Worse than you might think. I figured it was unlikely that the victim had been killed twice, but possible that the police person had been involved in two killings. Answer: neither.
The article compares two events where a death was caused by different weapons, one in the CBD and one in Paramatta, involving completely different people, under different behavioural circumstances, with one incident indoors and one outdoors. Apart from that, they were very similar.
I dropped a line to Mediawatch yesterday morning... but I imagine they get "piano for a lady with wooden legs" references all the time.
