WOMAN FLEW 4,800KM TO FIND HER “ONLINE LOVE”, MURDERED & BODY ORGANS SOLD

0

Blanca Arellano, 51, was a Mexican yearning for love.

She flew more than 4800km to see a Peruvian man she met on a gaming online.

Flew for love

On October 31, Arellano flew from Mexico City to Lima, Peru, to meet Juan Pablo Jess Villafuerte, a 37-year-old man.

Her last destination was the coastal town of Huacho, where Villafuerte lived and from whence her family had last heard from her on November 7.

According to the police, she told her niece Karla Arellano that her relationship with Villafuerte was going well and that she was in love at the time.

Missing

However, after two weeks of no communication from Arellano, her niece requested assistance on Twitter.

“I never imagined I’d be in this position, but today I’m asking for your help in spreading this message and finding one of the most loved and significant persons in my life.” Blanca Olivia Arellano Gutiérrez, my aunt, went missing in Peru on Monday, November 7. “We are concerned for her life,” the tweet said.

According to her relatives, Arellano and Villafuerte had been in an internet romance for several months before she traveled for Peru. She frequently expressed her affections for Villafuerte and stated that she was “glad and at peace” with her relationship.

Her niece Karla was the first to notice something was amiss when she fell silent.

“I contacted Juan P [Villafuerte] because he was the only person she knew in Peru, and that’s when our nightmare began,” her niece posted on Twitter.

Arellano’s niece uploaded a screenshot of her initial discussion with Villafuerte, in which she urged him to contact her aunt.

“Is she all right?” she inquired.

Villafuerte stated that he had ceased communicating with her several days ago and that “she chose to leave because I couldn’t deliver the life she desired, became weary with me, and departed to get a plane ticket back to Mexico.”

Murder

After the post went viral, Peruvian authorities took action. 

On November 10, they discovered a severed finger on the Huacho beach. 

According to detectives, the fingers had been removed and still had a silver ring on them.

A day later, officials discovered a faceless head and an arm. The next day, a body with no internal organs surfaced on the same shore. 

The ring on the found finger let them identify Arellano through her relatives. Peruvian officials apprehended Villafuerte as the prime suspect in Arellano’s murder on November 17.

Organ Trafficking

Juan Pablo Villafuerte was detained on human organ trafficking allegations,” 

Villafuerte, a medical student, allegedly shared TikTok movies of human parts for days after Arellano went missing. Blood traces were discovered around his residence, according to investigators.

0

Japan’s victory was not expected as, during most of the match, German held a strong position until the later stages of the game. (Japan 2 – 1 Germany).

The victory is considered historic and fans in Japan were seen on various social media celebrating for the win.

Shibuya Crossing

After the match ended, fans were seen dashing through the famous Shibuya crossing. It was described as:

The most organized celebration in Tokyo after Japan beat Germany. Fans rush Shibuya Crossing but responsibly return to sidewalks when cars have to drive.”

Cleaning up the stadium after the match ends

The antics of the Japanese people often amazed other people around the world as they kept the place clean after using it.

They also pick up any other trash that were left behind.

Fifa reported that the Japan team cleaned up their locker room after the match with Germany

The team cleaned up the locker room and kept away items used like towels and keeping the room clean, Japan.

After a historic victory against Germany at the #FIFAWorldCup on Match Day 4, Japan fans cleaned up their rubbish in the stadium, whilst the @jfa_samuraiblue left their changing room at Khalifa International Stadium like this. Spotless. Domo Arigato.

Paper Cranes

The team also left a note written in both Japanese and Arabic saying “Thank You” along with several paper cranes.

In Japan, it is believed that the paper crane represents honor, riches, loyalty, and longevity. These imposing traits are what give the crane its unique importance, and why the Japanese thought that anybody who had the patience and devotion to fold 1,000 origami cranes would be awarded good fortun

VAN DRIVER OPENS DOOR WHILE DRIVING TO SHOW MIDDLE FINER ALONG PIE

On November 17, a van driver was seen on film opening his vehicle’s door while the vehicle is moving and pointing his middle finger while travelling on the Pan Island Expressway (PIE).

