Investigators determined that Lora and Sloane died in homicides, while David’s death was ruled a suicide. Authorities have not disclosed how long the three had been dead before they were discovered.

The investigation began on October 1 after police received a request to conduct a welfare check on the residents. Officers were unable to locate anyone at the property, prompting further inquiries into the family’s whereabouts.

Police eventually gained entry into the home shortly before 6 p.m. the following day, where they discovered the three bodies.

Lora and Sloane were found in separate bedrooms, while David was discovered elsewhere inside the home with a gun still in his hand, prosecutors said.

The three family members were pronounced dead at the $1.75 million property.

“The investigation, which remains ongoing, has yielded that the homicide de@ths of both Lora and Sloane Grodnick were an isolated incident and there are no threats to the public from this tragic occurrence,” Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office said on Tuesday, October 6.

David Grodnick was a senior vice president and underwriting counsel for Land Services USA, a Philadelphia-based insurance agency that works on commercial real estate transactions across the country, according to the Montgomery News.

He earned a degree in business administration from the University of Miami and a BA in English from McDaniel College, where he also played lacrosse.

His daughter, Sloane, attended The Hun School, a private boarding school in Princeton, before graduating from the Savannah College of Art and Design. She was pursuing a master’s degree at the Rhode Island School of Design.

The family had previously lived in Princeton before moving to Montgomery Township. They were also members of the Bedens Brook Country Club in Skillman and TPC Jasna Polana, a private club in Princeton.

The circumstances surrounding the deaths remain under investigation, although authorities have said there is no ongoing threat to the public.

“It is with a broken heart that I share that my beloved husband, Jim Bakker, went home to be with the Lord this evening.

For 66 years, Jim gave his life to preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He was a pioneer of Christian television, but to me, he was my husband, my best friend, and the man I was honored to walk beside through so many seasons of life and ministry.

Jim loved people deeply. He loved this ministry, and he loved the friends and partners who stood with him throughout the years. Even in his final days, his heart was still for the work of God and for the Gospel to continue reaching the world.

Our family is grieving and we ask for your prayers and privacy during this time.

Jim finished his race with faith. His voice, his vision, and his legacy will never be forgotten.

A 117-year-old woman from Albania, Ćamile Mara, could be in line to become the world’s oldest living person after claims emerged that she was born two days before the current record holder.

Follow Our WhatsApp Channel here

According to the information shared, Ćamile was born on August 19, 1909, while current title holder Ethel Caterham was born on August 21, 1909, meaning Mara could be older by two days if her records are successfully verified.

Ethel Caterham became the world’s oldest verified living person following the death of Inah Canabarro Lucas on April 30, 2025.

The British woman became the first person from Britain to reach the age of 117 and is currently recognised as the last validated person born before 1910.

However, Guinness World Records will need to examine Mara’s documents before any change can be made to the title. Until then, Ethel Caterham remains the officially recognised world’s oldest living person.

The discovery was reportedly made by TV journalist Blendi Fevziu, who said he plans to examine Mara’s baptism certificate and identity documents.

If the documents support her claimed date of birth, Fevziu plans to submit the evidence to Guinness World Records for verification.

He said: “The world’s oldest person lives in Albania.

“She was born 117 years and 39 days ago.”

Mara’s family has also spoken about the difficulties they have faced in proving her age. According to her relatives, officials once temporarily withheld her pension in 2023 while checks were carried out over her age.

Her son was required to present a formal proof-of-life certificate to authorities in Berat before the matter was resolved.

The Social Security Institute later explained that the delay was part of routine checks carried out on pensioners aged over 100, and her payment was eventually issued.

Despite receiving the pension, Mara’s son said the money is still not enough to cover her medical treatment and basic needs.

He also revealed that he cannot afford to provide additional financial support, while her other children have reportedly left the country.

If Mara’s birth records are successfully verified, her case could lead to a major change in the race for the title of the world’s oldest living person.

US President Donald Trump has approved the execution of former US Army psychiatrist Nidal Malik Hasan by firing squad over the 2009 Fort Hood mass shooting in Texas.

