Prosecutors allege he strangled Ms Millane before disposing of her body. She died because he killed her. 'Rough sex' is not, is never a defence. And this headline is completely contemptible. Wake up, @BBCNews https://t.co/P23OZUvtBH

It's victim blaming in its purest and most dangerous form and media headlines are facilitating it.
A lot of the public don't know that 'a court hears' here means *from the defence* - and could easily read these lines as if they were objective fact. None of these headlines have attribution.

Imagine if I reported a political party's viewpoint as fact without attribution. pic.twitter.com/y13GYuZnvC
