Teen TikToker's dismembered remains found in Peru water plant (chinababy.17/TikTok) Pina was a Venezuelan-born TikTok star who was found dead four days after she shared her last TikTok video, Argentinian outlet infobae said. She had at least 5,000 followers on the platform. Forensic crews identified Pina's body parts through her tattoos, including one on her back reading 'Paula Sophia' along with a date. Her remains were found on June 9. According to El Comercio, parts of Pina's body were trapped in the river filtration grid within the water plant. Videos show crews pulling out Pina's remains from the plant last month, but some of her body parts remain missing. Pina's family revealed that the young girl left her native Venezuela when she was still a minor to live with her then-boyfriend, Meiner Jimenez Castillo. 'She never told us she was leaving. She just left, and that was it,' a relative told La Republica. Meanwhile, in 2022, Castillo was found dead by suicide. However, his family long alleged that Pinna had a connection to his death. They allegedly even harassed her on social media. The Peruvian National Police, who are investigating Pina's death, said that the gruesome nature of the crime is similar to methods used by human traffickers. However, no suspects have been announced in connection with Pina's death yet. Discussing suicides can be triggering for some. However, suicides are preventable. If you or someone you know is considering suicide, please contact the National Suicide Hotline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

Former French interior minister Darmanin's 'long overdue' apology to Liverpool fans
There's shock in Peru after the bodies of 13 miners were found in an underground shaft. The grisly murders came to light on Sunday with the discovery of the bodies in a shaft operated by Peru's largest gold mining company in the Pataz region. The New York Times explains that the region has seen growing conflict over access to ore recently as gold prices soar amid illegal mining and organised crime. The Peruvian press are leading with the story. El Comercio, a Peruvian daily, calls the attacks bloody and cruel. Peruvian President Dina Boluarte held a press conference on Monday, announcing the suspension of mining for 30 days. El Comercio's editor reacts to her speech, saying that rather than reassuring the public, her message did the opposite. It confirmed the disorientation in the government about how to address the very serious situation of violence and crime in Peru. Another Peruvian daily La República, meanwhile, headlines with the face of the man believed responsible. Miguel Rodriguez Diaz, aka "El Cuchillo", was identified by the president as one of those responsible. The paper reports that he fled to Colombia shortly after her press conference. He had been inexplicably released by the public ministry. Rodriguez Diaz is known for his ties to criminal organisations in the Pataz region, where 39 deaths linked to illegal mining have occurred since 2023. Rodriguez Diaz is allegedly responsible for the murder of four people at another mine last year. Here in France, Gérald Darmanin has issued an apology to Liverpool football fans. As FRANCE 24 reports, Darmanin is French justice minister but back in 2022, he was interior minister amid the French government's chaotic handling of the Champions League final in Paris between Liverpool and Real Madrid. On that day, police fired tear gas and pepper spray at thousands of supporters, injuring many, as authorities blamed rowdy fans. In his interview, Darmanin admitted that France was not ready to host the final, which was moved from Russia in the midst of the war in Ukraine. The editor of Sud Ouest, a large regional paper in France, sees some shrewd ulterior motives in Darmanin's apology. The editor wonders if the apology is an attempt to wipe the slate clean ahead of presidential elections in 2027, in which he intends to run. "When one has one's eyes on the Elysée Palace, you need a political do-over," it says. In the Liverpool press, it's a different story: Liverpool Echo offers a measured response, noting that Darmanin offered his first full and frank apology for the way Liverpool fans were treated. Empire of the Kop, a news service run by a group of Liverpool fans who are professional journalists, are far more sceptical. They call it a "long overdue" apology, but remind us that Liverpool fans' patience actually prevented a frightening situation from getting worse. Furthermore, in his apology Darmanin said he expected a war of hooligans and for this publication, that's an unfair generalisation of fans from both Real Madrid and Liverpool. In other news, snooker has a new world champion! The Global Times reports that 28-year-old Zhao Xintong from China has won the World Snooker Championship after he defeated the three-time world champion, Welshman Mark Williams, in a thrilling final on Monday. His victory is a complicated one. Zhao returned recently to the sport after a 20-month ban over match-fixing that involved 10 Chinese players in 2023. He did not match-fix himself, but was party to another player who did. This is why his victory is somewhat muted in snooker circles. However, for T he Independent, there is no doubt he will reach stratospheric levels of popularity in China, where snooker, a quaint British invention, is immensely popular. However you feel about him, Zhao is changing the face of snooker. The Telegraph calls him the Roger Federer of the snooker world. Finally, the press are focusing on one of the biggest events on the fashion calendar. The Met Gala celebrated Black dandyism in New York on Monday. Business Insider offers us a best and worst dressed list of billionaires at the event. On the best dressed list: Wendy Murdoch and her daughter Grace. The former wife of Rupert Murdoch and her daughter were charming in elegant white and gold outfits. On the worst dressed list: Norwegian tech billionaire Gustav Witzoe, in a white blazer cape hybrid with a briefcase of rose petals. Star Wars legend George Lucas also disappointed with his boring navy suit, while Kim Kardashian put together an unimaginative ensemble. Finally, Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt is not doing Australia's reputation for low fashion any favours, as people are disappointed with his lime-green eyesore! It turns out that money does not always buy good taste!

