Interestingly, a British man in jail in Vietnam has recently had a heart attack (apparently) - I never saw any mention of this in ANY media other that the Murdoch ones.
Do they have "sleaze" "tagged" so they don't miss anything salacious ?

Not at all surprised by the verdict.
Someone who jumps out of a hotel window with their children is clearly mentally unstable.
I feel sorry for all concerned in this tragic case.

Because the truth is not always as obvious as it seems. Nonetheless, you would think cases should only appear in the courts once psychiatric reports deem a person sane enough to face justice.
Still, at least the Cretan court has arrived at a verdict which would appear to be the correct one. Would I have have the same confidence in a British court in this day and age? Not on your life!

Notice the tabloid coverage - very much on the poor Mother's side - "My son died for nothing" with the subtext "so kill my husband too".
It never ceases to amaze me - the blindness of revenge.
