A Crime Against Clarity in the NatPo

An article in the National Post features this most convoluted of ledes:

TORONTO • A salacious case involving a multimillionaire businessman and his dominatrix mistress accused of hiring a burly ex-con to kill the wealthy man’s wife came to an unexpected end on Monday when prosecutors stayed all charges rather than reveal what they know about a police officer’s romantic links to the widow of a key witness in the case whose oddly timed death he was investigating.

Not even Agatha Christie in her prime could untangle that one.
