Open Heaven 10 July 2026 – Christ In You

Open Heaven 10 July 2026 Friday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Christ In You

Open Heaven 10 July 2026 TOPIC – Christ In You

MEMORISE: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: – Colossians 1:27 (KJV)

READ: Acts 16:19-34 (KJV)

19 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,

20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,

21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.

22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.

23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:

24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.

25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.

27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.

28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.

29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,

30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.

33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.

34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ecclesiastes 1-4

Open Heaven 10 July 2026 MESSAGE

The first time I visited the Kirikiri Maximum Security Prison was in 1975. I went there with an elderly pastor, and we saw a young man playing the piano and dancing joyfully. I asked the elderly pastor whether the young man was about to be released, and he responded that the man didn’t have any hope of being released because he was serving a life sentence. I then asked the pastor why the young man was so joyful despite his circumstances, and he replied that the man was joyful because he had met Jesus Christ while in prison.

Beloved, if you are going through a bad situation, I want you to know that no matter how bad it is, you have a reason to rejoice as long as you have Jesus. Today’s memory verse says that Christ in you is the hope of glory. When Christ is in a fellow, no matter what he or she is facing, such a fellow has hope for a glorious future.

A songwriter once wrote a song that says, “I am glad I belong to Jesus.” Another songwriter wrote, “Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.” These should be your declarations as a believer, even when the enemy knocks you down. Proverbs 24:16 says that the righteous may fall seven times, but they will surely rise again. This means that negative situations cannot keep you down permanently. When the devil arranged for Jesus’ crucifixion and death, he thought he had won. However, 1 Corinthians 2:8 tells us that if the princes of this world had known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. Had they known that Jesus’ death would be their utter destruction, they would have tried to prevent Him from dying. In today’s Bible reading, the devil thought he had succeeded in shutting Paul and Silas up by getting them arrested. He didn’t know that God needed them to be in prison so they could show the jailer and his household the way to salvation. The devil’s attempts to make you fall will only lead to God being glorified in your life.

Child of God, are you going through a tough and uncertain situation? Rejoice because Christ in you is your hope of glory. Don’t despair or be discouraged. Rest assured that whatever you are passing through will give God a platform to announce His glory in your life, so long as you remain in Christ. May Christ indeed reveal His glory in your life, in Jesus’ name.

Open Heaven 10 July 2026 KEY POINT

As long as you have Christ in you, you have every reason to rejoice.

Open Heaven 10 July 2026 HYMN 10 – In Christ Alone

1 In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

2 In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless Babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live, I live

3 There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For l am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

4 No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From a life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Could ever pluck me from His hand
‘Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I stand

Iranian Assassination Plot Against Trump Uncovered Amid National Mourning

0

Israeli intelligence has unveiled to the United States an alleged Iranian scheme targeting President Donald Trump’s life, coinciding with Trump’s declaration that the ceasefire between the US and Iran has effectively ended.

Earlier this week, Trump described his adversaries as ‘crazy’ and asserted that ‘they want to take me out,’ though he acknowledged their eagerness to negotiate a deal.

While specifics of the plot were not divulged, Trump conveyed his conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday, affirming continued cooperation between the nations, as reported by the Wall Street Journal.

The White House directed The Daily Mail to refer to Trump’s statements made at the NATO summit in Turkey on Wednesday for comments.

Trump remarked, “They are looking to eliminate the US leader — meaning me. I found out this morning that I’m on all their lists. Up to now, I’ve been somewhat fortunate, but that might not remain the case,” he expressed.

Trump added: ‘These are evil, sick people. And we have to root out that cancer. That cancer. You know what you do? You’ve got to cut out cancer early. And that’s the way I feel.’

The Daily Mail has also reached out to the prime minister for comment.

His warning came as hardline lawmakers in Tehran openly called for missiles to be fired at his location at the summit. Earlier this week, mourners at Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s funeral placed a death bounty on Trump.

The President again brought up his demise during a press conference alongside Marco Rubio and his other top cabinet officials. 

While discussing Iran’s leadership, installed after Khamenei was killed in the war, Trump said: ‘They’re gone now. They have another set of leaders. They may be gone.’

‘Who knows? And you know what, I may be gone too because I’m their number one target. It’s out all over the place. I’m the number one, because they’re scum.’

