Correction: English murder law story

It was the former director of public prosecutions, Ken Macdonald, not the current director of public prosecutions, Keir Starmer, who said: “Many of us think that that’s an aspect of the law which needs reforming. We should have degrees of murder, rather in the way they do in the U.S.”
