A Jewish reporter who has previously contributed to the BBC says he will no longer work with the news service over its refusal to label the Palestinian extremist group Hamas as “terrorists.”

“A personal announcement from me: I will no longer work for or represent the BBC,” Abrahams posted on X, previously known as Twitter.

When reached for comment, the BBC disputed media reports characterizing Abrahams’ departure from the service as a resignation.

Man Allegedly Ties Up & Robs Airbnb Host After Renting Basement https://brevmag.com/man-allegedly-ties-up-robs-airbnb-host-after-renting-basement/ https://brevmag.com/man-allegedly-ties-up-robs-airbnb-host-after-renting-basement/#respond Tue, 03 Oct 2023 16:34:52 +0000 https://brevmag.com/?p=43209 A man in Georgia is being sought by authorities after allegedly using Airbnb to rent a basement space and then robbing and restraining the homeowner.

According to an initial news release from the Gwinnett County Police, they are seeking the public’s assistance in locating 26-year-old Khalil Hamilton, a suspect in an armed robbery case. On the evening of September 26, Hamilton purportedly rented a basement room in a Buford residence through Airbnb. Following the rental, he allegedly sent a text message to the homeowner, claiming there was a need for a bathroom repair.

During the alleged robbery incident, the homeowner stated that his wife and child were present in the house, but they were not harmed and were left unattended. A police report mentioned that the suspect had used the pretext of a “leaky toilet” as the reason for the purported “bathroom repair” mentioned in his initial text message. This ruse was seemingly employed as a means to gain access to the residence and subsequently carry out the robbery.

Models Were Discovered Dead In L.A. Apartments 2 Days Apart https://brevmag.com/models-were-discovered-dead-in-l-a-apartments-2-days-apart/ https://brevmag.com/models-were-discovered-dead-in-l-a-apartments-2-days-apart/#respond Tue, 19 Sep 2023 15:15:29 +0000 https://brevmag.com/?p=37455 In a tragic and unsettling series of events, two models were found deceased in their upscale apartments in downtown Los Angeles, just days apart. According to The Los Angeles Times, the body of 32-year-old Nichole “Nikki” Coats was discovered in her apartment on September 10th. Two days later, on September 12th, the lifeless body of 31-year-old Maleesa Mooney was found in her own apartment. The Los Angeles Police Department has confirmed that Mooney’s death is being treated as a homicide, while Coats’ death is not currently classified as such.

Although authorities have not disclosed any presumed connection between the two deaths, Coats’ family believes that she, too, may have been a victim of foul play. The investigations into these tragic incidents are ongoing.

Coats’ family has established a GoFundMe campaign to assist with funeral expenses. The campaign has already exceeded its initial goal of $10,000, with $15,235 raised from 208 donors. This support reflects the concern and sympathy of the community for Coats and her grieving family.

Man Arrested For Stealing Neighbor’s Front Porch In Georgia https://brevmag.com/man-arrested-for-stealing-neighbors-front-porch-in-georgia/ https://brevmag.com/man-arrested-for-stealing-neighbors-front-porch-in-georgia/#respond Wed, 23 Aug 2023 18:38:37 +0000 https://brevmag.com/?p=28025 In a rather unusual incident, a man in Arnco, Georgia, has been arrested and is facing a felony charge for allegedly stealing an entire porch. According to a report from WAGA-TV, the accused porch thief, identified as Robin Swanger, reportedly ignored multiple “no trespassing” signs when he entered his neighbor’s property and removed a wooden porch. The investigator from the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office described the stolen item as a “full 8′ by 10′ porch.”

Despite the appearance of the property as abandoned, it was indeed not, and the owner had posted the “no trespassing” signs in an effort to deter people from entering.

Complex has reached out to the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office for further information, and this story may be updated. In addition to the felony charge related to the porch theft, Swanger also faces two domestic violence-related charges.

Nurse Found Guilty Of Murdering 7 Babies At Hospital https://brevmag.com/nurse-found-guilty-of-murdering-7-babies-at-hospital/ https://brevmag.com/nurse-found-guilty-of-murdering-7-babies-at-hospital/#respond Mon, 21 Aug 2023 20:10:10 +0000 https://brevmag.com/?p=27248 A nurse has received a life sentence with no possibility of parole after being convicted of the murder of seven babies at a hospital in Chester, England.

Lucy Letby, 33 years old, was sentenced on Monday to a “whole life order,” a sentencing type reserved for the most severe murder cases. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) stated that Letby, who was found guilty last week on seven counts of murder and seven counts of attempted murder, employed various methods in the neonatal ward killings that occurred in 2015 and 2016.

“In her hands, innocuous substances like air, milk, fluids—or medication like insulin—would become lethal,” Pascale Jones, a reviewing lawyer for CPS, said on Friday when announcing Letby’s conviction. “She perverted her learning and weaponized her craft to inflict harm, grief, and death. Time and again, she harmed babies, in an environment which should have been safe for them and their families.”

The prosecution’s case was significantly strengthened by medical records, notably the identification of what prosecutors claimed were “falsified notes” crafted by Lucy Letby in an attempt to conceal her actions. Furthermore, prosecutors highlighted the presence of a diary and handwritten notes authored by Letby, one of which contained the chilling statement: “I am evil, I did this.” These pieces of evidence played a crucial role in building the case against in indicting her.