Trump’s comments come after he declared his ceasefire with Iran ‘over’ and unleashed fresh strikes on the regime after Iranian attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

During Khamenei’s funeral on Monday, footage from Tehran shows pro-regime demonstrators with posters featuring red crosshairs over Trump’s face, above the seven-word warning: ‘Sooner or later, your heads will roll.’

Other posters showed the faces of JD Vance and Pete Hegseth over a crosshair with the phrase: ‘There will be blood.’

Chants of ‘Death to America’ and ‘Death to Israel’ rang out across the capital as Khamenei’s coffin was borne through the streets of Tehran.

Iranians were also seen lighting US and British flags on fire while hurling rocks at pictures of Trump. An effigy of Trump being hanged was pictured near the front of the funeral procession.

Khamenei ruled Iran for nearly 37 years before dying in U.S. and Israeli airstrikes that started the war February 28. 

He was laid to rest in his hometown of Mashhad early Friday after days of public mourning.

Khamenei is only the second ruler of the nation to be buried in the city. In 1747, Nader Shah was buried there after he was assassinated following nearly 11 years in power.

The funeral processions began Saturday, with authorities shutting down streets, airspace and daily life in Tehran and other cities, as throngs commemorated the man who led Iran with an iron fist for decades while confronting the West.

The regime’s desire to kill Trump goes back to his first term, following the 2020 drone strike the President ordered that killed Revolutionary Guard general Qasem Soleimani. 

US intelligence repeatedly warned during his 2024 campaign that Iran was plotting to assassinate him as well as former officials from his first term in revenge for the strike.

Federal prosecutors charged a Revolutionary Guard operative with offering $300,000 to have Trump’s former national security advisor John Bolton murdered on American soil.

Pompeo and one-time Iran envoy Brian Hook were forced to live under round-the-clock government protection.

The President’s apparent musing about his death comes just days before the two-year anniversary of the Butler, Pennsylvania, assassination attempt that nearly took his life. 

The Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general released a report last week that found the Secret Service missed 102 radio calls flagging gunman Thomas Crooks on a nearby roof with a long gun and never warned the agents at Trump’s side to get him off the stage. 

The would-be assassin was shot at the scene in July 2024.

The confusion and uncertainty in Trump’s mixed messaging and his approval of back-to-back military strikes leave major questions about what comes next in the conflict, just weeks after difficult diplomacy to reach even an initial deal between the longtime adversaries.

The whipsawing rhetoric could be a strategy to increase the pressure on Tehran to stop attacking ships transporting oil and natural gas in the Strait of Hormuz and bend to US demands on its nuclear program — something Trump has tried before.

Whether it is a negotiation tactic or a signal of an escalation in fighting, mediators are scrambling to save the interim deal and the actions risk further inflaming tensions — which could spell problems for Republicans in November’s midterm elections if gas prices stay high.

Trump warned Wednesday that a new round of US attacks was coming, even as he attempted to shrug off suggestions of a return to full-scale war. 

Hours later, the military announced it was carrying out new attacks on Iran that were meant to ‘further degrade their ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.’

‘Anything that happens is going to happen very fast,’ Trump said earlier. ‘We’re not looking for a long time.’

DCLM Daily Manna 10 July 2026 — Consequences Of Trafficking In Idolatry

DCLM Daily Manna 10 July 2026 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Consequences Of Trafficking In Idolatry

TOPIC: Consequences Of Trafficking In Idolatry (DCLM Daily Manna 10 July 2026)

KEY VERSE: They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods – Isaiah 42:17

TEXT: Isaiah 42:17-25 (KJV)

17 They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.

18 Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.

19 Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the Lord’s servant?

20 Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.

21 The Lord is well pleased for his righteousness’ sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.

22 But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.

23 Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come?

24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the Lord, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.

25 Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.

DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:

It was the author J.C. Ryle in his book, Practical Religion who says, “Beware of manufacturing a God of your own: a God who is all mercy, but not just; a God who is all love, but not holy; a God who has a heaven for everybody, but a hell for none;… such a God is an idol of your own creation. He is not God of the Bible, and aside from the God of the Bible, there is no God at all.” In today’s Bible passage, Prophet Isaiah furthered the prophecy concerning the Messiah’s kingdom typified by that of Cyrus. It hints at the great success of the gospel and the Church, the defeat of the enemies of the Church and the rejection of the unbelieving and Christ-rejecting Jews. The prophecy particularly points out how those who subscribe to idle worship in the face of all these would be ashamed of their stance.

