    Break-ups are ugly. But not every tale of spurn love ends with a Mercedes sitting at the bottom of a swimming pool.

    Russian-born model Kristina Kuchma, who was dumped by prominent banker Guy Gentile, 41, did just that, driving her ex-lover’s car into the pool in his backyard, reported the New York Post.

    The couple was at dinner near his Bahamas home with a friend, when Miss Kuchma, 24, said she was “pregnant” – not with a child, but with a business idea.

    She asked Mr Gentile, who runs a Bahamas-based brokerage, for a funding of US$50,000 (S$67,500) to start a marketing business.

    Mr Gentile, who was involved in a Wall Street pump-and-dump scheme in 2007 but became an FBI informant to beat the charges, then decided to end their year and a half-long relationship, according to the Post.

    A woman died in her husband’s arms after hiding in a swimming pool to try and escape from the devastating wildfires that have struck northern California.

    Armando and Carmen Berriz took shelter in the pool, floating with their mouths and noses poking out of the water to breathe.

    The blaze encircled them and sadly after several hours in the pool Ms Berriz, 75, died.

    Mr Berriz, 76, suffered burns from holding onto the edge of the pool but managed to climb out alive.

    The couple had been married for 55 years and were staying in a hilltop rental house in Santa Rosa on holiday with their children and grandchildren.
