A man in South Korea has confessed to murdering his girlfriend and hiding her body in cement - 16 years after she was reported as missing.
The man, who is in his 50s, told local police he hit the woman with a blunt object during an argument at his apartment in the southern city of Geoje.
He then placed her dead body into a suitcase, which he buried under a layer of bricks and cement on his balcony.
It remained there unnoticed until last month, when a maintenance worker discovered it while drilling, local media reported.
The body - which had been partially preserved by the suitcase - was identified as the missing woman's through fingerprint analysis. An autopsy revealed that she had died from blunt force trauma to the head.
The man, who police are calling Mr A, was not living in the apartment when the body was discovered but was quickly found and arrested.
He told police that he had been living with the woman for about five years in the studio apartment in Geoje, before an argument in October 2008 culminating in him hitting her with a blunt object.
He then buried the suitcase containing her body under a layer of bricks and cement on a small third-floor balcony, which could only be accessed from one of the bedrooms.Police say he carried on living in the apartment for another eight years, before he was arrested on drugs charges in 2016.
Since then, the landlord of the apartment had left it empty, using it as storage space.
The woman - who was in her 30s at the time - was not reported missing by her family until three years after her death, the authorities said.
They had reportedly lost touch with their daughter and - when they came to look for her in Geoje - were told she had broken up with Mr A and left the city.
It was only this year when the owner of the building ordered some waterproofing work that the 16-year mystery could be solved.
Police say they are continuing with their investigations and are expected to charge the man with murder.
The messaging app Telegram has said it will hand over users' IP addresses and phone numbers to authorities who have search warrants or other valid legal requests.
The change to its terms of service and privacy policy "should discourage criminals", CEO Pavel Durov said in a Telegram post on Monday.
“While 99.999% of Telegram users have nothing to do with crime, the 0.001% involved in illicit activities create a bad image for the entire platform, putting the interests of our almost billion users at risk,” he continued.
The announcement marks a significant reversal for Mr Durov, the platform’s Russian-born co-founder who was detained by French authorities last month at an airport just north of Paris.
Days later, prosecutors there charged him with enabling criminal activity on the platform. Allegations against him include complicity in spreading child abuse images and trafficking of drugs. He was also charged with failing to comply with law enforcement.
Mr Durov, who has denied the charges, lashed out at authorities shortly after his arrest, saying that holding him responsible for crimes committed by third parties on the platform was both "surprising" and "misguided."
Critics say Telegram has become a hotbed of misinformation, child pornography, and terror-related content partly because of a feature that allows groups to have up to 200,000 members.
Meta-owned WhatsApp, by contrast, limits the size of groups to 1,000.
Telegram was scrutinised last month for hosting far-right channels that contributed to violence in English cities.
Earlier this week, Ukraine banned the app on state-issued devices in a bid to minimise threats posed by Russia.
The arrest of the 39-year old chief executive has sparked debate about the future of free-speech protections on the internet.
After Mr Durov's detention, many people began to question whether Telegram was actually a safe place for political dissidents, according to John Scott-Railton, senior researcher at the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab.
He says this latest policy change is already being greeted with even more alarm in many communities.
"Telegram’s marketing as a platform that would resist government demands attracted people that wanted to feel safe sharing their political views in places like Russia, Belarus, and the Middle East," Mr Scott-Railton said.
"Many are now scrutinizing Telegram's announcement with a basic question in mind: does this mean the platform will start cooperating with authorities in repressive regimes?"
Telegram has not given much clarity on how the company will handle the demands from leaders of such regimes in the future, he added.
Cybersecurity experts say that while Telegram has removed some groups in the past, it has a far weaker system of moderating extremist and illegal content than competing social media companies and messenger apps.
Before the recent policy expansion, Telegram would only supply information on terror suspects, according to 404 Media.
On Monday Mr Durov said the app was now using “a dedicated team of moderators" who were leveraging artificial intelligence to conceal problematic content in search results.
But making that type of material harder to find likely won’t be enough to fulfill requirements under French or European law, according to Daphne Keller at Stanford University’s Center for Internet and Society.
“Anything that Telegram employees look at and can recognize with reasonable certainty is illegal, they should be removing entirely,” Ms Keller said.
In some countries, they also need to notify authorities about particular kinds of seriously illegal content such as child sexual abuse material, she added.
Ms Keller questioned whether the company's changes would be enough to satisfy authorities seeking information about targets of investigations, including who they are communicating with and the content of those messages.
"It sounds like a commitment that is likely less than what law enforcement wants," Ms Keller said.

BY DANIEL KIBRET
It is time to stop talking about the Middle East being on the brink of a much more serious war. After the devastating Israeli attack on what it said was the Hezbollah headquarters in Beirut it feels as if they’re tumbling over it.
It was a huge series of blasts, according to people who were in Beirut. A friend of mine in the city said it was the most powerful she had heard in any of Lebanon’s wars.
In the hours after the attack Israeli media reported that the Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was the target. Social media channels and TV stations were full of speculation about whether he had been in the building that was targeted and whether he had survived.
As rescue workers searched for survivors in the rubble, Hezbollah’s silence on the matter redoubled the speculation.It was not the end of Israeli air force’s bombing missions for the day. The Israeli military announced that it was continuing to attack Hezbollah targets.
Earlier in the day there were hopes, admittedly faint ones, that Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was at least prepared to discuss a proposal for a 21-day ceasefire. It came from the US and France and was backed by Israel’s most significant Western allies.
But in a typically defiant and at times aggressive speech to the UN General Assembly in New York, Netanyahu did not talk about diplomacy.
Israel, he said, had no choice but to fight savage enemies who sought its annihilation. Hezbollah would be defeated – and there would be total victory over Hamas in Gaza, which would ensure the return of Israeli hostages.
Far from being lambs led to the slaughter – a phrase sometimes used in Israel to refer to the Nazi Holocaust – Israel, he said, was winning.The huge attack in Beirut that occurred as he finished his speech was an even more emphatic sign that a truce in Lebanon was not on Israel’s agenda.
It seemed more than feasible that the attack was timed to follow up Mr Netanyahu’s threats that Israel could, and would, hit its enemies, wherever they were.
The Pentagon, the US defence department, said it had no advance warning from Israel about the raid.
A photo released by the prime minister’s office in Jerusalem showed him at a bank of communications equipment in what looked like his hotel in New York City. The image’s caption said it showed the moment that he authorised the raid.US Secretary of State Antony Blinken defended the policy he has worked on for months. He said there was still room for negotiation. That assertion is looking hollow.
The Americans have very few levers to use against any side. They cannot, by law, talk to Hezbollah and Hamas as they are classified as foreign terrorist organisations. With the US elections only weeks away, they are even less likely to put pressure on Israel than they have been in the last year.
Powerful voices in the Israeli government and military wanted to attack Hezbollah in the days after the Hamas attacks last October. They argued that they could deal their enemies in Lebanon a decisive blow. The Americans persuaded them not to do it, arguing that the trouble it might set off across the region offset any potential security benefit for Israel.
But in the course of the last year Netanyahu has made a habit of defying President Joe Biden’s wishes about the way Israel is fighting. Despite providing Israel with the aircraft and bombs used in the raid on Beirut, President Biden and team were spectators.
His policy for the last year, as a lifelong supporter of Israel, was to try to influence Netanyahu by showing solidarity and support, delivering weapons and diplomatic protection.
Biden believed that he could persuade Netanyahu not just to change the way Israel fights – the president has said repeatedly that it is imposing too much suffering and killing too many Palestinian civilians – but to accept an American plan for the day after that rested on creating an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel.
Netanyahu rejected the idea out of hand and has ignored Joe Biden’s advice.
After the attack on Beirut, Blinken repeated his view that a combination of deterrence and diplomacy had staved off a wider war in the Middle East. But as events spiral out of US control, he is not sounding convincing.
