US: A man named Moses Gibson aged 41 from Minnesota, spent extravagantly around $1,70,000 to increase his height by five inches through two leg-lengthening surgeries.

Gibson’s dating life was not so colorful because of his 5-foot-5-inch frame. He tried various things including medication and a spiritual healer to increase his height.

Mr. Gibson in talk with Kennedy News and Media said, "I just didn't feel good about myself”.

Further, he said he was subjected to “heightism”.

He tried all possible ways to increase his height, he took pills that promised to make him taller, and spoke to a spiritual healer who told him that he could increase his height if he properly put his mind to it. But none worked and that is when he decided to go for a pricey and painful leg-lengthening surgery.

“I was unhappy about it most of the time, it was my self-confidence in general, and with the ladies. It affected my dating life. I used to put things in my shoes to gain a little bit of height, but it wasn't very much”, said Mr. Gibson.

According to the reports, Gibson underwent his first surgery in the year 2016 which added 3 inches to his height.

He managed to save $75,000 for the surgery by working as a software engineer and an Uber driver for three years.

After the first procedure, I was happy with it to some extent, but it was always in my mind that I wanted to do a second one to complete it." the man shared. "I'm a high achiever. I've got the money and I can finish the journey."

In March 2023 Gibson underwent second surgery which added 2 inches to his height, he spent $98,000.

"I'll be happy at 5-foot-10," he declared. "But if my body and everything else allows me to go 3 inches to get to 5-foot-11, then even better!", said Gibson.

Addressing the media, Gibson said that the surgeries have boosted his confidence to talk to women.

After the first surgery, I became less hesitant and less worried about the result when talking to women. I now have a girlfriend," he proudly proclaimed. "I also started wearing shorts and taking full-body pictures, which I never used to.

He further said, "In my mind, when I'm done with this part I can just be free," he said of the extra inches he's expected to gain following the second procedure. "I just won't care about my height anymore. I'll be satisfied with what I have."

Mr. Gibson does not regret his decision to a pricey and painful leg-lengthening surgery.

Ranchi (PTI): A 25-year-old man, who works as a butcher, allegedly strangled to death his live-in partner and chopped her body into 40 to 50 pieces in a forested area in Jharkhand’s Khunti district, police said on Wednesday.

The accused, identified as Naresh Bhengra, was arrested.

The matter came to light after around a fortnight after the killing when a stray dog was found with human body parts near Jordag village in Jariagarh police station on November 24.

Bhengra was in a live-in relationship with the deceased, a 24-year-old woman also from Khunti district, in Tamil Nadu for the past couple of years. Sometime back, he returned to Jharkhand, got married to another woman without telling his partner anything and went back to the southern state without his wife to join her.

"The brutal incident occurred on November 8 when they reached Khunti as the accused who had married another woman did not wish to take her home. Instead, he took her to a forest near his house at Jordag village in Jariagarh police station and chopped the body into pieces. The man has been arrested," Khunti Superintendent of Police Aman Kumar told PTI.

Inspector Ashok Singh who investigated the case said the man worked in a butcher shop in Tamil Nadu and was expert in slicing chicken.

“He admitted chopping the body parts of the woman into 40 to 50 pieces before leaving those in the forest for wild animals to feast on. The police recovered several parts on November 24 after a dog in the area was seen with a hand," Singh told PTI.

Singh said that the woman, who was unaware of his marriage, pressured him to return to Khunti. After reaching Ranchi, they boarded a train on November 24 and headed to the man's village.

"Under a plan, the man took her to Khunti in an autorickshaw near his home and asked her to wait. He returned with sharp weapons and strangulated her with her dupatta after raping her. He then cut the body into 40 to 50 pieces and left for his home to live with his wife," Singh said.

The woman, however, had informed her mother that she had boarded a train and would be living with her partner, the police officer said.

Following the recovery of body parts, a bag was also found in the forest with the murdered woman's belongings including her Aadhaar card. The mother of the woman was called at the spot and she identified her daughter's belongings.

"The mother suspected the man behind the crime who after being nabbed by the police admitted to chopping the woman into pieces," the official added.

The incident has sent shockwaves among people in the region, with the Shraddha Walker murder case of 2022 still fresh in their memory.

Walker was killed by her live-in partner who chopped her body into pieces before dumping them in the jungle in South Delhi’s Mehrauli.
