Wife Shows Up To Her Own Funeral After Husband’s Failed Murder Plot 

 

Woman Shows Up To Her Own Funeral
 
Via The Independent– A woman had the shock of a lifetime for her husband.

Noela Rukundo sat waiting outside her home, waiting for one person – her husband. 

But it wasn’t the heartwarming reunion you’d expect, rather the man was more than surprised, he was terrified.

That’s because Rukundo’s husband, Balenga Kalala, allegedly hired a team of hit men to kill his wife while she returned to her native Burundi in early 2015. They told him they killed her, while in reality they released her, but not before telling her that Kalala hired them in November 2014 and giving her a memory card with recorded conversations between Kalala and the gang of hitmen.

When Rukundo visited her husband after her own memorial, held in her home, he thought she was a ghost, going so far as touching her shoulder, expecting his hand to pass through. 

When it didn’t, he jumped then started screaming.

Eventually, police told Rukundo to call Kalala, who police said confessed to her. That confession and the pleading for forgiveness was recorded. 

Kalala pleaded guilty to incitement to murder in December. He was sentenced to nine years in prison. 

5 Year Old Georgia Girl Dies In Freak Accident On Playground 

  

Via WSBTV– A local medical examiner has a message for parents following the tragic death of a little girl on a school playground.

Five-year-old Tyrah Debruhl died Monday while playing on the monkey bars during recess.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s Chief Medical Examiner Jonathan Eisenstat said parents, teachers, anyone who spots a child standing up or goofing off on a jungle gym should yell at them and tell them to play on it the correct way.

In this case, he said the little girl was stuck and she would have needed immediate help.

Flowers and teddy bears now greet students, faculty and staff as they enter the Newton County Theme School to honor Tyrah, who was a kindergartner at the school.

“She got into a position where she couldn’t lift her own body weight out. Being 5 years old, you don’t have upper body strength to get out of a compromised position like that,” Eisenstat told Channel 2’s Liz Artz.

Yashica Cox told Artz that her mother worked with Tyrah through a school program sponsored by the sheriff’s office. She said her mother’s heart is broken right along with the tight-knit community.

“It actually brought her to tears knowing this little girl died,” Cox said. “It really hurt her knowing somebody’s child is not going home.”

The GBI’s chief medical examiner said he’s never seen an accident like this in his 15-year career.

“This was a freak accident. A horrible, tragic, freak accident. The chances of this happening again are extremely minimal,” Eisenstat said.

He told Artz that Tyrah basically got stuck, cutting off both the blood and air flow. He said someone would have had to have grabbed her immediately from the bars.

“Within a minute. It would have to be fairly quick,” Eisenstat said.

For Cox, she said you can’t have too much supervision.

“Just pay closer attention to your students,” she said. “There are a lot of them, but just pay attention.”

The school district released a statement saying 10 adults were actively supervising the day the incident happened and gave Tyrah medical assistance the minute they realized she was in trouble.
