Editor wanted: apply immediately!
"XXX is due to start legal proceedings to clear his name of the crime which he was convicted of and served a prison sentence in 2011."
Marcy?
This is clearly a typo, but it has remained uncorrected for some twelve hours, despite comments from readers:
"In Marcy 2002, the former prison officer paddled out to sea in a canoe at Seaton Carew, near Hartlepool, before ditching the vessel to give the impression that he drowned."
The piece goes on:
"He and his partner in crime ex-wife XXX (left), who both hid the news from their two sons, used the money to travel around the world and buy several properties in Panama."
Why not simply "ex-wife XXX (left) hid the news ... and used the money ..."? Surely "their" implies both of them?
