BIZARRE: Father Beat's 7-Year-Old Son To Death and Feed His Remains To Pigs [PHOTO]

Michael Jones of Kansas City, who was arrested for attacking his wife, has also been suspected by the police of feeding his 7-year-old son to pigs after beating him to death.<br /><br><br /><br>When Jones, 44, was first held on suspicions of assaulting his wife at their home and firing a gun at her, police didn't suspect they would make a shocking discovery at the home he shared with his wife and kids.<br /><br><br /><br>Acting on a tip off, the police detectives searched the family's backyard in Wyandotte County, where they found the decomposing remains of their missing son.<br /><br><br /><br>Local women, who knew the family, said the couple had eight children, but their son had gone missing earlier this year. They also claimed Jones' wife added livestock to the barn in September.<br /><br><br /><br>"Their house was horrible", WSFA.com quoted an anonymous woman as saying. <br /><br><br /><br>"Their house was just filthy. The kids lived in filth. Trash everywhere. Dried food all over the house".<br /><br><br /><br>It was also learnt that former babysitters, who worked for the family, revealed that several people reached out to the Kansas Department for Children and Families with concerns about the Jones children.<br /><br><br /><br>The seven other children are believed to be safe and in protective custody.<br /><br><br /><br>According to a police source, investigators fear the remains are the result of the child being fed to pigs after being beaten to death although the remains have yet to be identified.<br /><br><br /><br>The police have now charged Jones with battering and assaulting his wife on Wednesday and also with "torturing or cruelly beating" his 7-year-old son sometime between May 1 and Sept. 28.<br /><br><br /><br>He is expected to make his first appearance in Wyandotte County District Court tomorrow.

Luckily for him, he was ordained just in time to join others at the closing session of the Second Vatican Council, and after the demise of Archbishop Heerey after a long period of illness, the young Francis Arinze succeeded him, on June 26, 1967.<p>"What we are celebrating today is a combination of fidelity, heroism, determination, endurance, faith and joyful service of the Lord We are paying honour to whom honour is due: first to God, and appreciation to his Eminence.<p>"Your Eminence, when in 2005, the whole world acclaimed you a worthy Papa bile, it was not by chance. It showed that your capacity was recognized. If on that occasion you were not chosen as a Pope, surely it is not because of your incapacity, but because our continent was not yet ripe for such an election. You have been a sign of hope to many, even those who have not met you in person." .<p>Former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon described Cardinal Arinze as one of the great minds that contributed to the growth and spread of Christianity in the world.<p>He said:<p>"Cardinal Arinze, who is now 83 years old, has been very consistent in the service to God and humanity. I want to use this opportunity to urge him to continue being consistent in the service of God and humanity. He is a good sheppard that has been consistent in leading his flock. He is a true man of God and I urge him to continue, he is my elder brother, who is my senior with two years".<p>Cardinal Arinze responded by thanking the Pope and the Vatican for giving him the opportunity to serve God from Onitsha to the Vatican, and Dr Gowon for attending the ceremony.<br>He described Gowon as a good Christian and a man full of humility.<p><p>SOURCE: Vanguard

