      1. How do you strangle and drown your wife but still get celebrated by the press? The simple answer is that you be one of the gang and work for a British tabloid. This is the story of John Kay and the British media.https://twitter.com/danwaddell/status/1391323503631155201 …

      I can’t help but notice that this tribute to veteran Sun reporter John Kay omits an important event in his life - the time he murdered his wife pic.twitter.com/Gic1fpzFFx

      2. In 1977, John Kay, a reporter recently elevated to an editorial post at The Sun, a leading British tabloid, strangled and drowned his wife Harue. He claimed a bout of insanity. His employer took up his cause and hired an eminent lawyer to defend Kay, who got a lesser sentence

          3. The Sun didn't just pay for Kay's legal defense. They assured the court there would always be a job for Kay at the paper. After a brief stint of psychiatric care, he was back at the paper as one of their star (and highest paid) reporters.

          4. Kay died on Friday and the Sun ran an amazing obituary that praised him to the sky ("The legendary Sun reporter who broke Fleet Street’s biggest stories" "Mate [sic] of everybody") and, mindbogglingly, didn't mention that he killed another human being.
