Toddler trapped in well for 27 hours
Issue date: 3/31/08 Section: Campus News
A toddler was rescued Wednesday, March 25, after being trapped inside a narrow well for 27 hours in the Indian capital of New Delhi.
The toddler fell 45 feet into the well while she was playing in a village near Agra, a northern Indian city located on the outskirts of New Delhi.
The child was taken to a hospital to be checked by doctors and is now doing well.
Family beaten to death
A family of five was found dead in their Iowa City home beaten to death.
The autopsy results show that Sheryl Sueppel and her four children died from blunt force trauma to their upper torsos and heads.
The Iowa City police believe Steven Sueppel, a former bank executive, indicted by a federal grand jury in February for money laundering, killed his wife and his four children sometime late Sunday night or Monday morning.
Investigators also believe Sueppel killed his wife first and then tried to kill himself and the children with carbon monoxide in the garage.
According to cbsnews.com, after calling police, Sueppel crashed his van into a concrete pillar on Interstate 80 a few miles east of his house, which caused the van to explode into flames as an intentional final act of suicide.