A call is here given to the spiritually blind and deaf Israel, and by extension professing believers and ministers: “Hear ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see”. Those who would remain obstinate and unbelieving would be allowed to suffer the consequences of their sin. This was the case of Israel who violated God’s law and remained misguided even under the correcting rod of God.

Sin has consequence and idolatrous sins have weightier and more lethal consequences. Idolatry is a flagrant affront against the deity of God. He who goes awhoring after any tin god belittles the Almighty as secondary to that which he enthrones in his heart. This act attracts the hot displeasure of God.

If your personality, pursuit, power or possession becomes the primary attraction that distracts you from God, you are digging an abysmal pit for yourself. He who desires to shake off God’s wrath should humbly submit his heart to the Lord. Let God be the sole administrator sitting on the throne of your heart. Only then will you savour the blessings of Christ’s kingdom.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Shame belongs to those who disdain the true God

Rhapsody Of Realities 10 July 2026: Mortify The Transactions Of The Body

Rhapsody Of Realities 10 July 2026 By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (Christ Embassy): Mortify The Transactions Of The Body

TOPIC: Mortify The Transactions Of The Body (Rhapsody of Realities 10 July 2026)

For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live – Romans 8:13

Rhapsody Of Realities For Today’s MESSAGE:

There’s a depth to the scripture above that you must understand. When the Apostle Paul speaks of “the deeds of the body,” he’s not merely referring to actions or habits. He’s dealing with something deeper, which is the transactions of the body; the dealings of the body.

The body has its operations. It carries out its activities through the senses—what you feel, what you see, what you experience physically. Through these, it conducts its “business,” bringing reports and conditions into your life. At times, the body “brings” something home; it may be a symptom, a weakness, or a discomfort, something it picked up through natural processes.

But you must understand that you’re not subject to those transactions. You’re not to be regulated by the rudiments of this earthly realm but to live above them. The Bible says, “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace” (Romans 8:6). To be carnally minded is to live according to the dictates and reports of the body, to respond to what it says and what it feels. But that’s not your life.

You’re called to live by the Spirit. The Word says if through the Spirit, you mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live. That means through the Holy Spirit, you can paralyse those transactions. You can nullify the operations of the body. You can bring its activities under subjection. You don’t let the body dictate your condition or define your reality.

The life in you is greater. It’s the life of God. And that life gives you authority over the body. The Scripture says, “But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you… shall also quicken your mortal bodies…” (Romans 8:11). He gives life to your physical body. He overrides its limitations.

So, when the body brings its report, you answer by the Spirit. When it suggests weakness, you respond with strength. When it presents a condition, you enforce the higher law of the Spirit, the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, by which you’re governed. Hallelujah! So, take charge and exercise dominion over your body. Keep it in health with the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the authority I have through the Holy Spirit over my body. I refuse to be governed by the senses; rather, I choose to walk in life, strength and dominion, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY

Romans 8:6-10 (KJV)
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. [7] Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. [8] So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. [9] But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. [10] And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

Galatians 5:16 (KJV)
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

1 Corinthians 9:27 (NKJV)
But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

DIVINE HEALTH CONFESSIONS – 10TH JULY 2026

The love of God is shed abroad in my heart, and perfect love casts out fear. Thus, I have no fear in me. I do not fear disease, I do not fear infirmity, and I do not fear death. I am perfected in love, and I walk in perfect health all the days of my life.

Keep saying it, don’t stop talking it! Remember, you can make your way prosperous with words. Get talking today!

Remember to share with all your friends and loved ones today. Thank you and God bless you richly.

Newcastle Secures £49m Manzambi, Neco Williams Transfer Frenzy, Upson’s Son Targeted by Top Clubs, Man United and Everton in Goalkeeper Hunt: Transfer Window Update

0

It’s that exciting time of the year when the transfer window swings open, remaining so until September 1. As clubs gear up for next season, the rush to secure stellar additions promises a whirlwind of activity. 

Stay informed with today’s significant updates brought to you by Simon Jones and the Daily Mail Sport team. 

Manzambi bound for Toon 

Newcastle United have reached a preliminary agreement with Freiburg to sign midfielder Johan Manzambi for £49 million.

Meanwhile, sources from Germany confirm that Aston Villa and Manchester United have shown varying levels of interest in the player.

Additionally, Newcastle is keeping an eye on Nottingham Forest’s full-back, Neco Williams, as part of their transfer considerations.

