Sun-watch: "House of horrors" update.

In an effort to at least give the Sun a fair hearing on their failure to point out that there were no bodies buried at the former home of Leslie Ford-Thrussell, I emailed them on Saturday shortly before posting the proceeding article with the following:


Dear Sirs,
Is there any chance you could comment on why there is no
mention either in today's newspaper or on the website of the police's
statement that there are no bodies buried at the former home of Leslie
Ford-Thrussell? (http://www.guardian.co.uk/crime/article/0,,1853589,00.html)

Previous articles in the Sun
(http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2006360391,00.html) suggested that
the the man could go down as the next Fred West, while another
called the home and garden the "House of Horrors"
(http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2006370596,00.html). Surely your
readers would like to be reassured that there were no such grim
discoveries after all?

I got a sort of reply earlier today:
