An estimated 30-40 people from surrounding houses and suburbs have come down to see it.

Hundreds of law enforcement agents searched for a man recently convicted of murder in Pennsylvania for the fatal stabbing of his ex-girlfriend, a day after he escaped from a county jail.

Danelo Cavalcante, 34, is also wanted in his native Brazil in a separate slaying and is considered an extremely dangerous person, authorities said.

The search dragged through a second day, with authorities using drones, helicopters and dogs. Searchers were focusing on railways, waterways and routes out of the area, Chester County's district attorney, Deb Ryan, said at a news conference on Friday.

Ryan said authorities believe Cavalcante is trying to flee south, but also have no evidence that Cavalcante has left the area or that he is receiving assistance from others.

Authorities said area residents should scan video from their doorbells or surveillance cameras for anything suspicious and check their cars, sheds and any outbuildings.

They also advised people to check the homes of vacationing neighbors and look out for missing cars, bicycles or any other mode of transportation Cavalcante could use to aid his flight.

Robert Clark, supervisor of the U.S. Marshals fugitive task force in Philadelphia, said the Brazilian consulate was advised of Cavalcante's escape.

Cavalcante escaped Thursday morning and was seen walking on a road near the jail shortly afterward, authorities said. They have not disclosed the circumstances of his escape and say the matter is under investigation.

A jury convicted Cavalcante last month of killing Deborah Brandao, his ex-girlfriend, in front of her children in 2021. Cavalcante was sentenced to life in prison and was awaiting a transfer to state prison.

"Danelo Cavalcante is considered an extremely dangerous man," said Ryan.

"His depravity knows no bounds … this is someone with nothing to lose," she told US media.

Prosecutors have said he killed Brandao to stop her from telling police about the charges against him in Brazil in connection with a 2017 slaying. He was captured in Virginia after Brandao's killing and authorities say they believe he was trying to return to Brazil.

Cavalcante originally came to the United States illegally after fleeing Brazil to Puerto Rico following the 2017 killing for which he is wanted, authorities said.

Authorities described him as 5 feet (1.5 metres) tall and 54 kilograms. He has curly black hair and a closely cropped beard and mustache, according to a photo the county released.

A 98-year-old former Nazi concentration guard has been indicted on charges of aiding and abetting the murder of more than 3300 people during the Holocaust, German authorities said on Friday.

The man's name was not made public by prosecutors, in accordance with German privacy laws.

The public prosecutor in the western city of Giessen, near Frankfurt, said in a statement that the man worked at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp between 1943 and 1945.

The man, who was a minor at the time of the alleged crimes, is accused of "having assisted in the cruel and insidious killing of thousands of prisoners," prosecutors said.

The man will face a juvenile court because he was under the age of 18 when he served at Sachsenhausen.

The statement added that the trial is expected to be in Hanau, close to the man's home, in accordance with juvenile law.

A psychiatric assessment of the suspect in October 2022 found that he is fit to stand trial within certain limits, the statement concluded.

Germany is racing against time to bring the last surviving perpetrators of Nazi war crimes – now well into old age – to justice.

Last year, another former Sachsenhausen guard, aged 101, was sentenced to five years in prison after being convicted for aiding and abetting the murder of 3518 people during the Holocaust.

A 96-year-old German woman fled before standing trial for crimes she was alleged to have committed while working as a stenographer and typist in the commandant's office at the concentration camp in Stutthof, near what is now the Polish city of Gdansk.

She was later found by local authorities and brought before court, where she was convicted on similar charges.

Sachsenhausen was built by prisoners and opened in 1936.

Of the roughly 200,000 prisoners who passed through the camp, around 100,000 are thought to have died there.

During World War II, the camp's inmate population fluctuated between about 11,000 and 48,000 people.

An estimated 6 million Jews were killed in Nazi concentration camps during World War II.

Also killed were hundreds of thousands of Roma people, political opponents, homosexuals, and people with physical or learning disabilities.

The father of a teenager who was stabbed to death with a steak knife on Queensland's Sunshine Coast has described the court process as "bewildering".

