'this is Charm blow, we are abandoning ship'

On Sunday radio connection between the boat and the coast guard went dead. Searchers have been scoring the water in San Francisco for the reported occupants of a 29- foot sailboat with a couple and their four year old and the child's cousin, who the Coast Guard said was younger the eight. The man steering the ship called the Coast Guard hours earlier to say that the boat had begun to take on water and there electronics were failing. The boat was 65 miles off the Pillar point, south of San Francisco. There have been several aircraft and vessels that have now joined the search for the four missing people.

Girlfriend shot 4 times through bathroom door

Model Reeva Steenkamp was shot four times though the door at the home of Olympian Oscar Pistorius.  She was still alive when she was carried down the stairs by Pistorius officials say. A blood stained cricket bat was emerged as key evidence in the case. Detectives are working to determine whether the bat was used to attack Steenkamp or she used it in self-defense. Detectives are also investigating if the bat that they found was possibly used to break the door down into the bathroom. Police have charged Pistorius with murder and he will appear in court later this week for a bail hearing.
