Dindeleux Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 A couple of days ago there was a story (front page) in all the papers about a young guy who had found a headless corpse in a park in Glasgow. However the following day the story was completely ignored and there isn't any listing of it anywhere at all on bbc etc. Is this a case of the police asking the media not to report and, if it is, why would they do it in this case?

It was all over the front page of every paper on Wednesday when I was in the petrol station. I then was looking on BBC Scottish news yesterday to find out more and couldn't see anything. So I googled it and only the Sun headline came up. Really weird. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/2811189/teen-tormented-headless-corpse-tent-glasgow-play-park/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim McLean's Ghost Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Still available on the Sun website https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/2811189/teen-tormented-headless-corpse-tent-glasgow-play-park/ Other pages seem to have been scrubbed right enough.

Dindeleux Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 If you google news it you literally only get 1 result which is from The Sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dindeleux Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 Ah so I've just checked on twitter and it seems the body was found at Hogarth Park and not Cranhill which might explain the lack of results but still you would expect this to be in the news every day https://www.scotsman.com/news/police-unable-to-identify-badly-decomposed-body-found-in-glasgow-park-1-4757386 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milnzo Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Someone was found killed in Dingwall yesterday and as yet nothing has appeared in any media. Good and bad news days, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a lot of stuff happens that doesn't get much media attention. A friend's mum was a court stenographer or whatever she used to tell us about things and they wouldn't appear in the news.

paranoid android Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I mind a few years ago I saw a story about a guy getting crucified in Belfast - I was horrified by this, and asked my brother, who lived in N Ireland at the time, about it - he said crucifixions weren't that unusual in Ireland at the time, so weren't widely reported - that was only about 15 years ago, so not even at the height of the troubles.

Bold Rover Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Are the newspapers (and other media) under the control of the police, then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oooooft Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Under control of the Courts, not the Police. I assume the politzi are following a line of enquiry and pulling a Southgate in fitba terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens all the time. One from years ago was the woman found dead 14 up in a high flat in Maryhill. Story hits the press blah blah blah. Same time one week later, 15 up in a the same high flat in Maryhill, another woman found dead. This time it's big news and the press start mentioning Witness Protection. The case was never heard of again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man bites dug = news. Heidless corpse turns up in the murder capital of Scotland = not news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
