Atlanta (Georgia, US), Nov. 25: A Keralite based in Sacramento, California, who was accused of fatally shooting two people, including his estranged wife, in a New Jersey church, was captured late Monday in Georgia.

New Jersey District U. S. Marshal James Plousis said Joseph "Sanish" Pallipurath was captured around midnight Monday in Monroe, east of Atlanta.

According to the Sacramento Bee, the manhunt for Pallipurath was centered on Georgia because the suspect has relatives in the area, authorities said.

Police said Pallipurath, 27, gunned down three people, including his estranged wife, Reshma James, at the St. Thomas Syrian Orthodox Knanaya Church in Clifton, New Jersey, a suburb about 15 miles west of Manhattan.

London, Nov 25: A natural oil from Himalayan oregano can help wipe out deadly hospital superbug MRSA, according to a new research.

Boffins have discovered that the herb, commonly used in cooking, could eradicate the deadly infection from hospital wards.

Tiny quantities of carvacrol, a naturally occurring compound in Himalyan oregano, were found to be a more effective antimicrobial agent than 18 pharmaceutical drugs, investigators found.

University of the West of England researchers, working with partners in India, said carvacrol, which contains potent anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties, has a range of medicinal uses.

The discovery could lead to a new defence in the fight against hospital infection.

Kampala- It may not be quite as bad as the Three Bears returning home to find Goldilocks sleeping in one of their beds, but Ugandan villagers returning to the villages they abandoned during the East African nation's civil war are being met with a rather large surprise.

"Elephants are moving into the villages," says Sam Mwandha, operations director for the state-owned Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA).

Much of Uganda's northern region lies in the so-called elephant corridor, a vast tropical flat terrain that adjoins southern Sudan.
