Woman's nudity may have led to man's death

Posted on 13:51 by Unknown

This post was going to be about an Australian article with that headline, about a gruesome killing.  But being the careful goddess I am, I just double-checked, and today the same link gives a completely different headline:  
  
 Vic man 'stomped on backpacker's head

But the link still talks about the woman's nudity.

The old version began like this:

An Irish backpacker may have been killed after he accidentally saw his housemate's girlfriend semi-naked, a Melbourne court has heard.

    David Greene saw the woman, Shayla Pullen, topless when he walked into the bedroom of housemate Luke James Wentholt to tell him a joke, Melbourne Magistrates Court has heard.
Wentholt, 31, of St Kilda East, is facing a charge of murder and three counts each of intentionally causing serious injury, intentionally causing injury and assault over the incident in August last year.
Ms Pullen told the court she believes the topless incident led to the confrontation that left Mr Greene dead and another man seriously injured.

And the revised version like this:

Melbourne man was acting like a "crazy monster" as he repeatedly stomped on an Irish backpacker's head during a housewarming party at their home, a murder hearing has been told.

Luke James Wentholt, 31, has pleaded not guilty to the murder of housemate David Greene in their St Kilda East house last August.
Two witnesses told Melbourne Magistrates Court that Wentholt stomped on Mr Greene's head as he lay unconscious after a confrontation between the pair at the party.
Wentholt's then-girlfriend, Shayla Pullen, said Mr Greene saw her topless when he walked into his housemate's bedroom to tell him a joke.
Ms Pullen told the court she believes the topless incident led to the confrontation that left Mr Greene dead and another man seriously injured.

What can I say?  Kudos for the site to have fixed this, because the initial framing implied that it was the woman's nudity which was the guilty party in the killing.
