New England Patriots star 'brutally gunned down his friend because he talked to the "wrong people" at a nightclub' - as he is arrested and charged with murder


By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez picked up his friend Odin Lloyd at his house, drove him to an abandoned industrial park and brutally executed him with five gunshots - all because Lloyd talked to the 'wrong people' at a nightclub, prosecutors have revealed.
Hernandez, a 23-year-old tight end who had a $37.5million NFL contract, was arrested at his mansion in North Attleboro, Massachusetts, on Wednesday and charged with murder and weapons violations.
Less than two hours after his arrest, the Patriots cut Hernandez from the team - despite paying him a $12.5million signing bonus last year.
The arrest caps off more than a week of intense media scrutiny. Lloyd, a semi-professional football player who was dating the sister of Hernandez's girlfriend, was found murdered execution-style less than a mile from Hernandez's $1.3million home on June 17.

Hernandez is being held without bail, with the judge citing the gravity of the crime as the main reason behind his decision. Hernandez has hired two of the nation's top criminal defense attorneys, who maintain that the evidence against him is 'circumstantial.'
According to the Boston Globe, prosecutors revealed that Hernandez 'orchestrated' the murder of Lloyd because he had talked to a group of people that Hernandez 'had trouble with' at a Boston nightclub on Friday night.
Dead Spin reports that prosecutors have a video showing Hernandez with a handgun saying 'You can't trust anyone anymore' before making the trip to pick up Lloyd. Read more: dailymail.co.uk

Mushikiwabo to UN: Enhance civilian protection

By Eugene Kwibuka Rwanda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation has urged the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to invest more energy in the prevention of conflicts for better protection of civilians living in conflict-torn areas. Rwanda’s Foreign minister, Louise Mushikiwabo Louise Mushikiwabo made the call during an open debate on the protection of civilians in armed conflict which the UNSC held in New York on Tuesday. “Rwanda’s core message today is that enhancing the protection of civilians in armed conflict requires action before a conflict starts. The proliferation of non-state armed groups makes civilian protection both more urgent, and harder to achieve,” she said. For better protection of civilians in armed-conflict areas, the minister emphasised the need to increase investments in professionalising the military and police forces through adequate training. “Only when the leadership of armed forces shares the international...

He was 75. The death, from complications from sepsis, was confirmed by his manager, Tom Goldfogle. Mr. Brown had been hospitalized for pneumonia.

Mr. Brown said the style got its name because “the music j...
