Heartless killer Richard Satchwell romanced other women as wife's body lay under his stairs
A key witness has come forward with damning evidence A key witness has come forward with damning evidence which reveals the heartless fiend was wining and dining his lover while tragic Tina lay for hidden for years without a proper burial. 'She was in or around his own age group, maybe a year two older,' reveals a taxi driver in Galway city, who met up with them over six years ago. 'She had prominent teeth. I won't call them buck teeth but they'd strike you when you'd look at her. She didn't give her name. ' The driver, who wants to remain unidentified but is a trusted Sunday World source, can pinpoint when he met Satchwell and his lover. 'It was on a Thursday evening about two years after she went missing,' he recalls. 'Tina went missing in 2017, and I had this guy with me in I believe 2019, it was a Thursday evening in February about 6.30pm 'I dropped some people at Jurys Inn (now Leonardo hotel). I went out to use the bathroom at the bar and saw this guy waiting about five minutes he approached me and he said 'would you mind drop us out to Salthill'?' Flowers at Tina's house He then clicked the man in the English accent who he was making arrangements with while they sat into his car. 'I knew who he was on the spot but I pretended to be stupid, as I wanted to suss him out,' he explains. 'I kind of played along and said 'are you on holidays, are you visiting?'. He replied in his English accent 'yeah, we're just up for a few days'. 'I said 'are youse from the city, I know Cork very well, I used to work for a company down there'. 'No,' he said, 'I'm from Youghal.' ''And yourself?', I asked her ''I'm from ***** in west Cork, like you know' she replied (the Sunday World is keeping the name of the village secret for now).' Richard Satchwell News in 90 Seconds - June 1st The driver said he remembered the name of the place she lived because he grew up in different area with the same name. The taxi-man said he could see the pair were clearly a couple. 'There was a lot of touchy feely stuff going on between them,' he confirms. It was more than just friends, there was definitely a relationship.' He describes the woman as 'a lovely lady'. 'They were staying in The Salthill Hotel, but they asked to be dropped along by the amusement centre on the promenade just before the hotel,' he remembers. He admits at the time he speculated as to how long they were together. 'I got the impression they were together for a good while and there's a possibility they may have been seeing each other before the wife ever went missing,' he ponders. 'After I dropped them off I... rang Salthill station and one of the Guards there rang me back and they took it very seriously. 'The next day I did an interview with a senior Guard from Cobh, which I think was the main station dealing with the case. 'There was no banter whatsoever from him, it was strictly business and he wanted to know every detail of what Satchwell and the woman were up to and where they were going. He had the [hotel] CCTV footage himself after it being downloaded.' He assumes the Guards did try to find the woman. 'I'd be guessing they would have tried to track her down. But she wasn't doing anything wrong, and he didn't seem to be at the time either,' he says.

Online fundraiser created for family of 4-year-old boy killed by bus in Horseshoe Bay
A four-year-old boy who was killed in a bus crash is shown in this photo with his mother, who was critically injured. (Image credit: gofundme/support-for-clineus-family) A GoFundMe has been launched for the family of a four-year-old boy who was killed when an articulated transit bus jumped the curb outside the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal on Wednesday. The little boy, identified as Leonardo in the online fundraiser, died at the scene. His mother, identified as Silvana, was taken to hospital in critical condition. The fundraiser says the family moved to Canada from Brazil years ago and are now Canadian citizens. It says Silvana and her husband Clineu struggled to have a child, and when they welcomed Leonardo in late 2020, they called him their 'one per cent miracle baby.' Family Image credit: gofundme/support-for-clineus-family It goes on to say: 'Silvana wanted nothing more in life than to be a mother, and she was an incredible one. She and Leo were inseparable. On that beautiful Wednesday she wanted to adventure with Leonardo to Bowen Island for the day, as they loved to travel and see new things. They had a wonderful day, sharing pictures with Clineu throughout.' Leonardo Image credit: gofundme/support-for-clineus-family The fundraiser says the family is now faced with the difficult decision of whether to bring Leonardo's body back to Brazil for burial if his mother is well enough to travel, or have their extended family fly here to say goodbye to the little boy. It says donations will be used for funeral expenses and care for Silvana as she recovers from serious injuries and mental trauma. 'Silvana's path ahead is long and uncertain. Beyond the physical trauma, there will be the overwhelming emotional toll of losing her only child,' the GoFundMe reads. 'Her care and rehabilitation will require extensive, specialized support as she works to regain both her physical ability and her sense of purpose.' Silvana and Leonardo Image credit: gofundme/support-for-clineus-family Police say the bus involved in the collision was seized for mechanical inspection and speed is not believed to be a factor. Officers have spoken to the driver, but no other information has been released.

