badstarThere's no registration to read either one. The first article is far more responsibly, and I suspect accurately written than the second one which is sensationalist pandering. At the heart of the matter, a woman is dead because her boyfriend killed her.

Anderson told police he is a druid -- an apparent reference to ancient Celtic religious traditions -- and said he was obligated to dispose of Miller's body by air, water or fire, Oakland County Assistant Prosecutor John Taylor said after the arraignment.

The man who killed a Milford teen told police he disposed of her body as part of a pagan ritual.
Jon Anderson, 23, confessed to killing Natasha Miller, 19, saying he did it because he is a druid -- part of an ancient religious group, Local 4 reported.
Anderson told police that according to his religion, he had to dispose of Miller's body either by fire, earth or water.
This section alone comprises nearly half of the story. Kinda takes the focus off the fact that he killed this woman There was no "pagan ritual", there was only a murder. The first artitcle says that he killed her because he was angry that she wanted to break off the relationship. The second one says he did it "because he is a druid"
Yeah, I wonder which is really true.
I wonder which claim will get more attention?
I am angry that he killed her.
I am angry that he claimed that it was part of a religion.
I am angry that news is reported and warped in this way.
Okay, belonging to a certain religion DOES NOT make you kill someone. Having serious issues that need to be addressed can make you kill someone. This woman is dead because a monster took her life. Focusing on his alleged religion is an insult to her and a detriment to the seriousness of the issue.
