Because our media like our politicians are with the odd exception, scum. First thing you had was individuals trying to score political points, of course now they're all backtracking as the cause of murder seems to be heading in a different direction. They've been showing pixelated videos of the two murdered bodies basically on loop. It is still very easy to make out the bodies, and some of the wounds - the gore and blood is being shown without any discretion. Still they've been offered some decency - on a regular basis they show dead bodies at the DMC morgue and elsewhere, without any respect for the dead.

Death is a morbid curiosity, more than usual in this country - it is the same reason, you get thousands at accident sites, but only 1-2 individuals wanting to help. Voyeurism at it's worst.

Children have an incredible ability to bounce back, and are very resilient - but the heavy handed manner in how he has been dealt with it is very sad
