Some of the reporting around this has been really terrible. Not just in content, but in language and background information given during reports. Mentioning his competitive history while Melissa's history gets ignored. Just that she was a mother of their two kids. What's relevant and what's not? Needs to improve, like so much reporting of almost anything nowadays.

Even the page URL says she was an Olympian.

Different media outlets attach importance to different items!
Wait for the Court case.

Probably the best advice here.
The charges are interesting. They don't suggest deliberate murder, but equally they don't imply a complete accident.
Best not to speculate otherwise, none of us have any idea what actually went on, and it'll probably take the police and courts a long time to work it out.

There was a couple of news reports that said she was on the bonnet of the car attempting to stop him leaving. It does not sound good regardless. I am sure the facts will come out in due course.Mr Purple wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2024 8:50 amProbably the best advice here.

The details will eventually be known once the legal processes are complete.
