A 32-year-old man who lives in Ansonia, Connecticut set his car on fire after his girlfriend asked him to leave the house, police said.
The man used the clothes his girlfriend packed for him to set his 1999 Honda Accord on fire shortly after midnight, according to The Connecticut Post of Bridgeport.
Police in Hartford, Connecticut didn't read a 34-year-old man his Miranda rights when they showed up at his apartment in December 2015 after receiving a call that the man had human skeletal remains in his home and so prosecutors can't use what cops found there, a judge has ruled.
The man, Amador Medina, told police that he practiced Palo Mayombe, a syncretistic religion common in the Caribbean that fuses West African animism with certain Roman Catholic beliefs. He said he was using the bones, which police in Worcester, Massachusetts say he stole from the Houghton and Norcross family mausoleums at Hope Cemetery there, to perform a healing ritual, according to the Worcester Telegram & Gazette.
