## Coverage angles

The received articles (center and right) report the same essential facts with a similar factual angle; the difference lies mainly in the level of detail regarding the circumstances and the vocabulary used to describe the assault and the suspect.

**Common ground**

- A 63-year-old woman was stabbed to death in Montargis (Loiret) on Thursday, November 5.
- A 27-year-old suspect was arrested.
- The suspect was hospitalized for psychiatric care.
- The assault took place in the street, in the presence of the victim's husband.

**Differences**

- The right wing specifies the street name (Collerette Street) and the time of day (mid-morning), details absent from center articles.
- The center explicitly mentions that the suspect was "already under psychiatric care," a detail not repeated in the right-wing excerpt.
- The center describes an attack "from behind" the victim, a formulation absent from the right-wing excerpt.