The man was also seen biting on a cigarette while doing so.

Dangerous and offensive

 The video was posted on the SG Road Vigilante’s Youtube page..

The cam-car driver honks at the van while merging lanes to get on the PIE in the video, The van driver seems to be unhappy about the cam-car and stares at the vehicle with his doors open before giving the finger.

While the van driver’s behaviour is considered extremely danger

Opening the door while the vehicle is moving, hands not on the steering wheel and turning his head around. Netizens said the cam-car should not have blasted his horn all the way

Here are what netizens think:

  • Regardless of whether who’s wrong or right, that was reckless without a doubt. He opened the door while moving, had eyes off the road and had two hands off the wheel.
  • Manual car / both hand off wheel / eyes off road, legendary driver in some way
  • The merging lane must be wait and give way to the first person , must follow the road rules ,no commands
  • Cam Driver is just SORE that his powerful car didn’t manage to overtake NV200 at the merging lane.
  • How could this company Setsco hire such driver? Did he even know he carried his company name when opening the door?
  • Dangerous driving with full concentration with right hand on door handle, Left hand showing off his longest asset n mouth with cigarette n eyes concentration not to the front road but fully on whether cam car receive his actions. Clearly a case of dangerous driving n should be reported to TP or his company for further action. Thanks

WOMAN DOESN’T WANT MUM-IN-LAW TO MOVE IN, TOO MUCH “HORROR STORIES” ONLINE

The possibility of staying with MIL

Hi all, would like to seek some advice regarding my situation.

I am staying with my spouse in our own apartment as we both agreed on not having either of our family members to stay with us. However, my spouse has recently brought up the possibility of having their mother to stay with us because she is a single mother who is living alone.

While I am able to empathise with my spouse, I am also hesitant and reluctant to have my privacy taken away. Being unable to feel comfortable in my own space is really sad. Reading so many horror stories of staying together with the MIL further affirms my stand of not wanting my MIL to live with us.

I have voiced out my thoughts and my spouse is not very happy about it, obviously. Somehow, I can’t help but feel that it is unfair on my part to have to accept this change in the near future.

Other suggestions provided are: to visit the MIL more frequently, to engage a helper to help out with house chores and to inform us if anything happens when we are not around, have the other siblings play a part in this as well.

While it has yet to happen, my MIL has also been dropping hints on moving in with us. I am really at a loss. What can I do to make this situation better for everyone?

Thanks for reading.

SCDF FORCED ENTRY TO FIGHT PMD FIRE @ HOUGANG HDB, 2 PEOPLE SENT TO HOSPITAL

0

[Fire @ Block 699, Hougang Street 52]

At about 2:30 p.m. today (23 Nov), SCDF was alerted to a fire at the above-mentioned location.

Upon SCDF’s arrival, thick black smoke was emitting from a living room of a unit on the 5th floor.

Firefighters from Sengkang Fire Station conducted forcible entry to gain access into the unit. The fire, which was confined to the living room, was extinguished with a water jet.

While the firefighting operation was ongoing, SCDF rescued two persons from the kitchen and carried them out of the smoke-logged unit. The two persons were conveyed by SCDF ambulances to Singapore General Hospital and KK Women’s & Children Hospital for smoke inhalation.

About 20 residents from the affected block were evacuated by the Police as a precautionary measure.

Preliminary investigation indicates that the fire had likely originated from a personal mobility device (PMD) that was charging in the living room.

SCDF would like to remind the public on the prevention of PMD/PAB fires, including not to charge batteries for an extended period of time or overnight. Do not purchase or use non-original batteries. See the accompanying infographic for more fire safety tips.

WOMAN’S CLIENT TRIED TO MAKE A MOVE ON HER, SAYS HIS WIFE “WOULDN’T MIND”

‘Client makes a move on me

I have a client who is very rich and drives nice cars. However, despite his wealth, he had to “buy” a Vietnamese wife.

There are in my view a few reasons to this. He is honestly quite horrendous looking. He also has an equally ugly personality and very inflated ego.

