Cock of the day

There's a story in today's Guardian about the jailing of 24 year-old Jonathan Cock for murder and other offences.

He shot dead his ex-girlfriend's father and shot both her and her mother, before turning the gun on himself. Shooting himself in the mouth, he sustained brain damage but somehow managed to drive himself home, where he was arrested the next day. He will serve a minimum of 25 years.

You can read the Guardian's full story here, which contains this rather unfortunate line:

Truro crown court heard that the victims were Jehovah's Witnesses, who disapproved of their daughter seeing Cock

You would think the subs might have paid closer attention, given his name...

This line sticks right out too: "I can't believe you chose the hard option."
