 ZIMBABWEAN COUPLE DEPORTED OVER SECRET BURIAL OF CHILD IN BOTSWANA A Zimbabwean couple has been deported from Botswana after secretly burying their child without notifying authorities. Motilinah Mpofu and Christopher Ncube were convicted on Thursday of concealing a death after they allegedly dug a grave for their child in the dead of night. The Gaborone court heard the child had died suddenly. Instead of reporting the death to police, health officials, or traditional leaders, the couple quietly buried the youngster and hoped no one would find out. But the secret did not stay buried for long.   Police moved in and arrested the pair. In sentencing, the court ordered that the couple be taken to the Plumtree Border Post for deportation to Zimbabwe.  Top Botswana lawyer Winnie Masitha who offered the couple free legal representation during the trial, confirmed the deportation to BTV News.

A LOUISIANA MAN IS FACING CHARGES AFTER A ROAD RAGE INCIDENT LED HIM TO FATALLY SHOOT A 17-YEAR-OLD WOMAN WHO WAS 7 MONTHS PREGNANT IN THE HEAD. (PHOTO).

 A Louisiana man is facing charges after a road rage incident led him to fatally shoot a 17-year-old woman who was 7 months pregnant in the head. 

This ultimately took her life and forced doctors to perform an emergency c- section; which saved the baby's life.


This terrible and shocking incident occurred on Sunday, August 24th, near Ponchatoula, Louisiana. On that date, 17-year-old Katelynn Strate was a passenger in a Ford Expedition being driven by her boyfriend/ father of her child. At some point, 54-year-old Barry West, who was driving a Dodge truck, began to tailgate Katelynn's boyfriend. The two drivers  began to "brake check" each other. During the exchange, West became so enraged he fired a shot at the Expedition. Sadly, the bullet struck Katelynn in the head.  


After the shooting, Katelynn's boyfriend rushed her to a nearby hospital. Doctors placed Katelynn on life support and performed an emergency c-section, saving the child's life.


Katelynn fought hard for her life.  Sadly, Katelynn passed away on Tuesday, August 26th.  The baby is in stable condition and is expected to survive. 


When questioned, Barry West claimed he was fired on first and was forced to return fire in self-defense. However, law enforcement said there is "no evidence that any shots were fired from the Expedition and no firearm was found."


Barry West was booked into the Tangipahoa Parish Jail on charges of second-degree homicide, illegal use of a weapon, obstruction of justice, and four counts of attempted homicide.


Our thoughts are with Katelynn and everyone she loved.
