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.
Romance fraudster jailed for two years
Both report the same loss and two-year sentence, but only one names the man. Direct association only; not independent verification or a transitive case merge.
Isle of Wight Man Jailed For £11,000 Romance Fraud
Both describe the same island and loss figure; the shorter version does not state the sentence length. Direct association only; not independent verification or a transitive case merge.
