DUBLIN — A Fremont man was sentenced to 40 years to life in prison for second-degree murder, but not until after he heard from a long line of his victim’s friends and family, including the victim’s young daughter who lamented the loss of “my best friend in the whole world.”Kamalpreet Singh, 30, was sentenced May 18 by Judge Paul Delucchi, who called Singh a cold-blooded killer and a liar beforehand.

Belgian coach Tedesco ‘shocked’ after goalkeeper Courtois leaves squad amid captaincy row

BRUSSELS (AP) — The Belgian press already calls it “Courtoisgate.”And new Belgium coach Domenico Tedesco says learning about it was a shock. Thibaut Courtois’ decision to leave Belgium’s training camp ahead of a European Championship qualifier for not being selected as captain plunged the squad into crisis mode on Monday, only six months after its pitiful exit from the World Cup.Courtois abruptly left camp and will miss the match in Estonia on Tuesday apparently because he doesn’t feel he’s recognized for his true worth.“I’m still surprised and shocked of course, because we did not expect that something like this can happen,” Tedesco said in Estonia.Courtois, who played on Saturday in the 1-1 draw against Austria, was disappointed with Tedesco’s handling of the captaincy.In the absence of midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, who was injured in the Champions League final, Tedesco gave the captaincy to striker Romelu Lukaku, who responded by scoring Belgium&...
