1. Israeli police name murderer of family of six

TEL AVIV, November 3 (RIA Novosti) - Israeli police have arrested the murderer of a family of six, a police spokesman told RIA Novosti on Tuesday.

Thirty-eight-year-old Russian immigrant Dmitry Karlik has confessed to killing six members of the Usherenko family, including a three-month-old baby and his four-year-old sister, in Rishon LeZion on October 17.

Karlik (whose surname means 'dwarf' in Russian) hails from Russia's Urals city of Chelyabinsk.

The Usherenkos had moved from Tajikistan and had been running a restaurant. Karlik, a former employee in the family's business, was fired in 2007 over the theft of alcoholic drinks.

Karlik has already confessed to the murder. His wife and sister have also been taken into custody. The latter is suspected of having passed the key from the Usherenkos' house to her brother.

The investigation into the case, one of the most horrific murders in the history of modern Israel, has been under personal control of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Internal Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch.

2. 1.5 million evangelicals march in Brazil

SAO PAULO — About 1.5 million evangelical Christians joined Brazil's annual "March for Jesus" on Monday, an event sponsored by a church whose leaders recently returned after being imprisoned in the U.S. for money smuggling.

Now in its 17th year, the march unites faithful from hundreds of evangelical churches and attracts dozens of Christian bands, preachers and local celebrities.

It is organized by the powerful Reborn in Christ Church, whose leaders said they had hoped to draw 5 million people to gather around a central Sao Paulo plaza where the main stage was located.

Hundreds of thousands followed Estevam Hernandes Filho and his wife, Sonia Haddad Moraes Hernandes, along the 2.5-mile route of the march, and still more gathered at the plaza.

...The couple returned to Brazil in August after serving five months in prison, five months under house arrest in Florida and two months of probation for not declaring $56,000 in cash they were carrying on a flight from Sao Paulo to Miami. The money was hidden a child's backpack and a Bible case, among other bags.
