Connected reporting

Only direct reviewed connections are shown. Shared wording is weaker evidence than a supported case connection. A connection through a third article does not establish that two reports concern the same case.

Shared wording

Tinder大骗徒 渣男诈恋爱财113.6万 | 中國報 China Press

Own named Christopher Harkins/Scottish nickname/210000GBP/assault-and-jailing report and protected named Harkins documentary/Shannon-pseudonym holiday-payment report support bounded named-person shared coverage. Keep210000, protected113.6wan headline and3247pounds/conversion as distinct source scopes, not added or harmonized. The nickname alone does not establish platform use in the new report; no victim legal identity, sentence length, clinical cause, actual time served or programme access is borrowed. This preserves the original protected published member and is not a union of anonymous sentencing snippets.
