The robber wore a similar clown mask during Saturday’s attack.

BEACON TRANSCRIPT – Florida authorities responded to a shooting on Saturday night near the Holy Hill Little Caesars restaurant. An identified male wearing a clown mask was found unresponsive in the restaurant’s parking lot. He died at the hospital later that day.

Robber with Chilling Clown Masked Attacked Employee with Wooden Post and Scissors

On Saturday, at 11:50 p.m., Florida authorities responded to a shooting near the Little Caesars restaurant. According to the police, the caller told the emergency operator that he was attacked by an individual who was wearing a Halloween mask.

Heriberto Feliciano, 28, a Little Caesars employee, told the investigators that he was just about to close the restaurant when he saw a man approaching him.

The individual allegedly picked up a wooden post and struck Feliciano repeatedly. While the man was down on the ground, the assailant attempted to stab him with a pair of scissors.

Fortunately, Feliciano reached for his concealed weapon and shot his aggressor. According to the victim’s testimony, Feliciano shot the man with the clown mask four or five times at close range.

He then went to his car, placed the firearm on the trunk, and contacted the authorities. The surveillance footage, later made public, shows the individual circling the restaurant before picking out the wooden post and striking Feliciano.

Conclusion

According to the authorities, the video recording confirms that Feliciano was acting in self-defense when he shot the man with the clown mask.

However, Holly Hill police officers have yet to determine why the man attacked Feliciano that night. The unidentified assailant passed away at the hospital due to the injuries he sustained.

Based on the findings, it would appear that the assailant picked up the mask from a supermarket before heading to Little Caesars.

Ohio Board to review van Hook’s homosexual panic this Thursday.

BEACON TRANSCRIPT – On Thursday, Ohio Parole Board will hear the arguments of Robert Van Hook’s lawyer, the man who was sentenced in 2009 for stabbing to death a gay man in 1985. Van Hook declared during his May the 17th filing that he experienced a homosexual panic while assaulting David Self in his Cincinnati apartment.

Hook’s Homosexual Panic Called Nonsensical By Parole Board

On the 2nd of February, Robert Van Hook left a Cincinnati gay bar with 25-year-old David Self. According to court documents, Van Hook and Self had a few drinks before retiring to Self’s apartment.

Once there, van Hook jumped Self and strangled him until he was unconscious. Van Hook then took a knife, split open Self’s abdomen, and stabbed his organs numerous times. Before leaving, the man stole jewelry and Self’s leather jacket.

Van Hook was arrested later that year, and in 2009, an Ohio jury found him the guilt of first-degree murder and sentenced him to death.

Nine years later, van Hook, whose execution was scheduled for the 18th of Jury, approached the Ohio Parole Board with what he called a “homosexual panic.”

According to the death row inmate’s lawyer, van Hook was overcome with self-revulsion when he murdered Self. Moreover, van Hook questioning his own sexuality and his troubled background are also factors that should be taken into account, the attorney argued.

Conclusion

Coming from a broken home, van Hook experience trauma from an early age, being molested and physically assaulted by his parents.

Earlier this year, the prosecution dismissed van Hook’s argument. They’ve declared that the inmate was well aware of what he was doing and that his sexual orientation had nothing to do with his criminal conduct.

Court documents showed that van Hook frequented gay bars to lure gay men to remote locations in order to rob them.

The Ohio man panicked when he saw the menacing pig following him.

BEACON TRANSCRIPT – North Ridgeville police were at a loss when an individual contacted them on early Saturday morning to report that he’s being followed by a menacing pig. Responders verified the man’s story and took the pig to the local dog kennel.

Menacing Pig Ran Away from an Elyria Farm Police Confirmed

On Saturday morning, at 5:26, an Ohio man called 911 and told the operator that he was being followed. When the operator asked him to describe the situation, the man said that he was being followed by a pig.

According to North Ridgeville PD’s Facebook post, most operators on the graveyard shift have to deal with drunk calls or people hallucinating.

Still, a police car was dispatched to the man’s location. Upon arriving, the deputies realized that the ‘drunk’ man was actually telling the truth was not at all drunk.

Apparently, the swine wandered off from a nearby farm and made its way to the Amtrak train station. Once the individual got off the train, the menacing pig began tailing him.

Realizing that the animal was following him, the Ohio man called the authorities as he didn’t know how to handle the situation.

Moreover, according to the police, the individual was far from being drunk or hallucinating.

The menacing pig was placed inside the cruiser and taken to the local animal shelter. Later that day, the authorities returned the pig to its owner.

Conclusion

Because it was such an exceptional encounter, the police officers involved decided to share the story on social media.

It would appear that this isn’t the first time North Ridgeville officers were called for animal control. In 2015, several deputies chased after a kangaroo which apparently escaped from the city’s zoo.

The Ohio man said that the menacing pig did not hurt him.

United Kingdom Woman

United Kingdom woman who knifed her boyfriend was obsessed with human sacrifices.

BEACON TRANSCRIPT – On Wednesday, a UK Crown court sentenced a 19-year-old woman to 11 years in prison for stabbing her 17-year-old boyfriend during a sex game. At the time of her arrest, the United Kingdom woman declared that she had no recollection of what happened on the night she knifed the victim.

United Kingdom Woman Obsessed with Torture and Human Sacrifices

Zoe Adams, a 19-year-old Wigton resident, was sentenced to 11 years in prison after she pleaded guilty to one count of unlawfully wounding with the intent to do grievous bodily harm.

According to the court documents, in July 2017, Adams and Kieran Bewick, her on-and-off sexual partner, went to the woman’s house to consume alcohol and smoke cannabis.

Based on the victim’s testimony, at one point during the evening, he felt unwell and informed Adams that he intends to go to bed. The United Kingdom woman followed Bewick to the bedroom but not before drinking two shots.

After getting in bed with Bewick, Adams proposed a rather unusual sex game involving asphyxiation. The woman asked Bewick if he trusted her and began smothering him with a pillow.

Several minutes later, Adams pulled out a knife and stabbed the man five times in his leg, arm, and chest. The man managed to escape the bedroom and seek refuge at Adams’ neighbors from where he contacted the authorities.

Adams was taken into custody, and Bewick to the hospital to be treated for life-threatening injuries which included a collapsed lung.

Conclusion

During her trial, the prosecutors revealed that the 19-year-old United Kingdom woman developed an obsession with torture and human sacrifices. A search of her electronic devices revealed pictures and videos of people being tortured and murdered in brutal manners.

More than that, according to the authorities, Adams sent Bewick a message before the attack in which she described how a human being could be sacrificed.
