CRAZY NEWS

Maya with Doll is a portrait of Picasso's daughter



Picasso paintings stolen
At least two Picasso paintings with a combined value of 50 million euros have been stolen from his granddaughter's home in Paris. A portrait of the Spanish painter's daughter, Maya with Doll, and one of his second wife Jacqueline Roque were taken on Monday night, police said.

There was no evidence of a break-in at the home of Diana Widmaier-Picasso, in Paris's chic seventh arrondissement.

The works of the iconic painter are among the world's most valuable - and frequently targeted by thieves.

In the largest theft of Picasso works, thieves stole 118 pieces from a museum in the southern French city of Avignon in 1976.

His 1905 masterpiece Boy with a Pipe is still the most expensive painting sold at auction. It went for $104.200.000 in 2004. Picasso died in France in 1973, aged 91.


How sick can you get???
Shocking news from Belgium, where a mother of five killed all her children (aged between 3 and 14) before trying to commit suicice. Yes trying... the crazy bitch survived! Pretty unbelievable... After killing her children she even called the emergency phone number herself.

In the township of Nijvel the five kids - four girls and one boy) were stabbed by their mother, who had sent a letter to her friend announcing her plans. Unfortunately the letter arrived after the tragedy had taken place.



Belated execution
In Texas 44-year old Donald Miller, who had been on death row in prison for the last 24 (!!) years, was executed yesterday. Donald Miller was sentenced to death at age 19 for his role in the murder of Michael Mozingo.
