As life seeped away from Luis Eduardo Ramirez Zavala, his body showed the loss, a forensic pathologist testified Wednesday at the Schuylkill County Courthouse at the trial of two teenagers in connection with his fatal beating in July 2008 in Shenandoah.“The brain tissue started to ooze out. The brain is dying,” said Dr. Barbara K. Bollinger, who performed the autopsy on Ramirez on July 15, the day after he died from injuries inflicted during the beating. “The cause of death is blunt force trauma to the head. The manner of death is homicide.”

Road-rage driver who killed fellow M1 motorist with one punch is jailed
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/apr/20/road-rage-death-m1-jailed
A driver who "lost control" and killed another motorist in a motorway road rage incident was jailed for 27 months today.
Graham Cahill, 44, punched 25-year-old Toby Cooke once on the hard shoulder of the M1 in Bedfordshire in May last year.
Cahill was sentenced at Luton crown court today after previously admitting manslaughter. He was also disqualified from driving for 18 months.
The court heard that Cahill, of Harrow, north London, pulled over on to the hard shoulder of the motorway to confront Cooke over his driving on May 22 last year. The network manager then felled his victim with one punch during the attack on the northbound carriageway near junction 10.
Cooke, a forklift truck driver, from Luton, Bedfordshire, died in hospital four days later from injuries caused by his head striking the ground.

Russia Karate Expert Kills Two Over Lice Infection
http://www.javno.com/en-world/russia-karate-expert-kills-two-over-lice-infection_250272
A Russian karate expert has been charged with beating to death a 61-year-old woman and her son, whom he accused of infecting his wife with lice, an investigator said Friday.
The drunk 26-year-old burst into a neighbouring room in his hostel on Tuesday and used karate moves to kill the pair, state investigator Eduard Abdullin said by telephone from Kazan, a city 700 km (430 miles) east of Moscow.
"He literally beat them to death with his hands and feet," Abdullin said. "The family were poor and drank a lot. He blamed them for infecting his wife and the entire corridor with lice."
The 58-year-old husband of the dead woman was also badly beaten, but survived.
The suspect, who studied karate for seven years, faces life in prison if convicted, Abdullin added.
