Man Dies After Wild Sex Romp With A Transgender(Photos)



 A foreigner died in the early hours of Sunday morning, May 15th, after hitting his head on a wall during a wild romp with a ladyboy (pictured with the police above) in a Pattaya hotel.

 Ladyboy is a Thai term that refers to either a transgender woman or an effeminate gay male in Thailand.
 Authorities were alerted to the death at around 5am on Sunday morning and when they arrived at the second floor room of the short time hotel just off Walking Street. They found the naked body of an unidentified male, thought to be aged between 40-45, laid naked on the floor.


 Also present was a 22-year-old ladyboy from Buriram who told investigators the couple had met earlier on Walking Street and had agreed a fee of 3,000 baht for short time sex.

The unnamed ladyboy said the man was very drunk and rather wild when it came to doing the horizontal mambo. She said that during their moment of passion the man banged his head on the wall and fell to the floor.

The body was sent for autopsy and police are now trying to identify the man.

 Investigators said the man likely tripped due to his intoxicated state causing him to injure himself, however, they will await the results of the autopsy to determine the exact cause of death before questioning the ladyboy further.

House Of Representatives In Commotion Over Oil Subsidy Removal(See)



 The House of Representatives chambers was in chaos earlier today as members, split along party lines, are debating the new deregulation of the oil sector and the removal of oil subsidy that has led to the increase of the pump price of petrol from N86.50 to N145 per liter.

 PDP lawmakers are said to be angry with their APC counterparts for staging Occupy Nigeria protest in 2012 when the Goodluck Jonathan led government attempted to remove the oil subsidy.

 The lawmakers are expecting the Minister of state for Petroleum resources, Ibe Kachikwu, who they have summoned to appear before them to explain the reason behind the recent removal of oil subsidy.

This Woman Hired A Hitman To Kill Her Husband And Make It 'Look Like A Terrorist Attack'



 A 28-year old woman who hired a hitman to kill her husband and make it look like a terrorist attack has been jailed for soliciting to commit murder.

 Nurten Taycur(Pictured) of Hackney was sentenced at the Old Bailey on Friday May 13, to six year's imprisonment for hiring a person she believed to be a contract killer to murder her husband. 

Acting on intelligence received concerning Taycur, officers from the Met's Special Projects Team launched an operation to foil her murderous plans. 

Taycur met what she believed was a hitman six times between Friday, 13 November 2015 and Friday, 11 December 2015. The man was actually a undercover Metropolitan Police officer.

During her contact with the 'hitman', Taycur initially asked for her husband to be murdered, agreed a price and began planning her husband's death.

She also admitted to the undercover officer that she had been having an affair and wanted her husband dead so that she could be free of the marriage. 

 Taycur agreed to pay a sum of £5000 for the killing and supplied a down payment of £1000. She provided a photograph of the intended victim and details of his vehicle and registration number. 

 During her negotiations with the undercover officer, Taycur offered to be present when the murder took place and to track the victim using a mobile phone tracking app. She was very clear to request that he was not to be shot as she wanted the killing to look like a robbery or politically motivated attack related to her husband's Kurdish heritage. 

Taycur asked that her husband's throat be cut and the word 'ISIS' be daubed on the outside of his car as she believed this would disguise the motivation for the killing. 

Officers arrested mother-of-two, Nurten Taycur on Friday, 11 December 2015 on suspicion of conspiracy to murder. A search was made of her home and police seized £4000 found concealed in the bedroom, this being the amount of the balance owed for payment on completion of the killing. 

 The intended victim, Taycur's husband, was completely unaware of the plans being made to end his life. 

 Nurten Taycur , 28, pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey on Friday, 11 March and was remanded in custody to await sentencing. 

 Detective Inspector Paul Foreman of the Met's Special Projects Team said: 
"Nurten Taycur planned this murder with enthusiasm. She asked that the victim's body not be disposed of so that she could have 'a body to grieve over', this while insisting that her intended victim died a painful and terrifying death. Today's sentence reflects the callous and calculated nature of her actions and I hope the length of incarceration brings a measure of comfort to her intended victim who was totally unaware of her plot."
