After a night out with friends, Alison Botha drove back to her apartment in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.



But as soon as the 27-year-old parked her car, a man with a knife forced his way inside. He then said, "Move over, or I'll **** you."

The attacker then drove her car and when he picked up an accomplice, it was clear that the two men had sinister plans for her. By the end of the night, they had raped her, stabbed her at least 30 times, and slashed her throat so deeply that she was nearly decapitated. Left for dead in the middle of a field, she somehow still survived — and managed to identify her assailants.

It may have been, as some Germans honestly believed, corpses buried beneath them, or it may have been the state of the drains. It may simply have been the projection of a short but stormy past into the greyness of that particularly uninviting present. A Woman in Berlin (Secker and Warburg, pp. 284, 15s) tells the story of a single German woman of middle-class family, living in the Neu-Kölln district of Berlin. This district has not...

  Bhopal gas tragedy: 15 shocking photos from 1984 On the Bhopal gas tragedy, we will not show you the candle-light vigils. We will show you the pictures of ground zero, to show how colossal the catastrophe was On the night of December 2, an industrial negligence in Bhopal led to a release of 30 tonnes of toxic methyl icocyanate(MIC)gas, exposing nearly 5 lakh people in the city to the deadly gas.

Couple caught having sex outside Barcelona library Warning: very NSFW. Discretion is clearly not something that this couple are familiar with. They decided that the perfect place to have sex would be outside a library, despite it being the most spectacularly unsexy of locations. And inevitably they were caught on camera while they got down and dirty outside the Blanquerna library in Barcelona, at midday. The graphic footage was captured by a passing university student, who shared it online where it went viral. Here’s the video and another reminder that it’s very graphic, so it’s not our fault when your boss peers over your shoulder. There’s something unsettling about the video, which features a fully clothed man pumping away on top of a woman whose dress is pulled up. WATCH VIDEO FOOTAGE Just so you know, bunny ice cream cones exist in the world  After a while he gets up, leaving her on the floor, while she tries to help herself up. ...
