The Killer: Latest stories on deadly events, decisive wins and shocking moments

Some headlines under "The Killer" are literal — crashes, violent crimes, big scandals. Others use the word to describe ruthless performances or game-changing moments. On this page you'll find both types, grouped so you can scan the biggest, most intense stories fast.

What this tag covers

Expect four main kinds of pieces here. First, hard news about loss and danger — for example our look at the deadliest U.S. plane crashes, which explores safety gaps and how each disaster changed rules. Second, crime and court coverage like the Gogo Maweni assault case that followed court filings and public reaction. Third, major failures or hacks that hit millions, such as the Bybit $1.1 billion exploit and what it means for crypto users. Fourth, dramatic sports and culture moments where "killer" describes a match-winning play or a breakout performance — think Pacers reaching the NBA Finals or Messi setting up key goals.

Each article focuses on facts first: what happened, who was involved, and what comes next. When context matters we add clear background — policy changes after crashes, legal stakes in court cases, technical breakdowns for hacks, or form and tactics in sports stories.
