1. Police believe a man shot in self-defence may have been a serial killer.
A woman in West Virginia who shot a man in self-defence may have taken down a serial killer.
The woman realised something was wrong after Neal Falls arrived at her apartment after answering an ad she’d placed for an escort service on Backpage.com.
The woman told KPTV that she knew the man was there to kill her. “I could tell that he had already done something because he said that he was going to prison for a long time.” she said. “And that’s when I knew he was going to kill me.”
After a struggle, the woman grabbed Falls’ gun and shot him. When police arrived, they found a “kill kit” in the man’s Subaru. A list of names, believed to be of future targets, was found in Falls’ pocket.
He is now being investigated in relation to other violent, unsolved murders. The woman has been treated for a broken vertebrae and lacerations, but has since been released from hospital.
2. Bronwyn Bishop claimed trip to colleague’s wedding as a “business expense”.
Embattled Speaker Bronwyn Bishop remains in hot water after it was revealed she claimed a trip to attend former frontbencher Sophie Mirabella’s Albury wedding in 2006 as a business expense.
“She was on official business, as the chair of the family and human services committee,” a spokesman for Mrs Bishop said.
Whilst the committee was conducting an inquiry into work and family balance at the time of Mirabella’s wedding, the ABC reports no public hearings were held in Albury.
