 Putin woos African leaders at showcase summit, says Russia is better partner than 'colonial' West President Vladimir Putin told African leaders ​on Wednesday that Russia was their best partner, accusing what he cast as a colonial West of still trying ‌to exploit the continent's resources and using debt to hold back development, Reuters reported. The Kremlin chief was speaking at the third Russia-Africa Summit in Moscow, a two-day event attended by African leaders and government delegations from 48 countries, during which he will hold one-on-one talks with many of the 22 individual African leaders ​attending on everything from trade to security, arms deals and grain supplies.

Notorious New York City-area 'Torso Killer' admits to 1965 murder


 Richard Cottingham, one of the New York City area’s most infamous serial killers, has confessed to another murder dating back to 1965. Authorities in New Jersey said Tuesday that Cottingham, dubbed the “Torso Killer,” admitted to killing 18-year-old Alys Eberhardt, who was found dead in her family home in Fair Lawn, about 12 miles northwest of Manhattan.

The case had been reopened in 2021, and after years of extensive interviews, investigators secured a full confession from Cottingham, including details that had never been made public. Fair Lawn Police Chief Joseph Dawicki confirmed that no additional charges will be filed, officially closing the case. Cottingham, now 79, has been in prison since his 1980 arrest and is serving three life sentences at South Woods State Prison in Bridgeton, New Jersey. Dawicki described Eberhardt as a “vibrant young nursing student” and expressed hope that her family might find some closure knowing the killer has confessed. Cottingham has long claimed responsibility for up to 100 murders, though authorities have officially linked him to about a dozen. He previously admitted to several killings in the late 1960s and early 1970s in the New York City suburbs, including a 1968 murder for which he received a 25-years-to-life sentence, and has been convicted of other killings in New York and New Jersey. He earned the nickname “Torso Killer” for dismembering some of his victims.
