Normally we get The Sun for a daily dose of useless but entertaining news.Today though,I felt physiaclly sick when I read the piece on the last moments of Ken Bigley where they described the footage of a video depicting his last moments of life and his barbaric murder and how it happened.I felt that there was no need to write about this and describe it in such detail.It was such an awful end to the mans life and although we were all aware how it happened,we dont,I feel need this graphic detail.What do you think?

haven't read it, and won't be doing so. I agree with you - there's no need for such a level of detail, it's just sensationalism. All this after the family specifically requested that the press resepect their privacy ?

I don't read the tabloids because I think their coverage of the news is gratuitous and sensationalist, and I rarely read newspapers/watch news bulletins because they are full of upsetting stories. nell

Paul that wouldn't be the Sunday Sport would it. LOL !!! They should respect the families wishes. I saw the article too but never read it. We don't need reminding of the despicable way that he lost his life. RIP Ken.
