Here are excerpts from three crime/death reports in today's Daily Mail. Can you match up the three house prices below with the correct crimes/deaths?
Excerpt One
A horrified father returned home from work to find his two young children seemingly smothered to death and his wife had apparently tried to slit both her wrists. A 10-week-old baby boy and a one-year-old girl were later pronounced dead after the man made frantic efforts to save them before raising the alarm.
The young family had bought the smart terraced home for over £... just a few days ago in an affluent area nicknamed Nappy Valley because young professionals like to move there to raise children.
Excerpt Two
Elliot Turner, 20, confessed to grabbing Emily Longley, 17, 'quite hard' round the neck and pushing her onto his bed before pressing down above her collar bone with his right hand.
He said he then stormed out of the room at his parents' £... home 'disgusted' with himself before writing a letter to his mother and putting it under her door asking her forgiveness.
Excerpt Three
A privately educated schoolboy was found dead on the sofa of his family’s £... townhouse after taking a cocktail of drugs and alcohol, an inquest heard yesterday. Drew Quinlan, 13, was found face down on the settee of his grandfather’s four-storey home.
He had consumed a toxic mixture of anti-depressants belonging to his family and alcohol, and had also been exposed to heroin in recent months, a post-mortem examination report stated.
The three house prices you have to match up are:
A. £4,000,000
B. £1,000,000
C. £350,000

I'm going for high-risk strategy: CAB.
C first because the terrace will be cheapest. B last because a townhouse should be expensive, but it could be a trick. A for the middle because domestic abuse isn't newsworthy unless it involves the super-rich.
1 = £1Million
2 = £4million
3 = £350k
I think... Not sure about the last two right enough, might be the other way round.
Let's try:
B, C, A
B first because that sounds right for a terraced house in nappy valley
Then C because that sounds about right for an average family home which isn't in nappy valley
Then A because of the magic word 'townhouse'. Despite being big terraces, townhouses can reach £4m because they also often in historic locations.
I'm with WOAR. My analysis exactly.
RA 0/3.
PB 1/3
WOAR 3/3, well done!
L, 3/3 minus mark for copying WOAR's homework = 2/3.
My God MW, good reminder of why I only check the Mail for work related consumer stuff and then look at the pictures down the right hand side.
Depressing aint it.
SL, yup, hence the Home-Owner-Ism tag for this post. It's almost as if the death of the £4m kid is more tragic than the death of the £350,000 lass.