The Wales international is also on a long list of options for Manchester United should they decide to pursue a left back this window.

Forest have offered Williams new terms and he has three years left on contract.

Manchester United expect to confirm the signings of Andrey Santos and Karl Darlow over the weekend. Brazil midfielder Ederson is also undergoing thorough medical tests before they can confirm his arrival from Atalanta.

Veteran Coleman in talks with Blades 

Seamus Coleman has held talks with Sheffield United as manager Chris Wilder looks for a new right-back.

The 37-year-old Coleman left Everton at the end of the season and has an offer to return there in a coaching capacity. 

However, Coleman has been determined to extend his playing career domestically and with Republic of Ireland and has taken up an invite to train with Wilder’s squad.

The Blades have also been hoping to sign Coleman’s former teammate Lewis Dobbin from Aston Villa on loan. But Villa want a permanent sale.

Upson Jnr in Arsenal frame  

Elijah Upson has visited Arsenal’s training ground as he considers his next move after leaving Tottenham.

The 18-year-old defender, who is the son of former West Ham and England centre-back Matthew, has a number of top clubs chasing his signature after he turned down the professional terms offered by Spurs.

He is spending time visiting various suitors as he looks to make a decision over the next week. The right-sided centre-back has some illustrious names to consider.

Manchester City, Chelsea, Everton, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig and Monaco have all registered their interest. 

Upson had been with Spurs since he was seven and featured for their U17, U18, and U21 sides, including in the U17 Premier League Cup-winning squad. His pace and athleticism, partly inherited from his sprinter mother, Ellie Darby, have been standout attributes during his youth career. 

Johnstone an option for Everton 

Everton are assessing Sam Johnstone as an option to bolster their goalkeeping ranks, Daily Mail Sport understands.

The Toffees could add a number two goalkeeper this summer, with Coventry City in the hunt for their existing understudy, Mark Travers.

The 33-year-old former England international is one of several goalkeepers on their shortlist to support Jordan Pickford.

Johnstone made 30 appearances for relegated Wolverhampton Wanderers last season, although he missed the latter part of the campaign due to a shoulder injury. His deal at Wolves runs until summer 2028.

Everton had previously made an offer to free agent Karl Darlow, who decided not to renew his contract at Leeds United, but the Wales goalkeeper is set to join Manchester United.

Darlow to make switch from Leeds to Man United

Manchester United are close to signing Karl Darlow as a back-up goalkeeper.

He is a free agent after leaving Leeds United at the end of his contract and his representatives have been discussing a two year deal.

Leeds have made efforts to re-sign him while Everton also made an offer but agreement is now expected to be concluded with United as competition for Senne Lammens. United also expect to sell Altay Bayindir. 

Andrey Santos’s move to United is progressing swiftly following his medical today.

The club are expected to confirm his £48m arrival from Chelsea over the weekend. 

Read the full story on Santos’ move here. 

Everton’s Iroegbunam a wanted man  

Everton midfielder Tim Iroegbunam is attracting interest from Hull City and clubs in Italy.

The 23-year-old has one year on contract and has also attracted enquiries from Ipswich Town.

Iroegbunam had offers from Lazio in January and a deal to Italy could yet be resurrected.

Everton remain in the market for a goalkeeper with Coventry City keen in Mark Travers.

They had held talks with Karl Darlow but he is joining Manchester United.

Everton hold an interest in Bayer Leverkusen striker Christian Kofane, whose agent was recently pictured at Finch Farm training ground, but a deal is considered unlikely at this stage. 

Eagles swoop for Mingueza

Crystal Palace have signed Oscar Mingueza on a free transfer from Celta de Vigo.

The 27-year-old Barcelona academy product becomes Pierre Sage’s first signing as Palace boss, arriving on a four-year deal.

Mingueza made 127 appearances for Celta de Vigo and was in the Europa League team of the season last term.

A versatile defender, he can play centre back and full back. But Palace primarily view Mingueza as cover for right wing back Daniel Munoz.

Palace beat several major European sides to the Spanish international’s signature – including Arsenal and Newcastle United.

The Eagles playfully announced his arrival on social media using the Oscars theme song. 

BOBBY MANZI 

Wilson is the Bees knees

Brentford have completed the signing of Callum Wilson on a free transfer.

The 34-year-old has signed a one-year deal after the expiry of his deal at West Ham.

