Teen starving for an invite to the royal wedding.

MEXICO CITY - A Mexican teenager is staging a hunger strike outside the British Embassy in Mexico City in a bid to secure an invitation to the wedding of Britain's Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Estibalis Chavez, 19, said she had not eaten for the past eight days and was living on just water as she camps in a blue tent near the gates to the embassy.
"Are they going to let me die just because they wouldn't give me an invitation to the royal wedding?" Chavez wrote on one of the flyers she has plastered near the entrance to the colonial-style building.
"This is my only dream," read another flyer next to a picture of the smiling royal couple who will marry at London's Westminster Abbey on April 29.
The embassy could not immediately be reached for comment.
The diminutive Chavez, wearing braces, pigtails and glasses, said Thursday the late Princess Diana, Prince William's mother, had inspired her campaign.
"I think she was one of the most interesting women in history, and one of the best and most beautiful," she said.
"My mother was a big fan of Lady Di too and she died when I was born, so I promised myself I would attend her son's wedding," added Chavez, who has also taken her cause to the Facebook social networking site.
"The embassy could talk to Britain for me but they haven't," she said. "But I'm going to stay here until I can't go on."

Gunpoint robbery at Tecumseh Pharmacy

TECUMSEH, Ont. -- Three Lakeshore men are in custody after a gunpoint robbery at a drugstore in Tecumseh Thursday afternoon.
Essex OPP said two men wearing disguises entered the pharmacy at 12140 Tecumseh Rd. brandishing handguns — which may have been replicas — and demanded OxyContin.
The men made off with about 1,800 tablets and, as they took off in their Chevy Blazer with a third man, the store employee took note of its description and provided the information to police, who gave chase.
One of the three robbers jumped out of the Blazer at County Road 22 and Brighton Road, where he was immediately arrested.
The other two suspects abandoned their vehicle in a nearby residential area and fled on foot to a convenience store, where they were also arrested.
The three men, aged 33, 31 and 29, are facing charges including using a firearm in the commission of an offence, flight from police and disguise with intent.

Trial date set for Oxford County murder.

WOODSTOCK — A trial date has been set for accused killer John Douglas Robinson but it is still uncertain whether it will take place in Oxford County.
Robinson, who is charged with the first-degree murder and dismemberment of 26-year-old Clifford Fair, will stand trial beginning on Nov. 7, 2011.
The trial is expected to last five weeks, starting with a week to review applications.
In July the Crown attorney’s office will also face applications from Robinson’s defence designed to change the location of the trial and quash the direct indictment of Robinson by the Attorney General’s office.
Last June murder charges were dismissed against Robinson after the presiding judge found “insufficient evidence” linking his actions to the death of 26-year-old Clifford Fair.
On June 29 the Attorney General overturned that decision through a direct indictment.
Fair’s remains were discovered buried in the backyard of the Princess St. home where Robinson was a tenant in November 2008.
The investigation into Fair’s disappearance began on Oct. 18, 2008, when Pauline Fair, Clifford Fair’s mother, reported to Woodstock police her son was missing.
According to a judicial summary, Pauline Fair said she had last seen Clifford Fair when he had visited his six-year-old son at her Woodstock home on Sept. 18.
After interviewing his roommate and employer, police later learned Clifford Fair had not been seen since late September 2008.
The Oxford Community Police Service later received a phone call on Nov. 18, 2008, from a man claiming to have information about an alleged homicide. Police learned that Amy Gilbert- Cassidy, Robinson’s former domestic partner, had disclosed to some people that she had a connection to the case, the judicial statement said.
Gilbert-Cassidy pleaded guilty in June 2009 to being an accessory to the alleged murder of Fair and was sentenced to a total of 31 months in prison. With the two-for-one credit given for the time she spent in pre-sentencing custody, she received a total sentence of 10 months.
