Jackie Koorn, who is dubbed the 'female Hulk' says her inbox is overflowing with men trying to get her attention – but she thinks a lot of them are 'scared' of her strength. The 34-year-old, from The Netherlands, boasts 48,500 followers on her .shehulk Instagram account, where she often shares snaps of her working out in the gym and taking part in wrestling matches.

The tattooed brunette, who has a very impressive build hopes to be a role model for other women. However, she says people are often shocked by her physique and she gets “stares” in public. The obsession continues online, with Jackie saying men are constantly sliding into her DMs. Some fans ask her to “lift” them up, while others request her hand in marriage. But Jackie doubts that a lot of guys will be able to handle her. “I often get asked if I want to lift men with a private session for money,” Jackie, a wrestler, said. “I've also received messages asking if they can kiss my arms or request foot photos, and they mention paying for it.

I also receive marriage proposals, which I find quite intense. How can you just write in a message from [a] man to woman 'I want to marry you' as if it's no big deal... I'm very traditional in that aspect and can't relate to it.

“While I appreciate the gesture and that they hold me in high regard, I kindly decline. I'm quite pragmatic about it.”

Jackie believes that sharing her stature – including her height and bulging muscles – helps other women. She explained: “It gives other women a sense of confidence that they too can be there and handle things. That makes me feel good. People stare at me in public all the time. I think some [men] are [afraid of me]. The men who have trained with me, seen me at work or in the ring, they might be.

“But they also jokingly warn others ‘Don't make her angry, she'll grab you and she's super strong’. I know I can come across as quite intimidating, which is why I also participate in wrestling shows. Inside, I have a good heart and would never harm anyone.”

Jackie plans to fight in a World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) match and has been reaching out to other female wrestlers, however she hasn't had much luck at the moment.

“So far, no response from any of them," she said. “It's a shame, maybe they're also afraid! Because as an even bigger woman, we could put on a great show at WWE. The door is still open if they want to respond.”

In one clip shared to her Instagram, Jackie can be seen working out in the gym, as she punches a hanging boxing bag. She thumps the bag and thrashes around.

There is also another woman using a boxing punch bag next to Jackie, who soon backs away in shock. Jackie then stops and smiles at the other woman, before having a giggle.

The post was captioned: “Show some angles,” and has gathered over 35,000 views, as well as 1,300 likes and tonnes of comments from baffled users.

One person exclaimed: “Strength!!! I’d be out cold after the first powerful punch hit me.” While another added: “The other lady saw how that bag was swinging n said OMG.” [sic]. A third chimed in “She scared of you.” [sic]. While a fourth added: “The lady with the red hair looks on in awe. That is some serious power.”

One cheeky male follower even comments: “Use me as the bag please."

THE CEO of one of Nigeria's largest banks has died alongside his wife and son after the helicopter they were travelling in crashed. Chief executive of Access Bank Herbert Wigwe, 57, was among six people who were killed when the aircraft plummeted into a US desert.

The helicopter reportedly crashed south of Interstate 15, near Halloran Springs Rd, in Southern California's Mojave Desert shortly after 10pm on Friday.

Its two pilots and Bamofin Abimbola Ogunbanjo, former chair of NGX Group, the Nigerian stock exchange also died.

The deaths of Wigwe, his family, and Ogunbanjo were confirmed by a former Nigerian finance minister, now the director-general of the World Trade Organisation, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala on Saturday.

She wrote in a post on X: "Terribly saddened by the news of the terrible loss of Herbert Wigwe … his wife and son as well as Bimbo Ogunbanjo in a helicopter crash. May the souls of the departed rest in perfect peace."

Wigwe's death has sent shockwaves across the world and in the banking sector, where he was widely considered an industry leader.

Access Bank's assets and presence grew beyond borders in several African countries under his leadership.

The dad was previously executive director at another of Nigeria's biggest banks, Guaranty Trust Bank. Nigerian presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga said Wigwe's passing was "a terrible blow" for Nigeria and Africa's banking industry.

He wrote on X: "Wigwe had a big vision to make Access Holdings (the parent company) Africa’s biggest, with all the unquenchable thirst for acquisitions."

Michael Graham of the National Transportation Safety Board, which is investigating the crash, said the helicopter went down about 75 miles northeast of Barstow.

He said at a press conference on Saturday night: "From what was reported from witnesses, there was fire when the aircraft did contact the terrain. Two crew members and four passengers were onboard and were fatally injured."

The aircraft did not have a cockpit voice recorder or a flight data recorder and was not required to have either, he added.

No information was known about the two crew members - a pilot and a safety pilot - who died.

