There was drama at Manor Hotel in Bulawayo after a woman who had been presumed dead after collapsing while allegedly having sex suddenly woke up just after police officers had put her body into a coffin.

The incident occurred on Tuesday last week at about 12pm. Sources said the woman woke up saying: "You want to kill me, you want to kill me."

A number of people who had gathered to witness the woman's "dead" body being removed from a room at the hotel reportedly fled from the scene. Some are said to have fallen while others tripped over each other in fear of the 'resurrected' woman.

"It was like a movie. People were running away in different directions. It was a scary incident because we were all convinced that she had died because she was just cold. Miracles surely do happen," said a source.

Duluth police: Lobster thief pinched again

It’s strange enough that someone would slip into the Red Lobster in Canal Park, snatch a lobster from the tank in the lobby and take off. Now Duluth police are saying it has happened twice in the past year, and the same culprit did it both times.

Workers at the popular seafood restaurant confirmed early Friday evening that they called police just after 11 a.m. Wednesday to report that a lobster was taken. An officer responding to the call spotted Edward Farris, 53, of Duluth, walking with a lobster in a plastic bag and stopped him. He was issued a ticket for trespassing and misdemeanor theft.

The officer brought the live lobster back to the tank at Red Lobster.

VOLGOGRAD, Russia, March 22 (UPI) -- Russian police said a teacher turned to Satanism and a hired thug to attack a former student's fiancee after the former student rejected her.

Police said Lyudmila Osipova, 41, of Volgograd, developed a crush on a man in his 20s while teaching a computer class several years ago and attempted to reconnect with the man after quitting her job in 2009, RIA Novosti reported Friday.

The woman posed online as a model half her age in an attempt to reconnect with the man, but he spurned her advances because he had a girlfriend he planned to marry, the Komsomolskaya Pravda reported.

Investigators said Osipova's failure to win the man's affections led her to take up Satanism and drink blood in an attempt to get the devil to help her obtain a younger body, $32,000, a Jaguar, a Volkswagen, a helicopter and a team of bodyguards.

Public urination becomes legal in Copenhagen

Copenhagen's city council has come up with a unique way to prevent urine from flooding streets on busy bar nights. (iStock) When you've got to go, you've got to go -- and after a rowdy night of drinking in any major city, there's no shortage of people who just can't wait to use the bathroom.

In an effort to stop people from urinating in its streets, Copenhagen City council has come up with a solution that allows people to do their business outdoors, in a legal and (relatively) hygienic manner.

To test out their concept, they installed portable urinals shaped like giant, white plastic lilies across the city's core last weekend.

Man charged with drinking $102,000 worth of pre-Prohibition whiskey

SCOTTDALE, Pa. —Hidden behind a basement staircase at a Westmoreland County mansion was a secret stash of liquid gold: old farm pure rye whiskey.

Distilled in 1912 and delivered to industrialist J.P. Brennan in 1917, nearly 100 bottles of West Overton Distilling Company's pure rye collected dust until their discovery recently.

Homeowner Patricia Hill surmised Brennan hid the whiskey during Prohibition. Hill purchased the South Broadway mansion from Brennan's daughter at auction in 1986. Since then, Hill has been remodeling the mansion and filling it with antiques in order to open a bed and breakfast, which she did in December 2012.

Alleged fake pilot arrested on US Airways flight at Philadelphia International Airport

PHILADELPHIA - March 21, 2013 (WPVI) -- Philadelphia police have arrested a French national after he allegedly impersonated a pilot on a US Airways flight.

Police say 61-year-old Philippe Jernnard LaRocelle, of France, boarded a West Palm Beach, Florida bound US Airways flight at approximately 6:20 p.m. Wednesday wearing what appeared to be an Air France pilot's uniform.

He was a ticketed passenger and police say he somehow talked his way into the cockpit, settling into the jump-seat behind the captain's seat.

When the actual pilot entered the cockpit, Jennard identified himself as a 747 pilot for Air France.

A Taiwanese fugitive who knew no English has been arrested because police were curious about the word "Wanted" on his T-shirt.

The man, identified only by his surname Wu and wanted on drug abuse charges, was arrested last week at Huwei, a town in the southern country of Yunlin, a police spokesman told AFP.
