Is it really necessary to use such wrongful words as "Killer caged" in a newsbill to describe Mark Dyson after he was cleared of the murder of the shameful low-life Derek Finch, who clearly deserved such an ending to the wicked, underhand lifestyle he chose to lead?

Personal drug abuse led him to his ugly ending, not the hands of another man.

-* Editor's note: Dyson admitted the manslaughter of Mr Finch at Lewes Crown Court.