Brentford head coach Keith Andrews said: ‘Callum is someone that everyone will be familiar with; he has been a Premier League goalscorer for such a long time.

‘He gives us more options in that area of the pitch, and will help Igor Thiago and Kaye Furo with the experience that he has.’

Brentford, who signed Jaidon Anthony earlier this week, are also looking to fend off competition from Spurs for 18-year-old midfielder Ousmane Diabate from Turkish side Genclerbirligi.

A Guinea international, the Premier League sides believe he can be prised away for around £3million plus bonuses. Brentford appear to be in pole position to land the midfielder as things stand.

Legendary Broadcaster and Ex-Senator Derryn Hinch Dies at 82: A Tribute to His Legacy

0

Renowned broadcaster and one-time senator Derryn Hinch has passed away at the age of 82, following years of enduring significant health challenges.

News of Hinch’s passing was officially shared by his former employer, Melbourne’s radio station 3AW, on Friday.

According to 3AW’s entertainment journalist Peter Ford, Hinch peacefully departed this life in his Melbourne home on Thursday.

Hinch initially carved out his career in the world of print media before transitioning to radio, where he gained prominence on 3AW during the 1980s, eventually branching out into television.

3AW, paying tribute to Hinch, described him as a pioneering force, nicknamed ‘The Human Headline,’ who always made a lasting impact.

Hinch had earned the moniker for his outspoken and often controversial opinions that frequently landed him in hot water.

The New-Zealand born personality was remembered by listeners and 3AW colleagues for never shying away from speaking publicly about the issues he saw as important.

Former colleague and 3AW newsreader Denis O’Kane remembered Hinch as a renegade and a lot fun.

“Serious guy to a lot of people, but also when you’re out with him a lot fun,” O’Kane said.

A renegade

Hinch took his battle to hold those in power accountable to the political arena in 2016, forming Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party and being elected to the Senate at age 72.

Former federal Labor MP Emma Husar remembered Hinch in a social media post as “a very good friend, support and mentor”.

The pair were forced to reject media claims of an inappropriate sexual advance by Hinch directed at Husar, which both said never occurred.

“The teller of a great story, a crusader for justice and things which were never spoken about but needed to be,” Husar wrote.

“He was ahead of the #MeToo movement and the royal commission into institutional abuse.

“Today I am sad although I know he would want me to only remember the remarkable life he always said he was lucky to have.”

Hinch had his fair share of off-air troubles, publicly discussing his battle with alcoholism, which would come at great cost to his health.

He was diagnosed with liver cancer in 2007 and underwent an organ transplant in 2011.

In 2008, he served five months in home detention for naming two convicted child sex offenders.

He was also jailed for 50 days for refusing to pay a $100,000 fine for revealing the criminal past of Melbourne woman Jill Meagher’s killer Adrian Ernest Bayley in 2013.


Tragic Death of NY Mom Jamey Carney: Hunt for Suspected Killer Ahmad Alsaqer After Ireland Escape

0

A tragic story has unfolded in Ireland with the death of a New York mother, allegedly at the hands of her asylum-seeking boyfriend. Contrary to the initial reports from the gruesome murder scene, her death resulted from suffocation.

The lifeless body of Jamey Carney was tragically uncovered by her 13-year-old daughter. Found beneath a duvet, she lay in the bed of her new home in Killarney on Tuesday morning.

Carney’s body bore the signs of a savage attack, with multiple severe blows to the head leading many to suspect her new partner, a Middle Eastern asylum seeker named Ahmad Alsaqer. However, it was ultimately suffocation that claimed her life, not the brutal beating they first assumed.

The revelation came from a postmortem examination conducted by State Pathologist Dr. Linda Mulligan, as reported by the Irish Times. The findings overturn initial assumptions about how the tragedy unfolded regarding the cause of death.

Information beyond this finding from the postmortem remains undisclosed, leaving many questions about the circumstances surrounding Carney’s harrowing death unanswered.

The Gardai, Irish police, have opened a murder investigation into Carney’s death and are searching for 28-year-old Alsaqer, who is believed to have fled the country hours after the alleged killing.

Officials fear DNA evidence found at the scene may hinder the investigation as Alsaqer had visited Carney’s home regularly as opposed to a murder committed by a stranger, the outlet reported.

Carney, who was working for a healthcare consulting company, met Alsaqer at the pro-Palestinian rally a year and a half ago.

