Knot the healthier breakfast

A WOMAN is facing a manslaughter charge after killing her boyfriend by throwing a mobile phone at his head during a violent row.

The 22-year- old, named locally as Roxana Adelina Lopez, has been made a formal suspect in an ongoing probe by a criminal court in Cafayate near Salta in north-west Argentina.

She has been allowed to remain on bail while the investigation continues.

Her partner has been identified as Luis Dario Guantay.

She is expected to allege she picked up the mobile and used it as a missile to defend herself after being beaten around the face by her boyfriend.

Strike

The phone hit Luis in the temple and he died after going to a hospital A&E unit complaining of severe migraines.

He died on April 18, eight days after the incident, but news of his death only became public yesterday as it emerged Roxana was at the centre of a court probe.

She has not yet been charged with any wrongdoing, as a prosecutor will only submit an indictment shortly before any trial takes place.

The victim’s mum went to police asking them to take action against the suspect after Luis died in San Bernardo hospital in the city of Salta following an operation for severe brain injuries he is said to have suffered after being hit in the head.

The argument that ended in tragedy is said to have happened at Luis’ rented home.

It is not clear what prompted the row.

A FULL breakfast with bangers and bacon could soon become a lot healthier due the invasive plant Japanese Knotweed.

Scientists have found a safe chemical in the weed that can replace the main cancer- causing chemical in processed meat.

Feared by homeowners for the destruction it causes, wrecking house prices, Japanese Knotweed contains high levels of resveratrol, also found in red wine.

And it is this that could replace the nitrite used to preserve processed meats.

Diets high in nitrite have been linked to a higher risk of colorectal cancers so alternatives are being explored.
