1. A 22-year-old streamed her own death on Facebook Live in horrific car accident.
When Nikol Barabasova started a Facebook Live stream while driving with a friend, she had no idea she would be broadcasting her last moments.
The 22-year-old began recording from the passenger seat of a car, when the vehicle hit a guardrail at high speed, The Sun reports.
The car the two women were travelling in, a Volkswagen, is believed to have been travelling around 120km/h at the time of the accident.
Just moments before the crash, the duo had been giggling and singing songs. Tragically, Nikol’s phone continued filming after the incident.
The live-stream continued, capturing the sound of the windscreen wipers which had been turned on during the accident, and other drivers rushing to help, until a member of the emergency services stops the video.
Police say Nikol died at the scene.
It’s believed Nikol’s friend, who was driving at the time, is still in hospital with a serious head injury.
Police are investigating the cause of the accident.
2. Man charged over the execution-style murder of a 15-year-old Sydney teenager asleep in his bed.
A man is due to appear in court charged with the April murder of a Sydney teenager, who suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head while he was asleep.
Brayden Dillon, 15, was shot in the head as he slept in his family’s Glenfield home after a gunman smashed his way in through the front door early on Good Friday, AAP reports.
It’s believed Brayden, who died in The Children’s Hospital in Westmead hours after he was shot, may have been killed in retaliation for his brother’s alleged involvement in a brawl and fatal stabbing at Panania in June 2016.
On Monday police released CCTV images of a car they wanted to identify, after having sifted through hours of footage tracking the movements of people close by to the shooting.
Shortly before midnight on Monday, a 26-year-old man was arrested in Seven Hills, and was later charged with murder.
He was refused bail and will appear in Blacktown Local Court on Tuesday.
3. Malcolm Turnbull fights back tears while visiting site of London Bridge attack.
Malcolm Turnbull and Theresa May have met Australian ambulance officers and British police who responded to last month’s terror attack in London.
The prime ministers visited Borough Market on Monday, with Mr Turnbull on behalf of Australians thanking the “very brave” police officers who tried to save people, including two young Australian women, who died that night.
The leaders, who have known each other since their Oxford University days, walked through the market, talking to stall holders about the devastating event.
One stall holder booed Ms May as she walked past, saying “they don’t care about us”.
But others were more positive, relating their stories of how terrified people reacted.
As they stood just near where the terrorists were shot dead, some of the vendors described how terrified people reacted.
Mr Turnbull later told Ms May before heading into a Downing Street meeting it was “hard not to burst into tears” as police officers recounted what happened.
“They were very brave men, very brave men and women and I just want to thank them on behalf of all Australians,” he said..
The Borough Market only recently reopened after the June 3 attack, in which eight people were killed and almost 50 wounded.
South Australian nurse Kirsty Boden and Queenslander Sara Zelenak were among the dead.
4. Woman charged over a crash that killed a NSW mother and her 7-year-old son on the school run.
A woman has been charged over a head-on crash in which a mother and her seven-year-old son were killed on the Hume Highway south of Sydney earlier this year, AAP reports.
In March, a 49-year-old Julie Bullock was killed in a two-car smash at Pheasants Head which also left her son, Hudson, dead and her his twin sister Sienna recovering from serious injuries in hospital, NSW police said in a statement on Monday.
The crash occurred after a car allegedly crossed onto the wrong side of the Hume Highway, colliding with Julie’s car while she was on her morning school run.
The female driver of the other vehicle, also 49, was charged with multiple driving offences, including dangerous driving occasioning death and is due to face Picton Local Court on September 5.
5. Day release considered for dad detained for life for killing his three-year-old son.
A Perth man detained for life for killing his three-year-old son and dumping the body down a mine shaft in outback South Australia may be allowed into the community on supervised outings, AAP reports.
Aliya Zilic was found not guilty because of mental incompetence of the murder of his son Imran Zilic in April, 2008.
His case came before the Supreme Court on Monday over a proposal to allow him to go on up to 24 excursions under the supervision of two corrections officers.
The court was told that doctors treating Zilic wished for him to have the opportunity to show that he could return to the community.
A new supervision order proposed up to 24 outings with two guards and then another 24 with one staff.
However, Justice David Lovell said he wanted more details from the supervising psychiatrist on the nature and frequency of the outings and on what structures would be put in place to deal with any potential breach of the release conditions.
The case will return to court on July 31.
Zilic was detained in 2010 after Justice Margaret Nyland ruled that he was suffering mental impairment at the time he cut his son’s throat.
The Supreme Court previously heard he had taken the boy from Perth and had embarked on a “bizarre odyssey” through Australia’s outback.
Zilic’s psychosis “obliterated any sense of what he had done and what he was doing”, his lawyer Bronwen Waldron said.
After the killing, Zilic returned to a Coober Pedy dugout where he had been staying with his son.
He then drove throughout the Northern Territory and into Western Australia, and when arrested by police, denied involvement in the murder because he believed them to be the devil.
6. A teen woke up to a “crunching” noise with his head in a bear’s mouth, managed to escape unscathed.
A 19-year-old Colorado camp staffer was attacked and bit on the head as he slept outdoors near campers in Colorado over the weekend.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokeswoman Jennifer Churchill says the 19-year-old, named only as Dylan, woke up at around 4am Sunday to a “crunching sound” with his head inside the mouth of the bear, which was trying to pull him out of his sleeping bag.
“The crunching noise, I guess, was the teeth scraping against the skull as it dug in,” Dylan told Denver7 News.
“It grabbed me… and pulled me. Then it bit the back of my head and [dragged] me.”
Dylan said the bear pulled him by his head for around four metres before he was able to escape.
“When it was dragging me… it felt like it went forever,” he said.
The teen punched and hit the bear and other staffers at Glacier View Ranch 77km north-west of Denver yelled and swatted at the bear, which then ran away.
The staffer was treated briefly at a hospital, and needed staples for the wounds on his head.
Black bears aren’t usually aggressive but they recently attacked a woman in a popular hiking area in Idaho and killed two people in Alaska.
It’s believed the bear – a male, weighing over 120kg – has since been located and put down by wildlife officials.
