Judge shot dead, stabbed and has genitals stuffed in mouth after being accused of affair
A Russian judge was shot dead, stabbed multiple times and had his severed genitals stuffed in his mouth after being accused of having an affair.
Judge Vasily Vetlugin, 40, had only just walked out of a courthouse in Kamyshin, Volgograd region when he was gunned down and had a knife plunged into his eye. The judge was allegedly attacked by his secretary's husband who suspected an affair, according to police sources.
Sergey Kibalnikov, 47, a transport business owner, was detained at the scene of the killing and is being questioned by Russian police. He is under investigation for 'murder with particular cruelty' in Kamyshin, Volgograd region, documents show.
Police are investigating whether the gruesome murder was motivated by 'jealousy'. Yelena Kibalnikova, 40, had been working as Judge Vetlugin's secretary and sources allege that Kibalnikov suspected the pair of having an affair.
According to witnesses, the judge was shot with a Saiga semi-automatic hunting rifle. An eyewitness said: 'The judge came out of the courthouse, got into his car, started to drive off.
'The man blocked his way and began shooting at the car. The judge ran out and headed towards the lawyers [office], but the man gunned him down, cut off his penis, shoved it into his mouth, and stabbed him repeatedly, finally sticking the knife into his [eye].
'He was detained at the scene of the crime — he didn't even try to run. The killer is the husband of a court secretary.
Unconfirmed reports alleged Kibalnikov had been fighting in the war against Ukraine, and returned home on leave when he became suspicious of his wife having an affair with the married judge, the father of recently-born twins.
According to the Russian Investigative Committee, the bloodstained suspect - pictured in handcuffs - confessed to the killing under interrogation. A source said: "He did not try to hide. He waited for the police and surrendered.'
Another account reported: 'He found out that his wife was cheating on him with the federal judge, ambushed him around the corner of the City Court, and dealt with the rival. After the murder, he did not try to hide and surrendered to the police."
Pictures published by Telegram channels show the judge's bloody body with a knife sticking out of his head lying on a busy street in broad daylight.
The judge's family denied he had been having an affair. They posted: 'Vasily was married. He recently became the father of twin daughters. He was a man of honour.'

NATO war planes scrambled for second day after latest Russian attack on Ukraine
The attack on oil and port facilities in Izmail, Odesa, was less than one mile from NATO territory. NATO was forced to scramble war planes overnight for the second day in a row as Russia unleashed another wave of devastating strikes on Ukraine, leaving a city in flames and buildings blown to pieces. The attack on oil and port facilities in Izmail, Odesa - less than one mile from NATO territory - has cast major doubt on Vladimir Putin's commitment to peace even as the White House seeks to broker an urgent meeting between the Russian dictator and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, reports the Mirror. The horror strikes hit facilities close to the River Danube, which is the Ukrainian border with allied state Romania. A statement from the Romanian air force said: "Two Typhoon aircraft belonging to the German Air Force [...] were scrambled to monitor the air situation in the border area with Ukraine, in the north of Tulcea County. "The [Romanian] Ministry of National Defence's air surveillance system identified groups of drones launched by the Russian Federation, which attacked Ukrainian ports on the Danube. During the mission, no airborne vehicles were recorded entering national airspace." It is the second time in three days that allied planes have been scrambled in precautionary moves due to the intensity of Russian strikes. The war planes later returned to base. "Close cooperation with allies in enhanced air policing missions strengthens Romania's defence capability and contributes to the deterrence and defence posture on NATO's eastern flank," the statement said.

The attacks came despite Donald Trump's claims that Putin had agreed to peace talks with Volodymyr Zelensky. The US President said he was arranging to get Zelensky and Putin in the same room within two weeks for talks aimed at ending the war. Tump announced the move on Truth Social, saying: "At the conclusion of the meetings, I called President Putin, and began the arrangements for a meeting, at a location to be determined, between President Putin and President Zelensky. After that meeting takes place, we will have a Trilat, which would be the two Presidents, plus myself." There were immediate doubts over Putin's sincerity due to both his overnight strikes on Ukraine, and his aide Yury Ushakov failing to specify that the Kremlin leader would personally take part in talks with Zelensky. On Tuesday, Russian attacks on Ukraine saw Tu-95MS strategic bombers unleashing cruise missiles as they flew over the Caspian Sea.