Manchester City beat Southampton, Man United held, Bournemouth thriller

Manchester City returned to the top of the<br>Premier League on goal difference as they<br>defeated Southampton 3-1 at the Etihad<br>Stadium.<br>City, who had recorded one draw and two defeats<br>in their last three games in all competitions, took<br>the lead on nine minutes when Kevin De Bruyne<br>was presented with the simplest of finishes<br>following good work from Raheem Sterling.<br>They doubled their advantage when Fabian<br>Delph, making his first Premier League start, sent<br>a deflected shot past Saints keeper Maarten<br>Stekelenburg.<br>Southampton did not give up the fight, though,<br>and after Virgil van Dijk sent a shot against the<br>woodwork in the first half, Shane Long pulled one<br>back with a header on 50 minutes.<br>Dusan Tadic might have equalised for Saints but<br>his chipped effort was clawed away by Willy<br>Caballero in the City goal, and Long saw his shot<br>blocked from the follow-up.<br>The hosts then restored their two-goal cushion<br>after De Bruyne set up Aleksandar Kolarov for a<br>fine goal on 70 minutes.<br>There was bad news for City as striker Sergio<br>Aguero had to leave the field with an injury, but<br>David Silva made his return as a late substitute.<br>Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy set a new<br>Premier League record for scoring in consecutive<br>matches, but a 1-1 draw at home to Manchester<br>United meant they relinquished top spot in the<br>table after just one week.<br>Leicester took the lead in the 24th minute as<br>Vardy scored for the 11th consecutive match,<br>taking him past the record previously set by<br>United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy.<br>Christian Fuchs played a superb ball down the<br>line and into the box for the onrushing Vardy,<br>who broke the offside trap and fired past David<br>De Gea.<br>United equalised in first-half injury time, Bastian<br>Schweinsteiger heading home a Daley Blind<br>corner.<br>Bournemouth salvaged a point in a 3-3 thriller<br>with Everton at Dean Court.<br>Everton dominated in the early stages from the<br>off and got their reward on 25 minutes when<br>Ramiro Funes Mori powered home a header from<br>a Ross Barkley corner.<br>Gerard Deulofeu then provided a superb pass to<br>set up Romelu Lukaku, who controlled neatly<br>before hammering into the net for 2-0.<br>Bournemouth, though, hit back late on, with<br>Adam Smith smashing a shot into the far corner<br>on 80 minutes before Junior Stanislas smashed<br>home an equaliser.<br>After Charlie Daniels had passed up a golden<br>chance for Bournemouth in injury time, Barkley<br>looked to have snatched it when he was able to<br>turn in the box and squeeze a shot home in the<br>95th minute.<br>However, the Cherries still had time to level as<br>Stanislas powered home a header to secure a<br>share of the spoils.<br>Crystal Palace came from behind to beat<br>Newcastle United as manager Alan Pardew<br>secured a 5-1 victory over his former club.<br>Papiss Cisse headed home the opener on 10<br>minutes from Daryl Janmaat, but Palace were<br>soon level when James McArthur's shot found the<br>net via a deflection from Paul Dummett.<br>Connor Wickham, who played a key role in the<br>equaliser, was heavily involved again when the<br>Eagles took the lead shortly afterwards, setting<br>up Yannick Bolasie to rifle home at the far post.<br>Wilfried Zaha then increased Palace's lead,<br>volleying home from Wickham's cross, on 41<br>minutes.<br>Bolasie added a fourth soon after the restart and<br>McArthur completed his brace in injury time.<br>The defeat leaves Steve McClaren under pressure<br>as Newcastle dropped back into the relegation<br>zone.<br>Sunderland moved out of the drop zone as they<br>scored two late goals to see off 10-man Stoke<br>City 2-0.<br>Jonathan Walters had the best chance of the first<br>half but was denied by Sunderland keeper Costel<br>Pantilimon, while Sunderland saw striker Jermain<br>Defoe substituted through injury.<br>Stoke saw Ryan Shawcross sent off at the start of<br>the second half when the centre-back collected a<br>second booking, and Sunderland were able to<br>seize the advantage.<br>Patrick van Aanholt broke the deadlock on 81<br>minutes following a free kick, and Duncan<br>Watmore -- who replaced Defoe -- made the<br>points certain from DeAndre Yedlin's throw-in.<br>Aston Villa boss Remi Garde is still searching for<br>his first victory after a 3-2 defeat at home to<br>Watford.<br>Odion Ighalo opened the scoring when he<br>pounced on the loose ball after Ben Watson's shot<br>had deflected into his path in front of goal.<br>Villa hit back through Micah Richards, who<br>headed home from Jordan Veretout's free kick<br>just before the break.<br>Watford, who saw goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes<br>stretchered off in the second half, restored their<br>lead on 69 minutes when Alan Hutton diverted<br>the ball into his own net from a Troy Deeney<br>throughball.<br>It seemed to be game over when Deeney made it<br>3-1 late on, and while Jordan Ayew gave Villa<br>hope when he curled home on 90 minutes, they<br>could not summon a third goal and Garde's men<br>were booed off after a defeat that leaves them<br>remain firmly rooted to the foot of the table.

