Weekly News no.3

The Daily Mail is a British daily middle-market tabloid newspaper owned by the Daily Mail and General Trust. Initially distributed in 1896 by Lord Northcliffe, it is the United Kingdom's second greatest offering day by day daily paper after The Sun. Its sister paper The Mail on Sunday was dispatched in 1982.

The title of the news article describes how her stepbrother in a gruesome attack murdered the teenage girl, Becky Watts, in her own home. Considering that the attack came from her own step-brother makes this article distinct from the other news articles that are about murder, because it is rarely written about how there are murders which occur in the family itself. This is what makes the article different and tempts the reader into clicking the article. The writer, Richard Spillett , explains how the killer tried to hide the victims remains in an Asda carrier bag, and as we all know, we are very familiar with this which generates a bigger effect on the reader as we all use these supermarkets and this could potentially harm the sales of the giant supermarket chain itself.


The writer of this article makes the article itself seem boring and uninteresting as he keeps on explaining how they discovered the victims remains and just writes about the police and forensics experiences of what they felt and quotes what they say in their opinion. All of this information is displayed in the bodytext of the article.

  1. I like how you gave brief background information on the source of the article, to improve i think you could compare this to a similar event that has happened recently.
