(1) John Simpson and Leo Lewis, Murdered Briton Tried to Get His Wife a UK Passport. Times of London, Apr 12, 2012 (1 minute ago; available now).

My comment:
(a) Times only allows subscribers (or paying customers) to read online. But the report is featured in the center of the newspaper's home page.
http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/
(b) The intention is nothing unusual, by law or emotionally.
(c) Also on tomorrow's Times:
(i) David Aaronovitch, There’s a Conspiracy, But Who Is It Aimed at?

From the short description of the report, it seems that the analysis asks whether the object of the conspiracy is Mr Heywood or the Bos.
(ii) Leo Lewis, From Power and Riches to Charge of Murder: The fall of a red queen.
(A) Red Queen (Through the Looking-Glass)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Queen_(Through_the_Looking-Glass)
(B) Through the ages, there are many illustrations of Red Queen (including one in a recent movie played by Helena Bonham Carter). Please search images.google.com with Red Queen (Through the Looking-Glass).
