Lexis of title: The title uses the word held to show it isn't confirmed if the Father is officially guilty, however it is serious assumption that he was responsible. "Baby dies" is unpleasant and emotive and is an example of it bleeds it leads. The body language of the police officer in the image is very serious to express the seriousness of the story. The broadsheet article uses more text rather than filing the page with images. It packs in as much information as possible to keep it informative for the reader.
The Times describe that the Adults involved are Romanian and Indian.


The Lexis of "Hammer Attack" portrays a brutal image and creates a thrilling story which is real and unpleasant.
