Pregnant bride-to-be stabbed to death a day before her wedding




A woman who was eight months pregnant has been found stabbed to death in her apartment on the day before her wedding, US police say.
Vindalee Smith, 38, was found on the floor of her apartment in the East Flatbush section of Brooklyn, New York with a gaping wound in her neck on Saturday. It was not clear how long she had been dead before the body was discovered by her landlord. Her unborn child did not survive.
I can’t even begin to imagine who would want to do that. It would be the devil, to kill a woman with a child in her stomach. They killed two people
There was no sign of forced entry, and no weapon was recovered, police said. Investigators are looking for a possible suspect. They interviewed her friends and family, and spoke to her fiance.
“I can’t even begin to imagine who would want to do that,” her friend, Sybil Samuel, told local newspapers. “It would be the devil, to kill a woman with a child in her stomach. They killed two people.”
Smith had four children in their teens and 20s, friends said. A baby shower had been planned for Saturday evening, followed by a small wedding on Sunday. Friends told reporters that Smith had met her fiance about a year ago.
Smith was a devout Seventh-Day Adventist and attended New Dimension Church, where she was supposed to get married. Congregation members were concerned when she didn’t show up for morning service.
“She was always on time – always the first person at church,” Tyler Harrigan told the New York Daily News. “When the news came to the church, the whole church broke down. We started to bawl. All the children were crying.”
A crowd of mourners gathered outside Smith’s home, praying and weeping, and singing hymns. The church pastor, Reverend Ferron Francis, told the Daily News that Smith had once feuded with a former neighbour who threatened to kill her, but it was months ago and the trouble had stopped when she moved to the new apartment.
Some friends said that Smith once worked for a home health care agency, but may have been recently unemployed.
An autopsy was scheduled for Sunday.

Snoop Lion Excommunicated From The Rastafari Community

Snoop Lion excommunicated from the Rastafari Community, according to Bunny Wailer! Bunny has always had his doubts about  Snoop Lion ‘s intent and now his skepticism has taken an even stronger stance, that of excommunication. The news was broken via his  Facebook  profile and via  press release . Recently Snoop Lion has struggled to convince the Rastafari and Reggae community that he is sincere about his profession of, and transition to the faith, principles and beliefs of Rastafari. Most doubtful is Bunny Wailer the only living member of the original Wailer. ‘ Excommunication is a religious censure used to deprive, suspend, or limit membership in a religious community or to restrict certain rights within it. Some groups use the term disfellowship instead, ‘ stated Bunny’s official release. With that said, this would surely deprive Snoop Lion from direct contact to some elders within the Rastafarian community also, access to vital information and place of wo...
