    Copenhagen, June 11, 2024  (dpa/NAN)  A man in Denmark has been sentenced to life imprisonment and subsequent preventive detention after stabbing a heavily pregnant woman to death in 2016, the district court in Glostrup announced the sentence.
    The now 30-year-old man is said to have stabbed the woman 11 times with a knife in a park near Copenhagen and then cut off a piece of her nose, according to the court’s statement.
    The man denied the crime and his defence lawyer said that he would appeal against the judgement.
    The murder weapon has still not been found and there is no technical evidence such as fingerprints or DNA to prove the man’s guilt.
    In 2020, the police deployed an undercover investigator as a cellmate of the suspect, who was serving a prison sentence for the attempted murder of his ex-girlfriend.
    The undercover investigator recorded the man describing how he had killed the pregnant woman, which contributed to the court’s decision to find him guilty.   (dpa/NAN)(www.nannews.ng)

    Jakarta, June 8, 2024 (dpa/NAN) A 45-year-old woman was killed by a five-metre python while returning from her garden in Indonesia’s South Sulawesi province, local media reported on Saturday.

    The woman, a resident of Sidenreng Rappang district, had told her husband on Thursday she was going to sell chilies to a collector.

    When she failed to return, her husband and relatives initiated a search, village head Suardi Rosi said.

    The next morning, a python was discovered near the woman’s abandoned belongings, Rosi said.

    Villagers, accustomed to the presence of these formidable predators, killed the snake and cut it open, revealing the woman’s body inside, the village head said. (dpa/NAN) (www.nannews.ng)
