BBC article title much better than the current one on HN.

Reading the current one, I was like how is this news, there have been numerous articles on the "ai girlfriend" encouraging/supporting his plans (with clear mental issues) since the 2021 incident.

What the BBC title points out that is an actual update, he's been finally sentenced.

I'm not liking the future as much as I had hoped.

Don’t worry, there’s a king now. The man will not serve his time in vain!
