 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.

Over a dozen train cars derail near Texas-Louisiana border

Investigators are working to determine what caused a Union Pacific train to derail Friday night near West Orange, Texas, close to the Louisiana border.

The derailment occurred near State Highway 87, prompting authorities to block the roadway while crews responded. More than a dozen cars were involved, though no injuries were reported. West Orange Volunteer Fire Department Assistant Chief Simmie Gibson III confirmed that none of the derailed cars were leaking.

By Saturday morning, a Union Pacific spokesperson said 17 cars had derailed from the 39-car train, including three carrying hazardous materials, but none of the hazardous cargo spilled. The derailment did not impact the railroad’s main line, and cleanup efforts were already underway as investigators began examining the cause.

West Orange, a town of fewer than 4,000 residents, sits just across the border from Louisiana and about 105 miles northeast of Houston.