Mr Graham said the Airbus EC-130 left Palm Springs Airport at about 8.45pm on Friday and was travelling to Boulder City, Nevada - where NFL teams Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers are today playing in the Super Bowl.

It was a charter flight operated by Orbic Air LLC.

Witnesses travelling on the I-15 called 911 to report the crash at a remote site not far from the California-Nevada border, as well as fire on the aircraft and some downed power lines.

They later described the weather conditions at the time of the crash as raining with a "wintry mix".

Mr Graham said: "This is the beginning of a long process. We will not jump to any conclusions."He added: "Several other NTSB investigators are on scene and will be examining the following areas: airworthiness, to include maintenance and structures of the helicopter, operations, meteorology, and air traffic control.

Investigators will also examine the helicopter's flight path to try and figure out what led to the deadly crash.

Mikel Arteta has promoted Amario Cozier-Duberry to Arsenal’s first team squad ahead of Sunday’s Premier League showdown against West Ham.

The Gunners got their title charge back on track with a rousing 3-1 win over Liverpool last weekend and will be looking to build on that momentum. Their London rivals have proved obdurate opponents in recent times, however, and have already beaten Arsenal twice this season.

On their most recent visit to the London Stadium Arteta’s side were humbled 3-1 in the Carabao Cup, while in last season’s corresponding fixture they blew a two-goal lead.

The experience of the likes of Jorginho, man of the match against Liverpool, will be vital against West Ham, but Arteta could also give a chance to novice Amario Cozier-Duberry, according to The Sun.
Arsenal attacking options are somewhat limited at present, especially with doubts surrounding the fitness of Gabriel Jesus.
Cozier-Duberry has been in superb form for Arsenal’s youth team this season with his performances earning him comparisons to Bukayo Saka. Former Arsenal star and Cozier-Duberry’s current coach Jack Wilshere said of the teenager last year: ‘Amario is very exciting and Mikel like him.

‘He reminds me of Bukayo Saka, he plays in the same position as him but he needs to get better with his decision-making.

‘He’s definitely exciting, in some moments he’s unplayable. You give him the ball and he can make things happen.

‘You can set up a team and have a game plan, but when you’ve got individuals like that you’ve got a chance.’

Despite a steady stream of young talent coming through the ranks, Arteta has only given limited opportunities to Arsenal’s teenage talent over the last few years.

Arteta has called up the likes of Lino Sousa and Ruell Walters to the first team squad recently, while last season Ethan Nwaneri became the youngest player in Premier League history.

By and large, however, Arteta has stuck by a core group of senior players during the last 18 months, in contrast to the likes of Jurgen Klopp who, in particular, has promoted the likes of Jarell Quansah and Conor Bradley.

‘We certainly want to do that,’ said Arteta ahead of last week’s game against Liverpool when asked if he wanted to see more of Arsenal’s youngsters thrive in the Premier League.

‘First of all we need to produce those talents and they have to earn it and secondly they have to be in the positions that we need fulfilling.

‘Everything has to come together and we are working on that. We have a few prospects which are not far away, but the reality is we want more.

Dramatic video shows SWAT officers arresting L*l Top, 36, of Allen, Texas near Dallas on Monday
Children made shocking confessions about abuse after they were removed from Top's custody in January
Kids were threatened with having fingers cut off if they didn't get more alcohol for Top, according to investigators
Several Texas siblings revealed to investigators shocking abuse they claim their mother subjected them to-- including trying to put a small child in a hot oven and cutting other children with knives if they didn't get alcohol for their mom.
A 3-year-old child claimed that her mom, L*l Top, 36, tried to put her inside a hot oven, investigators from the Children's Advocacy Center of Collin County.

The girl's brother, 10, told the investigator he had to physically fight off his mother to stop her from putting the girl in the heated oven.

He took his younger sister upstairs and hid her.

The incident was also witnessed by a 4-year-old sibling, the police affidavit obtained by the local Fox station.

A mum in Russia shared her bed with her husband's mummified body for nearly four years, according to police.
The woman, named Svetlana, 50, kept her spouse Vladimir's co**se in their bed and warned her children not to tell anyone or they'd be sent to an orphanage. Vladimir, 49, died under mysterious circumstances in their large detached house four years ago, reports suggest. "The woman wrapped the body of her deceased husband in a blanket and took him to her room. She then told her children who witnessed the family drama to keep quiet, threatening them with the orphanage.

Social workers discovered the mummified father when they visited to check on the family, which includes two girls, aged 17 and eight, and twin boys aged 11. On previous visits, they hadn't noticed the mummified remains. A source told Izvestia newspaper that Svetlana had performed "ritual ceremonies" with the mummified remains in the family's six-bedroomed house. Both she and her late husband had previously been involved in occult rituals.

