Friends and family of a B.C. woman are in mourning a week after she was found dead in her Sydney, Australia apartment. Amber Haleta has spent days creating posters covered with pictures of 34-year-old Tatiana Dokhotaru, a friend she met in Surrey, B.C., more than a decade ago. “(She was) kindest, sweetest, most loving, (and) caring,” Haleta said. “She was the first person to take me to the gym, to show me designer clothes.

She was full of life.” Dokhotaru moved to Australia in 2012. She married a man named Danny Zayat, and together they had a son.

Haleta alleges Dokhotaru soon began to complain about domestic abuse and sent videos of her injuries. “The reason she didn’t call the police sooner is because she said, ‘I can’t take (my son) away from his (father).

I can’t have my son not have a father, ” Haleta told Global News. “And ultimately, she lost her life.” The mother and son came back to Vancouver to visit her parents last summer.

'Anti-drifting' bill introduced days after illegal car meet-ups turned deadly

PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia City Council is now taking up the issue of illegal street racing days after illegal car meet-ups across the city culminated in a deadly officer-involved shooting.6th District Councilmember Mike Driscoll introduced an "anti-drifting" bill on Thursday that would define "drifting," as well as "doughnuts" and "spin-outs," in the city’s reckless driving code. The bill would allow penalties of $2,000 for participants, and the ability for police to seize any vehicle that is being used to "drift" on city property.Driscoll says the bill was in the works, but after seeing videos and aftermath of the illegal meet-up at Cottman and Torresdale Avenue in his district last weekend, he wanted to get it out this week.It was co-signed by Councilmember Mark Squilla and Councilmember Katherine Gilmore Richardson, and will now head to committee."We have to send a strong message that we’re not going to tolerate this, and I tell you what, once we start seizing this vehicles, I think we’re going to get their attention," Driscoll said.The introduction of the bill comes on the same day 18-year-old Anthony Allegrini Jr. was laid to rest.

Philadelphia, New Jersey under 'critical' wildfire threat as unusual dry thunderstorm pattern looms

PHILADELPHIA - A highly unusual weather pattern is bringing critically dangerous wildfire conditions to a swath of the Northeast, including the Philadelphia and New Jersey area.Meanwhile, wildfire smoke from multiple blazes already burning across Canada has flooded the skies with renewed haze and poor air quality.A deep and dry layer of air moved into the Great Lakes Monday night and is spreading into parts of the Northeast on Tuesday, dropping the humidity to as low as 25% and bringing a swath of breezy, gusty winds.(FOX Weather)Meanwhile, an upper-level trough of low pressure is expected to trigger a round of "dry" thunderstorms across parts of the mid-Atlantic – common in the Desert Southwest but rare in the East.WHY DRY THUNDERSTORMS POSE WILDFIRE RISKSWith the dry air in place, any rain may evaporate before reaching the ground, meaning lightning strikes may come without any wetting rainfall. With recent dry weather leaving the ground parched, any lighting strike could start a fire that would have the potential for rapid spread amid the breezy and dry conditions.(FOX Weather)NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has issued a "critical" wildfire risk – a level 2 on its 3-rung scale for fire weather danger – for nearly 8 million people around the Philadelphia and southern New Jersey area.