The two had been pictured in multiple social media posts in the weeks leading up to Carney’s death, including one where they

He is believed to have jumped on a bus from Killarney to Dublin at 3 a.m. and possibly a last-minute flight out of Ireland to Istanbul, Turkey, according to the Irish Independent.

Police are probing several of Alsaqer’s contacts across the Middle East, including in Turkey, Syria and Jordan, suspecting they are helping the man, who arrived in Ireland in 2024, escape.

Officials issued alerts at ports and airports over fears Alsaqer had a 12-hour head start to flee the country before Carney’s body was found.

“(Police) are satisfied that a person of interest in this investigation left the jurisdiction in the early hours of Tuesday 7th July prior to the body of the deceased female being discovered and reported to,” a police statement to the Irish Independent said.

It is unclear how he could have fled the country as he wouldn’t have had access to his passport due to his open asylum application, sources told the outlet.

Carney, who had moved with her daughter from Westchester County, NY, to Ireland in 2021, was remembered by family as a “most caring humanitarian.”

“The sweetest, most caring, most humanitarian person,” her cousin Ryan Fox told RTE.

Fox called Carney’s death “a shock and a nightmare” to their family, as her mother was “very upset” and “could barely get her words across.”

“It’s something that nobody expected because, two days before, there was a picture posted, everybody’s smiling,” Fox told the outlet.

Carney may have been killed during a jealous fit or rage, the Irish Independent previously reported.

Neighbors reported hearing a loud argument coming from Carney’s rented home on Monday, hours before her body was discovered.

Police also asked for anyone in the area of the luxury housing estate between 11 p.m. Monday and 5 a.m. Tuesday to step forward with any information or CCTV video.

Bill Ward Shares Health News a Year After Ozzy Osborne’s Passing

Former Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward has provided his fans with a heartfelt update regarding his health, nearly a year after mourning the loss of his late bandmate, Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away at the age of 76.

On Thursday, July 9, Ward, now 78, took to X to share a poignant message about his current physical condition. “I’m announcing today somewhat sadly but nonetheless truthfully, that I’ve reached a place where publicly more and more I need to use a wheelchair, mostly in airports or public events,” he confessed. “I can still walk, let there be no doubt, but I can’t walk very far without needing to rest, meaning I need to sit down.”

He elaborated that he first began using a wheelchair about 18 months ago, particularly in airports, as mobility became an increasing challenge. Reflecting on the passage of time, Ward noted, “I became 78 years old on May 5th, 2026. I was a long-distance walker, I’ve walked in many different parts of the world, and I’m still a drummer. I can still play pretty good for 78 years old.”

Ward’s health challenges are not new. Throughout his storied career, he has faced numerous medical hurdles, including mental health issues and tests of sobriety during the zenith of the band’s fame. Embracing a sober lifestyle and turning vegan in the 1980s, he earned the nickname “Heavy Metal Vegan.”

The veteran musician’s health issues have also included a heart attack in 1998 while rehearsing for Black Sabbath’s reunion tour, along with further cardiac issues in 2017 and 2021. In recent years, his mobility has become a new frontier in his ongoing health journey.

“My talents and ambitions, and my unyielding need to be artful, and to play drums, is still as strong as it was so many years ago now,” he added. “I’m just saying if you see me in a wheelchair, I’m just catching a ride, I’m not in retirement or ill or giving up, or any of those thoughts that ignite when we see people in wheelchairs.”

He went on, “I’m making myself public and transparent about my new transport, and letting you know I’m OK. If you see me in the airports or visiting friends in the music arenas or theatres say hi, I don’t bite, I’ll just look different, as pictured here. Much love to you all and I’ll keep rocking until I’m dead.”

“And the secrets we hide, can be dangerous to our health, I’m letting transparency prevail, with love and progression,” he concluded.

Ward’s announcement came just shy of one year after the Osbourne family confirmed the death of former Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy on July 22, 2025.

Ozzy Osbourne Health Struggles Up to This Point

Ozzy Osbourne experienced a series of health ups and downs prior to his death. Ozzy, who tied the knot with Sharon Osbourne in 1982, revealed he had Parkinson’s disease in 2020. (Ozzy and Sharon shared daughters Kelly and Aimee and son Jack. He was also father to Elliot, Louis and Jessica with ex-wife Thelma Riley.) […]

“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,” Osbourne’s family said in a statement to Us Weekly at the time. “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”

Every living original member of Black Sabbath paid tribute to Ozzy following his death, with Ward writing via Instagram, “Where will I find you now? In the memories, our unspoken embraces, our missed phone calls, no, you’re forever in my heart.”

