Owners of dead giant rabbit want United to pay up

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The mysterious case of the dead giant rabbit continues to haunt United Airlines.

The owners of Simon, a 3-foot-long Continental Giant rabbit found dead after a transatlantic United flight, want compensation from the airline and an investigation into its policies for transporting animals.

Lawyers for the group of Iowa residents who bought Simon have sent a letter to United threatening legal action if it doesn't respond within a week.

The death of the giant rabbit is just one of the PR nightmares United has run into in recent weeks. News of it emerged at a time when the airline was already reeling from the huge backlash over one of its passengers being violently dragged off a flight.

Three men pooled their resources to buy Simon for $2,330 from a British breeder with plans to make him a star attraction at the Iowa State Fair, according to their lawyer Guy Cook. They expected 10-month-old Simon would eventually inherit the crown of world's largest rabbit from his father, Darius.

In the letter to United, Cook accused the airline of a "failure to provide Simon the appropriate measure of care he deserved, which resulted in Simon's death."

United said in a statement Monday that it has received the letter and is reviewing it. "Our United team takes its responsibilities in transporting pets seriously, and is saddened by Simon's death," it said.

The rabbit's previous owner in the U.K. said that United had been in regular contact and the matter had been resolved to her satisfaction.

But Cook said that United hasn't done enough.

"My clients have suffered damages and United has taken no action to rectify this matter with my clients," he said.

What caused Simon's death after a flight from London to Chicago in April remains unclear.

United said he arrived at Chicago O'Hare airport "in apparent good condition" and was seen moving about in his crate about 35 minutes later. But shortly after that, a worker "noticed Simon was motionless and that he had passed away."

The problem now, according to Cook, is that United cremated Simon's remains without permission from his breeder or owners. United "cannot prove they acted responsibly, as they destroyed the proof," he said.

The letter to United demands that it hand over all records of the airline's investigation into the death, including any CCTV footage. The owners are also seeking compensation, including for "the economic loss of Simon's future attraction as the 'World's Largest Rabbit.'"

Boston doctors, engaged to each other, slain in luxury apartment.

Richard Field, 49 and Lina Bolanos, 38, were both anesthesiologists at Boston-area practices, according to the couples' respective employers.

Police arrested suspect Bampumim Teixeira, 30, after receiving a 911 call reporting a person with a gun on Dorchester Avenue in South Boston, according to Boston Police.

When officers confronted Teixeira in the building, he allegedly began firing at the officers. After a "violent struggle," according to police, he was arrested and subsequently taken to the hospital.

Teixeira will be charged with two counts of murder, according to Suffolk County District Attorney's Office spokesman Jake Wark. His arraignment will take place early Monday afternoon at the hospital, he said.

An "enormous loss"

Field and Bolanos were both well-regarded anesthesiologists. Field was instrumental in founding North Shore Pain Management, according to a statement from the staff there.

"He was a valued member of the medical community and a tremendous advocate for his patients," North Shore Pain Management said in a statement on its website. "His tragic and sudden passing leaves an inescapable void in all of us."

Bolanos was a pediatric anesthesiologist at Massachusetts Eye and Ear, according to the clinic's CEO, John Fernandez.

"Dr. Bolanos was an outstanding pediatric anesthesiologist and a wonderful colleague in the prime of both her career and life," he said in a statement. "We will do all we can to support their families and our staff members who are processing this senseless tragedy and grieving an enormous loss."

The two were found in their penthouse apartment at the luxurious Macallen Building in South Boston. Josh Golden, the owner of Luxury Residential Group, says that his group regularly works with the building to sell units and recently sold the penthouse across the hall from Bolanos and Field's unit. He said the couple was "very sweet and accommodating" during that process.

"We're shocked by the incident," Golden told CNN.

The building has high security, including security cameras in the lobby and a 24/7 concierge, Golden said. Additionally, access to the elevator for its penthouse level is regulated by a key fob, Golden said.

Motive still unclear

Teixeira has two previous larceny convictions, according to Wark. In the summer of 2016, Teixeira passed a note demanding money at a bank.

The second, virtually identical incident, which remained unsolved until Teixeira volunteered the information to law enforcement after his 2016 arrest, took place in August 2014 at the same location. Teixeira pleaded guilty to both crimes and was sentenced to a term of 364 days, with nine months to serve and the balance suspended for a three-year probationary term, according to Wark. No weapon possession or injuries were reported as a part of either incident.

A motive is still under investigation, he said.

Boston doctors killed: Bag stuffed with jewelry found, suspect arraigned

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The suspect accused in the brutal murders of two engaged doctors at their penthouse condominium in Boston apparently left a black bag stuffed with the woman's jewelry at the scene of the crime, a prosecutor said Monday during the arraignment in a hospital room.

The judge ordered the suspect, Bampumim Teixeira, held without bail on murder charges. The prosecutor did not give any additional details about a possible motive. Cut-up photos of the couple and a message of retribution reportedly appeared at the scene as well.

Richard Field, 49, and Lina Bolanos, 38, were found dead on the 11th floor of the Macallan Building Friday, police said. The doctors were bound at the hands with their throats slit -- and there was blood smeared on the wall, the Boston Globe reported.

An attorney for Teixeira, 30, entered not-guilty pleas on his behalf to two counts of murder. Teixeira kept his eyes closed through his arraignment at Tufts Medical Center, and his lawyer didn't argue for bail. Teixeira had been shot in the hand, abdomen and leg by police.

Field had sent a text message to a friend in his final moments saying there was "a gunman in the house," but when police arrived, it was too late, prosecutors told the judge.

At a press conference Monday, Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel Conley said Teixeira had not fired at the arriving officers, contrary to an initial statement by Boston Police Commissioner William Evans.

"[The] officers believed he pointed a weapon at them," Conley said. "We are not drawing any negative connotations of these actions, we are simply looking to correct the record."

Conley also criticized news outlets who cited anonymous sources in reporting gruesome details about the crime scene Friday night. The district attorney said some of those details were "flatly, incontrovertably wrong" and their reporting "deeply hurt two grieving families." He did not specify what details were incorrect, citing the investigation and forthcoming court case.

Conley also said that there was no evidence that Teixeira knew either of the victims, "nor is there any evidence to explain why he would attack them so viciously in their own home."

Field was a doctor at North Shore Pain management and served as an anesthesiologist and pain management specialist at several other places, while Bolanos was pediatric anesthesiologist at Massachusetts Eye and Ear. The pair was engaged to be married, Fox 25 Boston reported.

Teixeira's ex-girlfriend told the Globe that he had sent her a mysterious text message and called her on April 22.

She said Teixeira told her that she would never see him again and that he did not plan to live long. He also told her he would never hurt anyone.

Teixeira was born in Guinea-Bissau and raised in Cape Verde, the Boston Globe reported. He moved to the Boston area when he was in his 20s, but started to live in shelters after having a falling out with his aunt.

He pleaded guilty to two bank robberies - one in 2014 and the other in 2016. In both instances, he passed the bank teller a note saying he had a weapon but never brandished one.

(WWSB) -- You thought "muddy jeans" were bad? Just wait until you see these shoes.

Neiman Marcus is jumping on the faux-busted fashion trend by selling a pair of destroyed sneakers on its website for more than $1,400.

The "Future Destroyed High-Top Sneaker" by Maison Margiela will run you $1,425 a pair. The high-top shoes have holes and frayed material, and some might say they look more like a dog's chew toy than an avant-garde fashion statement.

Irish beach comes back after a storm from 1984.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
(CNN) - A beach that was washed away by storms more than 30 years ago has reappeared off the west coast of Ireland.

The sands at Dooagh on County Mayo's Achill Island vanished in the winter of 1984, leaving nothing but bare rock and rock pools.

But over the course of a few days in April 2017 the Atlantic returned what it had stolen, depositing thousands of tons of sand and creating a brand new 300-meter golden strand.

The storms of 1984 "completely took every last grain of sand off the beach," Sean Molloy of Achill Tourism tells CNN.

But last month, "in the space of about eight or 10 days, these very strong winds came from the north," he explains.

"Apparently what that does is, it blows the surface water back, because this is a south-facing beach. The sea then takes the sands underneath and brings the sands up. That's what I've been told."

This YouTube video from March 2017 shows what the beach looked like before the sands arrived.

Achill is Ireland's largest island and its 57 square miles of rolling bogland, dramatic cliffs and pristine -- if windswept -- beaches have inspired writers including Graham Greene and Heinrich Boll.

With a population of fewer than 3,000, the main economy is tourism and the arrival of the new beach has given things an unexpected boost.

"It's lovely," says Roisin Lavelle, owner of Teach Cruachan B&B, which overlooks Dooagh Bay. "Mostly all you see is waves and rocks, so it has been been really lovely to see a big expanse of sand."

It's also coincided with a stretch of warm spring sunshine on a coastline known for its temperamental weather. "The weather is fantastic, it's been good for the last week or so," adds Lavelle.

Molloy estimates that Achill receives around 150,000 to 180,000 visitors a year, but the sunshine and the new beach have been bringing in the crowds. This past weekend "looked like a bank holiday weekend, so many people came."

But while the beach is ideal for an Atlantic stroll, Molloy isn't recommending people slip into their Speedos just yet.

"Because of the sand coming in, we don't know how safe the beach is now because currents could be changed and it'll take a little bit of time."

It's best to leave the swimming to the dolphins which regularly arrive in Dooagh Bay in large numbers.

"A lot of people come to Achill to look at the power of nature because you see the cliffs and the boglands and the beaches and mountains," says Molloy. "This is just one very vivid example of the power of nature."

And with the high spring tides over and the sunshine still holding, islanders are hoping their new beach is here to stay. Laughs Lavelle: "That'd be the icing on the cake, if we get the weather now!"
