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 chef on trial for his wife's murder told police that he had boiled her body for four days until little was left but her skull.
A jury in Los Angeles heard David Viens, 49, make the statements in a recorded interview. "I just slowly cooked it," he said. He denies murder, but claims he had accidentally killed his wife, Dawn, 39, and wanted to get rid of her body. She has never been found.
Mr Viens gave detectives the interview from a hospital bed last year, after he had leapt off a cliff.
The case continues.
