Double Murder Chelmsford

Apparently a woman has been charged with a double murder (parents maybe) - but there are no picture of the accused. Anyone else find this weird, or have I become an overly-suspicious harridan? Violent murder doesn't seem like a female crime...

I thought the same. Of course, it might be accurate but I've seen enough nonsense to know it might be false.

I have to say now, as in late 2023, I do think it's a woman. I think journalists have got a lot cannier on how to report this - more likely to say 'a 52-year-old has been arrested' or something like that.

Yes, me too. If an article says a 'woman' has committed a crime, particularly one that is atypical for an actual woman, I'm immediately sceptical. This case, fuck knows!

I had the same thought. Mostly because I know think "woman woman, or man woman" every single time I see a crime reported in the news.

I really bloody hate that I can't actually get factual information from any news source on the basic facts.

This might well be an actual woman. But it might also be a male who IDs as a woman.

Ten years ago I wouldn't have had to wonder about that.

Oops 😬 I realise that might read as snarky and I really didn’t intend it to. Sorry

Of course it’s possible. Murder is always violent.