Big decisions lie ahead. First of all, with or without Nasrallah, Hezbollah is going to have to decide how to use its remaining arsenal. Do they use try to mount a much heavier attack on Israel? If they don’t use their remaining rockets and missiles in storage, they might decide Israel will get around to destroying even more of them.
The Israelis also face highly consequential decisions. They have already talked about a ground operation against Lebanon, and while they haven’t yet mobilised all the reserves they might need, an invasion is on their agenda. Some in Lebanon believe that in a ground war Hezbollah could negate some of Israel’s military strengths.
Western diplomats, among them Israel’s staunchest allies, were hoping to calm matters, urging Israel to accept a diplomatic solution. They will now be looking at events with dismay and also a sense of powerlessness.
At least 43 people have died and millions left without power on Friday as Hurricane Helene roared through the south-eastern US.
Officials continued daring rescues with boats, helicopters and large vehicles to help those stranded in floodwaters - including about 50 workers and patients who crowded on the roof of a flooded Tennessee hospital.
It was the most powerful storm on record to hit Florida's Big Bend and moved north into Georgia and the Carolinas after making landfall overnight on Thursday.
Insurers and financial institutions say damage caused by the storm could run into the billions of dollars.Roads and houses were submerged on Friday, with one family describing to BBC News how they had to swim out of their home to safety. Although Helene has weakened significantly, forecasters warn that high winds, flooding and the threat of tornadoes could continue.
Helene, which had been a category four storm, came ashore on Thursday night and remained a hurricane for six hours after it made landfall, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) said a storm surge - heightened water levels mostly caused by high winds blowing water towards shore - reached more than 15ft (4.5m) above ground level across parts of the Florida coast.
The NHC said the surge should subside before the weekend but the threat from high winds and flooding would persist, including possible landslides.
Up to 20in (50cm) of rain is still possible in places.
The hurricane is the 14th most powerful to hit the US since records began. At approximately 420 miles (675 km) wide, it is behind only two other hurricanes - Ida in 2017 and Opal in 1996, both of which were 460 miles wide.
Because of its sheer size, the impact of strong winds and heavy rain have been widespread across Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and the Carolinas.
At least eight people have died in Florida since Friday, including at least five people in the coastal Pinellas County, the county's sheriff, Bob Gualtieri said.
The county includes the city of St Petersburg on Florida's Gulf Coast.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said one person died after a road sign fell on their car and another when a tree fell on a home.
Hurricane Helene brings life-threatening conditions as it moves from Florida to GeorgiaAfter hitting Florida, the storm continued on a deadly path north into Georgia - leaving at least 15 dead - including a first responder, Governor Brian Kemp said.
A suspected tornado that spurred in Wheeler County, in central Georgia, left two people dead when the twister picked up and overturned a mobile home, authorities said.
Kemp ordered 1,000 National Guard troops to help with rescue efforts across the state. The Georgia governor said Friday that more than 150 roads have been closed, 1,300 traffic signals are out across the state and people are still trapped in buildings.
In South Carolina, at least 17 people were killed, according to CBS News, the BBC's US partner. Neighbouring North Carolina saw at least two fatalities in the storm, one due to a vehicle collision and another when a tree fell on a home in Charlotte, Governor Roy Cooper said.
The state also saw two confirmed tornadoes, which damaged 11 buildings and injured 15 people, the National Service said.
One person was also killed in Virginia, the state's governor, Glenn Youngkin, said at a news conference on Friday.
Across the southeast, more than three million homes and businesses were without power late Friday, according to tracking site poweroutage.us.
First responders have been tackling rescues, using helicopters, boats and large vehicles to help people stranded in flooded homes. In North Carolina alone, more than 100 rescues have taken place, Cooper said.
In Tennessee, 58 patients and staff were left stranded on the roof of a hospital in the city of Erwin on Friday. Swift-moving water from the Nolichucky River prevented boats from being able to conduct rescue operations, and high winds prevented helicopter rescue.
The group was later taken to safety after helicopters from the Tennessee National Guard and the Virginia State Police intervened.
