Former reality star Tamika Chesser is accused of murdering and decapitating her partner in a grisly case that has shocked Australia. The 34-year-old, who appeared in series two of Beauty and the Geek back in 2010, is accused of killing Julian Story on or around June 17.

On June 19, neighbours of Story’s called the emergency services after spotting smoke coming from the apartment the couple shared in the South Australian fishing port of Port Lincoln. Julian, 38, was subsequently found dismembered and missing his head on the bathroom floor of the unit.

According to ABC, police documents said officers had discovered “deceased remains which were severely burnt and disfigured” at the property. “The accused was seated in a garden chair in the rear yard adjacent to unit 3 in an unresponsive and catatonic state at this time,” the official report added.

Chesser was arrested and charged with murder. The former TV star was taken to Port Lincoln hospital, before being admitted to forensic mental health care facility James Nash House.

The murder suspect is alleged to have used a bag to transport Julian’s head to an unknown location and police officers and disaster volunteer organisation SES went onto scour cliffs, parks and bushland in the town, as well as the ocean around the pier and bay area. But in a major update, the multi-agency search has been called off.

South Australian police said in a statement: “Intensive searching using these resources has been paused for now but may resume at a later stage. Investigators are now in the process of reviewing a significant amount of CCTV footage to determine any other areas for searching and may return to Port Lincoln. Police wish to reassure the public that the accused remains in custody charged with murder, and that this was not a random incident. “

CCTV images show Chesser walking three dogs and carrying a bag while wearing a Hijab-style head covering. Detectives are keen to pin down more of her movements in the week of the murder, particularly between midnight on June 17 and and 3.30pm on June 19, with locals asked to review any CCTV or dashcam footage.

“We know that Tamika did not drive a vehicle and regularly walked around the township of Port Lincoln,” said Detective Superintendent Darren Fielke. “We are appealing to anyone who can help us to identify Tamika’s movements to please contact police. We are releasing the details of this horrific crime because it is vital for Julian’s family to peacefully lay him to rest. “

Chesser appeared at Adelaide Magistrates Court last Friday, with a date set for her to return in December. As he appealed for information, Det Supt Fielke said Julian’s family were keen to lay their loved one to rest.

Diddy’s kids give two-word response to verdict after supporting through harrowing trial

Diddy’s family have spoken out after he was cleared of the most serious charges after the jury handed down a verdict today at a New York Court.

The hip hop mogul had been found not guilty of racketeering and of sex trafficking former girlfriend Cassie Ventura and another woman referred to as ‘Jane. ‘ As the verdict, decided by eight men and four women, acquitted him of the most serious counts, he dropped to the floor. But he was found guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution, relating to Ventura and Jane.

When asked how his dad was, Diddy’s son, Christian, known professionally as King Combs, responded: “Great,” while his daughters added: “Good, happy. “

During the two-month trial, the court heard how Diddy flew people around the country, including his girlfriends and paid male sex workers, to engage in sexual encounters, a felony violation of the federal Mann Act.

However, he was acquitted of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges, relating to allegations that he forced his former girlfriends into drug-fuelled sex encounters, which had been known as ‘Freak-Offs. ‘

Shortly before the verdicts were delivered following days of deliberation, Diddy asked the courtroom to pray for his family, and this was received with applause.

When the news was delivered, he fell to his knees, with his head down in his chair, appearing to pray after avoiding the longest sentence – life in prison for the highest charge.

Diddy’s family, who had supported him throughout the case, clapped and cheered. His defence lawyers hugged one another, and Diddy then stopped and embraced his lawyer, Brian Steel. The mixed result came on day three of deliberations.

Throughout the ongoing trial, Diddy had pleaded not guilty to all allegations made against him. Diddy appeared overwhelmed as the court adjourned for at least a few hours.

His attorney told the court that Diddy had been given “his life” by the jury after he faced spending the rest of it behind bars. Marc Agnifilo added that the musician would be “nothing short of a fool” if he violated any of the conditions laid out by the court, should he be released from custody.

Agnifilo said: “He treasures, I assure you, the opportunity that he has been given, and he will not run afoul of anything this court imposes on him. ” Agnifilo went on to say that he should be “released on appropriate conditions,” as he had been acquitted on racketeering and sex trafficking.

He’s reportedly considering returning to his home in Miami, where he would live under the conditions of his release, if he is to be released. Judge Arun Subramanian asked: “Is your proposal that he leaves this courtroom and walk outside? ” Agnifilo replied, it was.

They were also treated to hits Some Might Say and F****n’ In The Bushes. According to one fan on Reddit, Oasis is set to play an epic 24-song setlist.

The fan revealed the rehearsal setlist, which teases what may be included in the live shows. They claimed it kicks off with an intro of F****n’ in the Bushes then Hello, Acquiesce, Morning Glory followed by Some Might Say.

Speaking about the first reunion gig, a source told us: “With a new lineup and it being such a huge first show, the boys will do some songs inside the venue too. Some tours would start with a smaller show or take a week or two to get into the groove again.