‘House Of Horrors': German Kids, Locked Up By Parents Over COVID Fear, Rescued
Last Updated: The police got to know about the family after their neighbours reported that the children living inside hadn't been going to school for a very long time. In a shocking incident, three German children living in Spain were rescued from a Covid lockdown 'house of horrors' after being forced for years by their parents to stay there even after pandemic restrictions were relaxed. Yes! You read that right. As per The New York Post, citing a local outlet El Comercio, the siblings—8-year-old twins and a 10-year-old—were eventually evacuated from the home in Oviedo, Spain's northwest, on Monday by the officials after being locked inside since 2021. The official said, 'As soon as we brought them out, all three kids began to breathe deeply as if they had never been outside before." Their parents, a 53-year-old German man and his 48-year-old American wife, who also had a German passport, were detained and charged with domestic violence, habitual psychological abuse, and child abandonment, according to the police. As per the officials, both parents were allegedly suffering from 'COVID Syndrome' and forced the entire family to live in extreme lockdown for several years and with no connection to the outside world. The police got to know about the family after their neighbours reported that the children living inside hadn't been going to school for a very long time. Talking about the kids, an officer told the portal El Mundo, 'The kids were in terrible condition. It was absolutely obscene. They were not starving; they had been fed. But they were also dirty and disconnected from reality, and not just because they didn't attend school. When we took them out of the house and into the garden, where they wouldn't go outside, they noticed a snail and freaked out." According to the local outlet, police discovered that the family rented out the home in October 2021, with only the father's name registered. Upon investigation, officers discovered that only the father used to leave the house to pick up grocery deliveries and mail, while neighbours informed police they hadn't seen the family leave since December 2021. During a press conference, Oviedo Police Chief Javier Lozano described the property as a 'house of horrors'. 'We have given three children back their lives," he said, adding, 'We have dismantled the house of horrors." Well, this is not the only case. Earlier in 2023, Gurugram police rescued a woman and her 10-year-old son, who had locked themselves in an apartment for three years, to escape the coronavirus. First Published:

Three children locked inside 'house of horrors' for years are rescued by Spanish police
Three children kept locked inside their home since 2021 have been rescued by Spanish police, according to local reports. Officers said they arrested a 53-year-old German man and a 48-year-old American woman in Oviedo, northeast Spain, on Monday. The three children - two eight-year-old twins and a 10-year-old - have been taken for medical evaluation and are now in government custody at a juvenile centre, according to Spanish outlet El Comercio. Another Spanish outlet, ABC, reported that the parents had been charged with domestic violence, habitual psychological abuse, and child abandonment. It added that the parents were being held in pretrial detention without bail. El Comercio reported that an investigation was launched after a neighbour complained on 14 April about children who lived in the home not attending school. Spanish outlet El Mundo added that other locals told police they had not seen anyone enter or leave the property since December 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic. It reported that when officers went to the property during the power outages in Spain and Portugal, the mother told officers to "be careful" since her children were "very sick". Officers told the outlet that the home was filled with rubbish and a large number of medications and masks, and that the children did not appear to have any illnesses. The three children were also reported to be sleeping in cribs, which officers said were defaced with drawings of monsters and dolls. One agent told El Mundo: "The children were in terrible shape. It was absolutely outrageous. Not malnourished, because they were fed. "But they were also dirty… [and] completely cut off from reality, and not just because they didn't go to school. When we took them out of the house, into the garden, where they wouldn't even go outside, they saw a snail and went crazy, freaked out." "We have given three children back their lives," he said, according to El Comercio.
