New research has uncovered evidence of a brutal massacre dating back 4,000 years at Charterhouse Warren Farm in southwestern England, possibly linked to acts of cannibalism. The remains of at least 37 individuals, including men, women, and children, were found in a deep shaft, exhibiting signs of violent trauma such as snapped femurs and bashed skulls. Researchers suggest these victims were likely captives or surprise attack victims, slaughtered in a single event between 2210 and 2010 BC. Notably, some bones show human bite marks, and tool marks indicate flesh was stripped for consumption. The findings challenge previous assumptions about the region's peaceful Bronze Age, revealing a unique case of mass violence and ritualistic body processing. Lead researcher Rick Schulting highlighted the unexpected nature of these findings, suggesting that escalating revenge killings among communities may have driven this horrific event, marking a significant deviation from typical burial practices of the time.

Published: Dec 22 2024, 7 pm ISTeznews.inA 50-year-old Saudi psychiatrist, Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, has been remanded in custody after allegedly driving into a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, killing five and injuring over 200. Authorities charged him with murder and attempted murder, amid scrutiny of the German government's failure to act on prior warnings about his threats. Abdulmohsen, an anti-Islam activist who had lived in Germany for nearly two decades, had a history of online threats against German citizens and had been flagged by Saudi intelligence for inciting violence. Following the attack, Chancellor Olaf Scholz condemned the "terrible" incident and called for national unity, while facing criticism over security lapses. Both far-right and far-left parties demanded accountability, questioning why Abdulmohsen was not deemed a threat despite previous assessments. The motive remains unclear, but frustration over Germany's refugee policies may have played a role, according to prosecutors.
