    After being discovered dying along the North Saskatchewan River in western Edmonton last year, the woman’s partner has been charged with murder. Ashley Burke, 43, was found deceased along the river south of the Quesnell Bridge near Whitemud Park, at about 4: 45 p. m. on Monday, Dec. 30, 2024. At the time of her suicide, Burke was living in Edmonton, but authorities said she had ties to Pine Grove. She was identified as a homicide victim by an autopsy on Thursday, January 2, but officers are not yet releasing her cause of death for investigational purposes. On Friday, Daniel Boothman, 31, was arrested and charged with second-degree crime in connection with Burke’s suicide. Boothman and Burke were known to one another, police said, adding Burke’s suicide is considered an intimate partner crime.

    Golden Globes 2025 winners list: ‘ Shogun,’ ‘ Hacks,” A True Pain ‘ take beginning gets 

    Less than a week after our 2025 ring, the 82nd monthly Golden Globe Awards are officially beginning their monthly awards time, and stars on the red floor didn’t disappoint. All Golden Globe nominations are in the top 10, which includes Jacques Audiard’s bold artistic Emilia Pérez, about a Hispanic drug king who goes through gender-affirming operation. That placed it ahead of other contenders, including the musical Wicked ( four nominations ), the papal thriller Conclave ( six ), and the postwar epic The Brutalist ( seven ). The Bear holds the top five spots in television history. With his 11th election, Denzel Washington is the most-nominated Black entertainer at the Globes. Only Murders in the Building has received four nominations for the best broadcast actor in the category of music or humor series. His seventh overall election is likely to be his first-ever Orbs win. There are 26 first-time contenders including Ariana Grande, Dakota Fanning, Nikki Glaser, Seth Meyers, Zoe Saldaña and Pamela Anderson— who earned a smile for The Last Showgirl. After centuries of scandal and corporate tumult, the troubled Globes, which are no more presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, are still in return style. The service will be hosted by Glaser, her second day, and it will be televised by CBS and streamed on Paramount+ beginning at 8 p. m. ET. The festival is broadcast on CityTV in Canada.

    NPFL clubs jostle for Meyiwa’s signature

    Meyiwa Oritseweyinmi is set to leave Nigeria Premier Football League side, Bendel Insurance, for a move elsewhere. According to reports, Meyiwa is understood to be attracting interest from an unnamed Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, club.

    The defender was one of the standout performers for Bendel Insurance in the first stanza. He made 15 appearances and registered one goal in this campaign.

    He also played a crucial role in Bendel Insurance’s 2023 Federation Cup triumph. The defender hasalso been invited to the Super Eagles B team in the past.

    NPFL: Enyimba set target for season after difficult spell

    Enyimba team manager Okey Nwabeke has revealed the team’s target following their recent struggles in the Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL. Nwabeke says that a top-three finish is the minimum expectation from the team in this campaign.

    The nine-time NPFL champions are without a win in seven matches in the league. Enyimba currently occupies ninth position on the NPFL table with 24 points. “The Chairman, Nwankwo Kanu, has made it clear: ‘It’s either you win the league title or secure a continental ticket—nothing less,” Okey Nwabeke told Complete Sports.“

    So, we’re working hard to achieve that goal. We have three outstanding matches, and we are focused on securing nine points from those games.”

    EPL: Liverpool fail to extend lead at the top after 2-2 draw with Man U

    Liverpool failed to pull away significantly from their Premier League rivals, following a 2-2 draw with Manchester United on Sunday. Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Brighton yesterday meant that the Reds could go eight points clear.

    The first half ended goalless at Anfield, with both sides struggling to create clear chances. But it was United who took the lead, thanks to a sensational finish from Lisandro Martinez. Liverpool were level within five minutes through Cody Gakpo and took the lead after Mohamed Salah stroked home a penalty.

    However, Amad Diallo ensured that Ruben Amorim’s men left with a point, as he tapped in Alejandro Garnacho’s cross. The result means Liverpool remain six points clear of Arsenal with a game in hand.

    Enyimba trash Black Bulls 4-1 in Uyo

    Enyimba Football Club of Aba beat the Black Bulls of Mozambique 4-1 on Sunday in a CAF Confederation Cup match held in the Akwa Ibom State capital. Enyimba, which had lost 3-0 to the Black Bulls in December 2024 in Maputo, recorded an emphatic result to the joy of its fans. The Elephants took the lead in the 6th minute, with Joseph Atule opening the scoring, but a poor defense allowed the visiting team to equalize in the 12th minute through E. Ifoni.

    However, Ifeanyi Ihemekwele restored Enyimba’s lead in the 45th minute, with the first half ending at 2-1. The second half saw Enyimba adopt a more attacking approach in search of additional goals. Their efforts yielded results in the 67th minute, as former Super Eagles striker and new signing Brown Ideye increased Enyimba’s lead to 3-1.

    Victory was sealed for the Elephants in the 89th minute when Joseph Atule scored his second goal of the match, wrapping up the game at 4-1.

    EPL: Opportunity lost – Carragher reacts to Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Man U

    Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has described the team’s 2-2 draw with Manchester United as “an opportunity lost.” The Reds fought back from Lisandro Martinez’s goal to lead 2-1, thanks to Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah.

    Amad Diallo scored a late equaliser for United as they took points off Liverpool for a second consecutive season at Anfield. The result also means Arne Slot’s men failed to extend their lead at the top of the table.

    “It will feel like an opportunity lost for Liverpool,” Carragher said on Sky Sports. “They will have seen Arsenal’s result last night and expected to come into this game and win. “There was too much of a feeling coming into the game that Liverpool would whack Manchester United aside. People were talking about how many goals they were going to score. But it wasn’t to be.”

    The People’s Elephant took the lead after six minutes through Joseph Atule. Ejaita Ifoni, however, equalized for the visitors six minutes later. Ifeanyi Ihemekwele restored the home team’s lead in the 45th minute.

    Ideye increased Enyimba’s lead in the 68th minute, dribbling past Black Bulls goalkeeper before slotting the ball home. Atule got his second of the game on the dot of the 90th minute. Enyimba are now third in Group D standings with four points from four matches.
