I purposefully chose a topic title that would not give a clue to what it relates to.
So what does this headline mean to you, tucked away in the Wales - South-East section of the BBC website, besides they've made a spelling mistake?
Yaseen Ali Ege death: Father Yousuf Ege 'unusally calm'
The other 'related story' linked to in the article has this as the headline:
Yaseen Ali Ege death: Parents Sara and Yousuf accused
Before I relate any more about the details of this story, just contrast it with another incident, this time placed as the lead headline in the England section of the website, and also included in the main UK page.
Here the headline is:
Rio Smedley murder: Daniel Rigby jailed for killing toddler
The related stories linked to in this article are:
To understand what the first incident is about I'll give you the Daily Mail headline and introductory passages:
Here though is what the BBC tell you about it:
So apart from the penultimate sentence, where 'Allah' is mentioned, there's no other reference to the Islamic nature of this crime.
It also appears that the BBC has no problem using 'murder' to inform about this crime, when it concerns other non-Islamic scum, but prefers to call it a more neutral 'death' when it does. Like something that could happen from natural causes, or due to negligence, instead of an act of sick, twisted, psychopathic barbarians.
The story itself is sickening. The BBC attempt to cover it up makes it doubly so. One has to wonder how much this type of sickness would have to occur for them to address it properly, if ever.

- Boy 'suffered extreme violence'
- Toddler 'was not injured' by dogs
- Boy 'murdered by mum's boyfriend'
To understand what the first incident is about I'll give you the Daily Mail headline and introductory passages:
Mother 'beat son, 7, to death then set fire to his body' because he struggled to learn the Koran off by heart
- Sara Ege, 32, is accused of beating her son Yaseen to death because he was struggling with his Islamic studies, then setting fire to his body
- The boy's death was treated as an accident until a post-mortem examination revealed Yaseen died before the blaze broke out at the family home in Cardiff
- Cardiff Crown Court was told Ege beat Yaseen with a stick and a hammer and locked him in a shed when he failed to recite Koran passages
- The 32-year-old denies murdering her son and burning his body to destroy the evidence
Here though is what the BBC tell you about it:
Yaseen Ali Ege death: Father Yousuf Ege 'unusally calm'
Yaseen Ali Ege, seven, died from his injuries in 2010
A father charged in connection with his son's death death appeared "unusually calm" at the scene, a court has heard.
Cardiff Crown Court heard from a firefighter called to an address in the city where the badly-burned body of Yaseen Ali Ege, seven, was found.
Sara Ege, 33, denies beating her son to death and setting fire to his body.
The boy's father, Yousuf Ege, 38, denies a charge of causing the boy's death by failing to protect him. The trial continues.
The jury heard how firefighters were called at 18:30 BST on 12 July, 2010, to reports of a blaze, and arrived within four minutes.
Richard Higson, the crew's driver, said the boy's body was "very rigid, unusually so".
He said the body was also hot, and the whole situation "didn't seem to add up...things were not usual".
He said that when Yaseen's father arrived at the scene, Sara Ege said: "He's burnt. He's burnt. He's actually burnt".
Yousuf Ali Ege, he said, replied with something like: "But is he alive?"
Mr Higson told the court Yaseen appeared to be dead, but he did not tell the parents and was trying to be "very discreet".
He told the court the father "in my opinion appeared unusually calm".
The firefighter had the impression Sara Ege knew her son was dead, the court heard.
Under cross examination by Mr Ege's barrister, Maura McGowan QC, Mr Higson was asked what people are usually like in a similar situation.
"Most people would be hysterical I think," he said.
Asked if he had come across someone else that reacted calmly like Mr Ege, he replied: "No, to be honest, no."
"Not in 15 years of experience?" she asked.
"Never in 15 years. No," he replied.
Mr Higson told court he could see in Sara Ege's eyes that she knew her son was dead, but "she didn't want to vocalise it, and accept that her child was dead".
The first paramedic at the scene, Chris Willis, described seeing a firefighter conducting CPR on Yaseen's badly-burned body.
His face was not swollen and there was no soot in his mouth, the court heard.
In a statement he said Sara Ege was clearly suffering from smoke inhalation.
Mr Willis went to tend to her after Yaseen.
He said: "I expected her to ask about Yaseen, but she didn't. I put it down to shock."
Phillip Allan, a firefighter with 12 years experience, described how the boy's body felt stiff.
He described helping extinguish a fire on the landing and another in a bedroom at the foot of a double bed.
'So personal'
The jury heard how Mr and Mrs Ege were taken to hospital in a seperate ambulance to their son, who was pronounced dead en route.
Police officer Andrew Williams described the moment Mr Ege was told by a doctor that his son was dead.
He said Mr Ege fell to his knees with a loud bang and started crying, calling out his son's name.
Mr Williams said after 11 years as a policeman, it was one of the worst experiences of his life, "because it was so personal".
Mr Ege told the policeman he did not want to tell his wife, because he thought she was too weak.
Later though, the officer saw them talking to each other in a language he did not understand, and heard the words "Allah" and "Yaseen".
He thought it meant Mr Ege had told his wife that Yaseen was with Allah now, the court heard.
Both defendants deny the charges.
So apart from the penultimate sentence, where 'Allah' is mentioned, there's no other reference to the Islamic nature of this crime.
It also appears that the BBC has no problem using 'murder' to inform about this crime, when it concerns other non-Islamic scum, but prefers to call it a more neutral 'death' when it does. Like something that could happen from natural causes, or due to negligence, instead of an act of sick, twisted, psychopathic barbarians.
