A Flint Water Department employee was found dead under suspicious circumstances earlier this week.  Matthew McFarland, 43, was found dead at his home in Otter Lake, with police and the Flint Water Department refusing to give a reason for his death amid an ‘ongoing investigation’. Wnem.com reports: There were no signs of foul play in McFarland’s death, police said. Police have not released the cause of death. The Lapeer County Medical Examiner’s Office performed an autopsy, but the results did not show an immediate cause of death, police said.

Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik has won part of a human rights lawsuit against the government for “inhuman treatment.” Right-wing extremist Breivik massacred 77 people in Norway in 2011 and now enjoys a cushy life in prison with all the mod cons. He sued the government after his arrest for violation of his human rights. An Oslo court ruled in his favor on Wednesday on one of two claims, upholding his rights under the European Convention on Human Rights that prohibits degrading treatment of prisoners. His other alleged human rights violation claim was rejected.

Portuguese detective Goncalo Amaral, who accused the parents of Madeleine McCann of lying about the kidnapping of their daughter, has won his appeal against his court libel defeat to Kate and Jerry McCann. The former police chief had been ordered to pay Madeleine’s parents €500,000 in April last year after they successfully sued him for libel after he claimed they had faked their daughter’s abduction. However, a new 16-page judgement has overturned the original decision, saying that his claims that they faked their daughters abduction is not a lie.
