• Kent Ryan Tomao, 25, of Kidapawan City, Philippines, has experienced pain in his chest during cold weather ever since he was stabbed by some teenagers on his way home from work in January 2020.
Inquirer.net reported on March 24 that a recent X-ray taken as part of Tomao's application for a mining job revealed the source: a 4-inch knife blade buried in his chest, just inches from his lungs.
Tomao told local media he had "no idea there is a knife in my chest" and now "I am just seeking help so it can be removed." [Inquirer.net, 3/24/2021]
• Thomas McCann, 49, of Stockport, England, was sentenced to prison for life on March 30 for the brutal murder of his wife, Yvonne, 46, in May 2020, following an argument over a bag of french fries left out of the freezer, according to court documents.
The Guardian reported McCann strangled his wife in the bathroom, then dismembered her body and disposed of some of the parts in Reddish Vale Country Park, where dog walkers discovered her remains; other parts were taken to a recycling center.
During this time, McCann texted their children, saying Yvonne had walked out on him.
He was later spotted on video footage carrying trash bags to his car and while walking toward the park, and confessed the killing to police. [The Guardian, 3/30/2021]
