BREAKING NEWS San Antonio cops investigate 'high profile murder' after man was stabbed to death by family member
A 78-year-old man was brutally stabbed to death inside his San Antonio home on Tuesday morning, and a family member has been taken into custody after fleeing the scene. San Antonio Police Chief William McManus described the killing as a 'high-profile murder' during an afternoon press briefing. Officers were called shortly before 11am to the home that lies within a gated community in the North Side area of the city. A housekeeper inside the residence called 911 after discovering the victim suffering from multiple stab wounds, telling dispatchers there was 'blood all around' and that she could not stop the bleeding. Chief McManus said the suspect, believed to be in his 40s, attacked the victim following an apparent argument or family dispute. After stabbing the man several times, the suspect fled the house, leaving the victim to 'bleed out while lying in the garage,' McManus said. San Antonio's North Side is generally considered one of the more affluent and desirable areas of the city making the murder all the more shocking. Law enforcement tracked down and detained the suspect late on Tuesday morning in Kimble County, roughly 120 miles northwest of San Antonio. Authorities did not immediately clarify why the suspect, who is not from Texas, was in the city or what motivated the deadly assault. 'There is no ongoing threat to the public,' McManus assured the public. The victim's name will be released pending formal identification by the Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office.

Inept French cops given millions of YOUR cash for planes, 4x4s & drones STILL fail to stop migrant boats
FRENCH cops paraded around in a buggy paid for by the UK — as dinghy migrants set sail. On yet another shambolic day, the number of arrivals here hit a record 20,000 since the start of 2025. 7 Critics said the £500million of taxpayer cash given to France had turned its beaches into 'the world's most expensive sieve'. Patrols with jeeps, quad bikes and drones were pictured on the sand yesterday as smugglers prepared to launch more dinghies. On Monday alone, 879 reached British shores, the third biggest daily total in 2025. We saw patrols at Gravelines near Dunkirk, and Équihen, west of Calais. The crisis is now 48 per cent worse than this time last year and 75 per cent higher than in 2023, according to Home Office figures. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said: 'Record numbers of young undocumented males have crossed this year thanks to French beaches being the world's most expensive sieve — this is a disaster for the country. 'They are costing us money, making us less safe, and they bring a terrorist threat. 'This will only get worse under the weakest Prime Minister I have ever seen.' PM Sir Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron are due to meet in London next week for a State visit and a summit focused on tackling the crossings. The UK first signed a deal with France under the last Tory government, with nearly £500million committed to extra patrols, surveillance drones, vehicles and riot vans. Illegal Channel migrant delivery riders ARRESTED as cops swoop on major asylum hotel after Sun expose Sir Keir has extended the commitment. The leaders are also preparing to unveil a new 'one in, one out' migrant returns deal — sending some Channel arrivals to France in exchange for Britain accepting migrants with family reunion rights. But the Tories have branded the plan a 'fantasy' and demanded their Rwanda scheme be reinstated. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: 'One year into Labour 's government and the boats haven't stopped, they've multiplied. 'It's become a free-for-all. 'We need a removals deterrent so every single illegal immigrant who arrives is removed outside Europe. 'The crossings will then rapidly stop.' Sir Keir has faced pressure to deliver on his promise to ' smash the gangs ' fuelling the crisis. 7 7 But Downing Street insisted it will take time to solve it, warning 'it's not simple' to dismantle international smuggling networks. The PM's spokesman said the figures were 'clearly unacceptable', adding: 'But let's be clear, gangs have been allowed to embed industrial-scale smuggling enterprises across Europe, whilst our own asylum system collapsed through failed policies like Rwanda. 'But we are taking action.' The spokesman pointed to arrests of gang leaders, thousands of boat seizures, and closer ties with France. 7 7
