Akron man arrested after stabbing leaves 1 dead and stepfather of suspect injured
A 21-year-old man has been charged with murder, felonious assault and domestic violence after a June 7 fight that left his stepfather injured and another man dead, Akron police said. Officers went to a home on Bee Bee Circle in Goodyear Heights around 1 a.m. after dispatchers were told a man had assaulted his mother, and the altercation escalated, with a knife involved, according to a police news release. When officers arrived, they found two men, ages 44 and 22, suffering from multiple stab wounds. The suspect, Antoine Pixley, had fled the scene in a vehicle, police said. Officers administered first aid to the victims until paramedics arrived and they were transported to two local hospitals. The 22-year-old man succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead. He was identified as Pixley's roommate. Investigators later confirmed that the 44-year-old victim is Pixley's stepfather. Officers worked with surrounding agencies and began searching for Pixley's vehicle. A 'partnering law enforcement agency,' Akron police said, located the vehicle containing a knife in the 3100 block of Gilchrist Road, but Pixley abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot. A K9 unit was deployed, and after an extensive search, officers apprehended Pixley a short time later, according to the release. Pixley, of Madison Avenue, turned 21 on June 6, according to Akron Municipal Court records. Anyone with additional information about the crime is encouraged to call the Akron Police Department Detective Bureau at 330-375-2490 or 330-375-2Tip.

Violent dispute between stepfather and stepson erupts in Yishun rental flat; both arrested
SINGAPORE: An argument between a stepfather and his stepson escalated into a physical altercation at a rental flat in Yishun on Saturday morning, resulting in both men being arrested. The incident occurred around 10am at Block 510A Yishun Street 51. Eyewitnesses told Shin Min Daily News that police officers were seen arriving at the scene shortly after the commotion broke out. Residents familiar with the family said arguments were not uncommon in the unit, which is reportedly shared by a couple and a man in his 30s, believed to be the woman's son. 'They often argue,' one neighbour shared, 'That day, it turned into a fight. The younger man had a head injury, and the fight even spilled into the corridor.' Photos taken after the altercation showed the aftermath outside the flat — a broken shoe rack lay overturned, with footwear scattered across the corridor floor. When reporters visited the flat later, the unit appeared unoccupied. In response to media queries, the police and the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) confirmed that a 35-year-old man had been taken conscious to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital. A 57-year-old man sustained minor injuries but declined medical assistance. Both men were arrested for affray. Police investigations are ongoing.

Teenager killed after trying to keep her home from being sold by stepfather
A Mpumalanga man who was under investigation for a murder has been arrested in connection with the death of his stepdaughter. The 17-year-old girl was found deceased inside a locked shack in Kinross on May 28, police spokesperson Lt-Col Jabu Ndubane said. She had been missing since May 23. "A request was made to the police to search a residence believed to be associated with the girl's stepfather. Upon arrival at the shack in Extension 33, Marikana, Kinross, police found the doors and burglar gates locked. Forced entry was made." Her body was found inside the bedroom, with visible head injuries, including a deep wound and a crushed forehead. It is suspected that she was raped before being killed. A bloodstained pipe wrench was found next to the bed and is believed to have been used in the murder. "Preliminary investigations suggest that the victim had recently argued with her stepfather over his intention to sell the shack that once belonged to her late mother," Ndubane said . "The teenager had reportedly objected, expressing concern for her younger siblings, who would need a place to stay in the future." Ndubane said the stepfather had been arrested for a separate incident involving the brutal murder of his 34-year-old girlfriend in Kinross. "He is now a suspect in both murders."

Missing teen found dead in stepfather's locked Mpumalanga home
A missing teenager has been found dead inside her stepfather's locked home in Mpumalanga. The 17-year-old was found inside the locked shack in Kinross on Wednesday after going missing last Friday, said police spokesperson, Sergeant Thulisile Magagula. 'A request was later made to the police to search a residence believed to be associated with the girl's stepfather. Upon arrival at the shack in Extension 33, Marikana, Kinross, police found the doors and burglar gates locked. Forced entry was made, and a gruesome discovery was made in one of the bedrooms,' said Magagula. The girl was found naked, covered in blankets, and her body was in a 'semi-decomposed state', said Magagula. The victim had visible head injuries. 'A bloodstained pipe wrench was found next to the bed and is believed to have been used in the murder,' said Magagula. 'Preliminary investigations suggest that the victim had recently argued with her stepfather over his intention to sell the shack that once belonged to her late mother. The teenager had reportedly objected, expressing concern for her younger siblings, who would need a place to stay in the future.' The man is currently in custody for a separate incident involving the murder of his 34-year-old girlfriend last Friday. 'He is now a suspect in both murders,' said Magagula. Acting provincial police commissioner Major General Zeph Mkhwanazi said: 'The brutal killing of women and children is unacceptable. 'These acts will not be tolerated. We are committed to ensuring that those responsible face the full might of the law,' Mkhwanazi added.
