Transcribed from the clipping

How this transcription was made
Press photograph with caption, no article; the headline above is the caption's own opening, as the archive titles photo records. Masthead not readable on the scan. The label on the slide read: [masthead not on scan] — Photograph with caption, no article. UPI Photo. The picture shows Zuaiter’s body face down on the pavement of a courtyard, a man in a coat and cap standing over him beside a potted plant, a cloth laid across the legs. — No masthead and no date anywhere on this scan — the clipping is the photograph and its caption only. Nothing on the page confirms either the paper or the date. The killing was the night of Monday 16 October 1972, so an 18 October paper is plausible, but this is Maria’s label and not the page.
