An Illinois man suspected of burying the bodies of his mother and sister in his backyard has been arrested on felony charges, officials announced Thursday.Michael Lelko, 45, is facing two felony counts of concealment of a death, reports The Associated Press.According to Lyons police Chief Thomas Herion, Michael is not charged in the deaths of his mom, 79-year-old Jean Lelko, and 44-year-old Jennifer Lelko, as the medical examiner can’t pinpoint an exact cause of death for either woman.

Author of ‘How to Murder Your Husband’ now on trial for husband’s murder NBC News reports that Michael’s brother, John Lelko, 41, has also been arrested and may face charges in the coming days, although those charges have not yet been revealed.Police were originally called to the home in Lyons Township – a suburb of Chicago – in August of 2021 after a well-being check was requested.

That’s when the bodies were found.Both bodies had been buried in plastic tubs that had been sealed with duct tape.Herion said Michael told police that his mother had died in 2015 after his sister pushed her down the stairs and that he buried his sister in the yard in 2019 after she became ill and died.He said Michael said the sister had died of COVID-19, though Herion said he didn’t believe COVID-19 existed in 2019, and Illinois officials have said they believe the first COVID-19 death in Illinois was in March 2020.“When I interviewed Michael, he admitted that he buried his mother and his sister in the yard,” Herion said. “John did not give any statements pertaining to whether he participated in that.” Surviving in style — Canadian demand for luxury bunkers through the roof “They were duct-taped completely, wrapped in blankets, placed inside, bent over,.

Philadelphia working through backlog of smoke alarm requests in wake of tragic Kensington blaze

PHILADELPHIA - As investigators work to determine what sparked a Kensington rowhome fire that killed a father and his three children last weekend, Philadelphia is battling a backlog of unfulfilled smoke alarm requests.Yamalier, 5, Yadriel, 9, and 12-year-old Alexangel Arroyo-Santana perished in a rowhome fire early Sunday morning on the 3200 block of Hartville Street in Kensington. Neighbors say their father, Alexis, also died in the blaze after he told his wife to jump out a window to safety while he went further into the home to save the children. "He had a chance to jump out, but he ended up telling his wife to jump out of the window. He’ll get the children, so he died a hero," a neighbor who asked to remain anonymous said.Fire investigators have not pinpointed what started the fire, but they said no smoke alarms were sounding when firefighters arrived. The School District of Philadelphia identified three children killed in a rowhome fire as Yamalier, 5, Yadriel, 9, and 12-year-old Alexangel.

Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard: Lawyers adjusted Heard article before publishing

Amber Heard pushed to have details of her marriage with fellow actor Johnny Depp included in an op-ed piece that she wrote about domestic violence, even though her lawyers wanted those passages removed from the article, which is now the subject of a libel lawsuit, according to evidence introduced Thursday at the trial.Jurors in the libel lawsuit Depp filed against Heard witnessed testimony Thursday from Terence Dougherty, general counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union. It was the ACLU that drafted the article under Heard’s name, reflecting her role as an ACLU ambassador on gender violence issues.Dougherty testified about the push-and-pull that occurred between the first draft and publication of the op-ed piece in The Washington Post in December 2018 — strategically timed by both the ACLU and Heard to coincide with the release of Aquaman, a movie in which she played a prominent role.
