‘Heartbroken beyond words.' Family of girl killed in sailboat crash speaks out
The family of 13-year-old Erin Ko, who was killed when a barge slammed into a sailboat of summer campers in Biscayne Bay on Monday, thanked the community for its support during what they call an 'unimaginably difficult time.' Erin was among five girls and a camp counselor aboard a 17-foot Hobie Getaway, part of a Miami Yacht Club summer camp program teaching children to sail, when it was hit by a 60-foot barge being pushed by a tugboat. The impact of the crash, which happened around 11 a.m. Monday, caused the boat to capsize. The accident also claimed the life of 7-year-old Mila Yankelevich, the granddaughter of well-known Argentine television producers Cris Morena and Gustavo Yankelevich. Mila and her parents, also prominent in the arts, had moved to South Florida.

'Our lives were forever changed by a devastating accident that took Erin from us far too soon, leaving our family heartbroken beyond words,' the statement read. 'We hold the other victims and their loved ones in our hearts, sharing in the profound sorrow this loss has brought to so many.' READ MORE: We were screaming and screaming.' Witnesses watch as barge hits sailboat of campers The Ko family has asked for privacy as they begin the painful process of grieving and healing. They shared a selection of photos commemorating Erin's life and said they hope, in time, to speak more about who she was and the joy she brought to those around her. Erin attended Colegio San Pedro Nolasco de Vitacura in a province of Santiago until her family moved to South Florida in December. In a statement released Wednesday, the school remembered Erin as a kind, gifted student who 'left an indelible mark' on their community. Erin excelled academically, especially in math, the school noted. She was on the volleyball team and participated in trapeze. 'Her friendliness and personality allowed her to interact with students at different levels, whether through her participation in extracurricular activities or through the family ties that united her with classmates from other classes,' the school wrote. A memorial Mass was held Thursday in Chile, where Erin's former classmates and relatives gathered to remember her. In a video shared by the school, students formed a circle and released white balloons in her honor. 'While she was here, she was a light for us, for our school, ' the Chilean school's elementary school director Francisca Aburto told Miami Herald news partner CBS Miami. 'Erin left a mark that's indelible. So that's very important for us to pass that on. 'For me, I also taught Erin before taking over as principal. I was her teacher in fifth grade, and in sixth grade. It was a wonderful experience…' Erin also had attended Nautilus Middle School in Miami Beach, Local 10 reported. The Miami-Dade school district confirmed Friday she was a student at one of its schools. The collision occurred near Hibiscus and Monument Islands off Miami Beach. Two other campers, ages 8 and 11, were critically injured and rushed to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital, officials say. The 19-year-old camp counselor and a 12-year-old girl were treated at the scene.

Police operation halts supplies entering illegal Mpumalanga mine, arrests 1 000
Police have arrested around 1 000 alleged undocumented migrants working in illegal gold mines in Mpumalanga. Speaking from where the week-long sweep took place, Mpumalanga police spokesperson Donald Mdhluli said there could be more arrests because there were still illegal miners underground. 'As they are coming out, they have been taken,' said Mdhluli. Police surrounded the illegal Barberton mine to prevent supplies from entering, forcing those inside to come to the surface. The police operation, which started on Monday, targeted clandestine mining near Barberton, which is close to the borders of Eswatini and Mozambique. 'About 1 000 illegal miners, who are also illegal immigrants, have been arrested,' Mdhluli said, calling it a joint operation between mine security and the police. He added 'there are no fatalities recorded so far'. The arrests come less than a year after a similar operation was conducted near Stilfontein in North West, where at least 90 illegal miners lost their lives before the mines were shut in January.

Man said 'get the police' after pulling out 'gun' at Cardiff Central railway station
An erratic and paranoid man took out an imitation firearm and pointed it at the sky at a busy railway station before he was heard saying: "You better get the police before I harm someone." When he was arrested by police at his home, a further imitation weapon was discovered. Benjamin Stockham, 45, approached two security guards on the concourse of Cardiff Central railway station on July 3 last year in a distressed state. He told the two men he "needed protection" and asked them to phone the police. A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court heard the guards believed the defendant was intoxicated as a result of his "erratic and paranoid" manner.

Prosecutor Abigail Jackson said Stockham was taken to a private room and the police were called, but when he was put on the phone the defendant became aggressive and left the room. He was then seen walking back onto the station concourse on CCTV, and was heard saying: "If they hurt my girlfriend I'm going to kill them." At that stage, Stockham took out the firearm which had the appearance of a "semi-automatic pistol" from the waistband of his trousers. The defendant was then seen to cock the gun and point it to the sky. A homeless person nearby heard Stockham say: "You better get the police before I harm someone, I have a gun." He was then seen to walk in the direction of the Principality Stadium but when the police arrived at the scene they were unable to locate him. Stockham, of West Lee, Riverside, Cardiff, was arrested at his home in the early hours of the morning. A search of the house resulted in the discovery of two imitation firearms, which were both found to be BB guns, but it could not be determined which weapon had been taken to the station. The defendant later pleaded guilty to two counts of possessing imitation firearms with intent to cause fear of violence. The court heard he has 10 previous convictions, for offences including common assault and threatening to destroy or damage property. In mitigation, Nick Gedge said his client had been trying to seek help for problems surrounding drugs and alcohol, and has attempted to rebuild his life. Sentencing, Judge Paul Hobson described the offences as "disturbing behaviour". Stockham was sentenced to eight months imprisonment suspended for 18 months. He was also made subject to a rehabilitation activity requirement for 15 days and ordered to carry out 150 hours unpaid work.
