It turns out that the story was about R&B star Chris Brown... but how was I supposed to know that? I imagine that most UK readers would think of 'Gordon' if they saw the name 'Brown' in a web headline.
I may have to add this to my knol on web print versus headlines to illustrate the point the web headlines are often seen out of context.

Is "Rhys killer" a killer OF someone named Rhys or a killer FROM somewhere named Rhys, or something else entirely (surely not a killer named Rhys himself)?
Also, I think I would have parsed that Brown headline as Gordon being sorry that some third party had been wrongfully arrested...
