The alleged Gilgo Beach slayer was in tears after his arrest on three counts of murder and sobbed “I did not do this,” his lawyer revealed Friday.

However, by the time of his arraignment Rex Heuermann had become silent and betrayed no emotion in court as he was formally charged with murdering three women whose bodies were found on Long Island in 2010.

Heuermann is a family man who is married to his second wife Asa Ellerup, 59. Neighbors told The Post Friday they have two children, a daughter and a son.

A man from Toronto was arrested and charged for allegedly sexually assaulting two minors in York Region.

York Regional Police were called to Upper Canada Mall in the Yonge Street and Davis Drive area in Newmarket on July 5 for reports of a sexual assault against an 11-year-old girl.

Police in British Columbia are raising concerns about the rise of 3D-printed guns and other privately made firearms, saying the risks posed by the weapons that often resemble “harmless toys” may not be understood by parents or teachers.

The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit has shared a photo of an array of weapons printed in colourful plastic, with names including Songbird, Biden’s Bane and Macdaddy.

The sole suspect in the Tylenol murders has been found dead in his Cambridge, Massachusetts home, ending officials’ hopes of one day convicting him for the killings that changed the way over-the-counter drugs are manufactured and sold.

James Lewis, 76, was the only person to have been convicted in connection to the seven poisonings after he attempted to extort $1million from Tylenol maker’s Johnson and Johnson to stop the killings – but he was never found guilty of the actual murders.

The killings of four women, two men, and a 12-year-old girl, caused worldwide panic and led to reforms in how over-the-counter medicines are packaged as the FDA introduced new tamper-proof packaging like foil seals.

Larry Nassar, the disgraced sports doctor who was convicted of sexually abusing female gymnasts, was stabbed multiple times during an altercation with another inmate at a federal prison in Florida, a prison union leader said Monday.

Nassar, 59, was stabbed twice in the neck, twice in the back and six times in the chest, and also suffered a collapsed lung in the Sunday attack, said Joe Rojas, president of Local 506, which represents employees at the Federal Correctional Complex Coleman in Central Florida.

A useful description? Isn’t that racist?

The stories are everywhere: Walmart store closures in Portland and Chicago; an epidemic of drug store thefts in New York. In Baltimore, a “landmark” grocery store shuts its doors after nearly 25 years in a community desperate for fresh food.

While in San Francisco, reports of big-box chains abandoning its downtown have become near-daily occurrences.

The cause: rampant, often organized, and seemingly consequenceless shoplifting.

This is why concealed carry is such an important Constitutional right💥

With an investigation continuing in the wake of Canada Bread’s admission of guilt for its role in one of the country’s largest price-fixing scandals, a document in the long-running case’s court file suggests federal authorities believed that Maple Leaf Foods executive chair Michael McCain had personal knowledge of the alleged scheme.

The packaged meat company, which used to control Canada Bread, expressed dismay at the new owner’s guilty plea this week, saying Maple Leaf Foods stands by its denial of any wrongdoing. The actions of Maple Leaf Foods and multiple grocery retailers remain under investigation by the Competition Bureau following the plea deal and resulting $50-million fine.

“It took a Mexican company to remind the Canadian food industry that cheating consumers is wrong.”

For the first time in nearly six years, notable progress has been observed in the investigation of price-fixing in the bread market, initiated in 2015.

A new report published by Canadian Finance and Leasing Association highlights the alarming state of vehicle theft in Canada.

In Toronto alone, there were 9,606 vehicle thefts in 2022. That’s triple the amount of thefts in 2015, when 3,284 vehicles were stolen within the city.

According to the report published on Thursday, the CFLA says vehicle theft has reached a “critical point” in Canada, with data showing that in each of the past seven years, vehicle theft rates in Toronto have become progressively worse.

The man arrested on suspicion of murdering Barnaby Webber, Grace O’Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates in Nottingham has been named as Valdo Amissão Mendes Calocane.

Students Mr Webber and Ms O’Malley-Kumar, both 19, and school caretaker Mr Coates, 65, were stabbed early on Tuesday.

The suspect, 31, was subsequently arrested and is in custody.

Police have until the early hours of Saturday to continue questioning him.