Hasan was sentenced to death by a military jury in 2013 after being convicted of killing 13 people and injuring more than two dozen others in the attack.

The execution, if carried out, would be the first by the US military since 1961.

The approval was announced by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a post on X:

“President Donald J. Trump has approved death by U.S. Army firing squad for convicted terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan,” Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a post on X.

“The Secretary of the Army will set the time and place of the execution. Judgement day for Hasan has finally come,” Parnell wrote.

Hasan was sentenced to death in 2013 after a military jury found him guilty of carrying out the deadly attack at Fort Hood.

During his trial, Hasan chose to represent himself. He did not call witnesses, give testimony or attempt to deny the charges. His court-appointed defense attorneys had previously expressed concerns that he appeared to be seeking the death penalty.

Hasan, a US-born Muslim of Palestinian descent, opened fire on November 5, 2009, at a medical facility inside Fort Hood, a major US military installation that served as a staging point for troops preparing for deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.

Thirteen people were killed in the attack, while more than 30 others were wounded. Twelve of those killed and 30 of the wounded were soldiers.

Hasan was shot by a civilian police officer who responded to the scene and was left partially paralysed as a result of his injuries.

The former Army psychiatrist had opposed the US military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. He had also communicated online with Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical cleric who was linked to Al-Qaeda and was later killed in a US drone strike in Yemen.

The latest decision brings Hasan’s long-running death sentence closer to being carried out, with the Secretary of the Army expected to determine the date and location of the execution.

Florida TikToker Mark Stephen Asea, who describes himself online as a “demonologist” and “Grey Hat Hacker,” has been arrested after authorities accused him of accessing and exposing women’s private information on social media.

The 36-year-old was booked into the St. Lucie County Jail on September 30 on a felony charge involving an offense against computer users. His bond was set at $35,000, according to sheriff’s office records.

The arrest follows a criminal case that had previously been closed before prosecutors brought a new computer-access charge against him.

Asea was initially arrested in April over stalking and computer-related allegations. Those charges were dropped by prosecutors in May, before a new charge relating to unauthorized computer access was filed in September, according to court records.

Police documents describe complaints from two women who claimed their private information later appeared in Asea’s TikTok content.

In one case, investigators said Asea posted details about a woman’s electronic devices and appeared to claim knowledge of her recent online purchases.

“Let’s talk about your actual password,” he said, according to the police affidavit.

“How about we talk about the last 10 purchases you made online?”

The woman reportedly told investigators that the password had only been shared in a private TikTok group chat. She said Asea was not a member of the group, although she suspected he could have accessed it through a fake account.

She also told police that nobody in the group had permission to share the information outside the chat and said she did not know how Asea could have obtained her phone identification number or banking information.

Another woman reportedly told investigators that her concerns began after she sought technical assistance from Asea.

According to the complaint, she allowed him to remotely access her computer in October 2025 while he helped troubleshoot an application. Months later, she claimed Asea told her that he had placed a virus on the computer while she was away from it, which he allegedly said allowed him to view information without her knowledge.

The woman said she had never authorized such access.

Investigators also examined a photograph from a private Telegram conversation that later appeared in one of Asea’s TikTok posts.

According to the affidavit, Asea claimed in a comment that the image came from a WhatsApp conversation. However, the woman reportedly provided police with a screenshot showing that the photograph had originally been sent through a private Telegram message.

Police also documented comments in which Asea appeared to discuss locating the woman through her phone.

“Thanks to the GPS within her phone, but what did I do?” he said in the video, according to the affidavit.

Investigators said Asea published more than 100 TikTok videos mentioning one of the women, sometimes uploading as many as six videos in a single day.

Authorities also said he obtained a website where he posted a photograph of the woman getting a tattoo.

Asea’s TikTok biography identifies him as a “Demonologist,” “Clairsentient,” “Empath,” “PTSD,” “Grey Hat Hacker” and “Woodsman.”

An earlier biography documented in the April police affidavit also described him as a “former satanist” and “cybersecurity engineer.”

The case comes after Asea was also involved in a separate civil stalking protection case during the summer.

