Man held over dead grandmother

Here's a headline for you: Man held over dead grandmother. I'll say it again, just for fun: MAN HELD OVER DEAD GRANDMOTHER. What kind of sadist would dangle a chap over his grandma's corpse? Was he vertical or horizontal? If the latter, was he facing towards her or away? How long was he held there? And who held him? Was some sort of winch involved? Did he wear a harness, or was he kept up by his waistband? These and many more questions swirl through my mind. Another question is: who the hell thought this was a good headline for a story about a guy being arrested in suspicion of murdering his nana?

For shame, BBC.
