Numbers: Patrick van Aanholt joins Thierry Henry in rare Fergie Time feat

Couple plunges to death while kissing on bridge

The moment was caught on CCTV.

A couple, Maybeth Espinoz and Hector Vidal, plunged to their deaths while they were kissing on a bridge in Peru.

The couple had been locked in an embrace, while on their way home from a nightclub.

The incident which occurred on Saturday, August 3, 2019, was caught on CCTV.

According to DailyMail, the couple plunged 50ft off a bridge called Bethlehem in Cusco.

Maybeth and Hector had stopped on the bridge to kiss after leaving a nearby nightclub around 1:00 a.m.

CCTV footage showed the couple leaning against a railing on the bridge, while hugging and kissing each other.

Maybeth, 34, proceeds to sit on top of the metal railing and wrap her legs around Hector, 36.

However, she appears to lose her balance and begins to fall backwards, taking Hector with her.

The couple tried to cling to the barrier but were unable to stop themselves from falling off the bridge.

Maybeth was killed outright, while Hector sustained a fractured skull and later died in hospital.

The couple were reportedly mountaineers who had moved to the Cusco region to work as tour guides.

Their bodies have since been transferred to Ancash in northern Peru.

Mrs Busola Dakolo, wife of Nigeria’s inspirational singer, Timi Dakolo, had accused the pastor of rape when she was 17 years.

The allegation necessitated the stepping down of Mr Biodun Fatoyinbo, as the Senior Pastor, Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) church.

However, the Convener of COPA, Mr Pelumi Olajengbesi in a statement on Monday, July 8, 2019 urged the Inspector General of Police to ensure the matter was not swept under the carpet and that the suspect should be tried in Lagos where the matter was reported.

Our demands are simply that the matter be allowed its due course within the jurisdiction where the complaint was filed.”

He called on the force to take quick steps on the matter that had already in the public glare without giving rooms for doubt in their ability.

He also called for the execution of a valid and active warrant of arrest against Fatoyimbo in order to restore the confidence of the ordinary Nigerians.
