BLOODBATH IN THE BIG APPLE: 31 SHOT IN 48 HOURS

BLOODY DAY

IT'S may have been labor day, but gunmen have been busy in The Big Apple, blasting 31-people in just 48 hours in one of the bloodiest weekends in New York's recent history.
By Sunday Night 25 had been shot, with a further six being struck in separate incidents in Brooklyn by early Monday morning - violence which Mayor Bloomberg called: "just unconscionable."
The crazy carnage began just after lunch at a barbecue on East 54th, which saw four people shot of which one 18-year-old Tyrief Gary, later died. 
A man and a woman were each shot in the chest at 4:24 a.m. and 6:00 a.m and both now remain in custody.
Police sources believe that the three latest shootings are connected to the pre-dawn festivities leading up to Monday's West Indian Day parade. 

WEIRD NEW DETAILS EMERGE IN REBECCA ZAHAU CASE

SUICIDE?

WEIRD new details have emerged in the already strange death of Rebecca Zahau, who was found hanging bound and naked in the historic mansion of her millionaire medical mogul.
A message in black paint daubed on the door of the bedroom read: "She saved him can you save her?"
The autopsy report also revealed there were hemorrhages under Zahau's scalp, tape residue and blood on her legs, and the T-shirt that was wrapped around Zahau's neck had been partially stuffed in her mouth.
Her death, which came just one day after her boyfriend Jonah Shacknai's six-year-old son, Max, fell down the grand staircase of his 27 bedroom Coronado, CA home, known locally as Spreckels Mansion, when Zahau was supposed to be looking after him.

EDWARD TOBERGTA HAD SEX WITH PINK PLASTIC RAFT

SQUEAKY

HE WOULDN'T be the first person to blow his sexual partner or some people do in fact like a blow up doll in bedroom.
But Edward Charles Tobergta's choice to take a pink inflatable swimming raft and make love to it in an alley is certainly surprising.
Quite what turned on the 32-year-old, who has a history of public indecency arrests, is unclear but he could quite easily have taken it into the bedroom as he was busted right outside his Hamilton, OH, home.
He was spotted by the owner of the raft, who was presumably less than thrilled with what it was being used for and fled after being shouted at to stop the Hamilton Journal News reports.        
We're fairly sure that after this, they won't be wanting it back. 
Cops say Tobergta admitted to the act and told officers that he surprisingly enough has a problem and needs help, police say.
