LT NEWS IS REALLY SCRAPPING THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL
Scraping
Sorry
“has been brutally murdered by a man identified as Boas Ndanji a Zambian national aged 23 years of Chief Mumena”
Murder can only be proclaimed by a court of law. Report properly. It is “allegedly murdered” until there’s a conviction
Your so called editing is also partially wrong again. The man was killed or murdered, no questions about it according to assessment based on physical evidence. The term,”allegedly’ is supposed to be applied in relation to the accused. That, heos alleged
You can start splitting hairs as much as you like the sentence quoted above can never be passed by an editor for publishing. For three reasons: 1It identifies the accused-as a convict- 2 determines this must have been a murder 3 The murder must have been committed by the accused. Its not always that when a person is killed it is murder.
