Kolkata: A forensic team spent over 90 minutes inside the Baguiati flat where a skeleton was discovered in a sealed plastic drum on Tuesday. Experts arrived at the conclusion that the body was sealed within hours of the murder.“The fact that the bones of the skeleton were not brittle or that no rigor mortis had set in suggests that those who handled it had researched on the same and had not wasted much time in completing the process.Else the bones would have to be broken to push it in. In this case, that has not happened,” said a police source quoting experts.Cops have also taken seriously the landlord’s claim that he had received a call from the suspected tenant’s wife a few months ago. Sources said that the call dump is being studied to get a lead on the number from where the call was made, the ownership of that SIM card and the place from the call was made.Cops have also decided to trace all the persons who might have worked on the instruction of the suspected tenant and came to the landlord to deposit the rent on his behalf. “Since the transactions were always in cash, we hope

Kolkata: The skeleton discovered in a sealed plastic drum inside a Baguiati flat on Tuesday belonged to a woman who had died at least five months ago, a preliminary autopsy showed on Wednesday. But doctors could not specify the time or reason.“We are certain she was dumped inside the drum immediately after her death or else rigor mortis would have set in and the accused would have had to break the bones to put her inside the drum,” said a senior Bidhannagar City Police officer. The landlord of the house, Gopal Mukherjee, couldn’t provide any lead to the tenants’ details, and the phone numbers he gave did not exist any more, cops said. —Tamaghna BanerjeeWe also published the following articles recentlySkeleton tumbles out of sealed plastic drum in Baguiati flatThe skeleton of an unidentified person was found inside a sealed plastic drum in a flat in Baguiati, Kolkata.

Robert Pattinson has revealed the worst sofa he’s ever owned and it may surprise some. In an interview with Architectural Digest, to talk about the first sofa he recently designed alongside designer Nicole Gordon, the Twilight star shared that he slept on an inflatable boat at one point in his life. “There was a time when the only piece of furniture I had for about six months was an inflatable boat that would double as my couch, bed, and dining table,” Pattinson said. “I loved it very much, but it caused a lot of back problems.” But his newly created sofa is definitely an upgrade from his once-inflatable piece of furniture. The actor said he initially started doodling potential designs when he had some free time once filming wrapped on 2022’s The Batman. “I started sketching pieces of furniture I thought would make people interact in a playful and informal way,” Pattinson told AD. “They all had disproportionate, oversized elements that were quite fun. And in the process of making some models out of clay, I found that organic overlapping curves had a similar effect.” The Water for Elephants actor then teamed up with Gordon, who previously decorated two of his homes, to

CAA has dropped a pair of female BIPOC entrepreneurs who’ve gained attention in recent years for holding “anti-racist” dinner parties for an affluent white women audience, according to one of the founders who says they offended their agent with their vocal support for Palestine following Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre and Israel’s subsequent invasion of Gaza. On Nov. 13 Saira Rao told her followers on X, the social platform formerly known as Twitter, that she and her business partner Regina Jackson were now without representation due to “our words denouncing genocide. This is McCarthyism on steroids and ethnic cleansing. We are disgusted but not shocked. #FreePalestine.” CAA’s New York-based Ally Shuster had been their agent. The Century City-based major agency did not return a request for comment. Rao and Jackson’s speaking and book agents also didn’t respond to requests for comment. Their organization, Race2Dinner, bills itself as hosting small dinners in which, for a fee, white women can participate “in very direct, exceedingly difficult conversations” with them “around white supremacy, racism and xenophobia.” Interest in their business, which was launched in 2019, spiked after the murder of George Floyd. The pair’s endeavor has led to a book, White Women, detailing how

The BBC network in Britain has given an update into its workplace misconduct investigation into comedian Russell Brand, which includes a complaint regarding conduct at the British broadcaster’s Los Angeles office in 2008. “Our investigations so far indicate a total of five complaints directly to the BBC: two individuals raised complaints and concerns during 2006-8 and raised these issues again after Russell Brand left the BBC. A separate complaint was made by another individual after Russell Brand had left the BBC in relation to the 2008 allegation in LA. Two further complainants have come forward since the review began,” BBC representative Peter Johnston said of the ongoing probe on Tuesday. The allegation from Los Angeles around workplace conduct in 2008 was first formally reported to the BBC in 2019.  “We have spoken to a number of individuals, including some who were based in Los Angeles at the time, but the work on this continues.  Alongside understanding the extent of any knowledge of that incident within the BBC prior to 2019, I am also looking at what was broadcast at the time,” Johnston said of the complaint around Brand while working on a BBC project in Los Angeles.   BBC News

Memes abound again this week! NOVEMBER 13, 2023 - Hello and welcome back to another Meme Review Monday! I’m super proud of the selection I’ve curated for you all this week so let’s jump right into it! First up we have a meme that was circulating Tumblr a bit ago and that I find very funny.  This meme started circulating after Robert Beltran liked a tweet saying that real Star Trek Fans don’t have pronouns and the gay and trans flag in their social media bios. I found that to be hilarious because throughout all of its existence, Star Trek has always been at the forefront of social change. This is a meme review so I won’t go on my rant on how woke Star Trek really is but if you want it let me know, because I certainly can in a different article.  Next we have a meme I also found on tumblr though it has been reblogged so many times I do not know who the original creator is.  I love alignment chart memes and I think this one is absolutely great. My only note is that I would move Adira closer to “would never dream of breaking

This is an expansion of one of the earliest articles published on the Cobb County Courier. It was originally published in January of 2016, about five months after we began publishing. At the time this article was written, if we had 1,000 visitors over a 30-day period I’d be thrilled. At this point our 30-day readership is consistently over 110,000 page views, and often approaches 200,000. So I’m recycling some of the golden oldies for a new and larger audience. The Georgia Native Plant Society holds periodic work days in Heritage Park in Mableton to remove invasive plants (follow this link for the details of the next work day). One thing I noticed about their publicity for the event is that more emphasis was put on privet than on kudzu. Read further to find out why. Not only that, but I noticed that I see a lot more privet in Cobb County than I do kudzu. Kudzu’s more noticeable since it engulfs whole trees and buildings, but privet is everywhere. A little about this notorious plant I’m a fan of what’s known as “long form journalism”.  It’s the type of article that takes more than one sitting to read, unless
