EastEnders fans are worried that Gray Atkins will strike again and kill Kush Kazemi ahead of his departure from Walford.

After tuning into Thursday’s episode of the BBC soap, viewers predicted that Kush (Davood Ghadami) and his fiancée Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) will not get the happily ever after they’re hoping for.

The latest episode ended with Kush surprising Whitney at home and telling her they need to leave Albert Square – and the country – as soon as possible.

Kush looked panicked as he admitted he would no longer be going to prison because he decided to strike a deal with the police and grass on the Mitchell family, after initially agreeing to a deal with Phil and his son Ben.

Whitney looked delighted as she realised they could finally be together minus a prison sentence, but her expression soon changed as Kush told her they needed to flee immediately.

EastEnders fans were quick to predict a rather grisly end for Kush – but not at the hands of Phil or Ben Mitchell, but Gray instead.

Gray is insanely jealous of Whitney’s relationship with Kush and was not happy when he found out they were engaged.

“I recon gray is gonna get Kush and then he won’t even able to give evidence and thus, everyone will go free 🙁 #EastEnders (sic),” one person tweeted.

Another viewer posted: “Obviously Phil and Ben will face no consequences because they never do, but at least Kush stood up to them before Gray kills him. #EastEnders.”

A third added: “So gray is clearly going to kill kush and blame it on the Mitchell’s because obviously now they have a clear vendetta against him…. F**K #EastEnders #Ballum.”

A fourth person tweeted: “What’s the betting Gray will end up killing Kush and Whitney will just believe he’s gone on the run alone. Tina all over again. #eastenders.”

A fifth fan claimed they had correctly guessed how Kush would be bowing out: “I knew Kush would be killed and this gives Gray the perfect person to frame.”

And another person simply wrote: “Gray has the reason to pin the brutal murder of Kush on the Mitchell’s #eastenders.”

It was confirmed last year that 38-year-old actor Davood would be leaving EastEnders after playing the role of Kush since 2014.

EastEnders airs Mondays and Fridays at 8pm, and Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One.

A murderer who was paroled following decades behind bars has reportedly been accused of killing another individual in Los Angeles after his release.

According to Fox 11, the suspect was recently charged in the stabbing murder of a woman in the weeks after the state canceled his parole conditions.

“Court documents obtained by FOX 11 reveal that 67-year-old Eddie Allen Harris has been charged with the Mar. 23 stabbing murder of a woman in south Los Angeles,” the outlet said.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office filed the case on April 12, the article continued:

According to LAPD, officers responded to E. 59th Place & South Main Street in south Los Angeles at around 5:30 a.m., where they found a deceased Black woman in an alley with lacerations across her body. Jail records show that Harris was arrested for the murder on April 8, and is currently in jail with a $2 million bond.

Law enforcement sources tell FOX 11’s Bill Melugin that Harris is accused of committing this murder just weeks after his parole conditions were lifted by the state for a previous murder he had been convicted of decades earlier. According to court documents obtained by FOX 11, in 1982, Harris was convicted of murdering another woman in Los Angeles County.

Police reportedly told the outlet regarding the 1982 case, Harris “raped and stabbed a woman to death before leaving her body in an alley.”

Melugin shared a photo of Harris in a tweet Thursday along with what appeared to be the case document:

EXCLUSIVE: A 67 y/o man convicted in 1982 of raping & murdering a woman in L.A. was granted parole after 30+ yrs in prison. He spent only 3 yrs on parole before the state terminated his supervision. Now, he’s charged with committing a new murder weeks after that decision. @FOXLA pic.twitter.com/QTfO8Armg2

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department website showed Harris was booked into the Twin Towers Correctional Facility and is due in court on May 17.

Larry Morse, Legislative Director for the California District Attorneys Association, said he expected these incidents to happen more due to changes in state law reducing California’s elderly parole eligibility to the age of 50.

“A lot of criminals are still very active and very capable of inflicting unimaginable pain and suffering on people after 50 years of age. There is a headlong rush in Sacramento to pass any and everything that can be characterized as criminal justice reform,” Morse stated.

“The fact of the matter is a great deal of what is coming out of Sacramento these days is not reform, it’s reckless,” he concluded.

