Not the right call to edit that bit out of the statement posted online but in the 6pm hour they did show it in full and also have posted the clip on the website in full
The crisism of Sky News and ITV was for them trying to contact the family directly in the last 24 hours since the body was recovered when they had specifically asked for privacy at this time
Overall id say Sky's coverage has been very good although I did feel uncomfortable watching the live walk through on friday morning but it did give us a good idea of the geography of the area. How remote the paths were, How steep the banks were, How close the bench was to the gate etc
Edit 18:24: They have now updated it to say "The statement goes on to criticise Sky News and ITV, saying journalists had contacted the family yesterday when they had asked for privacy"