“But there is no time for that, and also Liam and Noel want every night to be massive. This is such a huge comeback show, and they are taking it very seriously. It all points to it being an incredible comeback tour. “

Noel Gallagher reveals secret of Oasis success in new interview days before epic reunion

Noel Gallagher, the band’s star, has revealed the secret to their massive success just days before they’re finally set to reunite after 16 years of separation.

Noel Gallagher has addressed the Oasis tour’s appeal to music lovers of all ages in an interview with Noel Gallagher.

The first fans have been queuing up at the Principality stadium and Cardiff pop up shop to get their hands on the tour programme. In it Noel Gallagher spoke at younger fans and why so many people tried to get tickets for the Oasis Live 25 tour.

Noel remarked, “A new generation recognizes how Oasis was not produced. It was chaotic, flawed, and lacking in technical excellence. People recognized that we were rough-as-a-trainers in a rehearsal room.

Noel’s comments come just a couple of days after brother Liam gave an interview to Burberry, in what could be his final on screen chat before he takes to the stage in Cardiff.

When asked what qualities make a great frontman, Liam responded, “I mean having good singing.” Simply getting on with your job, carrying out it, and trying to look cool and create a vibe.

He has previously attributed Ian Brown’s influence to him as a youngster and demanded that the money for the Stone Roses be used to “help a little bit” of that.

Liam was also asked about the things he couldn’t live without, and some of these things he will undoubtedly miss whilst on tour, especially his pet. He said: “Football, my family, my missus, my kids, my dog. In no particular order by the way. My dog’s called Buttons.”

Oasis have arrived in Cardiff ahead of the the start of their sensational reunion tour – which will finally see Noel and Liam Gallagher on stage together for the first time in 16 years.

The countdown is now on for the first show of the world tour on Friday, with the band having got back together several months ago to begin jamming.

The first photos of the band leaving rehearsals in London were published in May. They showed Noel Gallagher, Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs, Gem Archer and Andy Bell who will play guitars in the massive sold out gigs, with Andy on bass.

Liam joined on June 3 after initially being on vocal rest. Christian Madden, a keyboardist, and Joey Waronker, a drummer, both join the band on drums. He has previously performed on tour with Liam, but never with Oasis.

As their first tour stop in Cardiff will be on July 4, Noel and Liam will join forces on stage for the first time since their band split nearly 20 years ago. As part of the tour, dates will be held in Dublin, London, and Manchester.

Noel, 57, left the Manchester rock band on August 28, 2009, saying he “simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.” The brothers had previously made disparaging remarks about one another.

That all changed when the tour was announced in August of last year. The pair exchanged several photos to confirm the band’s long-awaited reunion on Tuesday, saying, “The great wait is over.

Diddy’s ex Cassie Ventura breaks silence as rapper dodges most serious charges

Cassie Ventura, P Diddy’s ex-girlfriend, has spoken out about his conviction for two crimes. In a New York courthouse, the disgraced rapper, whose real name is Sean Combs, was facing charges of a number of serious crimes.

The rapper, 55, was accused of prostitution, racketeering, and sex trafficking. All charges against him have been refuted by DJ. The jury handed the presiding judge two notes on Monday, which caused the proceedings to start. Cassie Ventura and Jane were both found guilty of carrying out prostitution, as well as other people, including but not limited to Diddy. The other three counts, including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, were found not to be true by him.

34 witnesses, including famous people like Kid Cudi and Cassie, were heard by the jury during the trial that started at the Federal District Court in Lower Manhattan on May 5. Cassie discussed the 2016 incident where Diddy attacked her at a Los Angeles hotel during her testimony.

She also described how Diddy had raped her in her home’s living room. Her lawyer has now stated in a statement that her client, Cassie Ventura, who was found guilty of two counts and was cleared of other charges, “started this criminal process” in November 2023.

After Diddy’s sentencing, Cassie (Getty Images North America) has spoken out.

Combs’ “paved the way for a jury to find him guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution,” even though the jury found him not guilty of sex trafficking Cassie beyond a reasonable doubt. Cassie has left an indelible impression on the fight for justice and the entertainment industry as a result of her experience. We must say without reservation that we support and believe our client, who displayed exceptional courage throughout this case. She demonstrated unquestionable strength and brought attention to the misconduct that has persisted for decades without repercussions and the realities of powerful men in our orbit. We will continue to fight for the rights of survivors in light of this case, which demonstrated that change was long overdue.

On May 17, Cassie’s attorney, Doug Wigdor, acknowledged in a statement that her testimony had been “challenging.” This week has been incredibly challenging, but also remarkably enlightening and healing for me.

“The more I heal, the more I remember,” I thought. And I never forget, especially as much as I can recall. I’m grateful for all the kindness and encouragement I’ve received, and I want to thank my family and my advocates for their unwavering support.

I’m happy to end this difficult chapter of my life. I ask for privacy as I shift my attention to the pregnancy’s conclusion and my growing family.
