Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A man was jailed for life for hacking to death his stepdaughter and a young boy with scissors to cover-up a sex attack. Tariq Rehman, of Bradford, attacked Rachel Rooney, 15, and Jonathan Copley, with such force, the scissors snapped in two, Leeds Crown Court was told.
Hours earlier, he had tried to molest Rachel, his stepdaughter. Rehman, 35, a district manager with Britannic Assurance, slaughtered the children to stop them telling about the sex attack, it was alleged. A jury of seven women and five men took less than three hours to find him guilty of their murders.
