A 29-year-old man has been found guilty of manslaughter after his girlfriend died while he claimed he was helping her with an intensive weight-loss routine.

The High Court jury, in a majority 5–2 verdict on Friday, acquitted Ng Ka-sing of murder but unanimously found him guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter over the death of his 30-year-old girlfriend, Yip Tsz-ching.

The tragic incident occurred four years ago at the couple’s 700-square-foot apartment in Galore Garden, Hung Shui Kiu.

During the trial, Ng maintained that he did not intend to kill Yip, insisting that her death was accidental and occurred while he was beating her as part of an extreme diet and fitness regimen aimed at helping her lose weight.

After hearing the evidence, the jury rejected the murder charge but concluded that Ng was criminally responsible for her death by convicting him of manslaughter.

Presiding judge, Mrs Justice Judianna Barnes, said the verdict indicated the jury accepted that Ng’s account may have been truthful that the death was not intentional but resulted from his actions during the weight-loss routine.

The judge also noted that Ng’s risk of committing a similar offence again appeared to be “extremely low.” However, she said the court would require additional information regarding his character before determining an appropriate sentence.

The case has been adjourned until Monday, when the court is expected to hear mitigation submissions before sentencing.

The media centre of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has sparked reactions on social media after sharing an AI-generated image of First Lady Remi Tinubu frying akara.

The image was released days after the First Lady encouraged Nigerians to embrace small businesses, including selling akara, roasting corn, selling tomatoes, and making or selling kuli-kuli as legitimate ways to earn a living.

Shortly after the AI-generated image was posted online, it attracted widespread attention, with many Nigerians taking to the comment section to criticize the social media handler behind the post.

A woman has become the first woman in Indonesia’s Aceh province to be publicly caned after being convicted under the region’s Sharia law over an incident involving a man during a TikTok livestream.

Images from the punishment show the woman crying out in pain as she was caned by a masked Sharia police officer before a crowd of onlookers.

According to reports, she was sentenced to 21 lashes after being found guilty under Aceh’s Islamic law.

During the punishment, the woman reportedly lost consciousness after the flogging became too much for her. Officials paused the caning and attended to her after she fainted.

It remains unclear how many of the 21 lashes had been carried out before she collapsed.

Dozens of people gathered to witness the public punishment, with some spectators reportedly urging the officers carrying out the sentence to “whip stronger.”

Aceh is the only province in Indonesia that enforces Sharia law, where certain offences can result in public caning as a form of punishment.

An 11-year-old boy, identified as Avory Woolery, has been praised as a hero after fearlessly diving into a swimming pool to rescue a man who was found unconscious underwater.

The incident occurred at an apartment complex pool in Lexington at around 8 p.m. on Wednesday, July 1.

According to Avory, he noticed the man lying unconscious beneath the water while others at the pool appeared unsure of what to do.

Recalling the dramatic rescue, he said:

“I was like, somebody’s gotta do something. No one was doing anything, so I put on my goggles. I went underwater. I grabbed him up.”

He added:

“There was no way that I was going to let another man die today. He’s a human being. He should be treated as such.”

After Avory pulled the man to the surface, another person at the pool helped drag the victim onto the pool deck.

The boy said the man’s friend immediately began performing CPR while others called emergency services.

“His friend, I believe, put him on the floor and started doing CPR on him to try and save him the best he could, until somebody called 911,” Woolery recalled.

The Lexington Fire Department said the man was transported to a hospital in serious condition but did not release further details about his injuries.

As of Friday, July 3, his condition had not been publicly updated.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stirred reactions on social media after playfully referring to his wife, First Lady Remi Tinubu, as “Iya Alakara” (Mama Akara Seller) during a public event.

The President made the remark on Thursday, July 2, while speaking at the Presidential Press Corps Dinner held at the State House in Abuja.

His comment comes just days after the First Lady trended online over remarks she made while encouraging Nigerians to embrace small businesses.

During her speech, Remi Tinubu advised Nigerians to consider ventures such as selling akara, roasting corn, selling tomatoes, and making or selling kuli-kuli as legitimate means of earning a living.

Making a light-hearted reference to her earlier comments, President Tinubu jokingly called her “Iya Alakara,” a remark that drew laughter from guests at the event and has since generated mixed reactions on social media.

A 69-year-old woman has been rescued alive after spending three days trapped beneath the rubble of a building that collapsed during the devastating earthquake in Venezuela.

The survivor, identified as Marlene Santana, was pulled from the debris after rescue teams, assisted by a sniffer dog, located her beneath the remains of the four-storey building.

