Update: Man Charged With Murder For Murking Prostitute And Stuffing Her Dead Body In Suitcase

Remember the story last week about the black woman’s body found in a suitcase? Well they caught that shady f*ck: An East Harlem man was charged with murder last night after he was caught on video disposing of a woman’s body stuffed inside a suitcase , police sources said. Hassan Malik (pictured), 55, who has a long rap sheet for burglary and drugs, copped to the strangulation slaying, the sources said. He claimed in his confession that he paid the victim, Betty Williams, for sex and afterwards, he noticed she was taking more money, so he killed her, other law enforcement sources said. When Malik walked out of the 23rd Precinct stationhouse early today he told reporters he was “sorry” for what he did. The break in the murder came after a tipster saw the chilling video that shows the alleged assailant wheeling a suitcase to a spot on East 114th Street near First Avenue. Williams, 28, who has 14 arrests, mostly for drugs, was found fully clothed inside the suitcase on Dec. 22 by a neighborhood resident who opened the bag and saw a leg pop out. SMH…damn he could’ve handled that situation a little better than killing that poor hooker and stuffing her body in a suitcase! R.I.P. Source

Live Two-Month-Old Tiger Cub Found Hidden in Suitcase at Thailand Airport

Live tiger cub found in suitcase at Thai airport By the CNN Wire Staff August 27, 2010 12:36 p.m. EDT This two-month old tiger cub was found stuffed in a woman's luggage at Bangkok's international airport. STORY HIGHLIGHTS * Authorities are trying to determine where the tiger came from * Trade monitoring network says a baggage scan sparked airport workers' suspicions * The tiger cub is two months old Bangkok, Thailand (CNN) — A live tiger cub hidden in a suitcase filled with stuffed toys was spotted as it went through a luggage X-ray at a major Thai airport, a wildlife trade monitoring network said. Staff at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi International Airport contacted authorities after a baggage scan showed an item resembling a real cat in a passenger's over-sized bag, the non-profit organization TRAFFIC said Thursday. Investigators found a sedated, two-month-old tiger cub when they opened the bag for inspection. Officials are trying to determine where the cub came from and whether it was caught in the wild or bred in captivity, TRAFFIC said. Authorities found the tiger Sunday in a suitcase belonging to a 31-year-old Thai national, who was scheduled to board a flight for Iran, the organization said. Chris R. Shepherd, TRAFFIC's deputy regional director for Southeast Asia, praised authorities for discovering the smuggling attempt, but said the case showed a need for more monitoring and tougher punishments. “If people are trying to smuggle live tigers in their check-in luggage, they obviously think wildlife smuggling is something easy to get away with and do not fear reprimand,” Shepherd said. “Only sustained pressure on wildlife traffickers and serious penalties can change that.” added by: EthicalVegan
