Sarmistha Sen murder charge, Man arrested in murder of Texas woman

 Sarmistha Sen murder charge, Man arrested in murder of Texas woman.

A man is facing a capital murder charge in connection with the slaying of a cancer researcher and mother of two who was found dead near a creek in Plano earlier this month, police said Monday.

Detectives served an arrest warrant Monday for Bakari Abiona Moncrief, 29, in connection with the death of 43-year-old Sarmistha Sen, Plano police said.

Moncrief had previously been named a person of interest in Sen’s slaying.

She was found the morning of Aug. 1, after police were called to Legacy Drive and Marchman Way to check on a woman who appeared to be lying down near Spring Creek. Sen was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

Police wrote in court records obtained Monday by The Dallas Morning News that Moncrief attacked Sen while she was on a jogging trail, then restrained her and brought her to the creek under Legacy Drive, where she was killed.

Based on a ruling from the medical examiner and possible weapons found at the scene, police think Sen died of blunt force injuries, according to the affidavit.

The document didn’t offer a motive for the slaying but said Moncrief may have been showing signs of mental health issues about that time. An attorney listed for Moncrief didn’t immediately return a message left at his office Monday afternoon.

DNA testing later confirmed that Sen’s blood was found on Moncrief’s clothing, according to the affidavit.

UK debt 2 trillion, UK government spending on virus measures pushes. UK government debt has risen above £2 trillion for the first time amid heavy spending to support the economy amid the coronavirus pandemic. Spending on measures such as the furlough scheme means the debt figure now equals the value of everything the UK produces in a year. Total debt hit £2.004tn in July, £227.6bn more than last year,  said the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Economists warned the situation would worsen before improving. Where do governments borrow money? It is the first time debt has been above 100% of gross domestic product (GDP) since the 1960-61 financial year, the ONS said. The July borrowing figure - the difference between spending and tax income - was £26.7bn, down from a revised £29.5bn in June. It was the fourth highest borrowing in any month since records began in 1993. The three higher figures were the previous three months. Those are big figures. What do they mean? Ruth Gregory, s...

Roger Stone appeal drop of his conviction (Details)

 Roger Stone appeal drop of his conviction (Details). Roger Stone, an admitted dirty trickster and longtime associate of President Trump, has dropped the appeal of his conviction for lying to Congress and witness tampering during his work on the 2016 Trump campaign. Stone gave little reason for his concession in a sworn statement filed to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday night, but on his website said that “my attorneys have convinced me that the odds of victory were slim.” “It is time for me to move on with my life with my family, friends, and supporters,” Stone said. “I regret not going forward with the appeal to fully expose all that happened, with the hope that by doing so, I could help prevent it from happening to anyone else ever again; but I had to decide based on what is best for me and my family.” Trump commuted his sentence last month. Stone was convicted in a jury trial last November on seven counts of lying to Congress, obstruction of Congress and witness ...
