Illinois man orders custom beer-can coffin

Bill Bramanti will love Pabst Blue Ribbon eternally, and he's got the custom-made beer-can casket to prove it.

"I actually fit, because I got in here," said Bramanti of South Chicago Heights.

The 67-year-old Glenwood village administrator doesn't plan on needing it anytime soon, though.

He threw a party Saturday for friends and filled his silver coffin — designed in Pabst's colors of red, white and blue — with ice and his favorite brew.

"Why put such a great novelty piece up on a shelf in storage when you could use it only the way Bill Bramanti would use it?" said Bramanti's daughter, Cathy Bramanti, 42.

Bramanti ordered the casket from Panozzo Bros. Funeral Home in Chicago Heights, and Scott Sign Co. of Chicago Heights designed the beer can.

From the CooCoo Dept: Man confessed his murder to cats

LONDON (AP) - A retiree who allegedly confessed to a pair of cats that he had beaten his partner to death was cleared of murder Friday.

David Henton, 73, was accused of killing Joyce Sutton at her home near Neath, in south Wales, in January 2006.

He was arrested after police bugged his car and home and believed they heard him confessing to Sutton's pet cats, Twinkie and Pudsey.

The recording played to the jury was of poor quality, and Henton's lawyers maintained he was saying something else.

The jury also found him not guilty of manslaughter following a seven-week trial.

Henton and Sutton had separate homes despite a long relationship, but saw each other every day.

Henton testified that the cats knew who killed Sutton.

"To me, Joyce's heart is still in those cats," he said. "They would say what happened that night. I have said it before: If only those cats could talk."