In Pasco County, north of Tampa on Florida's Gulf coast, 65 people were rescued. Guests at a Ramada Inn in Manatee County were also rescued as floodwaters rushed into the hotel.
And in Suwannee County to the north, authorities reported "extreme destruction", with trees falling onto homes."My family and I all looked at one another," she said. "Then water just started pouring in."
Ms Gagnier said she grabbed her pets, her wallet and some portable chargers and swam out of their home with her family. The water was up to their shoulders.
“We also encourage all communities to please continue to listen to your local officials," FEMA Deputy Administrator Erik Hooks said on Friday.
"Just because the storm has passed where you are doesn't necessarily mean that you're safe to leave your home.”
Officials also reminded residents the effects of the storm are "not over yet" and urged residents to remain vigilant.
Hurricanes need sea surface temperatures of more than 27C (80F) to fuel them.
With exceptionally warm waters of the Gulf at 30-32C, the sea surface is about two degrees Celsius above normal for the time of year.
Florida's 220-mile Big Bend coast is where Hurricane Idalia made landfall in 2023. The area was also battered by Hurricane Debby last month.
There could be as many as 25 named storms in 2024, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) warned earlier this year.
Between eight and 13 of those storms could develop into hurricanes and a handful already have including Helene.
More storms could be on the horizon as the official end of hurricane season will not arrive until 30 November, officials warned.
US Vice-President Kamala Harris has made a rare trip to the US-Mexico border as she seeks to blunt Republican attacks on immigration.
Harris, who last visited the border in 2021, accused Donald Trump of being focused on "scapegoating instead of solutions" and "rhetoric instead of results".
Earlier on Friday, the Republican nominee argued Harris was "getting killed" on the issue and supports "the worst bill ever drawn" on border security.
Polls suggest more Americans trust Trump over Harris on handling the border and illegal immigration.Cochise County, a conservative stronghold in Arizona that became a hot spot for record-high border crossings last autumn, provided a backdrop for the Democratic nominee to inspect the border wall, speak with local officials and project a message of toughness.
She claimed Trump "did nothing to fix our broken immigration system" as president, adding that Republicans were trying to force a "false choice" between border security and a "safe, orderly and humane" immigration system.
"We can and must do both," she told supporters at a campaign event in Douglas.
Harris vowed to further toughen asylum laws enacted earlier this year by President Joe Biden and to revive a bipartisan border security measure Trump helped block.
But Jim Chilton, a local rancher, said he has "seen the evidence" of what Harris would do in power.
"I've watched her and President Biden," he told the BBC. "We've had an open border policy. We now are understanding what that really means.”
Every year, thousands of undocumented migrants walk through Mr Chilton's 50,000-acre ranch just south of Arivaca.
He has motion-activated cameras that show the procession of people, all dressed in near-identical camouflage, across his land. He is convinced drug dealers and gang members are among them.
Menacing signs threaten trespassers with death, but Mr Chilton has also installed drinking fountains so nobody dies making the hazardous journey.
Three corpses were found on his land last year.
A Trump supporter, Mr Chilton does not believe Harris will crack down on the flow of migrants.
“She's changing her mind just to get votes and lie to us. It's outrageous," he said.Concerns over stemming the influx are ever present in tiny border towns like Douglas.
Homeowners here can see through miles of border fencing into Mexico when they step out onto their front porches.
One woman said her neighbours built brick walls around their homes to keep migrants from hiding out in their backyards.
Even some Democrats here who are voting for Harris said they preferred Trump's border approach and felt safer during his tenure.
Last year, a handful of churches and the town's visitor centre transformed overnight into makeshift shelters to house newcomers.
Since then, the Biden administration has enacted tougher restrictions on seeking asylum and migrant crossings have plunged to four-year lows.
Gail Kochorek is a dedicated volunteer who drives down to the wall to hand out food and water to people on the Mexican side, usually waiting until after dark to cross back into the US.
