. Ignoring this could get the car overheating.

Fluid under your car
A shallow droplets under your car can mean signal a problem. When you notice fluid under your car, try noting its color and and supposed location under the car. Get the fluid on your finger, rub it a bit between your fingers and smell it. In most cases, its often water issuing from the air-conditioning condenser. If the color is clear and oily then it’s probably power steering fluid, check for leakage around the pump or power steering rack but If it’s darker, slippery, and it’s within a recent oil change session, it could be a droplets of clean oil dropping from the fact that either the mechanic damaged the oil drain plug or the oil filter wasn’t properly installed.


Reddish and other Kinds of fluid droppings
Reddish-brown fluid and a lightly oily feel is your automatic transmission showing that there might be a bad seal puncture in the line running to the Trans cooler. Additionally, if the ATF fluid also has a burnt smell, it could indicate that the transmission probably need an overhaul. If there is an oily fluid on the inside sidewall of your tire, that’s most likely leaking brake fluid. Lost brake fluid could be because of air in the brake lines and could mean almost zero braking power. This should be corrected immediately.


Whining noise
This kind of high-pitched whining noise or squealing emanating from the engine bay and increases with engine speed is often an accessory belt about to park up. Since modern cars today have only one belts turning myriad devices including power steering, water pump, air conditioning compressor, and alternator, a broken belt could mean a complete shutdown of the car. However if the high-pitch squeal occurs when you tap the brake lightly while at speed, then it is that the brake pads or shoes are all worn out. This squeal emanates from a tab of metal built into the pad that gets exposed as material wears out. If the noise changes or disappears, visit your mechanic.


Grinding Noise
If the squealing noise is ignored brakes and they go silent, the next noise that would occur from them is a powerful grinding. The last of the pad has been completely worn and the metal backing plate is now clamping directly onto the brake disc. Braking effectiveness is greatly reduced and the car is now in grave danger and your repair bill would go up, too as the discs will need to be replaced as well. However if you hear a grinding, clicking, or rumbling noise when you take a tight turn, it’s likely a worn out constant-velocity joint on a front-wheel-drive car. A CV joint makes the front wheels to both receive power and turn. Ignoring this for a long time could result in your car CV joint pulling out.
