Saudi Arabia’s Presidency of State Security warned citizens and residents in the Kingdom against donating to strangers, noting that such practices increase the probability of financing terrorism.“[Random strangers] may be more dangerous than you think,” the Presidency of State Security said in a statement on Twitter, urging people to only make donations via authorized channels.The Presidency of State Security also posted a video that illustrates how some beggars scam people.For the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app.In one instance, a man was disguised as a woman wearing niqab and accompanied by children whom he exploited “for the purpose of illegal activity.”Meanwhile, the Kingdom’s General Security said in a statement that security forces will continue to arrest beggars and take legal measures against them.It also urged citizens and residents to donate via authorized channels, particularly through the Ehsan platform which the Kingdom launched last year.The anti-begging law, which Saudi Arabia adopted in January 2021, imposes penalties that vary from a one-year prison sentence or a fine worth up to 100,000 SAR ($26,658) or both for anyone begging or cooperating with beggars or inciting someone to beg.Read more:UAE to replace paper residency visas with Emirates IDSudan to seek $1 bln deposit in central bank to boost its currencySaudi Arabia buys 625,000 tons of wheat from Americas, Europe, and Australia

The United Nations said Tuesday that all the signs from Bucha pointed towards civilians having been directly targeted and killed in the town outside Kyiv.The UN Human Rights Office said the images emerging from the Bucha were extremely disturbing, and underlined that international law prohibited deliberate attacks on civilians.For the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app.Western leaders have united in outrage after dozens of bodies were found on the streets and in mass graves when Russian troops retreated from the devastated town, laying bare the horrors of a 40-day war that has killed thousands.“What we’re talking about here appears to be the direct killing and targeting of civilians in Bucha,” rights office spokeswoman Liz Throssell told reporters in Geneva.She cited photographs of people with their hands bound and of partially naked women whose bodies had been burnt.“This is extremely disturbing, and does really strongly suggest that they were directly targeted as individuals, and here, what we must stress is that under international humanitarian law, the deliberate killing of civilians is a war crime,” she said.Throssell added: “All the signs are that the victims were directly targeted and directly killed.”“You could argue there was a military context, for example, to a building being hit; it’s hard to see what was the military context of an individual lying in the street with a bullet to the head or having their bodies burned.”Throssell clarified that the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights did not have staff on the ground in Bucha.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy blames Russian troops for the killings, but the Kremlin has denied responsibility. Moscow suggested images of the corpses in Bucha were “fakes.”Read more:Treasury stops Russia from paying debt through US accountsDenmark expels 15 Russian ‘intelligence officers’ accused of spyingRed Cross says detained team held near Mariupol ‘released’

Author of ‘How to Murder Your Husband’ Nancy Crampton-Brophy has gone on trial for murdering her husband, chef Daniel Brophy in June 2018, The Independent reported on Monday.Crampton-Brophy, 71, has remained in custody since her arrest in September 2018, facing a murder charge for the death of her spouse, 63, who was found dead at the Oregon Culinary Institute in Southwest Portland in the US on June 2, 2018.For the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app.Her husband was a chef at the Oregon Culinary Institute and was allegedly killed by a gunshot to his back and chest while he prepped for work alone in the early hours of that day.Brophy’s body was then found in a kitchen at the Institute by a coworker.Investigators found that the suspect in Brophy’s murder was in downtown Portland, where her husband worked, at the time of the murder, according to court papers.However, Crampton-Brophy told authorities that she had been at home the entire time on the day of the murder.She was officially arrested in September 2018 and did not plead guilty to all the charges against her.Crampton-Brophy wrote a number of novels such as ‘The Wrong Lover’ and ‘The Wrong Husband’ and her 2011 essay ‘How to Murder Your Husband’ for the website See Jane Publish blog.“As a romantic suspense writer, I spend a lot of time thinking about murder and, consequently, about police procedure. After all, if the murder is supposed to set me free, I certainly don’t want to spend any time in jail,” she wrote, according to the Independent.“It is easier to wish people dead than to actually kill them. But the thing I know about murder is that every one of us have it in him/her when pushed far enough,” she added.On June 3, 2018, Crampton-Brophy took to Facebook to share the news of her husband’s death.“For my Facebook friends and family, I have sad news to relate. My husband and best friend, Chef Dan Brophy was killed yesterday morning. For those of you who are close to me and feel this deserved a phone call, you are right, but I’m struggling to make sense of everything right now,” the Facebook post stated.Read more:Murder probes get data-privacy ground rules from EU Court of JusticeSaudi man executed for murdering his wife, unborn child in the KingdomThai man jailed for murdering Swiss tourist as country struggles to restart tourism