Cincinelli appeared tearfully before a federal judge in Central Islip Friday afternoon. Prosecutors revealed she tried to hire a hitman to kill two people: An ex-husband and the daughter of another man for $7,000.

Cincinelli has made headlines before: Two years ago she helped foil a bank robbery in Queens. Now the NYPD officer is making news for all the wrong reasons. Prosecutors say the evidence is overwhelming.

She allegedly “hatched and carried out a plot” in her Oceanside home to “hire a hitman to murder” an ex-husband and another man’s daughter, according to prosecutors. In intercepted cell phone calls and on video she allegedly ordered the hits, plotting to kill the daughter as she left school.

When asked by the judge if she understands her rights and the charges against her, a tearful Cincinelli replied “Yes ma’am.” Her legal aid attorney argued for bail, citing 12 years with the NYPD, but prosecutors say she’s on modified duty, disciplined for infractions, with a history of volatile marriages.

Cincinelli, a mother of two young children, had only her brother in court, who left without comment.

Sources told CBS2 her current boyfriend is not charged in the plot and may be cooperating with the government.

The judge ordered Cincinelli held, citing very strong evidence of guilt in the case. Her attorney did not comment.

The NYPD has suspended her because of the arrest.

Cincinelli has been with the NYPD since 2007. In 2017, she had her gun taken and she was placed on modified assignment.

She had previously been placed on modified assignment for multiple former domestic incidents involving her ex-husband that required Nassau County Police to respond.

“Preliminary investigation shows that the suspect confessed to having administered the substance, suspected to be sniper insecticide, to the child.

“She claimed that her action was due to her husband’s inability to take care of her and their daughter and that she wanted the child to become sick so that her husband could spend money to treat him.

“The child was confirmed dead in the hospital and his corpse deposited in the mortuary for autopsy,’’ he said.

Ndukwe further stated that the container of the substance and syringe she used in administering the substance to the child, had been recovered.

He said that further investigation into the case was ongoing at the State Criminal Investigation Department, in Enugu.

A top French court has upheld a decision not to charge an “Allahu Akbar” yelling man accused of murdering a Jewish woman, claiming he was not criminally responsible because he was in a drugs-related “delirious episode” at the time.

France’s Court of Cassation ruled that Kobili Traoré would not be charged in the death of an Orthodox Jewish woman named Sarah Halimi. Halimi died in 2017 after Traoré, who was her neighbour, allegedly beat and pushed her out of the window of her Paris apartment while praying and shouting.

The Court of Cassation hearings began last month and looked into whether or not to overrule a prior appeal court ruling from December of 2019, which maintained that Traoré’s excessive marijuana use had triggered a “delirious episode”, leaving him not criminally responsible for the alleged acts.

Another court in 2018 had refused to hold Traoré criminally liable, claiming that he had been in a state of delirium at the time and had been a heavy user of marijuana, France24 reports .

“We do not understand the determination and procrastination that consistently seeks to turn this killer into a demented person, when he is a murderer whose presumed detention doesn’t even hide his hateful anti-Semitism,” Francis Kalifat of the Jewish group CRIF said at the time.

Kalifat reacted to the new ruling, saying on Twitter, “Now in our country, we can torture and kill Jews with impunity,” while tagging France’s President Emmanuel Macron and Justice Minister Eric Dupond-Moretti.

President Macron had criticised a court move to refuse to hold Traoré to account last year, saying that there was a need for a trial. His remarks sparked criticism from those who spoke of separation between the powers of the executive and the judiciary.

Lawyers representing the family of Halimi stated the ruling was a “bad message for Jewish citizens” and viewed to take their case to the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). Traoré’s lawyer said that while he understood the family’s anger, he claimed his client was not fit to stand trial.

Dovid Efine, the editor of the Jewish newspaper Algemeiner , commented on the top court ruling saying : “The blow to French Jews can’t be understated. We stand in full solidarity.”

The case is just one of several murders of Jews in France in recent years, such as the murder of 85-year-old Mireille K., a Holocaust survivor who was stabbed 11 times to death by her Muslim neighbour in 2018.

A report released in 2019 revealed that France had seen a 73 per cent rise in antisemitic incidents in the year Mireille K. was killed.
