    Surely there’s a better way to write that title.

      Agreed. Had to click in to understand. Maybe that’s part of the point of bad titles. Anyway, here’s the subtitle which makes more sense:

      A retired US church pastor who presided nearly half a century ago at the funeral of a kidnapped eight-year-old girl has been charged with her murder.

      Not if you’re USian. But apparently ‘politics’ only exists for USians. Confusing, I know. Probably best not to worry about it. If you’re not interested, just scroll on by.

        Malaysian here. If UK news isn’t world news then something horrible must have happened last night.
