US Man Found Guilty Of Killing And Dismembering Teen College Student On First Date
Inside the man's basement, authorities uncovered what they described as a 'sex dungeon,' complete with a sling, restraints, and other paraphernalia.
A 34-year-old man in Milwaukee, US, has been found guilty of killing and dismembering a 19-year-old college student on their first date.
According to the New York Post, Maxwell Anderson killed Sade Carleena Robinson in April 2024 after the two met for dinner.
The woman's remains were discovered in multiple locations along the Lake Michigan shoreline, days after she failed to show up for work.
According to prosecutors, the two had gone out for dinner and drinks before heading back to the man's apartment. When the woman didn't return home or report to her job the next day, she was reported missing.
Hours later, a severed leg—later identified through DNA testing—was found on the lakefront.
Investigators soon discovered a disturbing trail of evidence, including dismembered body parts scattered across the area, surveillance footage placing the woman at the suspect's home, and photos on the man's phone depicting parts of her body.
Inside the man's basement, authorities uncovered what they described as a 'sex dungeon," complete with a sling, restraints, and other paraphernalia.
Prosecutors also noted that on the night of the killing, the pair had watched an episode of Love, Death & Robots—one centred on a dismembered body washing ashore, eerily mirroring the events that followed.
The jury deliberated for just 45 minutes before finding the man guilty of first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse, hiding a corpse, and arson.
Prosecutors said he had planned the killing weeks in advance, preparing his home with plastic sheeting and tools.
'Sade will continue to walk with me daily and right beside me," the victim's mother, Sheena Scarbrough, said after the verdict. 'She will forever be remembered as an angel."
The man is scheduled to be sentenced on August 15. He faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.

FBI Director Kash Patel wants to ‘stay out of Trump-Elon thing', says ‘I know my lane…'
FBI Director Kash Patel preferred to stay out of the 'Trump-Elon' thing after the tech billionaire made bold claims on Thursday that US President Donald Trump was 'in the Jeffrey Epstein files'. According to a New York Post report, Patel was in the middle of a two-hour interview on the 'Joe Rogan Experience' podcast when Musk made these claims. 'I'm not participating in any of that conversation between Elon and Trump,' a surprised Patel said after learning of the shocking statement made by the world's richest man. As soon as Rogan learned of Musk's statement, he asked Kash Patel, 'Jesus Christ! That's a crazy thing to say. How does he know? Does he know that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files? Or does he have access to the Epstein files?' Responding to Rogan, according to the report, Patel said that he didn't 'know he would' know anything about the contents of the Epstein files, but declined to speak further about the feud. 'I'm just staying out of the Trump-Elon thing; that's way outside my lane,' he said. 'I know my lane, and that ain't it.' The dramatic rupture between the US President and the world's richest man began this week with Musk's public criticism of Trump's 'big beautiful bill' pending on Capital Hill. Musk has warned that the bill will increase the federal deficit and called it a 'disgusting abomination'. Trump criticised Musk in the Oval Office, and before long, he and Musk began trading bitterly personal attacks on social media, sending the White House and GOP congressional leaders scrambling to assess the fallout. As the back-and-forth intensified, Musk suggested Trump should be impeached and claimed without evidence that the government was concealing information about the president's association with infamous pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. "Time to drop the really big bomb: (Trump) is in the Epstein files," Musk posted on his social media platform, X. 'That is the real reason they have not been made public,' he wrote. He initially doubled down on the claim, writing in a follow-up message: "Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out." Musk appeared by Saturday morning to have deleted his posts about Epstein. According to the New York Post report, Patel had discussed the pending release of surveillance video taken of Epstein's Manhattan jail cell that proves the convicted child sex trafficker killed himself in August 2019. Speculations have been rife since Epstein's death that he was killed by someone afraid he would expose sex crimes of prominent figures in politics and finance whose friendship he had cultivated over several decades. 'I'm not saying every single camera in the place was working,' Patel told Rogan. 'I'm saying we've got footage and you're getting it, and then you can make up your own mind." Democrats sent a letter to Patel on Thursday requesting the complete unsealing of the investigative file into Epstein, the report said. 'We write with profound alarm at allegations that files relating to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have not been declassified and released to the American public because they personally implicate President Trump,' Reps. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) and Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) wrote in their letter. 'We ask that you immediately clarify whether this allegation is true and respond to this letter with the requested information and documentation.' In February this year, the US Justice Department released Jeffrey Epstein's address book, featuring a range of celebrities and politicians. However, the Justice Department clarified that the list is a contact list, 'not a client list'. The list includes Michael Jackson, actor Alec Baldwin, Mick Jagger, Naomi Campbell, Courtney Love and Robert F Kennedy Jr's mother, Ethel Kennedy. Though the names were revealed in the files, the Justice Department withheld their addresses and contact information, the report added. Other high-profile celebrities and political figures on the contact list include Bob Weinstein, the brother of Harvey Weinstein; David Koch; late Sen Ted Kennedy; actor Ralph Fiennes; Kerry Kennedy; lawyer Alan Dershowitz; John Kerry; actor Dustin Hoffman; businessman Jon Huntsman; Ivana Trump, Ivanka Trump; and model Liz Hurley. The president's name was not on the contact list. The millionaire financier, who socialised with royalty and celebrities, was accused of running a large network of underage girls for sex. While awaiting trial, he killed himself in his jail cell in 2019.

US jiu-jitsu student awarded $56 million after being paralysed by black-belt instructor
A US jiu-jitsu student who was left paralysed from the neck down after a sparring session with his black-belt instructor has been awarded more than $56 million in damages, according to a report by the New York Post. (Also read: Paralysed woman in China exposes husband who fled with ₹3.5 crore after abusing and deceiving her) The incident occurred in 2018 at the Del Mar Jiu Jitsu Club in San Diego, where then-30-year-old Jack Greener, a beginner white belt, was sparring with his instructor, Francisco Iturralde, a 33-year-old second-degree black belt known by the nickname 'Sinistro'. Greener's injuries were the result of a manoeuvre during the training session, which video footage later showed caused his neck to twist unnaturally. He was on all fours when Iturralde flipped him forward, forcing him face-down and compressing his neck. 'The black belt instructor did a technique that placed his entire body weight on Greener's neck, causing him to instantly fall limp and lose all function of his limbs,' explained Brazilian jiu-jitsu legend Rener Gracie, who testified as an expert witness during the case. The impact crushed Greener's cervical vertebrae, rendering him a quadriplegic. He was hospitalised for months, suffering several strokes as a result of the trauma — all just weeks before he was scheduled to graduate from university. Greener filed a lawsuit against the jiu-jitsu studio, holding both the facility and Iturralde — who gained fame for his 'dynamic, aggressive grappling style' — responsible for the life-altering injury. As per the outlet, in 2023, a San Diego jury awarded Greener $46 million. The studio appealed the verdict, taking the case to the California Supreme Court, which this week declined to overturn the decision. A state appellate panel had previously affirmed the judgment late last year. With post-judgment interest, the total compensation has now surpassed $56 million, Greener's legal team confirmed. 'The final appellate court's ruling cements a critical legal victory not only for our client, but also for injured athletes across California by reaffirming that sports instructors and facilities may be held accountable when they unreasonably increase risks beyond those inherent in the sport,' said Rahul Ravipudi, one of Greener's attorneys.
