M2 rebel stronghold
Shooter kills
girlfriend, her
parents, two
children and himself
GREENWOOD, S.C. (AP) -
Bryan Sweattwas inthe middle of
a custody fight with his girlfriend
over their 7-month-old daughter
and facing a burglary charge that
could put him in jail for years.
His girlfriend's father had
warned him to stay away from
his house and the dirt track
Sweatt had built in the backyard
for his all-terrain vehicles.
Then on Tuesday afternoon,
Sweatt broke into the parents'
house and waited for them and
the girlfriend to come home,
police said. When they did, Swe-
att fatally shot his girlfriend, her
parents and two children living
there, before turning the gun
on himself, Greenwood County
Sheriff Tony Davis said.
"Once you see a horrific scene
like this it never leaves you. It's
with you day in and day out," he
said.
The victims were identified
as Richard Fields, 51; his wife,
Melissa Fields, 49; their daughter
ChandraFields, 26; andtwoofthe
couple's grandchildren who lived
with them: William Robinson, 9;
and Tariq Robinson, 11.
Davis didn't specify a motive
for the shootings, but said it
appears they stemmed from a
"domestic violence situation."
He said Sweatt felt that Chan-
dra Fields wasn't allowing him
to see their infant child often
enough. The girl was not among
the dead.
He said that Sweatt had called
911 while he was in the Fields'
house, stating that he was on the
edge and contemplating suicide,
before hanging up.
It's unclear how many - if any
- victims had been shot before
he made the call at 5:54 p.m.
Tuesday. A police report said a
dispatcher heard a woman in the
background say: "Do not point
that at me" before the call was
disconnected,
Sweatt allowed four children
to escape - his 7-month-old
daughter, the infant's cousin and
two neighborhood children who
came to the door after school to
play with the Fields' grandchil-
dren.
No one knows why Sweatt let
them live and shot the others,
Davis said.
"I cannot tell you at this point
that I have all the answers for
you," he said.
While they're still searching
for clues, one thing is clear: Swe-
att's life was spinning out of con-
trol.
Sweatt has a lengthy arrest
record that dates back nearly a
decade, according to state police
records. Most of his charges were
related to property crimes, such
as burglary or forgery, although
he was arrested once on aggra-
vated assault charges.

line.
The events of the last few days
mark a stunning turnaround for
the Congolese troops, who have
long been plagued by indisci-
pline and corruption among their
ranks, making them no match
for groups like M23, which until
recently was allegedly backed by
neighboring Rwanda.
M23 launched its movement
inApril 2012,becomingthelatest
reincarnation of an ethnic Tutsi
rebel group dissatisfied with the
Congolese government. Neigh-
boring Rwanda, whose president
is also an ethnic Tutsi, provided
weapons, recruits and training
to the M23, according to a report
by U.N experts. Rwanda's gov-
ernment denies the allegations,
saying Congo's government has
failed to police its territory.
The group has been substan-
tially weakened in the past year
by internal divisions and wan-
ing Rwandan support, according
to the U.N. Defections from the
M23 are up this month, total-
ing 80 in October. Thirty-three
surrendered alone on Tuesday,
according to chief U.N. spokes-
man Martin Nesirky.
The Congolese military has
capitalized on these rebel set-
backs by pushing ahead with
new offensives beginning in
August that have been support-
ed by a specially created United
Nations Intervention Brigade.
Second mistress in doctor's
murder trial takes, the stand
Utah man accused
of inducing his
wife's heart attack
to be with lover
PROVO, Utah (AP) - Another
mistress of a former Utah doctor
accused of killing his wife testi-
fied Wednesdaythathe had once
described how he could induce
a heart attack in someone that
would appear natural. .
Anna Walthall took the wit-
ness stand and said she began a
six-month affair with defendant
Martin MacNeill in 2005 when
he was a consulting doctor at a
laser hair removal clinic that she
operated.,
MacNeill described the heart
attack method during "pillow
talk," she said.
