    Cheshire Constabulary Det Ch Supt Mike said "At this time, there is no evidence to suggest that the circumstances surrounding Brianna's death are hate related"

    Nowhere in the article does it say why anyone might suspect that as a possibility :ukkk:

    All the linked articles are the same way

        That is really important context that a responsible journalist would include in the article. "No evidence to suggest," huh?
