Popular Actress Found Dead In Her Home, Allegedly Killed By Robbers
Popular British actress, Viscella Richards, known professionally as Vikki Richards was discovered dead at 79 with her hands bound in her Caribbean home in North Valsyn, Trinidad, on Wednesday, in what appears to be a robbery.
According to report, the retired actress was found by a friend who became concerned when she couldn’t reach Richards since Tuesday evening.
Upon arriving at her home and finding the gate closed, the friend noticed the front door ajar and called out to Richards, eventually discovering her body while searching the house.
Local officials confirmed there were no other marks of violence on her body when she was found.
Recall that Vikki rose to fame for her role as a supporting actor in Black Snake, a 1973 British blaxploitation film.
Her other film credits include The Love Factor in 1969 and the Onedin Line in 1971.
Viscella’s cousin revealed concerns for her safety due to her early-stage dementia, prompting plans for additional support.
“Yes, we were concerned about her safety because we were getting things in place to get somebody to stay with her as her illness progressed,” the cousin said.
Paying tribute to Viscella, the cousin added: “We have lots of memories to talk about, but too much to mention.”
“She was a very friendly person, very outgoing and outspoken.”
Investigations into her death are ongoing, with the area cordoned off for further examination.

Bandits leader Bello Turji reportedly establishes new base in Sokoto forest
There are indications that notorious bandit leader Bello Turji has established a new base.
The base is reportedly located in the Indaduwa Forest, approximately three kilometres northwest of the village of Bula, near the boundaries of Gundumi, Galadi, Maradun, and Raba in Sokoto State.
Zagazola Makama, a counterterrorism and insurgency expert in the Lake Chad Basin, disclosed this in a post on his X handle on Sunday. He noted that the gang’s activities extend to areas bordering Galadi, Maradun, Gundumi, and Raba.
Makama stated that the new base, reportedly formed three weeks ago, has been linked to recent attacks in the region, including the blockade of the Isa-Marnona road.
He added that an ambush targeting security personnel on the Gundumi-Isa Road on December 21 was allegedly carried out by operatives from Turji’s new base.
According to the security expert, more than 40 individuals are currently believed to be held captive by Turji’s group in the Indaduwa Forest.
Makama explained that ransom payments are allegedly facilitated through informants stationed in Marnona and Gidan Rana near the Gundumi-Isa Road. Survivors recently freed from captivity reportedly confirmed the gang’s operations in the area.
“Sources suggest that the group operating from the Indaduwa Forest base has been responsible for ambushes, kidnappings, and other criminal activities targeting travellers and residents.
“Informants in Illela and Marnona have allegedly been aiding the gang by facilitating ransom payments and providing intelligence.
“Impeccable sources have identified two primary reasons for establishing this new camp: conflict with rival bandits and unresolved feuds.
“Turji has an ongoing rivalry with the Maniya group, stemming from a longstanding feud inherited from his father, Rugga Chida. This feud led to a violent clash years ago, resulting in the death of Kachalla Dullun, a prominent Maniya figure.
“Turji reportedly views the new base as a strategic position to undermine the Maniya group’s operations in the Dutsin Gwauro area, which serves as their headquarters,” Makama explained.

Basketmouth slams filmmakers for failing to showcase Nigeria’s culture in movies
Popular comedian and filmmaker, Bright Okpocha, aka Basketmouth, has accused some of his colleagues of not showcasing Nigeria’s rich culture in their movies.
The movie star alleged that most of the epic movies released recently do not promote the country’s culture.
In an interview with Hip TV, Basketmouth claimed that the filmmakers wasted opportunities to showcase Nigeria’s culture positively.
He said, “I believe that we still have the opportunity to get it right. But we had a great opportunity to showcase our culture and most of the filmmakers blew it up. They just ruined that great chance because I see epic movies and they look like stage plays.
“When I was seeing most of the epic movies, I was disappointed.
“You guys blew up a great opportunity but let’s hope we still have another chance to strike at it.
“I’m sorry, only very few movies have impressed me so far. I believe that we can do more.”