Balin Stewart's teen killer will spend three years and six months in detention after a Brisbane judge handed down his sentence on Friday.

"As a father losing a son, I have a life sentence and he has three years, three months behind bars," Michael Stewart told Weekend Today.

"The court process… has just been bewildering," he said.

Stewart told the 19-year-old, who was convicted of manslaughter, he would never forgive him during the sentencing submissions.

He told Weekend Today he made the statement in court because most teens don't "realise the ramifications of of carrying a knife".

"A single stab wound killed Balin. Knives are incredibly deadly."

"I needed to get that across, not only for the judge to hear but for people to fully realise just how dangerous these knives are.

"We don't get to hold his children… That just rips my heart out."

The teen, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was 17 at the time of the brawl with Balin outside the Stewarts' home on Queensland's Sunshine Coast in January last year.

There had been a significant history of animosity by the teen towards Balin, who died from a single stab wound to the heart from a 12cm steak knife.

A Supreme Court jury in June acquitted the teen of murder but found him guilty of manslaughter, a charge to which he had offered to plead guilty but which was rejected by prosecutors before the trial.

Crown prosecutor Rebecca Marks argued on Friday the teenager acted with the intention to at least cause grievous bodily harm when he armed himself and drove the 5km to Balin's house.

He took the knife out of jealousy after being provoked by videos sent by his ex-girlfriend of her with Balin, Marks said.

The family is hosting a Balin Forever Festival on the Sunshine Coast to have a party and remember their son.

Two outlets of the same burger chain have been set alight within an hour of each other in Brisbane's north and south.

The chain Grubbies Burgers & Hawaiian BBQ had two of their shops in Redbank Plains and Strathpine set alight overnight.

The first Redbank Plains store caught fire at 1.20am and the second store was on fire about 50 minutes later.

Burger chain owner Ben told 9News he was devastated at what had happened.

He said he had been working overnight to try and repair some of the damage.

"I'm a little bit emotional," Ben said.

"I got home from work last night about midnight and got a call at 1am that there was a break-in at our store so I rushed down here," he said.

"There was a bit of commotion."

He said the stores also caught fire around Easter last year.

"I don't know what we did to deserve something like this".

CCTV from the shops will be used as investigations continue.

A nine-year-old boy is in a critical condition in hospital after being hit by a car in Brisbane's south.

The boy was hit by a car travelling west on Alawoona Street, just after Ingles Drive, in Redbank Plains about 7pm last night.

"The boy was transported to hospital where he remains in a critical condition," Queensland Police said in a statement.

The boy is in Queensland Children's Hospital.

Investigations are ongoing.

Mohamed Al-Fayed, former owner of the famed Harrods department store in London whose son was killed in a car crash with Princess Diana, has died, according to the football club he once owned. He was 94.

Al-Fayed, a self-made Egyptian businessman who was also a former owner of Fulham Football Club, was devastated by the death of son Dodi Fayed in the car crash in Paris with Princess Diana 26 years ago.

He spent the rest of his life mourning the loss.

"On behalf of everyone at Fulham Football Club, I send my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mohamed Al Fayed upon the news of his passing at age 94,'' his successor as owner, Shahid Khan, said in a statement on the club's website.

"I join our supporters around the world in celebrating the memory of Mohamed Al Fayed, whose legacy will always be at the heart of our tradition at Fulham Football Club."

His death comes one day after the anniversary of his son's death, which occurred on August 31, 1997.

Al Fayed alleged his son's death was not an accident and had been orchestrated by the British security services but French police concluded it was an accident.

Even in Australia's warmest winter on record, you'd expect the coldest night to have occurred in the alpine regions of New South Wales or Victoria, or perhaps somewhere in Tasmania.

Guess again.

Locals of this town shivered through a bone-chilling night of minus 10.8 degrees on July 20, yet the town is located much closer to Queensland than Mt Kosciuszko.

Give up?

The coldest spot in Australia this winter was Glen Innes in northern New South Wales, just 111km south of the Queensland border.