“Deepest condolences to Sharon and all family members. RIP Sincere regrets to all the fans. Never goodbye. Thank you forever,” he added.

Ozzy reunited with Ward and the other Black Sabbath original members mere weeks before his death at his final Back to the Beginning concert in Birmingham, England, on July 5, 2025.

Tyler Robinson Confesses Regret to Trans Lover Over Past Actions

0

After the alleged killing of Charlie Kirk, Tyler Robinson returned to his shared residence, expressing regret over his actions, according to his roommate and transgender partner, who relayed this information to the police. 

During a police interview shown at Robinson’s pretrial hearing on Thursday, Lance Twiggs, 23, who once shared both a home and a relationship with Robinson, made a shocking revelation.

Twiggs recounted that Robinson had messaged him, instructing him to look beneath his computer keyboard after Charlie Kirk was fatally shot on September 10, 2025. Prosecutors revealed that the hidden note stated, “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it.”

The discovery of the note left Twiggs in a state of panic, and when Robinson returned the following day, he began to nervously pace their apartment while evading any questioning.

Twiggs alleged that Robinson eventually confessed to the crime, breaking down in tears and voicing his regret for the action. Subsequently, Robinson indicated his intention to surrender to authorities. 

The moment came as Twiggs’ police interview from April 2026 was played in Robinson’s hearing with some redactions. 

Twiggs said he and Robinson first met in 2023 and moved into a shared apartment in St George, Utah. 

He and Robinson began a romantic relationship around two months later, Twiggs told investigators.  

He said on the morning Kirk was assassinated, Robinson left early in the morning and claimed he had to work a long shift, and Twiggs did not hear from him again until 11pm that night when he received a message about the note under the keyboard.

After Twiggs’ video statement to the police was played, prosecutors presented text messages allegedly sent between Robinson and Twiggs after Kirk was killed. 

The first message shows Robinson telling Twiggs to ‘drop what you’re doing, look under my keyboard.’

Twiggs replied, ‘What? You’re joking right?… You weren’t the one who did it right?’

To which Robinson allegedly replied, ‘I am, I’m sorry.’

Robinson’s message continued, ‘I had planned to grab my rifle from my drop point shortly after, but most of that side of town got locked down. 

‘It’s quiet, almost enough to get but, there’s one vehicle lingering.’ 

Robinson allegedly then discussed trying to get rid of the rifle used to shoot Kirk, writing: ‘If I am able to grab my rifle unseen, I will have left no evidence.

‘Going to attempt to retrieve it again, hopefully they haven’t moved on. I haven’t seen anything in the news about them finding it. Will update you by midnight.’  

Twiggs then asked Robinson how long he had been planning the shooting, to which he replied: ‘A bit over a week, I believe.’

Authorities said Twiggs quickly cooperated with investigators and offered his DNA for testing, and this week prosecutors said both Twiggs’ and Robinson’s DNA were found on a towel wrapped around the murder weapon.

In his police interview shown at Thursday’s hearing, Twiggs said he was not especially interested in politics, and said he and Robinson never previously discussed Charlie Kirk before the shooting.

He said Robinson would occasionally rant about Donald Trump, but said the extent of their discussions about LGBTQ rights was about legislation the President was pushing.

When asked about engravings found on bullets at the shooting scene, Twiggs said Robinson had told him he was going on a hunting trip and asked for an engraving tool for the expedition.

Twiggs said Robinson had talked about the hunting trip in general for months, then about a month before the shooting started talking about engraving bullets.

Investigators have claimed to have found bullet casings engraved with political messages in the gun, including one reading: ‘Hey fascist! Catch!’

In the alleged confession note, which Twiggs confirmed finding in his interview with police, Robinson referred to him by his chosen name ‘Luna,’ instead of Lance.

‘If you are reading this per my text, then I am so sorry. I left the house this morning on a mission, and set an auto text,’ the note read, per the court filings. 

‘I am likely dead, or facing a lengthy prison sentence. I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and I took it. I don’t know if I will/have succeeded, but I had hoped to make it home to you. I wish we could have lived in a world where this did not feel necessary. 

‘I wish I could have stayed for you and lived our lives together.’
