So today, after my 7:15-7:50AM morning protest outside of the school, I decided to track down the legal aspects of the situation.
I really was nervous taking that picture at the police station.
I talked to Neptune PD, and it was up to Galloway Township to press charges as that's where the incident occurred. So I called GTPD and spoke with Lieutenant McGinty who offered a few updates:
- They are actively investigating the incident
- Victim intends on making a statement to PD
- The Smurros have refused to make a statement and lawyered up
- Should the victim choose not to press charges, the discretion would be up to the Atlantic County Prosecutor's office.
This means that if the victim doesn't follow through with charges, the plan is to put pressure on Atlantic County Prosecutor to protect Americans from assault even if victims are intimidated out of doing so by political harassment. In further good news, I found out that the Monmouth County ASPCA has dropped Mrs. Smurro as a volunteer, they're located in Long Branch not far from Industrial Way, since they have an opening it'd behoove me to ask someone that's been thinking of volunteering to follow through to make sure they aren't left with a staffing issue.
I have also spoke to Garden State Equality, who is in contact with the School Board of Ed and have confirmed to me that they have been working on developing diversity training for the district- a good sign that the Board of Ed is responding to this positively.
I also found some suggestions that the establishment failed to call the police despite being requested to, but I cannot confirm that as of yet. Having talked to a lawyer friend he suggested this should be a clear case of assault and battery, which is why I feel that even if the victim doesn't press charges the Prosecutor should pursue it as it was a public incident and police do have the discretion to charge things they witness and I need to know that law enforcement will keep people like me and other outcasts safe in society.
To reiterate the key points:
- Neptune Township School Board of Ed have still only put out a simple statement, and have not gone into further details
- You can contact the school board at (732) 776-2200 to request the immediate dismissal of VP Smurro
- You can sign the change.org petition [here](https://www.change.org/p/neptune-townshi
Looking to celebrate my wedding anniversary with my husband soon. How much would it cost to have a good venue for about 150 people?

On January 5, 1980 an anonymous call came into the Central Lusaka Police Station in Zambia the call stated that there was a dead body laying in the bushes behind the Lusaka Boys Primary School. When the police led by an Inspector Gondwe arrived at the scene a crowd of school boys were already present. The body was semi decomposed making it impossible for the police determine the cause of death however they did figure out that the body was dumped at the bush after having been killed elsewhere. Based on personal effects the police identified the body as having belonged to 21 year old Grace Siambilu. Grace was from a town called Sinazongwe in Southern Zambia and traveled to Lusaka the Zambian capitol to deliver a letter to her brother. Afterwards she would go to Kitwe to be interviewed by The Zambian Institute of Technology. The police determined that Grace was killed elsewhere and that her body was disposed of where it was found
The police had no leads as to who the murderer was but as their investigation was just starting another murder would occur. On January 6, 1980 the body of a woman would be dead in a grass footpath near Chitukuko Road the woman was raped and strangled and was determined to be killed where she was discovered based on scattered beads and torn knickers found near the body. Her body had severe brushing on her neck and navel and a foam like substance emitting from her mouth and nose. The police were unable to identify this woman and even today her name and identity is unknown.
On January 12, 1980 the body of 21 year old Florence Mwangelwa Mulima was found raped and murdered behind the NIPA offices , She had traveled to Lusaka from Mazabuka via train.
Two days later on January 14, 1980 Priscilla Ndhlovu who was only 10 years old was found strangled to death in a maize field in Olympia Park. She was last seen buying some groceries for her parents. There were no signs of sexual assault on her body.
On January 28, 1980 Regina Munanga was found near the UNZA Campus raped and strangled like the other victims. Regina was a policewomen and she was identified because the killer left her ID laying face up on her body.
The police worked hard to try and arrest the killer or killers and questioned all sex offenders and violent offenders in the area as well as anyone who were thought to have met the victims but these lines of questioning always led to dead ends. It wasn't until the next victim that the police managed to finally obtain their first r

What would be a better elevation model for Zambia, apart from SRTM 30 M, free or commercial?
Hello,
I'm moving to Lusaka and looking for a decent combat sports gym. It could be either Boxing/MMA/Muay Thai. There is no big difference in discipline. What I prefer is somewhat experienced trainers and a good team.

(re-upload due to title not being clear enough about the world record, so have made it more clear for those who were messaging me)
A special thanks to u/moondog151 who actually showed this case to me, and originally got in touch to suggest making a video about it.

The definition of a serial killer is as follows: A person who murders three or more people over a period of more than thirty days, with an inactive period between each murder, and whose motivation for killing is largely based on psychological gratification.
Many murderers have been categorised by this description over the years, with the likes of Jack The Ripper and Ted Bundy going down in history as some of the most notorious to have ever lived. There is, however, one man who holds the horrific world record for claiming the most victims in a shorter period of time than any serial killer before or since, and itβs likely that youβve never even heard of him. This is the story of The Lusaka Strangler, Zambiaβs world record serial killer.
On January 5th 1980, an anonymous call was made to the Central Lusaka Police Station in Zambia to report the discovery of a dead body lying in the playing field behind the Lusaka Boys Primary School. When police arrived, they found the corpse of a woman who was already in a semi-decomposed state. As a result, it was not possible to specify the exact cause of death, but one thing they could determine was that the woman must have been murdered elsewhere and later moved to her current location. The woman was identified as being Grace Siambilu, a 21 year old woman who had travelled from Sinazongwe to Lusaka to deliver a letter to her brother. She was due to travel to Kitwe to attend an interview at the Zambian Institute of Technology, but sadly this opportunity was taken away from her by the hands of a murderer.
Police initially had no leads to who the killer could be, and they would soon find out that this wasnβt to be a one off. The next day, on January 6th, the body of another dead woman would be found lying by a footpath off Chitukuko Road. The police determined that the unidentified woman, who had been strangled, must have been murdered where she was found, as there were scattered beads found a few metres from the body, alluding to the fact that the killer committed the cri
