When cousins marry…
A Pakistani couple murdered their 4-month-old baby girl in a black magic ritual to get rich. They were apparently about to kill their toddler as well, when neighbors heard the screams and broke through the door. Fine idea, folks. Congrats on your success.

AMAZING translation at My Daily Global News.
Brazilian Roberto Carlos Magalhaes repeatedly stuck sewing needles into his 2-year-old former stepson, after drugging him with watered wine so he wouldn’t cry. And by “stuck” I mean INSERTED all the way and left them there. His new girlfriend (Angelina Ribeiro dos Santos) helped him come up with the idea, and Magalhaes “told detectives that dos Santos would enter into trances and give him commands to insert the needles”. Yes, their love was so healthy and normal that they tried to kill a toddler to get revenge on the child’s mother.
Their punishment should include having 30 or more rusty sewing needles stuck in their own bodies. Without wine to dull the pain.

Can you believe only 5 people wanted a Caylee doll? And if you didn’t get one already, you probably missed your chance. The Florida Attorney General has brought a lawsuit against their distributer. Apparently it’s illegal to claim that your proceeds will go to charity… and then renege.
Showbiz Promotions was also hawking Michael Vick chew toys for dogs. Customers never received their orders, and promised donations to animal shelters never materialized.

After starving Javon Thompson to death (he forgot to say “Amen” after his meal — clearly a demon child), his mother and other members of a Baltimore-area cult carried his remains around in a suitcase. If only they had enough faith, he’d be raised from the dead.
If little Javon is resurrected — Jesus-style only, reincarnation doesn’t count — charges against his mother will be dropped. Good luck with that.
Strange things do happen though. Like when Javon’s mother, Ria Ramkissoon, joined a CULT (1 Mind Ministries) lead by a woman calling herself Queen Antoinette. Kooky.

Charges have been filed against a Samoan woman who gave birth in an airplane lavatory, and put the baby in the trash bin. Geez, is it progress that she didn’t leave it in a dumpster?
Airport staff became suspicious when they noticed her blood-stained clothing as she tried to leave the airport in Auckland. (BBC)
Oh, and the baby LIVED!

Kimberly Dawn Trenor went on trial yesterday for the torture and murder of her 2-year-old daughter, Riley Ann Sawyers. After a brutal daylong lesson in “manners”, Riley was dead. She had been beaten with a belt, dunked under cold water, and flung across the room hard enough to fracture her skull. Oh, that will learn her.
Trener and her husband, Royce Clyde Zeigler II, put Riley’s body in a plastic container with some cement and stored it in a shed. In September 2007 they dumped the container in Galveston Bay. Instead of sinking, it washed up on a tiny island and was found a month later.
Too bad prosecutors aren’t seeking the death penalty for either parent.

The little baby’s remains that were found yesterday in Florida are probably Caylee Anthony. Prosecutors think this new evidence will lead to a conviction of Casey Anthony.
Turns out this “habitual liar” wasn’t such a good mother after all.

“The remains of a young child were discovered Thursday morning in a wooded area near the home of missing toddler Caylee Anthony’s grandparents” (ABC News)
It’s ALWAYS in a wooded area! It’s like the trees are creating dead bodies through spontaneous generation!
UP to the minute coverage from ABC News.
An Ohio woman who was convicted of killing her baby in a microwave has requested a new (third) trial. Denied.

Say I wanted to find out how to break someone’s neck. And I’d never taken an anatomy class or seen CSI. What can an idiot do?? Google it!
Mother of the Year candidate Casey Anthony (or someone with access to her household laptop) was Googling “neck breaking” and “household weapons”.
If you think no one would be stupid enough to use their own computer for these lame and incriminating searches, you haven’t been following the saga of Casey Anthony.
