In the 1990s and early 2000s, police in Saskatoon, Canada often left people in the cold so they freeze to dea*th. On November 29, 1990, the body of 17-year-old Neil Stonechild was found face down in a field across the street from a manufacturing center five miles north of Saskatoon's city center. That night, the temperature had dropped to -18 degrees Fahrenheit, but Stonechild was dressed only in a T-shirt and jeans along with a lightweight jacket and just one shoe. The last time anyone had seen Stonechild was five days earlier — when he was handcuffed in the backseat of a police cruiser with blood streaming down his face. And the last thing a friend remembers him saying was, "Help me. They're going to ki*ll me."

At the wheel was the then twenty-year-old Ricardo Adalpe Guerra, while Roberto Carrasco Flores was sitting on the passenger side. The police officer who stopped the car, James Harris, ordered the two to get out of the vehicle and put their hands on the hood. While Ricardo was following orders, Roberto pulled out a gun and shot the police officer four times, killing him. At this point, both boys ran away from the crime scene and, during their escape, Roberto shot in the direction of a passing car, killing the driver.

Roberto was found a couple of hours later, hiding in a garage, from which he fired again at another police officer, missing the target but being killed during the shootout. Ricardo was found shortly afterwards while hiding under a caravan, arrested and taken to the crime scene, where the police were questioning witnesses. The investigations were conducted in a co...

A Florida man has been sent to prison for life after killing his ex-girlfriend’s two-year-old daughter in the most horrific way. 27-year-old Travis Ray Thompson was looking after little Jacklyn Schwingel on May 3, 2022, while her mum was at work. Just 25 minutes after the mum left, he rang her and said something was wrong with the toddler. When the mum rushed home, Jacklyn wasn’t breathing properly; her tummy was swollen and she was barely alive. She died soon after. Doctors said the little girl’s spine had been completely snapped in half and she had massive internal bleeding. They worked out that Thompson had slowly bent her tiny body backwards with terrible force until her back broke. A jury found him guilty of first-degree murder on June 4, 2025. The judge gave him life in prison straight away with no chance of ever getting out. The prosecutors called it a monstrous crime and promised he will never walk free again.  Continue reading

The hooded man, 2003 While this picture may look like a fake and creepy image you might see on a creepypasta website or a strange website, the truth is it is an actual real image. This image shows an Iraqi prisoner being tortured in Abu Ghraib prison, and this is one of the tamer images that come from a series of photos that show US soldiers torturing Iraqi prisoners.  This prison was used as a symbol of terror by Saddam Hussein, but the US used it to detain suspected insurgents. This image is taken by Staff Sargent Ivan Fredrick and is one of the thousands taken at the prison. The prisoner here is undergoing psychological and physical torture. He is deprived of sight, his clothes and his dignity. He also had electric wires tied to his fingers so that he would be electrocuted if he fell off the box. His pose is also very Christlike.  The prisoner's name is Ali al-Qaisi. He was wrongly arrested for being an insurgent when he complained of American soldiers dumping rubbish on a ...
