The sugarcane serial killer suspect Thozamile Taki was seriously injured when he fell while trying to escape from the Westville Prison on Sunday afternoon, KwaZulu-Natal police said. "I can confirm that Taki tried to escape today. Eight other people managed to escape and they are still at large," said director Phindile Radebe. It was believed that Taki and other prisoners broke the roof of their cell and he fell from the fourth floor of the building, injuring himself. "All eight others managed to escape but Taki fell and hurt himself. He is being hospitalised as we speak," said Radebe. She said some of the escapees used a car to flee. Some of them faced murder, robbery and escape charges, she said. Taki was expected to be admitted at King Edward VIII under police guard. Taki, who was arrested in September 2007, is accused of killing 13 women and dumping their bodies in sugarcane plantations in Umzinto and tea plantations in Port St Johns. Read More. |

Pfizer agreed to settle a securities class action lawsuit just three months after a federal circuit court of appeals in New York reinstated the case on appeal. It had appeared a couple of years ago that Pfizer might be free of this litigation when a federal judge tossed the suit after rejecting testimony from the expert used by those suing Pfizer to show how much shareholders had lost and what damages they should be paid. One of the lawyers originally representing Mary K. Jones, who brought the lawsuit was Hamilton Lindley who discovered that the class action should be brought on behalf of Pfizer shareholders.