Ukraine fires new ‘Flamingo' missile that can strike Moscow for the first time after it was ‘inspired by British bomb'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) UKRAINE has fired a groundbreaking new long-range missile dubbed "Flamingo" which will let Kyiv to strike Moscow for the first time. The breakthrough weapon can hit targets sitting more than 3,000km away with a menacing 1,000kg warhead - and its design takes inspiration from a British bomb. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 Ukrain'es new 'Flamingo' missile could hit Moscow from the frontline Credit: AP 8 The missile is said to be able to hit targets over 3,000km away Credit: East2West 8 The groundbreaking weapon was captured in incredible footage Credit: East2West Extraordinary footage showed the warhead being shot from a ramp before launching into the sky at breakneck pace. The cruise missile, which is reportedly already in serial production, fires from a twin-axle ramp before propelling itself with a turbofan. The "Flamingo" has a six-metre wingspan and reaches speeds of up to 900km/h before decimating its targets. And its maximum flight time is a whopping four hours. Engineers designed the bomb to feature three main priorities: range, warhead mass and rapid deployment. Its developer, Fire Point, said the systems are being manufactured at a highly protected facility in the Carpathians, in the west of Ukraine. The breath-taking design also features a dorsal air intake for a jet engine and an X-tail. To make sure the missile hits its target, it is also equipped with resistance to electronic warfare. The "Flamingo" is reportedly closely modelled on the FP-5 missile design - an unmanned cruise missile which can hit targets at subsonic speeds. The FP-5 is made by British weapons firm Milanion, a UAE-headquartered defence contractor which has supplied Ukraine in the past. Scheming Putin WON'T draw a line under Ukraine - here's why he won't give up the Donbas The new Ukrainian missile will dramatically boost the county's long-range strike capabilities to face down Putin's bloodthirsty regime. And it would be a gamechanger in defending against the invasion which started over three years ago. The "Flamingo" missile would also complement Ukraine's cutting edge aerial arsenal - which consists of long-range drones and other extended-range missiles. It would also be able to deliver a more powerful blow against any fortified or high-value targets such as oil refineries or air bases. Ukraine has slowly but surely built up its missile program over the last few years to help defend against Putin's invasion. In April 2022, near the outbreak of the war, the "Neptune" anti-ship missile was fired to sink the Russian Moskva cruiser. 8 Extraordinary footage showed the incredible missile in action Credit: East2West 8 The missile could hit strategically key Russian sites Credit: East2West 8 It comes as Trump met Zelensky and European allies on Monday Credit: Alamy Live News It comes as Putin continues to launch vicious assaults on Ukraine, while European allies work with Donald Trump to put together security guarantees for the war-torn country. The Don met with the likes of Sir Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, Giorgia Meloni and other European leaders at the White House on Monday. The US President phoned Vladimir Putin during the summit to push him to meet with Zelensky face-to-face. It remains unclear where the two will meet, but the bilateral summit is set to be followed by a trilateral one involving Trump. Switzerland could host the summit between the Russian and Ukrainian leaders, in the city of Geneva - and the country promised they would not arrest wanted war criminal Putin if he came for peace talks. The Zelensky-Putin meeting could take place "within two weeks", German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who was also at Monday's talks, said after the summit. Trump has also ruled out the prospect of US troops on the ground as a security guarantee for Ukraine. But the White House did not rule out the prospect of supportive American support by sea or air. The US president also admitted Putin could have no interest in securing a deal - but warned that he would face a "rough situation" if he doesn't come to the table. European leaders floated the idea of Nato Article 5-like guarantees for Ukraine, but it is unclear what they would look like as part of any peace deal. Article 5 of Nato states that an attack on one member is considered an attack on all, obliging allies to come to each other's defence. 8 Donald Trump pictured alongside European allies in the White House on August 18 Credit: Getty

Alaska man handed 'personal gift' from Putin after complaint over motorbike
With the US and Russia due to sit down again in an attempt to try and find a solution for the Ukranian War, a motorcycle has taken the centre stage of international relations Russian president Vladimir Putin has gifted an American man a Russian motorcycle after the Alaskan had complained to reporters that sanctions were making it difficult for him to get parts for his own model. An employee of the Russian embassy in the United States handed local man Mark Warren the keys to a new Ural motorcycle in the parking lot of the Anchorage Hotel. The Russian delegation were staying there ahead of the Russia-United States summit. The retired fire inspector said he is well aware that some people are disgusted he took an expensive gift from the Russian leader whose employee handed it over and told Mr Warren the bike was: 'a personal gift from the President of the Russian Federation.' The new khaki green Ural bike is valued at about $22,000 (£16,310) but its recipient was undeterred by the scrutiny of others and willingly accepted it despite the fact the Russian government is under U.S. Sanctions. Putin is also wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes in Ukraine and has an open warrant for his arrest. Mr Warren said: "I p***ed off all sorts of people. I took it. I could have not taken it, and probably p***ed off just as many people as doing that. I don't care.' The motorcyclist said he understood that people took a dim view of the Russian leader but told Anchorage Daily News that the goodwill gesture from Putin wasn't getting the Russian Federation anything in return from him directly. He confirmed: 'They're getting nothing from me. Nothing.' The Russian state media described the gift as a gesture of goodwill to the people of the United States. Mr Warren stated that he doesn't see himself as functioning as propaganda for the Russian government. The Alaskan was gifted the new motorcycle after a chance encounter with Russian reporters on the streets of his state's capital. Ahead of the summit, a pair of journalists saw him riding the Ural brand motorcycle he bought from his neighbour a few years ago to downtown Anchorage to run some errands. The two men who said they were from Russia's state television Channel 1 flagged him down, waving him to the side of the street, informed Mr Warren. He explained: 'They said, 'We need to talk to you.' I went over there, and there were two journalists, and they said, 'Do you realize this is a Russian motorcycle?' They were very nice, and then we got to talking about it.' The unlikely meeting saw the American become the star of a news segment about the effect of economic sanctions as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Mr Warren told Russian media that repairs to his bike had gotten expensive as affordable parts had become harder to find. The clip went viral in Russia and the media star soon received several phone calls, despite him not giving the journalists his phone number. He was told that the story had even reached President Vladimir Putin, who wanted to give him a new Ural motorcycle. The conversation put the bike directly into the geopolitical conflict at the heart of the summit. On its website, the company Ural which condemned Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine said 'production ground to a halt due to [an] inability to import components and export bikes out of Russia caused by international sanctions laid on the country.' The company was founded in what was then Soviet Russia and is now headquartered in Washington state. Ural pulled all its production out of Russia after the start of the full-scale war in Ukraine, because sanctions prevented them from exporting bikes. At first, the retired man told his wife he thought the promise of a delivery of the new bike could be part of an elaborate scam but sure enough a sheet covering a motorcycle shaped object was ready to be unveiled in the Lakefront Hotel in Spenard's carpark by Russian officials. Mr Warren claimed it was a "good bike" and said he will likely sell his older one so he can ride his new present. When Russian reporters asked the recipient of Putin's gift about the summit between U.S. and Russian leaders, Mr Warren responded that he had been optimistic. 'I just said, 'I just hope something good comes out of it,'' he added.
