Officials in Clay County, Texas revealed this week that human remains uncovered near the Oklahoma border last month were those of Spc. Jose Ramirez, an El Centro, California native who went missing from Fort Sill, Oklahoma more than seven years ago. A former friend of Ramirez’s, 30-year-old Justin Green, was charged with the murder in February.

Three others, including Green’s mother and sister, also face charges related to helping clean up the crime scene and hide the body, and the story was carried earlier this week by The Associated Press.


But one shocking detail in that story seemed to be overlooked in the AP’s lead: A criminal complaint against the group, obtained by Raw Story on Thursday, shows that Green’s sister believes he killed Ramirez “because Ramirez did not believe in God.”

Meant topost this days ago:

Eastenders is massive in the UK. It and Coronation Street vie as the two top soaps on brit tv.

Quote:
The brother of EastEnders actress Gemma McCluskie appeared in court today accused of murdering the 29-year-old and dumping her headless body in a canal.

The former soap star went missing just hours after she attended a hospital opening ceremony on March 1.
McCluskie, of Hackney, East London, appeared for less than two minutes at Thames Magistrates' Court.
The 35-year-old, dressed in a grey long-sleeved top and jeans, spoke only to confirm his name, address and date of birth. His face has been obscured in the images here at the request of police.

He was remanded in custody and told a bail hearing would take place at the Old Bailey within the next 48 hours.
Chair of the bench Cliff Lynn said a provisional date of March 26 had been set for a preliminary hearing.

A limbless torso found in the Regent's Canal in Hackney, East London, was formally identified as that of Miss McCluskie last Friday, but a post-mortem examination was inconclusive.
Police divers are still searching for her remaining body parts.
Her brother was arrested on Wednes

I've always wanted to go on a canal tour of England. That Regents Canal is pretty nice. I was just checking it out on Google Earth. It goes right through London and all the way out to Slough. This tunnel is half a mile long!
Can you imagine commuting to work on it? Gets a fair amount of traffic though. Not such a good place to dump a body.

All reports were -after Hebe's amazing prelim race today- that she was inexplicably grumpy. So instead of going over to try an communicate over the balcony, I just texted "fucking awesome", We don't hold back on the "f bomb" here, but when I put it in a text, she knew I meant business. turns out she was grumpy because she thought her race was so crap she didn't bother to look at the scoreboard.........

Transplant? Doesn't that imply you had to have one in the first place? I think they meant to say "implant".
