Wealthy Georgia wife arrested for drunkenly killing husband in shocking golf cart accident
A wealthy Georgia wife was arrested for drunkenly driving a golf cart, leading to her husband's death in a shocking accident. Cynthia Mackin, 62, was behind the wheel of a golf cart at Astor Creek Golf and Country Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida, on Saturday evening when her 59-year-old husband, Daniel Mackin, fell from the back rail and landed head-first on the sidewalk. According to investigators, Daniel lost his grip and struck his head on the concrete as the cart traveled along a sidewalk on Southwest Astor Creek Parkway near Southwest Shinnecock Drive. He was rushed to HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital - 11 miles from the course - where he later died. 'Operator was consuming alcohol, the passenger even more,' Port St. Lucie Police Chief Leo Niemczyk told WPTV. 'It was just an unsafe situation,' he continued, adding that the affluent couple had been playing golf when the incident occurred. Following the tragedy, police launched a DUI investigation and arrested the well-off wife for driving under the influence. Cynthia, a native of Greensboro, Georgia, was then taken to the St. Lucie County Jail and later released on a $500 bond. 'It's a tragic situation her husband passed,' Niemczyk said, adding that it was 'necessary' to arrest the intoxicated wife. 'Unfortunately, it was necessary to make the arrest at that time, because her BAC had to be captured, and a breathalyzer had to be performed,' he explained. Niemczyk also emphasized the importance of driving sober. 'You have to have a designated driver,' he said. 'The person that's going to be operating the golf cart has to be sober, and they have to be aware, and they're responsible for their passenger.' Police said the investigation remains ongoing and will be reviewed by the State Attorney's Office to determine if additional charges will be filed. During the investigation, 37-year-old, former professional baseball player, Justis 'Logan' Morrison interfered with officers and refused instructions to move back, according to NBC Miami. He was arrested for obstruction, taken to the St. Lucie County Jail, and later released on a $500 bond. Kenneth Sower Jr., who was at the course when the tragic accident occurred, expressed his disbelief over the situation. 'It's a sad situation,' Sower said, adding that the tragedy could have been prevented. 'They preach that when you get the golf cart, you're not supposed to get on the back. Just ride it in the front.'

Unbelievable twist as aspiring businessman, 21, is stabbed to death in the driveway of suburban home while girlfriend watched on in horror - as cops reach a terrifying conclusion
Police have said there is no clear motive for the fatal stabbing of 21-year-old Luke Manassa and are looking at the possibility of a mistaken identity case, as two teenagers are charged over what officers believe may have been a contract killing. Luke Manassa, 21, and his girlfriend arrived at a home on Driftway Drive in Pemulwuy, greater western Sydney, on June 26 where he was allegedly ambushed and attacked. Two unknown men, dressed in dark clothing and disguises, allegedly stabbed the 21-year-old entrepreneur with hunting-style knives, NSW Police said. It is alleged Mr Manassa then got back into his car and drove a short distance before being overcome by his injuries. Homicide Squad detectives have charged two teenagers over the fatal stabbing of a man in Pemulwuy last week. The squad's commander, Detective Superintendent Joseph Doueihi told reporters on Friday it was believed to be a botched killing. 'We believe that these these young offenders were contracted by someone to conduct this killing,' he said, adding that the alleged intent was murder. 'We don't know who those people are, or if they're involved with any particular organized crime group.' 'I can indicate that, by the way this offense was executed by these two young persons, it was very amateurish, which certainly assisted our investigation,' he said. Emergency services were called to the home at about 10.45pm that evening regarding reports that a man had been stabbed. NSW Ambulance paramedics treated Mr Manassa but he could not be revived and died at the scene. Strike Force Hickety was established and, on Thursday at about 6am, detectives carries out searches in South Penrith, Mt Druitt, and Woodcroft. In South Penrith, police arrested a 17-year-old boy who was taken to Penrith Police Station. He has been charged with murder and failure to comply with digital evidence access order direction. The teen was on bail at the time and police allege that, at the time of the incident, he had a curfew in place. Officers also arrested a 16-year-old boy in Mt Druitt, who was taken to Mt Druitt Police Station and charged with murder. Both are linked to western Sydney street gangs and were refused bail. They are due to appear in children's court on Friday. During the search warrant in Woodcroft, police seized what they will allege was used as the getaway car from a separate residence. Two knives have also been seized. The investigation continues. No motive has been established so far. Det. Supt. Doueihi said Mr Manassa was not adversely known to the NSW Police but the occupants of the home were. The young man would visit there occasionally. 'This could well be a case of mistaken identity,' he said. 'It's probably too early at this stage to absolutely confirm that Luke was a mistaken identity, but (it's) certainly heading towards that.' Mr Manassa's family own a demolition company and the aspiring businessman had studied property economics at UTS. He described himself as a young businessman on a podcast last year and discussed his entrepreneurial endeavors and 'side hustles' like selling designer sneakers. 'I knew what I wanted to do for a long time. I wasn't concerned with much else,' he said. Basketball club Inner West Bulls also said their thoughts were with Ms Manassa's family. 'We remember Luke not only for his talent, but for the kindness, energy, and brotherhood he brought to the team,' the Facebook post said. 'He was a valued member of the Bulls - strong, kind, and respected by all who knew him. We will carry your memory on the court, always. 'You will be deeply missed by the entire Bulls community.' It comes nearly two months after innocent plumber John Versace, 23, was shot dead as he got out of his ute at his family's home in Dalton Avenue in Condell Park, in Sydney's south-west, about 10.30pm on May 19. The shooter unloaded about 10 rounds of bullets, with Mr Versace suffering four gunshot wounds to his chest and stomach. He died at the scene. Det. Supt. Doueihi said on Friday that Mr Manassa's killing was indicative of violence on Sydney's streets. 'More broadly, we're seeing some very young people being involved in very horrific crimes across Sydney,' he said.
