Monkey chases washer woman off roof to death

A WOMAN died after she was chased off her roof by a MONKEY.

Jayanti Swain, 45, was hanging up her washing when a monkey went after her.

She panicked and tried to get away but was found lying on the ground outside by her family members who heard her shrieks. She was taken to the local hospital but declared dead on arrival.

Villagers in Odisha, India claim monkeys have been a scourge for the last few months and forest officials are not doing enough to help.

As well as destroying crops the beasts have become more aggressive to people.

The latest fatality comes after a spate of monkey- related deaths in India, including a four- month- old baby in November.

One of the primates picked up a stone and dropped it down from a terrace onto the child in Muzaffarnagar.

And last month in Mathura, a crazed monkey attacked 100 people in 10 days.

In May last year a monkey killed a

60- year- old man and injured nine others during a rampage.

And last October a 12- day- old Indian boy was snatched from his mother and killed by a monkey on the outskirts of Agra.

ROBERT William ‘ Willie’ Pickton, 71, of Port Coquitlam, British Columbia is a former pig farmer.

He is also Canada’s most notorious serial killer, convicted of the murders of six women.

He was charged in the deaths of an additional 20 women, many of them prostitutes and drug users from Vancouver’s poor Downtown Eastside but those charges were allowed to lie on file.

In December 2007 he was sentenced to life in prison, with no possibility of parole for 25 years – the longest sentence available under Canadian law for murder.

During the trial’s first day of jury evidence the Crown stated he confessed to 49 murders to an undercover police officer posing as a cellmate.

The Crown reported that Pickton told the officer that he wanted to kill another woman to make it an even 50, and that he was caught because he was “sloppy”.

On March 10, 2004, it was revealed that human flesh may have been ground up and mixed with pork.

This pork was never sold, but was handed out to friends and visitors of the farm.

Forensic analysis was very difficult because the bodies of the victims may have been left to decompose or allowed to be eaten by pigs on his farm.