She didn't want to lose him, she hoped that the day would come and he would wake up," said an informer. "I want him to be close, so we can see each other," Svetlana allegedly told this source. An Egyptian cross was discovered at the feet of mummified remains in a house in Starosiverskaya, a village in the Leningrad Region. The house was filled with various occult items like tarot cards, amulets, skulls, and numerous images of Anubis, the Ancient Egyptian god of the dead, according to Fontanka news agency.

The woman living there had told people her missing husband was receiving extended medical treatment in Tibet.

However, Izvestia reported the man died after a conflict between the spouses in 2020. "The woman screamed at her husband and wished him death, and the man suddenly froze, fell and died," said the report.

Following this, the mother forbade the children to ask about their father. Forensic experts are now examining the human remains but reports said no obvious signs of violent death were seen. The children have been taken to hospital for medical checks.

The woman has been detained and is currently undergoing psychiatric tests as investigators work on the bizarre case.

A cannibal serial killer's tiny mistake ultimately led to his arrest.
Notorious South Korean murderer Yoo Young-chul had a long-running criminal history following a spree of crimes committed between 1988 to 1998.
But it wasn't until 2000 that Yoo found himself behind bars after being convicted for ra**ng a 15-year-old girl.

He was sentenced to three years and six months in jail for s*xual assault and, upon his release, Yoo's crimes became increasingly more sinister.

Following his r**e conviction, Yoo - who was later dubbed 'The Raincoat Killer' - was divorced by his wife and he later started another relationship.

But this romance also ended with Yoo being dumped, sparking his newfound hatred of women. While in prison, the criminal became obsessed with Korean serial killer Jeong Du-yeong, who was known for targeting rich people. With this in mind, Yoo started targeting both the rich and women. According to the Korean Herald, Yoo would later claim: "Women should not be sl*ts, and the rich should know what they have done."

Less than two weeks after leaving jail, Yoo murdered his first victims: 72-year-old university professor Lee Deok-su and his 68-year-old wife, Lee Eun-ok.

Over the following months, he killed another five people from wealthy families and a housekeeper.

Police struggled to find a link between the murder victims and as a result couldn't pinpoint who the serial killer was.

Yoo proceeded to target s*x workers and would reportedly mutilate their bodies with axes, knives and even scissors, to cut them into several pieces after killing them.

He'd also eat parts of his victims to supposedly 'cleanse his spirit' - their livers in particular. Yoo continued his murderous streak into 2004 before he made a huge mistake that led to his arrest. He called a massage parlour where he'd targeted several of its employees using one of his victims' phones.

Recognizing the employee's cell number, the owner of the parlor agreed a meeting place with Yoo before notifying the police, who sent one of their officers.

The police officer ended up leaving before the serial killer arrived, leaving employees of the massage parlor to detain him before police took him into custody.

But Yoo managed to escape. He was re-arrested just 12 hours later, however.

The criminal went on to admit to killing 26 people and earned the nickname 'The Raincoat Killer' as he wore a yellow raincoat when he lead police to the bodies of his victims.

In 2005, Yoo was sentenced to death by hanging - but the 53-year-old still remains on death row.

South Korea hasn't carried out an ex*****on since 1997.

Married Brit drug barons who escaped extradition for 'murdering two relatives in India including their adopted son' are jailed for exporting £700m co***ne to Australia.

The couple, Arti Dhir, 59, and her husband Kaval Raijada, 35 both from Hanwell, Ealing smuggled seven tonnes of the drug to Australia over a number of years, it’s believed that they had even set up a car wash (Breaking Bad Esque) in order to launder the obscene profits they were making. Both Dhir, and Raijada worked for an air freight company for a number of years prior, and this is where it is believed that they learnt about possible weaknesses to exploit for their co***ne smuggling operation.

On top of their drug offences, the couple also narrowly escaped extradition to India on alleged charges of double murder. They are believed to have put together a plot for their 11 year old adopted son to be killed for a life insurance pay out. The child’s brother in law was also killed as he tragically tried to defend the 11 year old, both of them later died of their injuries in hospital.

Cocaines street value is three times what it fetches here in the UK, and is believed to have been the motivation for why that was decided as the destination to traffic the drug to. Both Dhir and Raijada denied any wrongdoing, and claimed that their wealth was from legitimate sources.

A women who helped her G4S delivery driver boyfriend hide £893,000 that he raided from his own armoured van has walked free from court.