Father beat 7-year-old son, fed his body to pigs- Police

A Kansas City man arrested for attacking his wife<br /><br>is also suspected of feeding his 7-year-old son to<br /><br>pigs after beating him to death.<br /><br>Michael Jones, 44, was held after reports that he<br /><br>had assaulted his wife at their home and fired a<br /><br>gun at her.<br /><br>But when police began investigating, they were<br /><br>tipped off that they should search the family's<br /><br>backyard for the decomposing remains of their<br /><br>missing son.<br /><br>The next day, human remains were found at a<br /><br>barn on their property in Wyandotte County.<br /><br>Local women who knew the family said the<br /><br>couple had eight children, but their son had<br /><br>disappeared earlier this year. They also claimed<br /><br>Jones' wife added livestock to the barn in<br /><br>September.<br /><br>"Their house was horrible," one<br /><br>anonymous woman told WSFA.com. "Their<br /><br>house was just filthy. The kids lived in filth.<br /><br>Trash everywhere. Dried food all over the<br /><br>house."<br /><br>Former babysitters for the family say several<br /><br>people contacted the Kansas Department for<br /><br>Children and Families with concerns about the<br /><br>children.<br /><br>The seven other children are believed to be safe<br /><br>and in protective custody.<br /><br>A police source said investigators fear the<br /><br>remains are the result of the child being fed to<br /><br>pigs after being beaten to death. The remains<br /><br>have yet to be identified.<br /><br>Jones is now charged with battering and<br /><br>assaulting his wife on Wednesday, and also with<br /><br>"torturing or cruelly beating" his 7-year-old son<br /><br>sometime between May 1 and Sept. 28.<br /><br>Jones is expected to have a first appearance in<br /><br>Wyandotte County District Court on Monday.

It showed that your<br>capacity was recognized. If on that<br>occasion you were not chosen as a Pope,<br>surely it is not because of your incapacity,<br>but because our continent was not yet<br>ripe for such an election. You have been a<br>sign of hope to many, even those who<br>have not met you in person." .<br>Former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon<br>described Cardinal Arinze as one of the great<br>minds that contributed to the growth and spread<br>of Christianity in the world.<br>He said:<br>"Cardinal Arinze, who is now 83 years old,<br>has been very consistent in the service to<br>God and humanity. I want to use this<br>opportunity to urge him to continue being<br>consistent in the service of God and<br>humanity. He is a good sheppard that has<br>been consistent in leading his flock. He is a<br>true man of God and I urge him to<br>continue, he is my elder brother, who is<br>my senior with two years".<br>Cardinal Arinze responded by thanking the Pope<br>and the Vatican for giving him the opportunity to<br>serve God from Onitsha to the Vatican, and Dr<br>Gowon for attending the ceremony.<br>He described Gowon as a good Christian and a<br>man full of humility.<br>Vanguard

Manchester United's Wayne Rooney 'doesn't look in great shape' - Keane

Roy Keane has launched a scathing attack on<br /><br>Wayne Rooney, declaring that the Manchester<br /><br>United captain is not in the right physical or<br /><br>mental shape.<br /><br>Rooney said United needed to be more ruthless<br /><br>after their 0-0 Champions League draw with PSV<br /><br>Eindhoven -- but former skipper Keane said the<br /><br>30-year-old, who has scored only twice in his last<br /><br>10 club games, needed to address his own form.<br /><br>Rooney is the joint second-highest scorer in<br /><br>United's history with 237 goals and has a record<br /><br>51 goals for England, but Keane feels his off-field<br /><br>activities are affecting his performances.<br /><br>"Mentally he doesn't look sharp, physically he<br /><br>doesn't look in a great shape. He has to have a<br /><br>look at himself," Keane said on ITV.<br /><br>"Wayne was on about a lack of composure and<br /><br>quality, and he was as guilty as anybody. He<br /><br>needs to step up to the plate.<br /><br>"Wayne's legacy at Manchester United is<br /><br>absolutely fantastic. His goals record is brilliant,<br /><br>but now he's the captain there's a bit more<br /><br>responsibility and he has to do a lot more."<br /><br>Rooney was filmed slapping wrestler Wade Barrett<br /><br>at a recent WWE event, and Keane said he should<br /><br>not have been there.<br /><br>Roy Keane's take on Wayne Rooney's WWE slap<br /><br><a href="http://pic.twitter.com/1QW0TAAUVP">pic.twitter.com/1QW0TAAUVP</a><br /><br>- ITV Football (@itvfootball) November 26, 2015<br /><br>The Republic of Ireland assistant manager added:<br /><br>"I always question certain players -- what are they<br /><br>doing off the field? I saw Wayne last week<br /><br>slapping a wrestler, and I'm thinking: 'Why is he<br /><br>getting involved in all that nonsense?'<br /><br>"There's no benefit to him, so I think I would look<br /><br>at that side to it.<br /><br>"It's not helping him. If you're not at it yourself,<br /><br>you have to have a look and lead by example. He<br /><br>didn't do that tonight."<br /><br>The result left United second in Group B, facing a<br /><br>tricky final game away to leaders Wolfsburg, and<br /><br>former midfielder Paul Scholes told BT Sport:<br /><br>"Attacking wise they don't look a threat, they<br /><br>don't look good enough, they don't look like<br /><br>they're going to go and score goals."

