 Dutch referee Rob Dieperink dies weeks after removal from World Cup officiating list Dutch referee Rob Dieperink has died at the age of 38, weeks after FIFA removed him from its list of officials for the World Cup. The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) confirmed his death in a statement, saying it was “shocked and deeply saddened” by the news. His cause of death has not been disclosed. Dieperink was arrested in April by the Metropolitan Police in the United Kingdom following a report of an alleged sexual assault involving a teenage boy in London. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said officers responded on April 9 to a report of sexual assault at an address in Croydon and arrested a man in his 30s on suspicion of the offence.

 Gunman in Michigan church shooting was Marine and Iraq War veteran- Officials 


The man suspected of opening fire at a Michigan LDS church on Sunday was a 40-year-old Iraq War veteran, authorities said.

Police identified the suspect as Thomas Jacob Sanford, who drove his truck into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, Michigan, before firing shots and setting the building on fire. Sanford was killed in a shootout with police. At least four churchgoers were killed and eight others were injured in the attack.

Sanford’s military background has come under scrutiny following the incident. Officials noted that the truck he drove into the church displayed an Iraq War veteran license plate. He served four years in the United States Marine Corps from June 2004 to June 2008, ultimately reaching the rank of sergeant. Sanford completed one combat tour in Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom in August 2007, which ended three months before his discharge.

During his service, Sanford specialized in military vehicle operations, working as a technician responsible for inspecting, servicing, and repairing tactical vehicles, as well as a vehicle recovery operator tasked with retrieving armored vehicles in support of troop missions. He concluded his military career at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina in March 2008 and received standard recognition for his rank and service.

Sanford was also a father, with a son who faced significant health challenges after birth, according to family posts online. Authorities have not yet determined a motive for the deadly shooting and fire that shook the Grand Blanc community.
