Two wedding crashers murder groom

In Chino, California, two men, both of them are brothers, have been charged for allegedly killing a groom outside of his own wedding reception around 2:20am on Sunday. 

According to the police, the two men identified as Rony Aristides Castaneda Ramirez, 28 and Josue Daniel Castaneda Ramirez, 19 are accused of killing Joseph Melgoza, 30 and assaulting two men. 

Melgoza (the groom) suffered blunt-force trauma to the head, but no official information yet on whether if a weapon was used. However, in the article, it mentions that a family member said that baseball bats were used. 

The police say that there is no known relationship between the brothers and the groom. The first court hearing was yesterday afternoon. 

Melgoza leaves behind his newly wedded wife, Esther Bustamante and his daughter Lily. There is a GoFundMe page to raise funds for the funeral. 

Teenager steals plane and crashes it

At Fresno Yosemite International Airport in California, a 17 years old girl climbed over a fence, snuck in a small plane- a King Air propeller driven aircraft, turned the engine on, and crashed into the fence and a building. 

When the authorities found her sitting in the pilot seat of the aircraft, she was wearing a pilot headset and seems uncooperative and disorientated.

The girl’s mother said her daughter ran away from home on Tuesday night and have not heard or seen her since then. She mentioned that her daughter has never run away before and does not even know how to drive a car. 

No injuries were reported and no passengers were on the plane. There are just some property damages with the building and plane. This teenager will be booked on theft of an aircraft. 

Utah man found dead in freezer after 10 years with notarized letter

In Tooele, Utah, a 75 years old woman was found dead in her apartment after a maintenance worker called the police to check on her when this worker has not seen the woman for about two weeks. 

When the police arrived and searched Jeanne Souron-Mathers’ apartment for any clues that led to her death, they also found her husband, Paul Mathers,’ body too, but in a chest freezer. It seems that her husband actually died from between Feb 4, 2009 to March 8, 2009 and his body was kept in a freezer for about 10 years. 

The police that the possibility is because of Paul (the husband) had Veterans Affairs and Social Security monthly benefits so these benefits just kept coming in after his death. 

When the police found the husband’s body in the freezer, there was a notarized letter from December 2008 stating that Jeanne is not responsible for Paul’s death. The detectives tracked down the person who notarized it, the woman said that she did not really read the letter and just stamped it. 

The police said that Paul died because of his illness 10 years ago and Jeanne died because of natural causes. 

Father pays $10,000 after daughter scratches 10 cars

A man paid $10,000 to a dealer for a car that he didn’t buy.

In Guilin, China, a man with his wife, three-year-old daughter, and a friend went car shopping at an Audi dealership. This recent November, when the parents were looking around at cars at the showroom floor, their three-year-old daughter snuck away to play around. It seems that she found a small rock and used it to doodle on 10 new luxury cars. 

The report says that the most heavily scratched ones included the Audi Q3 and 2020 Q8.

Initially, the dealer sued the parents for $28,000 because now these 10 cars cannot be sold as new since the dealer would have to have a new coat of paint to cover the scratches. The dispute was recently settled to $10,025. 

The judge told the parents that he hopes this was a lesson for the parents to strengthen their management of their child. 
That’s all for now. See you later. Stay with the light!
