OMG Teegs- you didn't hang out with his guy did you? :shocked::naughty:

 

Fron ninemsn news:

 

The extradition of a suspected killer has been thrown into disarray after a violent clash with US marshals on board a plane at Sydney airport.

 

Lawrence Rivera, 35, is wanted in California for the strangulation murder of 26-year-old mother-of-one, Kristina Garcia.

 

Rivera allegedly killed his work colleague in 2002 after she refused him a second date, dumping her body in the Mojave Desert.

 

 

 

 

He allegedly fled to England, Germany and Holland before NSW homicide detectives tracked him to Orange in the state's central west a few months later.

 

For five years, Rivera fought his extradition in the courts, only to be ordered home earlier this month.

 

Sydney detectives yesterday handed him over to a team of US marshals and officers from the San Bernardino Sheriff's department and he was escorted on to a United Airlines flight to Los Angeles.

 

But once on board, he began lashing out and kicking at officers, threatening to kill them.

 

Lieutenant Gerrit Tesselaar has been on Rivera's trail ever since he found Ms Garcia's body in the Californian desert.

 

"He's gonna go back and face the music in America and there's no doubt in my mind he'll be in prison for the rest of his life," he said.

 

"This was an innocent woman who did not deserve to die this way.

 

"The look on his face was 'how in the world did you find me?'

 

"Had he not been found here he probably would have killed again."

 

Rivera, who's also a "person of interest" in the strangulation murder of a three-year-old child in Germany, was taken off the plane and placed back into Australian custody.

 

He'll remain in a local jail for at least a fortnight as the US marshal service prepares to send a Lear jet full of tactical officers to Sydney to collect him.

 

For the full story and exclusive footage, watch National Nine News in Sydney from 6pm tonight.

I braved the stores this morning- it was too bad actually- Kmart was pretty quite- I think everyone is busy food shopping now.

 

This afternoon I am trying to do as little as possible and get into holiday mode!

 

I, too, braved the stores this morning, and it wasna as bad as I feared... surprisingly.

 

I went looking for more Cons, but the only ones they had in the store were fugly. :thumbdown:

 

So instead, I wasted my money in Diva. :blush-anim-cl:
