Boy, 10, 'beaten to death' by headmaster in front of school during assembly
A ten-year-old schoolboy was beaten to death in front of his entire school over what witnesses called a 'minor issue'. Khyalmat Khan was hit repeatedly with a rod by headmaster Waar Ahmed in a private school in northern Pakistan on Friday. During a school assembly, Khyalmat was singled out and hit on the neck, head, face and back, local police said. He was taken to the hospital, where he later died. The headmaster has been arrested, and the situation is being investigated. Khyber District Police Officer Rai Mazhar Iqbal said: 'Violence against children and women will not be tolerated under any circumstances. 'No one has the right to misuse the noble role of a teacher to commit such brutality. A teacher is a spiritual guardian, but this man has dishonoured the sanctity of the profession.' Pakistan has seen a number of violent incidents involving children, prompting a bill to be passed banning violence against children. Violence in schools has also been reported among older age groups in the country. In 2017, a mob of university students beat a fellow pupil to death after he was accused of sharing blasphemous content on social media. The group is said to have attacked Mashal Khan at the Abdul Wali Khan University in Mardan, Pakistan, while shouting 'Allahu Akbar'. The mass communication student was allegedly stripped naked and beaten with planks until his skull caved in. More Trending Blasphemy is a highly sensitive topic in Muslim-majority Pakistan, where insulting the Prophet Mohammed is a crime that leads to prison time. In the US, eight high school students were charged with murder after a 17-year-old was beaten to death over a pair of stolen headphones in 2023. Graphic footage of the brawl was spread widely on social media and appeared to show at least 10 individuals swarming the victim. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Lt Jason Johansson called the footage 'very graphic, and in my opinion very void of humanity.'

Police arrested a 36-year-old Nevada man for allegedly firebombing five Teslas with molotov cocktails
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police announced they had arrested a 36-year-old Nevada man and charged him with 15 felony counts including arson, use of explosives, and discharging a firearm after he allegedly vandalized a Tesla collision center by shooting out cameras and setting five cars on fire. The arrest comes a week after Attorney General Pamela Bondi announced charges against three others for allegedly using molotov cocktails on Teslas in Colorado, Oregon, and South Carolina. Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill on Thursday announced the arrest of Paul Hyon Kim, 36, of Nevada for allegedly shooting a .30 caliber rifle into the back of five Teslas and hurling molotov cocktails into the cars to set them on fire. Tesla is helmed by Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) leader Elon Musk. President Donald Trump has said anti-Musk actions against Tesla would be treated as 'domestic terrorism' and floated the idea of sending three other individuals who have been charged with attacks to prison in El Salvador, which might not be legal. Kim has been taken into federal custody, according to the Department of Justice, and he faces federal charges for arson and having an unregistered firearm, in addition to 15 felony counts he faces in Nevada. Kim could be sentenced 20 years in prison. 'The Department of Justice has been clear: anyone who participates in the wave of domestic terrorism targeting Tesla properties will suffer severe legal consequences,' said Attorney General Pamela Bondi in a statement. 'We will continue to find, arrest, and prosecute these attackers until the lesson is learned.' Police said Kim dressed in a black facemask and gloves and allegedly drove his black Hyundai Elantra onto a Tesla collision center lot, parked the car, and shot out two surveillance cameras with his rifle. Then he tagged the word, 'Resist' across the glass double doors in pink spray paint, assistant sheriff Dori Koren said during a press conference in Las Vegas on Thursday. Afterward, Kim allegedly walked over to where the Teslas were parked and started shooting into the cars before pulling what police say were molotov cocktails out of his backpack to firebomb them. Authorities claim he set five cars on fire and completely burned the insides out of three, destroying them completely. Koren said police searched two vehicles linked to Kim as well as his apartment and matched DNA taken from the inside of Kim's cheek with DNA left at the Tesla collision center. Koren said the searches turned up multiple rifles, a shotgun, handgun, gun parts and ammunition that matched the caliber found at the Tesla center. Police said Kim's gun belt and backpack had traces of pink paint residue. The DOJ said the search also found a handwritten note with what seemed to be an escape plan. According to Koren, a Las Vegas swat team arrested Kim in his apartment on Thursday morning after authorities matched his buccal-swab DNA with a sample from the crime scene. 'As promised, acts of violence and vandalism will not be tolerated, and today law enforcement personnel acted quickly to arrest an individual on charges including arson,' said FBI Director Kash Patel in a statement. 'Under Attorney General Bondi's leadership, we will continue to pursue these investigations with the full force of law and will bring to justice anyone responsible for these attacks.' Dozens of protests have broken out among Tesla dealerships and properties across the country, in response to vast government cuts engineered by Musk's DOGE team. In response, Trump has issued statements in support of Musk and DOGE and reportedly bought a Tesla Model S. Last week, Bondi announced the arrests of three others charged with using molotov cocktails and setting cars and charging stations on fire, saying all three would face 'the full force of the law.' The DOJ said a woman in Loveland, Colorado was arrested for trying to light Teslas on fire with molotov cocktails, while a South Carolina man spray painted anti-Trump graffiti before lighting a charging station on fire in Charleston. A woman in Oregon was arrested after she allegedly threw eight molotov cocktails at a Tesla dealership in Salem. Authorities said she was armed with an AR-15 rifle. Each face up to 20 years in prison, according to the DOJ. 'The days of committing crimes without consequence have ended,' Bondi said. 'Let this be a warning: if you join this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, the Department of Justice will put you behind bars.' This story was originally featured on

'Ghost Adventures' star Aaron Goodwin's wife fell ‘in love' with hitman who brutally murdered his own family
"Ghost Adventures" star Aaron Goodwin's wife, Victoria Goodwin, allegedly fell "in love" with a convicted murderer who massacred his entire family over five years ago. According to an arrest report from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and obtained by Fox News Digital, Victoria, who was arrested March 6 on charges of soliciting to commit murder and conspiring to commit murder against her husband, first discoverd the alleged hitman, Grant Amato, through a true-crime documentary that aired in April 2024. The documentary, "Ctrl+Alt+Desire," detailed Amato's unhealthy obsession with an on-cam model, his theft of $200,000 from his family and the brutal murders of his mom, dad and brother. One month after the documentary aired, Victoria sparked a "pen pal" relationship with Amato, a former nurse who was being held in a Florida prison. According to an arrest report, Victoria told Amato she and Aaron were going through problems in their marriage. "She further described being lonely and began connecting with Amato," the report states. The pair communicated mostly through text messages, according to the report. "Am I a bad person? Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce," Victoria allegedly asked Amato via text message. Through the "Find My" application, Victoria was able to tell Amato of Aaron's exact location. Amato relayed this information to a third party who would "take care of the situation." At the time, Aaron was on location filming for his hit TV show. "He's asleep right now in the hotel room," Amato allegedly wrote to the unnamed individual. "I need to know what's going on. Can I get an update? Was it done?" The alleged murder-for-hire plot was uncovered after Florida corrections officers confiscated Amato's phone. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police were notified and moved forward with Victoria's arrest. When arrested, Victoria allegedly denied plotting to have her husband killed and wanting him dead. "She described herself of sometimes daydreaming of being in a different situation, but she no longer felt that way," the report states. "She also stated she did not remember sending those particular messages. Victoria expressed her feeling of wanting to be without Aaron and with Amato, which she described as fantasy and daydreams." Aaron filed for divorce from Victoria last week, just days after she was arrested. Documents were filed Wednesday in Clark County, Nevada.