Urvashi Rautela shares photo proof that Leonardo DiCaprio has called her 'Queen of Cannes'. Internet is not buying it
Actor Urvashi Rautela surprised her followers with a selfie featuring Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio, claiming the actor referred to her as the "queen of Cannes". Her latest Cannes claim is making waves, but not everyone is convinced. Also read: Urvashi Rautela calls Diet Sabya 'paid troll' for claiming she blocked guests at Cannes: No matter how hard you troll... Urvashi shared a throwback selfie on Instagram on Thursday, featuring herself alongside Hollywood star Leonardo. The photo reportedly dates back to their meeting in 2022. Sharing the picture, Urvashi claims that Leonardo called her the 'queen of Cannes'. 'When Leonardo DiCaprio calls you the Queen of Cannes! Thank you, Leo… now that's a Titanic compliment,' she captioned the photograph. It is believed that Urvashi met Leonardo at the Cannes Film Festival in 2022. Urvashi had faced heavy trolling three years ago after claiming that Leonardo had praised her as a "talented actress" and complimented her appearance at the film festival. A post shared by URVASHI RAUTELA (@urvashirautela) The scrutiny has resurfaced with her recent throwback selfie with the Hollywood star. Social media users are flooding the comment section, with many trolling Urvashi for seeking attention, while others are questioning the authenticity of the picture with Leonardo. Urvashi's friend Orry commented, 'What do u mean when he calls u queen of Cannes ??? U r the queen of cannes what else is he meant to u?'. One social media user shared, 'Does Leo know that he called you the queen of Cannes??', with another writing, 'If self-obsession was a person". One comment read, 'Dear Urvashi, if you are the one who is spreading this and not a member of your family, I want to tell you that you are only insulting yourself and the dignity of a real star is created by her love for herself so that everyone respects her and not by running after the spotlight and fame in a way that does not suit her. In the past years you did not get upset and this year you got upset, why? And I tell you that this is your personal account and not a fan account for you to behave in this way. Review yourself, you are only insulting your name'. 'The meeting we've all been waiting for,' one joked, with another quipping, 'She is the best and Leo will be honoured to be first person to get a selfie with her natural beautiful self'. 'First woman to stand next to Lenardo Di caprio,' one comment read. Another social media user wrote, "Now the AI is very dangerous', and one mentioned, 'Another lie'. 'That's a doppelganger of Leo D,' one claimed. The actor has been in the news for her outings at the recently concluded Cannes Film Festival earlier this month, with her bold fashion choices, including a ripped gown, an eye-catching parrot clutch, and a bra necklace bag that garnered significant attention. Urvashi was attending the film festival in a personal capacity, and attended several screenings

Archaeologists Find Secret Leonardo da Vinci-Drawn Tunnels
Here's what you'll learn when you read this story: An underground tunnel network long rumored thanks to drawings by Leonardo da Vinci under Milan's Sforza Castle are proven to exist. Ground-penetrating radar and laser scanning revealed that the historic passages made famous by a Leonardo da Vinci drawing is just one of multiple tunnel sections. Experts plan to create a digital twin of the castle's underground system for museum visitors. The artworks of Leonardo da Vinci are vast and storied. 'The Last Supper.' 'The Vitruvian Man.' The 'Mona Lisa,' for goodness sake. But even amongst such a storied and well-studied body of work, there can still be a few surprises left to discover. And recently, a team of researchers discovered one of those surprises—one drawing of a castle tunnel from a 1400s-era castle. See, the drawing was of Sforza Castle, and it included depictions of numerous underground tunnels—tunnels that had never been found. The team—which included experts from Polytechnic University of Milan, Codevintec, and Sforza Castel—teamed up to employ ground-penetrating radar and laser scanning that mapped multiple feet under the castle. In doing so, they discovered not only that the tunnels Leonardo alluded to in his drawings existed, but that they may only be a small piece of an intricate system weaving throughout the site. 'The ground-penetrating radar enriched the 3D model with data on known, but inaccessible, spaces, bringing to light unknown walkways and ideas for further studies on secret passages,' Francesca Biolo, researcher at Polytechnic University of Milan, said in a statement. The castle took on new life in the 1400s when the duke of Milan, Francesco Sforza, reconstructed an ancient site. He turned it into the Sforza Castle, complete with towers, courtyards, and frescoed-lined halls. In 1494, Francesco's successor, Ludovico Sforza, built on the castle's tradition and hired Leonardo da Vinci to create art for the castle. According to Art Net, in his effort to complete that project, Leonardo ocumented the castle's unseen tunnel system, as recorded in Codex Forster I. Experts believe the tunnels were once likely used for military operations, but other portions of the system could have included personal touches as well. One passageway, for instance, connects the castle to the Basilica of Santa Maria delle Grazie, a church built by Francesco that houses Leonardo's 'The Last Supper.' It is also the site of Sforza family burials, which may have afforded those living in the castle quicker access to the tombs of loved ones, such as Ludovico's wife, Beatrice d'Este. Nowadays, the castle complex is home to three different museums—Pinacoteca del Castello Sforzesco, the Museum of the Rondanini Pieta, and the Museum of Ancient Art. While the underground system may not currently be fully accessible, the ground-penetrating radar and laser scanning used to confirm its presence could still unlock a fresh perspective on the Sforza Castel's underground world. 'The goal is to create a digital twin of the Sforza Castle, a digital model that not only represents the current appearances of the castle but also allows you to explore the past, recovering historical elements that are no longer visible,' Franco Guzzetti, professor of geomatics at Polytechnic University of Milan, said in a statement. Adding augmented reality to the virtual paths could invite visitors to explore the underground environments and inaccessible historical places in a fresh museum experience. The artwork of Leonardo has enabled the delight of modern audiences yet again. You Might Also Like Can Apple Cider Vinegar Lead to Weight Loss?