A woman obtained a temporary injunction against him in July. However, the judge later dissolved the injunction and dismissed the case on September 8.

Prosecutors reopened the criminal matter on September 24 and filed the current charge involving unauthorized access to a computer or electronic device.

Court records cited in the case do not explain why

Rose Okon has been sentenced to six months in prison by a Magistrate Court in Imo State after she pleaded guilty to assaulting her 14-year-old niece, whom she was caring for.

The case was heard before Chief Magistrate C.J. Nkwoada, who sentenced Okon after she admitted to the offence when she was arraigned by the police.

According to the charge sheet, the incident occurred on September 19 at about 6pm in Umuneke, Ngor Okpala, within the Ngor Okpala Magisterial District.

The charge read: “that you Rose Okon F, on the 19th of September at 1800 hrs at Umuneke, Ngor Okpala in the Ngor Okpala Magisterial district did assault one Favour Emmanuel, 14 years by pouring hot water on her head and body, which caused her grievous harm and thereby committed an offence punishable under section 355 of the Criminal Code Cap C38 laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004 as applicable in Imo State of Nigeria.”

During the proceedings, the prosecution counsel, Sampson Obodo, presented photographs showing the injuries suffered by the teenager.

He also tendered statements made to the police by the complainant and the victim, as well as a statement from the Stand For Humanity Foundation, the human rights organisation that initiated the process leading to Okon’s arrest.

Before passing sentence, the court gave Okon an opportunity to plead for mercy. She asked the court to have mercy on her.

Her lawyer, Innocent Onyekwere, also appealed to the court to be lenient when sentencing his client.

Okon was arrested following a petition filed by the Stand For Humanity Foundation over the incident.

The organisation’s president, Chidiebube Okeoma, led more than 20 members to the court on Friday and spoke to journalists about the case.

Okeoma, a journalist and child rights advocate, said the organisation initiated the arrest to remind members of the public that child abuse is a punishable offence under the law.

He added that the conviction and six-month prison sentence should serve as a lesson to people who abuse children.

A 35-year-old Texas mother, identified as Cibelle Savella, has died after police said she shot her 4-year-old daughter, Vivian, before turning the gun on herself hours after a custody hearing involving the child.

According to reports, Cibelle was expected to hand Vivian over to her former husband, Aaron Savella, after a judge placed the child in his primary care during a custody hearing on Tuesday.

Houston Police Lieutenant Larry Crowson described the events that followed the hearing, saying:

“There was a custody hearing earlier today that didn’t go well for the mother.

“She came home, shot her 4-year-old, and then shot herself.”

Police said the incident happened at Cibelle’s Houston home. She and her daughter were both taken to hospital, but Cibelle later died from her injuries.

The tragedy came after a lengthy custody dispute between Cibelle and Aaron, who divorced in 2024 after four years of marriage.

Reports stated that the latest custody decision came about eight hours before the shooting.

Under the reported court order, Vivian was placed in her father’s primary care. Cibelle was also restricted from speaking Portuguese with her daughter unless a supervisor present could speak the language.

The court order reportedly also prevented her from attending Vivian’s school performances and extracurricular activities. She was ordered to pay child support and cover half of the child’s out-of-pocket medical expenses.

The reason Cibelle faced the restrictions was not immediately clear from the available reports.

Following the tragedy, Vivian’s relatives released an emotional statement describing the young girl and the impact of her death on the family.

They said:

“Vivian was 4 years old. She was loved without limit by her father, Aaron, and by everyone whose life she touched. There are no words for what has been taken from us.

“Aaron did everything the law asks of a parent who is trying to protect his child. He trusted the courts.

“He followed every order. He waited for the process to work. On Tuesday, a judge placed Vivian in his primary care, and she was supposed to come home to him that evening. She never did.”

Charlotte Rainwater, the lawyer who represented Aaron Savella, also expressed shock over the outcome.

She said:

“the family is devastated by this outcome,”

Rainwater added:

“I’ve been practicing family law for 28 years and have never experienced anything like this.

“I don’t think anyone in this courtroom on Tuesday contemplated this could be the outcome.”
