A former colleague has just been interviewed saying how guilty she feels for not telling the police when he said he killed someone. He said he was joking. Why do people give interviews about things like this? What is there to be achieved by it? Talk to the police, and preferably not 6 years later, but the wider public don't need to know.

their 15 minutes?

I was thinking that too, and maybe ££££

But why do the news editors allow it?

Completely disrespectful to the poor girls family imo.

I agree, news editors allow it because it adds more bulk to a story!

It is amazing how many people come crawling out of the woodwork when something like this happens, same as when someone is killed and it is a high profile story, suddenly the world and his mother knows them!!

I have given up watching the news - I really hate the way family members, friends, neighbours, etc are interviewed and given their 15 minutes.

I reckon it is just cheaper than having some researchers put a proper story together. We already know some people will be bereaved and others feel guilty.
