Two brothers fight for one curry puff: Tanglin Crispy Curry Puff stall family feud splits founder sons

28-year-old American mum Julissa Thaler was sitting in the car in traffic when police officers spotted her.

She had blood on her hands and bullet holes in the backseat of her car. But the police let her go, and no one knows why they did that.

According to local media, when police finally apprehended Julissa Thaler, she was running from her apartment barefoot, with blood and what appeared to be brain fragments in her hair.

Mystery monkeypox outbreak sparked by sex raves in Europe
It started with people complaining of skin rashes that look like chickenpox at sexual health clinics in Europe after rave parties. The main symptom of monkeypox is a rash that looks like chickenpox before turning into blisters and scabbing.
Earlier in the UK, health officials have suggested that sex at two raves in Europe could be to blame for the mysterious monkeypox outbreaks on the continent. Although monkeypox is not a sexually transmitted infection (STI), it can be transmitted through direct contact during sex. Monkeypox is typically a mild virus that causes fever, headache, and a distinctive bumpy skin rash, but it can be severe. Symptoms usually go away after two to four weeks.
