PHOTO/Timothy OlobuluNAIROBI, Kenya, Jan 15- New Ulinzi Stars head coach Dunstan Nyaudo has admitted the gaping holes left by Stephen Waruru and Samuel Onyango will be felt as the team prepares to get its shine back in the new season.Both players resigned from military duty, Waruru having completed nine years at the Nakuru based side while Onyango had been at Ulinzi since moving from Sony Sugar at the beginning of the 2016 season. While Waruru moved to Sofapaka FC, Onyango has joined Kenyan Premier League defending champions Gor Mahia.“Filling up those two gaps is not an easy task because they were first team players and performing really well. To be honest it will take a long time but ultimately, I know we can get some good replacements. We already have Masuta (Masita) who has shown promise,” Nyaudo told Capital Sport.The two players directly contributed to 23 goals of the 37 scored by the soldiers in 2017. Waruru was the club’s top scorer with 13 goals and one assist while Onyango scored six goals and provided three assists.It is not the first time that Ulinzi are losing a key player with their 2016 top scorer John Mark Makwatta leaving the club at the end of that season for a stint in Zambia.The soldiers however have managed to pick a few players from within the military ranks and Nyaudo believes they will get decent players to help them improve from their seventh spot finish from last season.Ulinzi Stars forward Sammy Onyango during a past Kenyan Premier League match.PHOTO/Timothy OlobuluNyaudo, a former Ulinzi Stars and Harambee Stars player was picked to replace Benjamin Nyangweso who was redeployed to other military duties.Nyangweso who led Ulinzi to their fourth league title back in 2010 picked up from Robert Matano at the beginning of last season, but a tough season saw them underperform despite finishing second in 2016. Nyaudo though says he is confident of doing better where his predecessor failed.“It is a tough challenge but in football, that is something that’s welcome every day. We have to work hard as a team and above all have positivity. So far in training we have done well and I look forward to our first game of the season,” the tactician said.The team has been humping up their pre-season at high altitude in Nanyuki and will be in Nairobi over the weekend for friendly matches against Tusker FC and league newcomers Wazito FC. They will also face Posta Rangers in Nakuru in midweek.Ulinzi kick off their season at home to Zoo Kericho on February 2.0Shares0000(Visited 1 times, 1 visits today)

“The fact that there was prior abuse would make it difficult to show that his intention was to kill her on this occasion as opposed to abusing her as he had in the past,” Podratz said. Podratz added that Romero’s defense attorney had earlier offered to have his client plead to second-degree murder as Romero was young and had no prior record. Sheriff’s deputies were sent to the couple’s Lancaster home in the 300 block of East Lingard Street the morning of June 19 after Gibbons called 911. The girl was taken to Antelope Valley Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Podratz had said previously that Gibbons told investigators that before making the 911 call, she had called a hospital to ask some questions, “presumably because of the condition her daughter was in.” The 911 call was placed at 8:37 a.m. on June 19, and Podratz said the hospital call was made sometime between then and the previous night. The beating was alleged to have occurred between June 18 and 19, Podratz said. Gibbons and Romero were arrested on June 19.

You’re all set! LANCASTER – A 21-year-old Lancaster man accused of beating to death his girlfriend’s 4-year-old daughter on Father’s Day weekend pleaded no contest Thursday to second-degree murder. Gerardo H. Romero faces 15 years to life in prison when he is sentenced in November in the death of little Jasmine Avalos. The girl’s mother, Raven Rayleen Gibbons, pleaded no contest to child endangerment and admitted an allegation that she permitted Jasmine to suffer injury that resulted in death. Gibbons will be sentenced to eight years in prison but that sentence will be suspended, and she will be ordered to serve a year in jail, of which she must serve 270 days, Deputy District Attorney Flora Podratz said.

Prosecutors were waiting to see if coroner and neuropathology reports would show evidence to support an allegation of murder by torture against Romero in Jasmine’s death. Such an allegation would have subjected Romero, if convicted of it, to life in prison without the possibility of parole or death. The reports contained no such evidence but did show evidence of prior abuse, Podratz said. 
LITITZ, Pa. – The relationship between 18-year-old David Ludwig and 14-year-old Kara Borden was a closely guarded secret. There was good reason to keep things quiet: Their four-year age difference displeased their parents. “They weren’t officially boyfriend and girlfriend because their parents didn’t approve of them being together,” said 16-year-old Stephanie Mannon, one of Kara’s neighbors. “Sometimes they would secretly get together.” The tensions in the Borden house apparently spilled over last Sunday, when police say Ludwig fatally shot Kara’s parents, Michael and Cathryn Borden, after an argument about their relationship, then fled with the girl. The two were found the following day after a chase and crash in Indiana. Ludwig is being held without bail on murder and kidnapping charges; Kara in the care of relatives and church members. There were indications, however, that there was tension between Kara and her parents. Zimmerman recalled a conversation several months ago in which Cathryn Borden expressed concern about her daughter’s interest in boys. “At one point, they had cut off her Internet service because of her connection with David,” Zimmerman said. A close friend of Ludwig’s, Samuel P. Lohr, told police he was “well aware” that the two “were involved in an ongoing secret intimate relationship of a sexual nature,” according to a search-warrant affidavit filed in court. The two often exchanged flirtatious messages and inappropriate images electronically, the affidavit said. 160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong.

On the Bordens’ street, white ribbons were affixed to mailboxes to honor the couple’s memory. Neighbors say the two teens met at a support group for home-schooled students. Kara’s sister, Katelyn, told police she met Ludwig in May and saw him regularly at the group. “They were good kids and they were brought up very well. What I see is, they just made some bad choices,” said Vera Zimmerman, 50, who has known the Bordens for seven years and is acquainted with Ludwig’s mother. Kara has been described by neighbors and friends as a bubbly, outgoing girl who occasionally baby-sat younger children in her neighborhood and liked to play soccer. She regularly attended youth group meetings and got along well with her sister, said Kevin Eshleman, executive pastor of Ephrata Community Church. “In my mind, that generally indicates that things are going OK at home,” Eshleman said.
