Jihadist group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) have released shocking images of the mass execution of Iraqi soldiers via Twitter.

The photographs released on one of ISIL’s own Twitter feeds, show dozens of Shiite soldiers being forced to lie facedown in the dirt, with their hands tied behind their backs. ISIL announced earlier on Twitter, it had executed 1700 Shiite soldiers, but human rights groups have not yet been able to confirm their claim.

3. Couple convicted of killing severely disabled son, found dead.

A couple convicted of killing their severely disabled son in 2001 have both been found dead in their western Sydney home.

The bodies of Raymond and Margaret Sutton, both in their 70s,  were discovered around 11am on Saturday, after Ms Sutton’s brother alerted police when he was unable to contact her. The couple are thought to have died two weeks earlier.

In 2005, the Sutton’s pleaded guilty to manslaughter of their 29-year-old son Matthew, admitting to killing their son the day before he was due to have an operation that would have left him deaf and with no sense of taste. In 2007 they were convicted, and both given 5-year good behaviour bonds.

Police are investigating the deaths and forensically examining the home.

Parents are being urged to ensure their children are vaccinated against meningococcal disease, with rates of the infection peaking in the cooler months. The number of incidents of the disease rises to 26 cases per month on average from July through to September, almost doubling the number of cases in the warmer months.
