Love Blossoms From Dreamland

LONDON

Love can come from anywhere. An Englishman, David Brown (24), got a wife after calling the phone number he obtained from his dream. It started when Brown got up one morning after a night out with his friends. In his sleep a phone number kept circling his head. Finally Brown decided to call the number and left a message, "Did we meet last night?". On the other end of the phone was Michelle Kitson (22). Initially she was confused to receive a call from a stranger. However she decided to reply the phone. They both started to exchange messages. After a while they met and fell in love. "I was feeling a bit awkward at first, but I fell for him in the end." Said Kitson to Daily Mail newspaper. "Mom and Dad warned me 'he could be a serial killer on the move'. But I knew there was something special in him." Continued Kitson. After going on a date for sometime, this couple got married and went to Goa India for honeymoon. Brown said :"I don't know how her phone number could get into my head. Her number only differs a little from mine." Brown could be a psychic without his realising it, don't you think?

She put some money on the table in her room. She went inside the toilet and watched out from there. Her trap turned out to work just fine. A janitor was seen entering the room and took the money. He was not aware that he was being monitored by the grandma. The grandma soon pressed the alarm button in the toilet to let people in the nursing home know there was a thief.

Crime Out Of Love

SYDNEY

A husband and wife, sentenced to 5 year imprisonment in year 2001 for murdering their blind and mentally retarded child, was freed by Sydney court order on Wednesday, 4 April 2007. A judge said that they did the crime out of love. The prosecutor sued Raymond Sutton (63) and his wife, Margaret Sutton (60). They were found guilty in 2001 by New South Wales high court of murdering their son Matthew (28). At that time, judge Graham Barr sentenced them to 5 year imprisonment provided that they were well behaved. Should they misbehave within that 5 year, they both would then be imprisoned for 25 years. It was not mentioned how the son was murdered. The parents, however, got deeply depressed and stressed having done what they did. The son, who was blind by birth and loved music, "died" one day before undergoing brain surgery to recover his hearing and smelling senses. "With all our love to Matt, we borrowed his courage and spirit to free him from all misery and diseases." Said Margaret Sutton. In court Raymond Sutton said that their son was given a sleeping pill before "being freed from the world". Their statements showed that they were very depressed indeed.