Montreal Impact's Didier Drogba open to being Chelsea manager

Former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has told BBC<br>Africa he would like to "give back" to the Premier<br>League club in the future by becoming their<br>manager or taking on another senior role.<br>Drogba, 37, is currently contracted to Montreal<br>Impact, where he has scored 12 goals in 14 Major<br>League Soccer appearances.<br>The Ivorian played for Chelsea over two separate<br>stints, netting 157 goals in 341 outings and<br>helping the club lift several trophies, including<br>four Premier League titles and the Champions<br>League.<br>Drogba said: "I want to give back to the club<br>which has given so much to me. I have agreed<br>that with the club directors.<br>"Why not manager? Why not sporting director,<br>trainer at the academy or maybe an advising role<br>for strikers?"<br>Current Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has<br>come under pressure this season having won just<br>four of their 13 league fixtures so far.<br>But Drogba is confident his former boss will turn<br>things around at Stamford Bridge, adding: "If the<br>club has kept him that means owner Roman<br>Abramovich thinks that he is the right man.<br>"I think the players trust him and he is giving his<br>best to change the situation.<br>"They have quality when it comes to the players,<br>and quality when it comes to the management.<br>This is a club which usually doesn't have a bad<br>season twice."<br>Drogba has called on Chelsea's leaders to stand<br>up and drag the club away from the lower<br>reaches of the Premier League.<br>Mourinho's men are just three places above the<br>relegation zone, with a 12-point gap to Arsenal in<br>fourth.<br>"I don't like to compare things to when I was<br>there but there are some facts that you can't<br>hide," Drogba was quoted as saying by The Sun<br>at the launch of his new book, Commitment.<br>"During my time at Chelsea we had a lot of<br>leaders in the team, not only last year but during<br>the previous seasons.<br>"There was Frank Lampard, Petr Cech, John Terry,<br>myself, Michael Ballack, Michael Essien, Andriy<br>Shevchenko, Claude Makelele -- big names, big<br>players and big characters.<br>"We could take responsibility for a result and<br>change the situation in bad moments such as<br>when there was a change of manager or when we<br>had bad results.<br>"There was always someone to step up and say,<br>'Guys, we need to do something' and everybody<br>would follow.<br>"JT is still there but on your own it is very difficult,<br>so other players have to come up with this<br>mentality. "But it's not something you are born<br>with - you build it within you.<br>"You have to make sure that it is the right<br>moment to talk and to take the lead and, most<br>importantly, the rest of the team has to accept<br>you as a leader.<br>"When you stand up and say, 'Let's go and win'<br>you have to make sure that you produce yourself<br>-- you can't be a leader if you are not the first to<br>show that you have the determination to want to<br>win.<br>"I think there are some leaders in this current<br>squad and hopefully you will soon see that."<br>Chelsea have shown signs of a revival this week --<br>following up a narrow victory over Norwich with a<br>4-0 success against Maccabi Tel Aviv -- but<br>frustration was evident during a half-time bust-up<br>between striker Diego Costa and manager<br>Mourinho in Israel.<br>Drogba believes Costa will come to realise the<br>need to keep his cool and has backed his former<br>boss to reverse Chelsea's fortunes.<br>"I have also had some passionate moments in my<br>career," the Ivorian said. "It's what football<br>creates in difficult moments.<br>"I was lucky to have players who helped me, who<br>were always there to support me and give me<br>advice.<br>"They helped me to change my relationship with<br>the fans, to focus more on my game and to save<br>my energy for the football.<br>"You need to be strong but you also need to be<br>smart. Diego will learn that this might not be the<br>best way for him to change things."<br>Information from the Press Association was used<br>in this report.