Anyway, recently he tried to make a move on me. Told me that his wife wouldn’t mind and in fact she’s close friends with all his female friends.

Said that the wife understood that she needed to be okay with all of these because it was not a marriage of love.

They have one kid together.

I am very weirded out and to be honest disgusted. And slightly offended that he made a move on me thinking I’d be okay with it all.

Netizens’ comments

The fact that you post here, you are already considering. Though inside out he’s ugly, but money n nice car are attractive. You won’t lose out and beggars can’t be choosers!

And you must have given him the impression that you are available otherwise he won’t make the move on you. If you are not considering and find it offensive, why bother to make this post 😏

I hv been married for many years; due to difference in values & background; patience & love is totally exhausted out, what is left wz are family commitment tt legally binds us 2gether.

Maybe we can collaborate, you get the guy, I get my son. (And yes, I am serious abt it)

Netizens’ comments

  1. Refundable if expectations not met? 2nd hand stuffs shouldn’t be posted here lah.
  2. Got pic bo? Asking for a friend.
  3. You put up a carousel item ba. Need photo of face, body with clothes and in swimming trunks only. Then need height and weight and length and girth. And then annual income how much etc. If not good who wants sia. Tons of unwanted guys out in the market, you wanna sell second hand need to attract ppl ma
  4. Got warranty or free look period?
  5. Still under warranty? Got original receipt?
  6. Can I provide you with my ex wife’s contact?

  8. As any sales and collaboration need a visual sample of prospect, will u be kind to provide such for our load of potential clients. At least show a pic of u / ur outcast product so that they know this is genuine and not a scam..

MUM-IN-LAW UPSET SON’S SICK WIFE CAN’T WORK, ACCUSES HER OF LEECHING OFF HER HUSBAND

0

Mother in-law not happy that I don’t work

Just seeking an advice from all married couples here.

I am currently living with my in laws and my husband. My husband is malaysian and I am Singaporean. Due to my liver disease, low blood sugar and unstable health, I can only work part time (2-3 days in SG), the rest of the days I am staying in Johor.

Lately my MIL have been starting to mind that i don’t have a full time job and only staying home to do housework. Earlier just a few mins ago, she said it quite nastily that I only know how to feed on my husband like a worm. She say I expect my husband to pay for everything in the house. I do give both in laws their allowance, on top of that I also have to give my parents in Singapore their allowance, while I am only earning like 700-800 per month. To be honest I do not have savings, because of giving allowance.

These days I wash my husband’s clothes and ironed them. My mil said I stole her job. The same thing happened last night when I cooked for my husband.

MIL have openly said that she prefers the other daughter in law, my husband’s brother’s wife. She said she is pregnant with her grandson and working full time 6 days earning RM2000. My husband and I have no plans to have children.

I will like to ask, so being sick and unhealthy is also my fault? There were times I fainted at work, and woke up either at KTPH or TTSH. I do not know how to find a full time job given a body like mine. I have also friends in Singapore whom mentioned I am just feeding on my husband, slack at home and do nothing.

Should I complain about my mil to my husband? I do not want my husband to get sandwiched btw him and his mum. My husband have plans to buy a house after chinese new year. The thoughts of my husband is he doesn’t want me to get a full time job, he only want me to be a housewife. He is doing quite well near to 5 digits per month.

Appreciate all advices given here.

I was unlucky had a fall this morning (21.11.22 approx 11am) near khatik blk 484, my face kiss the hard floor, so my forehead and nose are bleeding and the ppl there told me this clinic is good ask me to go there.

When I reached the clinic, I shown the staff my wounded face and hope to see first as I afraid I have head injury, but one of the staff told me… you need to wait, we are busy now and many patients, my hubby ask can we see first as the clinic only a couple of patients, she keeps telling us need to wait and continues with her work and dont really want to entertain us.

I have no choice to leave the clinic and go to the next clinic besides this clinic. The clinic staff advise me go direct to hospital as they can’t help much as i bleeding badly and might need a scan on head, don’t waste the money here. I thank you the lady from this clinic.