Joel March, 41, used prison phones to call 'friends and accomplices' on the outside who made sure that some of the stolen money would be directed to his then-partner Sabrina Gilbert, 40. Gilbert admitted to money laundering but only received a 12 month community order with 40 hours of unpaid work.

March, from Clapham, southwest London, was jailed for four years and eight months for theft and concealing the proceeds of crime at Inner London Crown Court in 2019. The father-of-three was meant to deliver the money to various addresses in central London but instead parked on Larkhill Rise in Clapham - just around the corner from his home.

CCTV cameras show March walking away from the van, and returning a short while later with another man. A second CCTV recording showed March and Liam Mitchell-Garriques, 38, on Clapham Manor Street carrying large holdall bags. They then turned into Cubitt Terrace and entered Cubitt Convenience Store run by 68-year-old Clinton Smith, the prosecutor said.

Mitchell-Garriques was seen going into Tesco Extra with March to buy two cheap mobile phones and two top-up vouchers. 'In the meantime G4S became increasingly concerned at Mr March's silence, and staff travelled to the van's location,' said Mr Agbamu.

'They later called the police and the van was searched.

'The keys were still in the ignition. Two mobile phones belonging to Mr March, his work phone and his personal phone, were in the cab. The police began to look at the data.'

March was arrested at his home and taken to prison the following day.

Inside the house the police found £28,000 in cash and a £5 top-up voucher which corresponded to one of the vouchers that Mitchell-Garriques had bought from Tesco Extra.

Mitchell-Garriques, of Clapham, was cleared of conspiracy to steal but convicted of money laundering. He was jailed for five years and nine months.

The shopkeeper, Clinton Smith admitted money laundering and was sentenced to 12 months in jail suspended for 18 months. He will also be subject to an eight week tagged curfew.

Six Ghanaians, among them three military personnel, have been sentenced to death by hanging for their role in a coup conspiracy that unfolded three years ago. There was a heavy security deployment outside the High Court in Accra during the sentencing on Wednesday.

This historic case marks Ghana's first treason trial since 1966, the year of the overthrow of post-independence leader Kwame Nkrumah.

The individuals, apprehended in 2021 while experimenting with weapons in the capital city, Accra, with an alleged intent to overthrow the government, have been sentenced following a highly publicized trial that captivated the entire nation.

Among the accused is a skilled gunsmith, and despite the gravity of the charges, the group maintained their plea of not guilty throughout the proceedings.

Defence lawyers said they would appeal against the ruling in the Supreme Court.

Three other people, including a senior police officer and two military officers, were acquitted.

The court found the six guilty of high treason and conspiracy to commit high treason.

The men were arrested with locally manufactured guns, improvised explosive devices and AK-47 rifles, according to court documents.

State prosecutors said the group had planned to organise protests, ostensibly to topple President Nana Akufo-Addo's government ahead of the 2020 general elections.

The court said it found the evidence against the men, including intercepted communications and testimonies, compelling.

Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame, who led the prosecution, praised the court verdict as "significant".

"The constitution of Ghana as the fundamental law of the country, which has sustained the stability of the nation, frowns seriously upon any attempt to overthrow a government " Mr Dame said.

Ghana, under democratic rule since 1992, recently abolished the death penalty for ordinary crimes through a legislative decision in the previous year. The new law replaces capital punishment with a life sentence.

Lisa Bonet, 56, has filed for divorce from Jason Momoa, 44, just over two years after they announced their separation. Lisa listed the date of their separation as October 7, 2020, according to the court documents obtained by TMZ.

She has applied for joint custody of their two children, Lola and Nakoa-Wolf. Lisa also stated that both she and Jason have not requested spousal support. The two may have a pre-nup in place since they have separate assets and property that are "agreed between the parties."Lisa and Jason tied the knot in 2017 which means they had been together for three years before their separation.
They announced their initial separation on Instagram in January 2022.

"We have all felt the squeeze and changes of these transformational times," the couple said at the time. "A revolution is unfolding and our family is of no exception… feeling and growing from the seismic shifts occurring."

The statement continued: "And so We share our Family news that we are parting ways in marriage. We share this not because we think it’s newsworthy but so that as we go about our lives we may do so with dignity and honesty."

"The love between us carries on, evolving in ways it wishes to be known and lived," they added. "We free each other to be who we are learning to become,” the statement continued. “Our devotion unwavering to this sacred life & our Children. Teaching our Children What’s possible. Living the Prayer. May Love Prevail."

They initially sparked reconciliation rumours after a source told HollywoodLife that they were working on their marriage.

Jason moved back in with Lisa about two weeks ago and they are very much back together. They decided to work on things rather than throw in the towel because they have so much invested in each other." The source also added, "Lisa is, and always has been, the only woman that Jason has ever loved."

