ANOTHER GAY MAN'S KILLER GETS WHAT HE DESERVES!

Terry Mangum has been sentenced for life for murdering a gay man he met at a bar back on June 4, 2007. At first this guy claimed he was insane to get the charges dropped but was later denied. This guy is nuts though. He believes he brought justice because gays are disturbed and perverted. Hmmm.. O-k-a-y?!?!?!?

Mangum, 27, of Cypress, was convicted of stabbing 46-year-old Kenneth Cummings in the head with a knife at Cummings’ Pearland home, then trying to clean up the blood before burying the body in a shallow grave on a ranch south of San Antonio.

Shortly after the murder, Mangum admitted to the crime in a jailhouse interview with a reporter from The Facts, a Brazoria County newspaper. Mangum told the reporter, who testified during the weeklong trial, that God had called on him to “carry out a code of retribution” by killing a gay man because “sexual perversion” is “the worst sin.”

Mangum later pleaded not guilty to the crime by reason of insanity. Psychologists testified during the trial that Mangum is delusional and schizophrenic, according to The Facts. Mangum, who went by the names of biblical characters during interviews with the reporter and police, believed he was “anointed and appointed by God” to commit the murder, the psychologists testified.

In addition to convicting Mangum, jurors found that the murder was a hate crime, which could make it less likely that he’ll be granted parole. Mangum won’t be eligible for parole for 30 years.

A friend of Cummings’ who’d accompanied him to the gay bar E.J.’s on June 4, 2007, testified that Cummings sent Mangum a drink, The Facts reported. The three played pool and Mangum was flirting with Cummings, the friend testified.

Cummings and Mangum talked on the phone later that night and were captured on surveillance video purchasing beer and wine in a grocery store.

Four days later, after Cummings was reported missing, police found blood drops in his home and his credit cards in a vehicle belonging to Mangum.

A trail of credit card purchases led police to Mangum’s grandfather’s ranch in Poteet, just south of San Antonio.

Cummings’ body, which was identified by dental records, was found burned and buried in a dry stock tank a week after the murder. [SOURCE]

Scary Stuff. I really can't believe there are people out there like this dude. Just absolutely disgusting!

AUSTRALIA: 20 YR OLD KILLED BY HIS 45 YR OLD BOYFRIEND

This is a messed up story. This poor boy above, Matthew Leveson's murder was believed to be connected to a Hate Crime. This does not seem to be the case:

Michael Peter Atkins, 45, was arrested at 7am today at his Cronulla unit, with police later charging him over the death of 20-year-old Matthew Leveson, who disappeared in September last year.

Mr Leveson was last seen by his brother Peter at the popular gay club ARQ on September 23, when he left the inner-Sydney nightspot with Atkins, with whom he was living at the time.
Atkins later told police he had seen him the next day in Cronulla.


But Mr Leveson was only reported missing when he did not turn up to work at a Hurstville call centre on September 25.

Two days later, police found Mr Leveson's empty Toyota Seca at Waratah Oval in Sutherland, just a short distance from his home.

Mr Leveson's parents said they were sickened to learn Atkins had been arrested over their son's murder.

"Sick, sick to the stomach," Faye Leveson told reporters.

His father, Mark, said the family had known Atkins for about 12 months prior to his son's disappearance, and the family now felt "betrayed". [SOURCE]

Wow.. That is nuts! Luckily, Atkins has been refused police bail to appear in Sutherland Local Court tomorrow.

TRANS MURDERED IN EAST LONDON

Just after reporting about Angie another Trans-attack has occured in south east London, England. Allegedly, a teenager who had allowed her to perform oral sex on him decided to strangle her the act.

Kellie Telesford’s body was found at her Thornton Heath flat in November after police responded to calls from friends and forced entry into the apartment.

"Kellie Telesford was born in Trinidad, she was aged 39 at the time of her death," Sally O'Neill QC, prosecuting, told the court, according to the CroydonToday.co.uk.

“Although born a man with the name Kayode Dexter Telesford, she was a pre-operative transgender female and lived her life as a woman. him.

Miss O’Neill said that the defendant, 18-year-old Shanniel Hyatt, went back to her flat on the evening of November 17th and, after she had performed oral sex on him, he became angry when he discovered she was a transsexual.

Hyatt told police after his arrest on November 29th that he did not know she was trans woman during the time he spent with her and denied that he had found out at her flat and become violent.

The prosecution claims that Hyatt, who was 17 at the time, strangled her with a brown scarf, covered her body with a towel and stole items including Kellie’s Oyster card, which he used to get the bus home. [SOURCE]

Absolutely disgusting. Although, the murderer says that he didn't strangle her because she was Trans, its still an awful thing to hear in the community. It still sounds fishy though. I think deep down he found out that Kellie was trans and that is why he strangled her but then again i am no prosecutor. RIP Kellie

ANGIE'S MURDERER FOUND!

An update on the Trans Teen murder: The murderer was caught. He basically gave every little detail on how he killed Angie. Its very harsh and sad on how he approached the situation. Poor Angie.. RIP.

Allen Ray Andrade, 31, faces several charges, including second-degree murder in the death of Justin Zapata, 20, who was known as Angie Zapata. The victim’s bloodied, battered body was discovered in her apartment by her sister on July 17.

Andrade told investigators that he met Zapata through MocoSpace, a social network designed primarily for cell phone users, according to an arrest affidavit released by Greeley police. The two met July 15 and spent the day together.

Andrade told investigators that Zapata performed oral sex on him but wouldn’t let him touch her, according to the affidavit.

He said he also spent the night at Zapata’s apartment, but in separate beds. The next day, Zapata left Andrade alone in her apartment, and Andrade noticed several photographs that led him to question Zapata’s gender.

Andrade confronted Zapata when she got back. He grabbed Zapata’s crotch area, felt male genitalia and became angry, the affidavit says. He told investigators that he took a fire extinguisher off a shelf, struck Zapata twice in the head and thought he "killed it." [SOURCE]
How Horrific!

TEEN WHO SHOT LAWERENCE KING BEING TRIALED AS AN ADULT


Lawrence King and Brandon McInerney

Most you all know about the tragic story about a young 15 yr who was shot by a classmate because he was gay. The judge in charge of the case wants to have Brandon McInerney stand trial as an adult for his actions.

A judge in California has ruled that that a 14-year-old boy who is to stand trial for the murder of his classmate be dealt with as if he were an adult.

As a result of Ventura County Superior Court Judge Douglas Daily's ruling, Brandon McInerney could face life in prison. [SOURCE]

But.. Get this. Lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans activists had urged that the boy be dealt with by a juvenile court. Crazy stuff eh? I dunno where I stand. I do believe when you're at that age you know what you are doing and maybe he should be charged as an adult. Killing someone is serious stuff so it should be dealt with in a serious manner.
