News Corp: Ok, Even I Wouldn't Have Guessed The Ax-Murdering Bit

New York Times is in it late with a goody: Murdoch's best girl, Rebekah Brooks, helped out her pals the likely ax murderers by interfering in the Scotland Yard investigation of them.

Detective Cook said the police had evidence that one of The News of the World’s senior editors, Alex Marunchak, had ordered the illegal surveillance as a favor to two suspects in the case: Sid Fillery and Jonathan Rees, private investigators whose firm had done work for the paper. The lawyer for Mr. Cook, Mark Lewis, said in an interview that the detective believed that Mr. Fillery and Mr. Rees were seeking help in gathering evidence about Detective Cook to derail the murder inquiry.

          ...“News International was paying people to interfere with police officers and was doing so on behalf of known criminals,” he said.
