IMO this is censorship, in the same way that when attacks on whites by asian or blacks are reported, very rarely is the ethnicity of the perp reported. When whites attack ethnics it is nearly always reported as such and made out by the authorities to be a racial attack.
Been there, suffered that.  |
I googled "hammer attack swindon" and came up with these

All from early 2007 - looks like a fair representation of the mainstream media there -
Mail on Sunday
BBC
Metro
Sun
Guardian
And if you type in "Henry Webster" and "hammer" you get a lot more.
