A husband returned home to find his son's dog eating his wife's body after killing her.   The 66-year-old husband returned to his Long Island home in Nassau County, New York, to find his wife Marina Verriest, 70, dead, with the pit bull feasting on her body.   The incident happened at around 1pm on Wednesday, July 27.   The horrified man called the police, and when the first officer on the scene entered the family home the seven-year-old dog charged at him - forcing the officer to draw their weapon and fire, killing the dog. "The scene was pretty horrific. We don’t know what time the attack took place but there was obviously a lot of mutilation on the body and the arm, the face, the legs," Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder said at a press conference. He added that the police officer who shot the dog was now being offered counselling to help cope with the psychological effects of what they had seen: "The officer saw some...

Image
Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have announced their engagement after over a year of dating. The American actress, 35,  and rapper, 31, whose real name is Colson Baker, shared the announcement on their respective Instagram accounts on Wednesday January 12. "In July of 2020, we sat under this banyan tree," Fox wrote in the caption of her post. "We asked for magic. We were oblivious to the pain we would face together in such a short, frenetic period of time. Unaware of the work and sacrifices the relationship would require from us but intoxicated off of the love. And the karma."     The couple returned to that spot for a special moment. In a video posted by Fox, the two are seen atop a flight of stairs. MGK then went on one knee to pop the question to Fox, who was wearing a sultry black cutout dress.  "Somehow a year and a half later, having walked through hell together, and having laughed more than I ever imagined possible, he a...
