FATHER KILLS SON AFTER BEING FED-UP WITH TAKING CARE OF HIM

A Russian man killed his four-year-old son because he had grown tired of looking after him at home while his policewoman wife left for work.

Maxim Gorev, 34, and wife Yevgenia, from Nizhny Novogorod, southwest Russia, had been together for 13 years and seemed liked a perfect couple to many. The man was a stay-at home father, caring for their son Artem but had become increasingly frustrated following his wife’s promotion to the rank of detective. He did not wish to become a full-time parent but had been unable to find a steady job himself.

Over time, the couple’s arguments became more intense with the woman dividing her time between work and their child. It was after then that Gorev hatched his plan in the hope that his wife would start spending more time with him, Daily Mail UK, reports.

Picking the 4-year-old up from kindergarten, he sent her a chilling text message saying: ‘We have gone to die.’ Ignoring her calls, he then locked the child inside his car and connected a hose from the window to the exhaust pipe. When the boy eventually died, he sent his wife, who had not been allowed to leave work to find out what was happening, another message saying: ‘I have saved you from trouble.’

Returning home at the end of her shift, the worried mother found the apartment empty and called colleagues in to investigate. The child’s body was found the following day hidden amongst a pile of boxes near a garage close to their apartment. The husband, who has a criminal record for petty theft, was found hiding at his parents’ flat.

Nigeria Customs & SON ‘Fight’ Over Clearance of Fake 2 Million Sub-standard Tyres

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) on Wednesday said products standards control is the responsibility of Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), not the NCS.
The Acting Public Relations Officer, NCS, Mr Joseph Attah, made the clarification while reacting to the recent seizure of substandard tyres by SON in Lagos.
He told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja that the function of customs was to collect duty and ensure that contraband did not enter the country.
Two Chinese men were caught for allegedly importing the substandard tyres worth over N5 billion in Lagos.
He said the organisation’s duty was not to determine quality but only to collect duty.
According to him, once an importer gets a clearance document, certifying an item okay by SON, customs would only collect duty and release such item.

“People who sometime ask question, need to know the function of customs and the function of other regulatory agencies. Before our men clear an item, a personnel of SON will be present to certify it okay.
“If the personnel out of negligence or did not carry out his duty properly and signed that the item is okay and cleared it, customs will collect duty and release such item because of SON clearance document.
“The issue of standard is in the hands of SON, customs only to collects duty so far that is not contraband.

“We are not in a position to determine quality, the job of determining quality is in the hand of SON and if it is a food item, the job of determining whether it is fit for human consumption is NAFDAC.
“So in this kind of situation, it is only when you trance the clearing document, you will know whether a personnel of SON is involved or not.
“There is no way customs will release containers of such tyres without a clearance certificate by the SON,’’ Attah said.

He said that during every examination of an item, if any importer got a clearance document signed by SON certifying such item okay and attached it to that of customs document, such item would be released after duty payment.
Attah cited an instance that if Garri was not prohibited and NAFDAC official signed an examination paper certifying it okay, once customs officials got evidence that NAFDAC had cleared it, duty would be collected and the wares released.
It was recalled that SON arrested two Chinese nationals, who were said to have imported substandard tyres.
