A wealthy American student who stabbed his girlfriend after she wrongly believed he had given her an STI has been found guilty of murd£r.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
Joshua Michals was found guilty at the Old Bailey of murdering his girlfriend after claiming he k!lled her in self-defence.
Zhe Wang, 31, was found de@d in her bedroom, lying in a pool of blood on 20 March last year.
Her boyfriend Joshua Michals, 26, had called the emergency services saying there had been a “knife incident” at her flat in Hither Green, southeast London.
When police arrived, he said: ‘It’s not what it seems’.
Ms Wang was obsessed with germs and cleanliness and had accused Michals of giving her an infection after she developed a rash.
He went to her flat to discuss it with her and k!lled her in a murderous rage.
The students had been seeing each other for six months but had slept together only once.
Ms Wang was studying an MA in Creative Writing and Education at Goldsmiths, University of London, and hoped to become a teacher, while Michals was doing an MA in filmmaking.
She met Michals while collecting her student ID card, and the pair began a relationship.
Ms Wang told him she wanted a life partner, but he did not see the relationship as anything serious.
The pair only had sex once, in February 2024, because of Ms Wang’s high standards of cleanliness.
Ms Wang had insisted on seeing Michals’ STI test results before the encounter.
She had taken the morning-after pill and became concerned about a rash on her body which may have been a side affect.
Ms Wang told Michals she would rather die than get an infection and demanded he take another test.
When Michals refused, she accused him of ruining her life and threatened to ask the university for help.
On the day of the killing, Michals took food round to Ms Wang’s flat to make a charcuterie board to try and console her.
But a row broke out and he stabbed her twice to the face and strangled her before leaving the flat.
He claimed that when he arrived at the flat he went to the toilet and when he came out Ms Wang was holding a knife and said she looked “crazy”, “demented” and “possessed”.
Michals said he wrestled the knife from her but she came up behind him and he stabbed her with the knife leaving it in her face.
He claimed he then leant on her neck trying to restrain her until she stopped moving.
Ms Wang might have survived but Michals spoke to his father and obtained details of solicitors before he called an ambulance later that night.
She was found face up on her bedroom floor with two stab wounds to the face and lying in a pool of blood by police.
It was heard at court that she was alive for 30 to 60 minutes after the attack.
He denied murder but was convicted of the charge by an Old Bailey jury on Monday.
Chicago-born Michals claimed Ms Wang came at him with a knife, and he killed her accidentally while trying to protect himself.
His defence was privately funded by his parents – his father David is a vice president of sales strategy for a company in Chicago – they travelled from the US to watch the trial.
Judge Richard Marks, the Common Serjeant of London, said he will sentence on a date to be fixed which is convenient for Ms Wang’s family and Michals’ parents.
Michals, wearing a blue jumper with a white shirt underneath, leant on the glass of the dock in front of him and clutched his chest as he was convicted by the jury before placing his head in his hands.
His parents looked to their son with vacant, pained expressions from the public gallery.
Prosecutor Henrietta Paget, KC, earlier said: “This case concerns the k!lling of a young woman by a man she’d only been seeing a few short months.
“This was a brutal and savage attack. She was killed in her own bedroom.”
Michals told the court he was not looking for a life partner in Ms Wang, and it did not worry him that she told him she was.
He said he did not tell her he only wanted something casual and said she would disinfect his sofa before sitting on it and clean his flat when she came to see him.
Ms Wang became frustrated that Michals was not making time for her and took the relationship more seriously than he did.
In February 2023 they agreed to have sex and Ms Wang sent him instructions on how to enter her flat, wash himself and the condom before coming to the bedroom where she would await him.
He said he went to her flat where she had left the front door open for him and followed the instructions before going into her room where they had sex.
Ms Wang became concerned about having an STI because of a rash she found, but Michals told her she would be fine.
After the horror incident, Michals put the knife, Ms Wang’s phone and the food he had brought in a bin bag and dumped it in the communal bins outside the flat before taking an Uber home.
Asked why he didn’t call emergency services earlier Michals said: “I wasn’t ready for it and I didn’t see the rush.”
Michals deleted his WhatsApp conversations with Ms Wang from his phone but police recovered them.
Describing Ms Wang, the prosecutor said: ‘She was a quiet and gentle person. Her tutor described her as funny, very organised, and well turned out.
“She was a talented writer and keen to talk about her writing- wanting to complete a PHD and return to China.”
“She was a reflective, insightful person interested in mindfulness and meditation.”

President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that large numbers of Iranian drones cannot be effectively countered with Patriot missile systems alone.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
According to him, the cost and production time of the missiles make it difficult to compete with mass-produced drones.
In an interview with the New York Post, Zelenskyy explained that a single Iranian “Shahed” drone is significantly cheaper than a Patriot interceptor missile, making it impractical to rely solely on such systems against large-scale drone attacks.
According to him, even thousands of Patriot missiles would not be enough to stop tens of thousands of drones, as the drones are far cheaper and easier to produce.
“Thousands of Patriot missiles cannot stop tens of thousands of Iranian “shaheds.” One such drone is forty times cheaper than a single Patriot missile. Therefore, in terms of production time and the cost of missiles, it is impossible to compete with drones. There simply will not be enough capacity,” Zelenskyy said.
Zelenskyy added that Ukraine has developed extensive air defense experience during the war with Russia, noting that the country now possesses most components of a comprehensive air defense system, except anti-ballistic capabilities.
He stated that the United States has strong anti-ballistic systems and suggested that combining Ukraine’s air defense experience with US capabilities could help create a more effective system capable of protecting countries facing large-scale aerial threats.
Zelenskyy also warned that drone technology is evolving rapidly and that their operational range could expand significantly in the future.
The Ukrainian leader proposed a partnership between the United States and Ukraine focused on exchanging technology, experience and security cooperation to counter emerging threats.

Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries – OPEC+ raises oil quotas amid Middle East tension
Key members of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries and their allies, jointly known as OPEC+, on Sunday announced a higher-than-expected increase in production quotas following United States and Israeli strikes on Iran, which triggered retaliation by Tehran across the Middle East.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
The eight-member V8 (Voluntary Eight) group within the alliance, which includes major oil producers Saudi Arabia and Russia, as well as several Gulf states affected by Tehran’s missile strikes, said it had agreed to a “production adjustment” of 206,000 barrels per day.
“This adjustment will be implemented in April,” the group said in a statement, according to a report by AFP. Nigeria is also a strong member of OPEC.
The statement did not directly reference the outbreak of conflict involving Iran, instead citing “a steady global economic outlook and current healthy market fundamentals” as justification for the increase.
Before the weekend meeting, analysts had projected a more modest rise of 137,000 barrels per day. However, Jorge Leon, an analyst at Rystad Energy, cautioned that the agreed increase might not be sufficient to prevent the Iran conflict from triggering a spike in oil prices when trading resumes on Monday.
Leon pointed to the possibility of Iran targeting the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway through which nearly a quarter of the world’s seaborne oil supply passes, in retaliation.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have reportedly contacted vessels to announce that the strait is closed. On Sunday, Iranian state television reported that an oil tanker in the strait was struck while allegedly attempting to “illegally” pass through and was sinking. Footage aired by the broadcaster showed a tanker ablaze at sea.
“If oil cannot move through Hormuz, an extra 206,000 barrels per day does very little to ease the market,” Leon said, adding that “logistics and transit risk matter more than production targets right now.”
He said the OPEC+ decision “is unlikely to calm markets.”
“Prices will respond to developments in the Gulf and the status of shipping flows, not to a relatively small increase in output,” he added.
Apart from Russia and Saudi Arabia, the V8 group within OPEC+ comprises Kuwait, Oman, Iraq, and the United Arab Emirates, all of which were targeted by Iranian attacks for a second consecutive day on Sunday. Algeria and Kazakhstan are also members of the group.

BREAKING: Has Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Been Killed in Drone Airstrike? Fact Emerges
On February 28, an X account named ReversingTrend posted: “Initial reports indicate that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was killed by an Iranian drone strike inside his residence in Tel Aviv.”....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
The post quickly gained traction, recording 954,000 views, 1,100 retweets, and 7,700 likes.
Factcheck Africa tool confirmed that the claim was false. Multiple reliable sources confirmed that Benjamin Netanyahu was alive and continued to serve as the Prime Minister of Israel.
See the X post
below:
Further checks by Legit Nigeria showed that his profile entry on Israel’s official website listed his birthdate and current position with no mention of his death. The International Criminal Court (ICC) page also confirmed his status, noting that an arrest warrant was issued against him on November 21, 2024. The existence of this warrant implied that he was alive and subject to ongoing legal proceedings.
The evidence showed that Benjamin Netanyahu had not been killed in a drone strike. He remained in office as Prime Minister of Israel, and no credible reports supported the claim of his death. The viral post was therefore misleading, spreading false information about a sitting world leader.
Verdict
: False – Benjamin Netanyahu was not killed in a drone strike. He was alive and serving as Prime Minister of Israel at the time of the claim.
Who is Benjamin Netanyahu?
According to Israel government, Benjamin Netanyahu was born in 1949 in Tel Aviv and grew up in Jerusalem. His high school years were spent in the United States, where his father, the historian Benzion Netanyahu, taught and conducted historical research. Returning to Israel in 1967, Mr. Netanyahu enlisted in the IDF and served as a soldier and officer in Sayeret Matkal, a special unit of the Israeli army. He took part in several operations, including the rescue of hostages in a hijacked Sabena airplane in 1972. In the same year, he was cited for outstanding operational command by General Mordechai Gur, Chief of Israel’s Northern Command. After his discharge from the IDF in 1972, Mr. Netanyahu served in the Yom Kippur War of 1973 and was promoted after the war to the rank of captain in the Reserves.
Netanyahu received a B.Sc. degree in Architecture and an M.Sc. in Business Management from MIT. He also studied political science at MIT and at Harvard University.
Business
Experience Between 1976 and 1982 Mr. Netanyahu worked in the private sector, first with the Boston Consulting Group, an international business consultancy, and then as Marketing Director of Rim Industries in Jerusalem, an industrialized furniture manufacturer.
According to IndiaTimes, Trump described Khamenei as “one of the most evil people in history” and said he was tracked using “highly sophisticated tracking systems.” He called the strike “the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their country.”