Walthall quoted MacNeill as
saying, "'There's something you
can give someone that's natu-
ral that's a heart attack that's
not detectable after they have a
heart attack."'
No cause of death has been
determined for Michele Mac-
Neill.
Defense lawyers have argued
that she had a heart attack and
fell into a bathtub in April 2007
in the family home in Pleasant
Grove, about 35 miles south of
Salt Lake City.
Defense lawyers challenged
Walthall by getting her to
acknowledge she had been diag-
nosed with what was formerly
called multiple personality dis-
order, but she insisted she was
giving a true account'of Martin
MacNeill's statement.
Earlier in the day, two daugh-
ters of the MacNeills testi-
fied that their father had hired
another mistress, Gypsy Willis,
as a nanny soon after his wife
died, but Willis did not cook or
take care of the children and
went to their father's bedroom
at night.
Sabrina MacNeill, 19, testified
that Willis didn't do anything a
nanny would be expected to do.
"She made spaghetti once,
and that was the only time she
cooked," said Sabrina MacNeill.
"She didn't do anything."
Another daughter, Alexis
Somers, testified that Willis
would come and go through-
out the day, seemingly more
focused on the doctor than the
children.
Prosecutors say Martin Mac-
Neill, 57, hounded his wife,
Michele MacNeill, to get cos-
metic surgery then knocked her
out with painkillers and left-her
to die in a bathtub. His motive,
they said, was to get rid of his
wife so he could be with Willis.

Revelations of
surveillance of E.U.
officials "shatters"
trust in negotiations
BRUSSELS (AP) - The back-
lash in Europe over U.S. spying
is threatening an agreement
that generates tens of billions of
dollars in trans-Atlantic busi-
ness every year - and nego-
tiations on another pact worth
many times more.
A growing number of Euro-
pean officials are calling for
the suspension of the "Safe
Harbor" agreement that lets
U.S. companies process com-
mercial and personal data -
sales, emails, photos - from
customers in Europe. This
little-known but vital deal
allows more than 4,200 Ameri-
can companies to do business
in Europe, including Internet
giants like Apple, Google, Face-
book and Amazon.
Revelations of the extent of
U.S. spying on its European
allies is also threatening to
undermine one of President
Barack Obama's top trans-
Atlantic goals: a sweeping free-
trade agreement that would add
an estimated $138 billion (100
billion euros) a year to each
economy's gross domestic prod-
uct.
Top EU officials say the trust
needed for the negotiations has
been shattered..
"For ambitious and com-
plex negotiations to succeed,
there needs to be trust among
the negotiating partners," EU
Justice Commissioner Viviane
Reding said Wednesday in a
speech at Yale University.
At the very least, the Euro-
peans are expected to demand
that the U.S. significantly
strengthen its privacy laws to
give consumers much more
control over how companies
use their personal data - and
extend those rights to Europe-
an citizens, maybe even giving
them the right to sue American
companies in U.S. courts.
The Europeans had long been
pressing these issues with the
Americans. But since former
National Security Agency con-
tractor Edward Snowden began
to leak surprising details on the
extent of U.S. surveillance in
Europe, the European demands
have grown teeth.
"I don't think the U.S. gov-
ernment can be convinced by
arguments or outrage alone,
but by making it clear that
American interests will suf-
fer if this global surveillance is
simply continued," said Peter
Schaar, the head of Germany's
data protection watchdog.
One sanction the European
Union could slap on the U.S.
would be to suspend the Safe
Harbor deal, which allows
American businesses to store
and process their data where
they want. It aims to ensure that
European customers' data are
just as safe as in Europe when
handled in-the U.S.
"But if you look at the U.S.
legal environment, there is no
adequate legal protection for
EU citizens," said the European
Parliament's leading data pro-
tection lawmaker Jan Philipp
Albrecht after talks with U.S.
officials in Washington.
