German Boy Paid €17,100 Protection Money To School Bullies

A German boy of age 12, from Aalen, a town in the southern German state of Baden-Württemberg, allegedly stole money from his parents to pay “protection money” to school bullies who threatened to attack him. According to The Daily Telegraph, the boy handed over €17,100 equivalent to £14,700 after he was told that his older brother would physically assault him if he failed to deliver the cash. It apparently began in March in the town where the boy lives. “Because the older brother is known not to be a softie, the boy was really frightened and always delivered the money,” said a police spokesman. According to German police the bullies acted individually asking for “protection money” or threatening violence if the boy would not pay. The victim’s parents used to keep large amounts of cash around the house and did not notice the money being taken, German authorities have claimed. Police said that only a small amount of the money had been recovered. Most of the cash was reportedly spent on clothes and computer games. The bullies, who are all aged 11 or 12, cannot be prosecuted because they are too young. German Boy Paid €17,100 Protection Money To School Bullies is a post from: Daily World Buzz Continue reading

Simon Monjack Died Shortly After Wife’s Death

American actress and singer Brittany Murphy died at age 32 last December 2009 due to pneumonia, an iron deficiency and multiple drug intoxication but just five months after her husband Simon Monjack, English writer-director-producer, was found dead last Sunday night in their home in Hollywood. Sharon Murphy called 911 when she discovered Monjack around 9:30 being unresponsive. Monjack was then pronounced dead. According to Sgt. Louie Lozano, Monjack died of natural causes. “We concluded there no signs of foul play or any criminal activity involved,” said Sgt. Alex Ortiz, another police spokesman. Linda Monjack, mother of Simon, told PEOPLE that her son was “unwell, and the doctors are carrying out tests. On whether he has a heart problem it is not really for me to say, you must ask him, but yes, there have been health problems in the past. I believe it’s common knowledge, and it’s been in the press that he had a slight heart attack a week from Brittany’s death coming back from Puerto Rico.” Simon Monjack Died Shortly After Wife’s Death is a post from: Daily World Buzz Continue reading
