You'd wish he were an imaginary Detective Inspector. Sadly, however, it seems he's all too real.
Hardly surprising when a Qld newspaper announced ‘NRL star, wife and children killed in a car fire. “.
Anyone who heard Her family on a current affair tonight must surely not see it that way.
And yes David I’m glad he’s in Hell for eternity. But it’s not enough suffering for him.
You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either!

So fkn humerous. The title has all the funny in it, you don't actually need to read the "article".
Did you fall off your bike and hit your head? If your main news sources are the Guardian and the beetroota advocate, you're a candidate for involuntary admission to a palliative care ward
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

The question isn’t about whether the police knew, it’s about whether the media knew. For better or for worse, news outlets tend to rush to report as soon as they have any information, and (if they’re being responsible) early headlines will tend to err on the side of caution. I think very little of some of these outlets in general, but even I find it utterly implausible that they would have gone with the "NRL star dies" headline if it had already been conclusively established that he’d murdered his family.

Allegedly

I think it's fairly well established, there'll be no trial obviously, so is it still necessary to use "alleged"?
I do remember seeing a story about a dismembered body found in someone's boot.. story said "the alleged victim"... no, I think it's pretty clear that they are the victim!

Yeah, I saw an article basically about the evolution of a news story, how it goes through the stages as more info comes to light.
You're correct in your assumption

Quite! It was definitely a fact, I thought it was funny to put after David’s post.

Last Thursday afternoon, very disturbing event was a murder/suicide 2 doors down from my daughter and her partners house. Outer S.E. suburb, no media whatsoever, up to 20 police, detectives on site.
From what has leaked is that the rrsehole partner has killed his partner, then attempted to hang her to look like suicide before knocking himself off.
This sort of stuff would normally receive media attention and makes me wonder how many other murder/suicides are kept quiet. I do understand stand alone suicides are not publicised for obvious reasons.
Don't want to sound flippant, this has distressed my daughter and we are all rather shocked.
Generally a murder gets reported. Given how the news media works as covered previously, initial reports may have been about a double suicide which would have scared the media off. By the time it becomes clearer, the dogs are barking but the caravan has moved on

Goodness me.
