...Mongolian part-time model whose naked body was allegedly blown up by military-grade explosives.

Two government security agents whom the prosecution alleges carried out the killing of the 28-year-old Mongolian woman.

...Malaysia, a tidy Southeast Asian nation that is often held up as a model of a Muslim-majority democracy, doesn't usually play host to a murder trial that seems better suited to an episode of The Sopranos.

Officials said Benoit--the 2004 world heavyweight champ whose signature move was the "crippler crossface"-- strangled his wife, smothered his son, placed Bibles beside them, and hanged himself on the pulley of a weight-lifting machine in a rage that may have been steroid-induced...
...above, they're part bully, part stage mother, and part egomaniac, and inevitably, the singers under their strict control rebel against them. But Svengalis are going through a particularly rough patch these days. Phil Spector, one of the most renowned and controlling, is on trial for murder. Lou Pearlman, who helped concoct the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync by way of his boy-band factory in Florida, has been unceremoniously dragged back to the U.S. from Guam to face bank-fraud charges...
