Now retired, Bolt excited about the next chapter

It was not the fastest 400m of Usain Bolt’s career (his lifetime best will go down in history as 45.28, dating back to 2007) but it was a landmark circuit for the Jamaican who has illuminated track and field these past nine years with his superhuman talent and his stellar personality.

Alleged hammer killer also stabbed his mother: prosecutor

The Long Island man who brutally bludgeoned to death his mother, sister and her friend with a hammer also used a knife to stab his mom multiple times, a prosecutor said in court Sunday.
Prosecutor Ani Pulaski said Bobby Vanderhall, 34, “used a hammer to viciously attack and bludgeon to death three female victims” on Saturday.
“During the attack on his mother, he also used a knife to stab her multiple times,” Pulaski added.
The suspect’s uncle, 70-year-old Leon Alexander, said “some of everything” is wrong with his nephew.
“He’s a big, strong kid,” he said. “Once, when things got out of hand, it took six guys to take him down.”
The 230-pound Vanderhall wore a grey hooded jumpsuit during his five-minute arraignment in a courtroom in Nassau County District Court in Hempstead that was packed with victims’ family members.
