The headline in The Metro says "SS assassin jailed for 1,944 murders" but if you read the article it says he "committed three murders".

Is Al Gore writing their headlines?
Talk about misquoting. You've included a comma where there isn't one in the headline.
Or were you trying to be funny?
I spotted the comma too. Nice.
I don't think it takes a genius, or even a read of the original story, to add 'SS assassin' to '1,944' and realise that's a year, with a superfluous comma, rather than the body count.
Do we use hashtags in comments?
#fail ;-)
