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 MAN returned home from a working trip to discover his wife had been bludgeoned to death after a violent struggle, Scotland Yard said yesterday.

The body of Caroline Williams, 29, an unemployed stage manager, was found lying partially clothed on a bed upstairs in their terraced house in Rotherhithe, south-east London, early yesterday.

A post-mortem examination revealed she had died from head injuries made by a blunt instrument. It was also believed she had been sexually assaulted.

Her husband, Tim, 31, also a stage manager, had just spent a week working in Plymouth. They had spoken by telephone just 26 hours earlier.

Police want to interview two men spotted separately loitering near the scene.
