Liudmila Samsonova saves two match points to oust Jessica Pegula at Berlin Open
BERLIN — Liudmila Samsonova saved two match points before beating third-ranked Jessica Pegula 6-7 (8), 7-5, 7-6 (5) to reach the quarterfinals of the Berlin Open. The 20th-ranked Samsonova recorded 18 aces against the defending champion in a match that lasted 3 hours, 21 minutes at the grass-court tournament. 'I can't believe that I am here standing, it's incredible,' Samsonova said in her on-court interview. 'Maybe with the adrenaline right now I'm OK, but I think later it's not going to be so OK.' Samsonova, who beat Naomi Osaka in three sets, saved two match points on her serve at 5-4 in the deciding set against Pegula. Top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka's match against qualifier Rebeka Masarova was suspended overnight because the court became slippery. Play was halted after Sabalenka won the first set 6-2. Earlier, Ons Jabeur beat the fourth-seeded Jasmine Paolini 6-1, 6-3 in the second round. Paolini was runner-up at Wimbledon last year. Jabeur was a Wimbledon finalist in 2022 and 2023. Paolini was playing for the first time since winning the French Open doubles title with fellow Italian Sara Errani. Paolini lost to Elina Svitolina in the fourth round of the French Open singles.

'Granny Ripper' boiled dismembered friend's head in saucepan after 'disagreement'
Tamara Samsonova was arrested in 2015 after CCTV footage showed her carrying bags from her apartment block in the middle of the night – and she was soon dubbed the 'Granny Ripper' A former hotel worker swiftly earned the macabre moniker 'Granny Ripper' after being suspected of serial killings and cannibalism. Tamara Samsonova, a former hotel worker, was arrested a decade ago after her abhorrent crimes came to light. The then 68-year-old was caught on grainy CCTV footage disposing of large plastic bags from her flat in the dead of night, with one clip showing her carrying a saucepan allegedly containing a human head. These were believed to be the remains of Valentina Ulanova, 79, who met a gruesome end. We delve into the disturbing case that left Russia reeling when the grisly details surfaced in 2015. It was the Russian Investigative Committee that brought this chilling case before the courts, naming Samsonova as the accused murderer. According to the committee, the victim perished "on the spot" after Samsonova laced her salad with over 50 sleeping pills in July 2015 and then dismembered her. The investigators issued a statement saying: "Then, in order to conceal the committed crime, she dismembered the body of her victim and placed the parts in different places near the apartment block." Hailing from St Petersburg, Russian-native Samsonova reportedly used a handsaw to carve up the elderly woman. The Investigative Committee pointed to "personal hostile relations" as the motive, stating that the murderer had a "conflict with her friend". Following the dismemberment, she is believed to have boiled the head in a pot. Samsonova, who was later diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, became notorious for her courtroom antics, including blowing a kiss to journalists. She confessed to the murder of Valentina, yet haunting diary excerpts suggested she might have killed up to 11 others, possibly counting her husband and mother-in-law among them, both of whom disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Due to her poor health, uncooperative behaviour, and the lack of additional human remains, it became infeasible to bring further charges against her. A bone-chilling admission in her diary stated: "I killed my tenant Volodya, cut him to pieces in the bathroom with a knife, put the pieces of his body in plastic bags and threw them away in the different parts of Frunzensky district." One account published in The Sun quoted a source as remarking: "We may never know the extent of this granny's killings." Reports indicated that Samsonova found sinister inspiration in Andrei Chikatilo, a prolific murderer responsible for over 50 killings from 1978 to 1990. A neighbour, who had known her intimately for 15 years, noted her fixation with Chikatilo, saying: "She gathered information about him and how he committed his murders." At her court appearance for Valentina's murder, Samsonova told the judge: "I am guilty and I deserve to be punished." The elderly suspect, then aged 78, displayed an eerie expression of joy as she clapped her hands and smiled upon hearing she would remain in custody. Beyond her morbid crimes, she held a deep interest in black magic and astrology. In 2017, she was sentenced to life in a mental hospital, with the judge ruling her mental illness absolved her from being responsible for Valentina's killing. This all but confirmed that it will never be truly known how many people died at the hands of Samsonova.