To her, the political approach to immigration is increasingly dehumanising to people hoping to making a better life in her country.
She is disappointed to hear Harris promising to crack down on migrants but, given a choice between her and Trump, the Democrat can count on Ms Kochorek's vote.
Laughing at Trump's pledges to secure the border, she showed the BBC gaps in Trump's wall and where people could cut through the steel fencing.
The former president has vowed to seal the border by completing construction of the barrier, increasing enforcement and implementing the largest mass deportation of undocumented migrants in US history.
But earlier this year, he urged Republicans to ditch a hardline, cross-party border bill that was endorsed by Biden and Harris.
"That's the worst bill ever drawn. It's a waste of paper," Trump told supporters earlier on Friday at a rally in Walker, in the swing state of Michigan.
Denying that he lobbied congressional allies to tank the piece of legislation, Trump claimed Harris "want to see if she could salvage it and make up some lies".
"She went to the border today because she's getting killed on the border," he said.
In a statement following Harris's event, the Trump campaign characterised the visit as a "drop-in" and "photo op".
The border crisis has been a major vulnerability for Harris.
As vice-president, she has not directly shaped border policy but was put in charge of addressing the root causes of migration from the Northern Triangle countries of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras.
Her efforts targeted systemic issues like poverty, corruption, and violence, which for years have driven large numbers of people from these regions to make the treacherous journey to the United States.
It is too soon to tell if the two-part strategy - bolstering democratic institutions and coaxing business leaders to invest in the region - is working, but Harris has taken a lot of blame for upward trends in migration.
As a candidate, she has highlighted her experience as a prosecutor when she was attorney general of California, particularly in investigating transnational and cartel organisations, to emphasise her approach to tackling immigration-related challenges.
Her recent remarks have aligned closely with Biden's emphasis on border security and law enforcement, but also reflect how the politics of the issue have shifted notably to the right.
As she seeks to convince voters that she has a plan, her biggest challenge is finding an approach that balances the legal and humanitarian aspects of the immigration system.

4. ከኢትዮጵያ የወጡ፤ ኢትዮጵያም ከእነርሱ ልብ የወጣች
እነዚህ ደግሞ የሚኖሩትም ውጭ ነው፤ ኢትዮጵያም ከእነርሱ ወጥታለች፡፡ ምናልባትም መልካቸው ብቻ ካልሆነ በቀር አንዳችም ከሀገራቸው ጋር የሚያመሳስላቸው ነገር በዲኤን ኤ እንኳን ላይገኝ ይችላል፡፡ ለእነርሱ ኢትዮጵያ በምሥራቅ አፍሪካ የምትገኝ አንዲት ሀገር ናት፡፡ በቃ፡፡ ብትኖር ብትሞት ስሜት
አይሰጣቸውም፡፡ አይኖሩባትም፤ አትኖርባቸውም፡፡ «ብረሳሽ ቀኜ ትርሳኝ፣ ባላስብሽ ምላሴ ከትናጋዬ ትጣበቅ» የሚል ምሕላ የላቸውም፡፡ ኢትዮጵያን ከልባቸው ማውጣት ብቻ ሳይሆን ከልጆቻቸው ልብ አንዳትገባም አድርገዋታል፡፡
በዓለም ባሉ ቋንቋዎች ሁሉ ሁለት ቃላትን መተርጎም ከባድ ነው ይባላል፡፡ «ፍቅር እና ሀገር»፡፡ ልብ እንጂ ቃል አይተረጉማቸውምና፡፡
እኛስ ከየትኞቹ ወገን ነን?
Austrians vote on Sunday in a general election that could see the far-right opposition Freedom Party (FPÖ) top the polls for the first time.
Five years ago, the party crashed out of a coalition government with the conservative People’s Party because of a corruption scandal dubbed Ibiza-gate.
But now, led by Herbert Kickl, the FPÖ is within reach of a historic victory. It narrowly leads the ruling conservatives in the opinion polls, and the opposition Social Democrats are in third place.
