The Missing Groom - 3
I got the site to write an article on him and his method, hopefully we might get a clue from someone and maybe even warn a future bride whose groom might go missing on the wedding night. But the chances of the second thing happening were bleak. After all, right now the would-be bride would be at www.happyhearts.com.A hit, on 25th January, 2007. Som... more...

Proud to be a MCP
Living life with prejudices is seldom easy. Especially when you know they exist. Many people believe that city-people are better living beings than village-people. Or people in western countries are better than us.And with that, thoughts also come up accusing women of being fools. The bad road habits of some of them or the look of disinterest in so... more...

Insanity Plea
The case seemed simple enough.The man was found next to his murdered wife, her blood all over him.His fingerprints on the knife plunged deep into her chest.A normal family, a happy family.Husband was an accountant, wife was a dressmaker.