Shortly after being rescued, Marlene reportedly asked for a Coca-Cola.

Speaking from her hospital bed, she recounted the ordeal, saying:

“They brought me water through one of those little hoses.

“It was the most delicious water in the world.

“They asked me what else I wanted. I told them a Pepsi-Cola, a Coca-Cola.

“But honestly, I didn’t mean it as something I truly needed at that moment – I had just already had that water.

“When I raised my hand and felt around, it was a very tight space. I kept touching the sides.

“I couldn’t tell if it was a wall or wood. I couldn’t make it out because there was no light, nothing at all.”

Doctors said Marlene sustained a head injury but survived the collapse despite spending three days trapped beneath the wreckage.

She said she believes she was trapped in what appeared to be the kitchen area of the building.

Marlene also revealed that her husband was inside the house when it collapsed, but she has not received any information about his whereabouts.

She added:

“I told them: I can’t go on any more, because I’m badly injured underneath, my back. I can’t.

“They said to me, ‘Marlene, make one more effort.’”

“There were moments when I thought I wasn’t going to make it out, because I felt like I was running out of air.”

Expressing concern for her loved ones, she said:

“My daughter lived on the second floor. I don’t know anything about her.

“I don’t know anything about my husband. I don’t know anything about my sister.”

Rescue efforts continue in affected areas as authorities search for more survivors following the devastating earthquake.

Archaeologists in northeastern France have uncovered ancient ceramic jars containing at least 25,000 bronze and copper Roman coins dating back to the 3rd century CE.

The remarkable discovery was made during a routine excavation carried out by archaeologists from France’s National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research (INRAP), covering an area of approximately 1,500 square metres.

In addition to the coin-filled jars, the excavation has revealed important clues about the history of Senon, showing how the settlement evolved from a Gallic village into a prosperous Roman town before eventually being destroyed by fire.

At the deepest layers of the site, archaeologists uncovered traces of early buildings, including pits, ditches, and postholes that once supported wooden walls and clay structures.

The remains date back to the mid-2nd century BCE, when the area was inhabited by the Mediomatrici, a Celtic people whose capital was Divodurum Mediomatricorum, now known as Metz in modern-day France.

Following the Roman conquest of Gaul under Julius Caesar, the settlement entered a period of significant growth.

Archaeologists identified more than a dozen small limestone quarries, some reaching nearly three metres in depth, which were dug behind homes. These quarries were later repurposed as storage spaces and for other domestic uses, supporting centuries of construction and development.

By the late 1st century CE, the newly excavated section of Senon had developed into an organized Roman neighbourhood. Researchers uncovered two paved streets lined with stone houses featuring lime-coated floors, hypocaust heating systems, ovens, and underground cellars.

Courtyards located behind many of the homes appear to have been used as workshops, suggesting that the area was home to skilled artisans and merchants.

The quality of the buildings and the everyday objects recovered from the site indicate that many of Senon’s residents enjoyed a relatively comfortable standard of living during the Roman era.

Archaeologists believe the discovery offers valuable insight into daily life, urban development, and economic activity in Roman Gaul.

A Nigerian woman who recently returned from South Africa has shared her experience of living in the country, describing the challenges she said she faced as a foreign national.

Speaking in an interview with TheCable, Ilugbadebo Oyebola said she spent 11 years in South Africa, adding that the experience was traumatic for her and her family.

According to Oyebola, one of the most painful experiences occurred when she was admitted to a South African hospital to give birth.

She alleged that after delivering her baby, a nurse instructed her to clean up the blood despite the fact that she was still suffering from heavy bleeding after childbirth.

Oyebola claimed the treatment changed after the nurse realized she was a foreigner and could not speak the local language.

She also said her children experienced discrimination at school because they were not South African citizens.

Reflecting on her return to Nigeria, Oyebola expressed gratitude to the Nigerian government and everyone involved in facilitating the repatriation of Nigerians from South Africa.

She described her return home as a life-changing opportunity and said she was thankful for the support she received.

An emotional video has captured the moment a Malawian father broke down in tears at the Old Durban Drive-In site in South Africa, where foreign nationals are being accommodated as part of ongoing repatriation arrangements.

The father is among several migrants currently awaiting processing and return to Malawi following relocation procedures linked to immigration enforcement operations.

Speaking emotionally about his situation, he said:

“No house. No mattress. No promise of tomorrow. Just a father, and a baby who does not understand why they are here.”

He explained that he had travelled to South Africa in search of better job opportunities and a means to provide for his family.

However, he is now preparing to return to Malawi with only his young child and a few personal belongings.
