A Texas father caught a man sexually assaulting his 4-year-old daughter and punched him in the head repeatedly, killing him, authorities said.Neither has been publicly identified.
Lavaca County Sheriff Micah Harmon says the girl was left inside the family's house during a social gathering, while other members of her family were tending to horses.
Harmon adds that the father returned to the house, caught the man in the act, and stopped him by striking him in the head several times, according to CNN.
The alleged abuser was pronounced dead on the scene, while the child was taken to a local hospital in Victoria, Texas, for examinations before being released.
The incident took place Saturday, June 9.
Harmon described the girl as, "OK, besides the obvious mental trauma."
The sheriff was asked whether they would press charges against the father; he responded:
"You have a right to defend your daughter. He acted in defense of his third person. Once the investigation is completed we will submit it to the district attorney who then submits it to the grand jury, who will decide if they will indict him."
He then described the dad as "very remorseful," regrettably stating that he didn't know the man was going to die.
Authorities were leaving the deceased man's name undisclosed, while they notified his closest relatives. Officials, on-the-spot, did not know if he had a prior criminal history

Nanny Watched As Five-Year-Old Girl Is Raped At Bolingo Hotel, Abuja



The rape of a five-year-old girl is generating the interest of the attorney general of the federation and minister of justice, Muhammed Bello Adoke (SAN), who on Wednesday applied to a Wuse Magistrate Court to take charge of its prosecution from the Police.
Canadian born Eliana Melekwe was allegedly raped at Bolingo Hotel by a certain Godwin Okon, a cleaner in the hotel.
Mr. Ejike Orji, a lawyer from the AGF's chambers, made an oral application to the court to convey the AGF's interest in taking over the matter because it involved a foreign citizen.
However, counsel to the accused, Suleiman Usman, opposed the application, arguing that the AGF could not takeover a criminal case without the fiat of an attorney general of the state, taking Abuja to possess the status of a state.

Prime Minister David Cameron And His Wife Samantha Left A Buckinghamshire Pub Without Daughter Nancy.


 
Prime Minister David Cameron left his eight-year-old daughter in a pub following a Sunday lunch, after a mix-up with his wife Samantha.
The couple's daughter Nancy wandered off to the toilets while they were arranging lifts and they only realised she was not with them when they got home, The Sun said.
Mr Cameron rushed back to the Plough Inn in Cadsden, Bucks, where he found his daughter with staff.
A Downing Street spokesman said: "The Prime Minister and Samantha were distraught when they realised Nancy wasn't with them.
"Thankfully when they phoned the pub she was there safe and well.
"The Prime Minister went down straight away to get her."
The Camerons were at the Plough Inn - near the Prime Minister's country retreat Chequers - with Nancy and their other children Arthur, six, and 22-month-old Florence, as well as two other families.
When Mr Cameron left the pub he went home in one car with his bodyguards and thought Nancy was with his wife and their other children in another car. Mrs Cameron had assumed her eldest daughter was with her father.
The mistake was only discovered when they got home.
Mr Cameron drove back to the pub and found Nancy helping staff. She was away from her parents for about 15 minutes

Ndako Mijindaadi Marries Eventhough He Might Have Lost 9 Family Members In The Dana Plane Crash.

Ndako Mijindadi, Maimuna‘s younger brother has wedding after losing nine family members in crash
As the nation still mourns the hundreds that died in the Dana Plane Crash it appears that some of the relations of the victims are starting to get over it already. and this was clearly pointed out in Ndako Mijindadi's wedding a week after he lost 9 family members who were attending his wedding in the plane crash.

Maimuna Anyene died with her four children (Kamsi, 2, twins Kayna and Kayne 1, and Kamal, 7 months), her husband, mother and other relatives in last Sunday’s DANA AIR PLANE CRASH while heading to Lagos to attend her younger brother (Ndako Mijindadi)’s wedding, which was scheduled to hold yesterday June 9th. Maimuna lived in the US, and was in Nigeria with her kids specifically to see her husband who lived mostly in Nigeria and to attend her brother’s wedding. But they all died in the ill fated flight.

Ndako Mijindadi, Maimuna‘s younger brother went ahead with his wedding despite losing Maimuna and eight other family members in that crash. The wedding held yesterday at the Incubator, Victoria Island, Lagos.

Ndako is now being heavily criticized for going ahead with the wedding, while the family was still mourning the huge loss. Some friends and well-wishers, who do not want their identity let out to the public have criticized Ndako's decision to go ahead with the wedding, considering the fact that the family was still mourning, and the deceased haven't been buried.



Do you think his decision to go ahead with the wedding barely a week after losing 9 close relations in the Tragic Plane Crash was right?
