  • After meeting on dating app, woman hired hitman to murder lover’s wife

    Jab pyar kiya to darna kya?

    Melody Sasser from Tennessee has been arrested by police authorities after she had tried to hire a hitman to murder the wife of a man she had met on a dating app.

    People Magazine reported that Sasser met the man on Match.com. After finding out that he had recently gotten engaged, the woman responded with “I hope you both fall off a cliff and die”, according to the alleged target’s complaint to the police.

    She also revealed that Sasser had shown up to their resident unannounced after learning about the couple’s engagement, reporting that she found her vehicle damaged, and began receiving threatening calls that couldn’t be traced.

    Authorities also found out that Sasser was tracing the whereabouts of the victim and her husband through a fitness app on their Garmin watches.

    According to court documents, Sasser plotted the murder of the wife by placing a $10,000 order on the website Online Killers Market on Jan 11, 2023, using the username “cattree”, to have the spouse of the man she met murdered.

    “It needs to seem random or accident[al]. Or plant drugs, do not want a long investigation. She recently moved in with her new husband,” the murder-for-hire request reads.

    Then again in March, she sent a follow-up message, complaining about how long it was taking to hire a hit-man:

    “I have waited for 2 months and 11 days and the job is not completed… does it need to be assigned to someone else? Will it be done? What is the delay?”

    The police were immediately alerted to the murder’s request and traced Sasser’s location, as well as informed the intended target and her husband about the failed murder plot. Sasser is currently being charged with attempted murder.

  • Aunts murder 2-year-old nephew over ‘jealousy’ with brother’s wife

    Aunts murder 2-year-old nephew over ‘jealousy’ with brother’s wife

    Two women were arrested in Uttar Pradesh, India for allegedly murdering their two-year-old nephew over “jealousy” with his mother. They killed their nephew and hid his dead body in the wardrobe after covering it with a blanket.

    As per reports, the child had gone missing and on September 29, the family approached the local police station and registered a case for “missing person”.

    Later that night, the toddler’s body was recovered from the wardrobe and taken to a hospital where doctors confirmed the death and determined asphyxiation (the state or process of being deprived of oxygen) to be the cause behind his death.

    “The matter was investigated and the two aunts were questioned based on evidence indicating their involvement. The two women have confessed to killing the child and have been arrested,” stated police officials.

    The incident took place when accused Pinki, who is married and is the elder sister of co-accused Rinki, had visited her parent’s house. 

    Both siblings, around 30 years of age, told police that they were upset with the child’s mother Sapna, the wife of their brother, over her attitude towards them, according to the police.

    They were also “jealous” of Sapna as their brother always supported her and often taunted the sisters on various issues, giving rise to hatred among them that led to the extreme step by the duo, the police said.

    They added that an FIR has been filed against them at the Surajpur police station.