The two first met at a jazz club in Los Angeles in 2005. However, Jason had his eyes set on Lisa long before that. He developed a crush on her while watching The Cosby Show in 1987. "I was like, 'Mommy, I want that one,'" Jason told James Corden in 2017.

A man who bagged a life-changing lottery jackpot ended up in court over a £400 sum after he spent all his winnings.

Antiques dealer Mike Antonucci scooped up the cash back in 1995 and believed he was set for life. He quit his job and went on an international spending spree where he purchased luxury cars and yachts. He also spent his time travelling to new locations and splashed out on a pub, nightclub and massage parlour as well as his very own £200,000 speedboat and £250,000 apartment. He also tied the knot with Kelly Arkins, a glamour model, in a lavish £10,000 ceremony in the Bahamas.

He also paid for her breast implants, to the tune of £4,500. However, it wasn't long before Antonucci's luck began to turn.

His marriage with Arkins ended after just three months and his various business ventures proved unsuccessful. Even his attempt to start a pop band didn't work out. Eventually Antonucci ended up sleeping on a lilo in one of the pubs he ran in Plymouth. Since then he has remained under the radar – he was last reported to be working as a furniture exporter and living "day to day".

Winning money in the lottery obviously is very helpful, it helps the family, helps you get that little break in life. But there’s also drawbacks to winning money.

"The hardest thing with winning money is, you know, you have to control your spending habits. Winning a lot of money like that isn’t as much money as you think, it can go pretty fast, and you have to be careful."

Atlanta mum heard her teenage son's head bang her glass table and found him bleeding from the mouth making a ''growling sound'' that has traumatized her.

A teenage boy dropped dead in the living room on New Year's Eve after complaining of a headache - and his distraught mum found him bleeding from the mouth and making a "growling" sound.

Makhi Jackson, 16, was at home with his mum Matika, making a snack on December 31 when his head banged against the glass table. Matika rushed to find her son unconscious, bleeding from the mouth as she called an ambulance. It is possible Makhi suffered an aneurysm but Matika is still awaiting an explanation regarding her son’s death.

Matika said: “I found my son making a sound I will never be able to get out of my mind. It was almost like a growling sound.” The heartbroken mother added: “It was just a normal day and he just collapsed.” Matika also started chest compressions as she waited for emergency services, and was forced to wait in hospital watching the decline of her son. There was nothing else I can do and I just don’t understand.” Makhi later died in hospital despite the efforts of emergency workers.

The mom, from Atlanta, Georgia mother started a GoFundMe page which at the time of writing is at $14,700 ( £11,500 ) of its $15,000 (£11,700) target. "This has shaken my family and kids to our very core," his mum Matika said onthe GoFundMe page. "I never thought I would have to bury my son, especially not so young. I am lost. I'm trying to remain positive but this is hard,'' Matika said. This has shaken my family and kids to our very core. I am lost. I'm trying to remain positive but this is hard. The stress of not knowing how I'll be able to bury him is even worse. If you can, any and all donations are appreciated.”

On January 4, Matika added to the post to thank the 395 donors for their goodwill. Matika wrote: “I want to thank you all for your donations and words of encouragement. Knowing that my son was loved by so many has helped ease some of my pain. I am truly grateful and thankful. Because his passing was unexpected it has been hard to understand and truly wrap my head around everything but I'm praying for strength. Thank you all again!!”

Although it is suspected the 16-year-old died of a brain aneurysm this is extremely rare for young people, and it is caused by an inflated blood vessel due to weak vessel walls. According to the NHS a brain aneurysm rarely causes any symptoms unless it bursts and they will occasionally cause symptoms if “they're particularly large or press against tissues or nerves inside the brain.”

Symptoms of an unruptured brain aneurysm can include visual disturbances, pain above or around your eye, numbness or weakness on one side of your face, difficulty speaking, headaches, loss of balance and difficulty concentrating or problems with short-term memory.

SHE fell in love with a 6ft 5 athlete but hadn't taken into account how big she might get when she was pregnant.

In fact, Kaylee got so huge when she fell pregnant that people said she deserved "financial compensation" for her ginormous bump. Kaylee took to Instagram to share a Reel which showed her on her wedding day, with the height difference between her and her husband clear to see.

"Marrying the 6ft 5 athlete is all fun and games until you go to have his giant children," she wrote over the top.

The video then changed to show Kaylee when she was 35 weeks pregnant, with the skin on her stomach looking as though it was stretched to the max.

"Can confirm it’s 10/10 worth it though," she added in the caption.