Even if the Freedom Party manages to come first, no party is expected to win enough seats for an outright majority, and building a coalition is likely to be difficult.
The FPÖ has successfully tapped into concerns about migration, rising inflation, the war in Ukraine and anger over the way the Covid pandemic was handled, and for months has been hovering around 27% in the polls, up to two points ahead of the conservative Österreichische Volkspartei (ÖVP) or Austrian People's Party, which is predicting a photo finish.
“The chances have never been so great,” one of its campaign videos says. “As Volkskanzler (people's chancellor) Herbert Kickl will do everything to give you back your freedom, your security, your Wohlstand (prosperity) and your peace... Let’s build Fortress Austria!”
It then shows Kickl saying that he wants to be “your servant and your protector”.Kickl’s use of the term Volkskanzler, which was used to describe Adolf Hitler in the 1930s, has worried some Austrians.
For them it is an uncomfortable reminder of the FPÖ’s origins. It was founded by former Nazis in the 1950s. Protesters at the party's final election rally on Friday night waved banners reading "Nazis out of parliament".
Like other far-right European parties, the FPÖ combines tough rhetoric on immigration and Islam with promises to reduce what it regards as interference from Brussels in national affairs.
But Kickl has also aligned his party closely with Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban, the self-styled champion of "illiberal democracy" and expressed a more conciliatory tone when it comes to Russia.
The Freedom Party leader has called European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen a "warmonger" and opposes sanctions on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
Political analyst Thomas Hofer says Kickl’s rhetoric has always been “very harsh and divisive”, but he believes election victory would not necessarily clear the way to heading a coalition government.
“Of course it would be a totally new situation in the history of the Second Republic in Austria, because the Freedom Party came close a couple of times, but was never in first place, at least not on the general election level," he told the BBC.
The party stunned European politicians under leader Jörg Haider in 1999, coming second in elections and joined a conservative-led government. When it joined a coalition in 2018, Herbert Kickl was interior minister, until the party became engulfed in corruption revelations.
Now as leader the fiery Kickl has steered his party to what could be its best result yet.
"It would be a kind of shockwave for the other parties, but it doesn't mean if the FPÖ comes in first, that they also will get the position of chancellor. This is by no means clear,” Thomas Hofer said.
The FPÖ leader is widely disliked by other parties in Austria.
The conservative People’s Party, led by Austria’s current chancellor Karl Nehammer, has repeatedly excluded joining a Kickl-led government, although it has not ruled out an alliance with his party.Austria’s President, Alexander Van der Bellen, has also expressed his reluctance to see Kickl lead the country.
Other parties including the Social Democrats and Greens have also said they won’t form a government with the FPÖ.
"No coalition with the far right," the Greens' Climate Action Minister Leonore Gewessler told the BBC.
"We will not work in a coalition with the far right FPÖ, which denies climate change, which only works on dividing our society and spreading fear and conspiracy theories."Under Karl Nehammer, the conservatives have framed the vote as a choice between the incumbent chancellor or Kickl, seeking to attract centrist voters with slogans like “Vote Stability" and "Vote Centre”.
Nehammer has said it is “impossible to form a government with someone who adores conspiracy theories”.
Thomas Hofer highlights a lack of vision from both the conservatives and Social Democrats: "One big reason why [the FPÖ] could have this comeback is certainly the weakness of the others."
He says forming a coalition government could take months.
Although some 6.3 million Austrians aged 16 or over will be able to vote in Sunday's election, another 1.5 million long-term residents will not have the right, because of Austria’s highly restrictive citizenship laws.
Across the country that means almost one in five is excluded, whereas in Vienna the proportion is as high as one in three.
To highlight the issue, a charity organised an unofficial vote that attracted almost 20,000 people called Pass Egal Wahl – which translates as a passport-doesn't-matter election.
Elisabeth Scherzenlehner, who teaches refugees German, brought her class along to the campaign group's rally in Vienna.
“I think the FPÖ is a really strong negative voice, and I think there will be no mercy if they will come to rule Austria," she said.
