        @BBCBreaking The story is so confusing at the moment. In my opinion it needs investigating BEFORE being broadcasted.

        @1LisaThompson was thinking about how vulnerable he must feel when he is in bed. Hence perhaps why he keeps a gun near him. Tragic story

        @martinb9999 so if someone is famous and (allegedly) commits a crime we ignore it because it's celebrity gossip?

        @martinb9999 I'm not being obtuse. I'm taking issue with your accusation that we're only reporting celebrity gossip.