"We're pretty resilient up here," Josh Tibbs, bar manager at the Club Hotel in Glenn Innes told 9news.com.au.

"We're used to it, although that doesn't mean we like it."

At an elevation of 1062 metres on the NSW Northern Tablelands, Glen Innes sits high enough to expect cold temps in winter, and even sees occasional snowfalls.

As you can see in the picture above, Glen Innes also sits in a shallow valley, which means cold air pools there in windless conditions, causing severe frosts on clear winter nights.

Glen Innes has registered some extreme low temperatures in the past – its average minimum in the coldest month of July is -1 degrees, while the lowest temperature ever recorded was a mind-numbing -12.8 degrees.

But it's not often that the town of just over 6000 residents will register a lower temperature than anywhere else in Australia over the duration of an entire winter.

For example, in both 2022 and 2021, Perisher Valley in the NSW Snowy Mountains had Australia's coldest winter temperature, while in 2020 it was the tiny town of Liawenee in Tasmania, with a brutal minus 14.2 degrees.

But this year, with warm winter weather across much of Australia, and especially in the alpine regions down south, Glen Innes just happened to be the coldest spot.

Tibbs remembers the chilly night of July 20 and says the Cub Hotel had all four fires roaring, as it does most winter evenings.

He also says that the 2023 winter felt pretty warm overall, apart from the odd super chilly night or two.

He's right – Glen Innes' daytime temperatures were significantly above average in all three winter months in 2023.

The mercury even reached a relatively mild 14.6 degrees the afternoon after the frigid -10.8-degree night – 1.3 degrees above the average July maximum.

Up to 20,000 people gather at the Spanish town of Bunol every year for the famous festival.

More than 150 migrant Australians are opening up about sexual and religious oppression in a groundbreaking research project.

Poet Koraly Dimitriadis is usually known within the Australian Greek-Cypriot community as one of two things – a voice of reason or a reckless rebel.

Her work predominantly explores taboo subjects within Australian migrant families from Greek or Cypriot backgrounds, including religious repression, domestic violence, divorce and shame.

Her upcoming non-fiction project called Not Till You're Married discusses how women are made to feel ashamed about sex and their bodies during childhood in religious migrant families.

One research participant, who chose to stay anonymous, told 9news.com.au she can relate to Dimitriadis as she too developed intimacy issues due to her upbringing.

"As a young Arab girl, I was constantly reminded that having crushes on boys was deviant and wrong, this stuck with me well into my teenage and adult years, where I now find intimacy really physically difficult," she said.

"The years of conditioning means that even though you're an adult consenting to sexual and romantic intimacy, you feel repulsion for yourself that shouldn't be associated with pleasure.

"Not only does this impact sexual comfortability, but the ability to be vulnerable and let love in."

Dimitriadis has collected data from over 150 first-generation Australians who were raised following an Abrahamic religion, with at least one parent born overseas.

Abrahamic religions include Christianity, Judaism and Islam.

"Not Till You're Married as a whole explores what a religious or migrant upbringing might manifest in the adult," she told 9news.com.au.

"I saw marriage as a kind of freedom (because) that's what (my) migrant culture had taught me.

"First you are your parent's property, (then) you are your husband's property (but) you are never your own property."

While Dimitriadis draws controversy from some in the community, her poetry works titled Love and F— Poems and Give Me the Pills have received acclaim from those struggling in migrant communities.

The writer says she doesn't care if she's controversial if it means just one person resonates with her work.

"It's kind of unapologetic, it's just my way, it's raw and confronting, it (my work) does tackle really complex subjects in confronting ways," she said.

"This book isn't a book about blame, it's about healing and acknowledging (that) our parents and our grandparents had hard lives, but we need to do better.

"I've had issues with my body, loving my body, taking care of myself.

"I've had people tell me 'that's exactly my experience', (while others) have said 'I never had that experience.'"

Dimitriadis is currently looking for a publisher for the book and her research is nearing completion.

Her debut short story collection The Mother Must Die will be released next year.
