Teenager kills schoolmate to postpone exams

India arrested a teenager Wednesday for allegedly slitting the throat of a seven-year-old schoolmate in hopes the murder would lead to an exam being postponed, federal investigators said. The 16-year-old is accused of killing his young schoolmate in September at a smart private school near Delhi in an attempt to delay an impending test and parent-teacher meeting. Police had initially detained a bus conductor over the murder, claiming he killed the boy after the young pupil resisted a sex attack. But a spokesman for federal investigators said they had credible evidence against the “academically weak teenager, whose motive was to postpone the examination and a forthcoming parent-teacher meeting”. “He admitted during questioning that he wanted to shut the school to defer the exams and meeting,” Central Bureau of Investigation spokesman R.K. Gaur told AFP. The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, would be sent to a juvenile detention centre until his trial for murd...

An article carried by the state-controlled news agency KCNA warned the U.S. would face an “unimaginable” strike in retaliation for  carrying out naval drills  involving the U.S. aircraft carrier  USS Ronald Reagan  and for “creating tension on the eve of war” by conducting  civilian evacuation drills  in South Korea this weekend. “The U.S. is running amok by introducing under our nose the targets we have set as primary ones. The U.S. should expect that it would face unimaginable strike at an unimaginable time," KCNA stated Thursday, as reported by the South Korean  news agency Yonhap .

Celebrations swept across Australia Wednesday as voters emphatically endorsed same-sex marriage after more than a decade of divisive debate, and political leaders immediately began moves to enshrine the historic shift in law by Christmas. Thousands of marriage equality supporters took to parks and squares across the vast country, hugging, dancing and singing under clouds of glitter when the results of the two-month-long postal survey were announced. Revelers wrapped in rainbow colors swarmed the entertainment districts of Sydney, Melbourne and other cities, closing streets as the party continued late into the evening. Almost 62 percent of the 12.7 million people who  participated voted “yes” to the question: “Should the law be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry?” Just 38.4 percent voted “no”, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, which carried out the poll. Nearly 80 percent of eligible voters took part in the poll, with the “yes” vote winning a...
