Travellers have come up with a series of bizarre conspiracy theories related to a mist sprayed inside plane cabins before landing in Australia. The spray (pictured) is frequently used on aircraft flying in from Asia, and its dispersal is sometimes acknowledged with an explanation announcement. Some passengers have expressed their concerns about the spray, saying they don't know what it is or what purpose it serves (inset).

A much-loved milk bar (pictured) that once sold lollies and other goodies has hit the market after being converted into a three bedroom home. The circa-1894 local landmark in Flemington, Melbourne, originally operated as a grocer and has retained its charming 'milk bar aesthetic'.

NEW Krestina (bottom left), Maria (bottom centre) and Angelina Khachaturyan (bottom right and inset) are currently facing murder charges for stabbing father Mikhail (together with Angelina, top right) to death in Moscow last year, but prosecutors are now expected to drop the case. The move comes after lawyers uncovered evidence of years of sexual and physical abuse - including that he raped Krestina and Angelina (pictured top left after a beating) while they were underage, and slashed Maria with a knife. Lawyers are also expected to posthumously charge Mikhail with paedophile crimes in recognition of the years of abuse the girls suffered.

Greens founder Bob Brown and the Australian Greens believed they had found their new Franklin River - and a way to decide Australia's federal election and demonise coal forever. The successful fight to stop the Franklin River dam in Tasmania in 1982 is widely seen as kick-starting the environment movement in Australia. Almost three decades on, Brown and his greenie pals (right) believed the 2,000km convoy into Queensland's coal heartland would be a similar watershed moment. But the wilderness of Tasmania's south-west is a far different proposition to marching through proud coal mining communities of central Queensland (left) - many suffering from unemployment rates of 15 per cent. When the convoy entered their towns, locals turned out in droves to tell the greenies to go home - and then made their fury at the ballot box.

A man who drove with dysfunctional car brakes and killed his girlfriend's 16-year-old sister now lives life as a recluse who cries himself to sleep every night.

Ian Huntley (left) made five key errors which saw him face justice over the murders of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman (top), a new TV documentary has revealed. The 45-year-old school caretaker killed the ten-year-old girls at his home (centre) in Soham, Cambridgeshire, in August 2002, in a case that shocked Britain. Now, a new Channel 5 programme has revealed the five mistakes Huntley made - which included asking a police officer how long DNA lasted for, switching off Jessica’s on the day she vanished at his house (top right), and getting new tyres put on his old Ford Fiesta (bottom right) after dumping their bodies in woodland. The documentary also sees police admit the haunting photograph they issued of the girls wearing matching Manchester United shirts was a mistake, because it prompted global public interest that put the investigation under huge pressure.

A thrifty shopper has revealed how she saves up to $10,000 a year on her grocery bills just by shopping at a certain time of the day.

Ms Bertram - who shops at Coles and Woolworths - said the secret to getting the best supermarket deals was working out the 'golden hour' at your local store.

(Pictured left, Coralynn before she was ill, and right, nurses in the hospital as Coralynn is wheeled into surgery).

A woman in a stolen RV led authorities on a wild chase in Los Angeles on Tuesday, smashing into cars and a palm tree before finally coming to a halt with a large dog hanging out of the shattered windshield. The half-hour chase began around 7pm in Santa Clarita, just north of L.A., when the RV failed to yield for the California Highway Patrol. Video showed the RV careening at speeds of up to 60 mph from Santa Clarita into the San Fernando Valley. The RV hit several cars and then a palm tree in a shopping mall parking lot that tore off the passenger-side door and wrecked the front end, leaving the windshield dangling on the hood. Eventually the female driver lost control of the vehicle. The woman got out and ran with the dog following her but she was quickly tackled by authorities.

Michael Haim (left), 52, of Florida, has been sentenced to life in prison for the 1993 murder of his wife - five years after his son discovered her skull in the backyard of his childhood home. Haim was convicted last month of second-degree murder. He will live out the rest of his life in prison for the gruesome slaying of his 23-year-old wife Bonnie Haim (top right, with their son), who would have turned 50 years old on Monday. Their son, Aaron Fraser (bottom right), helped implicate him in the murder after he moved back home in 2014 where he and his brother-in-law found the remains of his mother's body. Fraser was three years old when his mother disappeared. At the time, Fraser tried to tell police that his 'daddy hurt mommy', but no one believed him and no physical evidence tied his father to the crime. Haim had maintained that he was not involved with his wife's death. During his trial he even testified: 'I love my wife, and I would’ve never hurt my wife.' Following the sentence on Tuesday, Bonnie's sister, Liz Peak, said: 'For 26 years, we wanted justice. And now we have it. We got justice. But we don't have Bonnie.'

Aran Katarina Kirschenmann, the American girlfriend of Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen's son, Bergur, is being kicked out of the country due to the country's stringent immigration laws. Bergur will be forced to take a temporary split from his Harvard-educated girlfriend, who has to leave the country by the end of the month. The 22-year-old social media star is too young to seek residence under Danish immigration laws. Because Kirschenmann is under the age of 24, she's not eligible to remain in Denmark following the 2002 passage of a law that was intended to end the automatic right of entry of a spouse. Kirschenmann has been living in Denmark as part of her Harvard University studies.
