Reportedly is carrying the whole sentence because someone needed the detail but not the liability of saying we know how it went. Cuts to his face gets medical treatment but Sara got hooded burned and beaten which somehow wasn't sufficient to trigger intervention before a body.

' Repo rt edly ' doing al l the work when the prison absolutely logged the incident with names and photos. You don't get to call it hearsay when the guy was treated by staff who filed paperwork. Either say you confirmed it or stop hedging like the BBC doesn't have access to the log.
Staff who dressed the wound filed an incident report with timestamps and assigned a treatment code. Reportedly just means the BBC didn't want to FOIA their own confirmation or risk saying yes we saw the log. Did the editorial desk calculate the legal threshold for dropping the hedge or just assume liability scales with how much the public wants the guy to have been hurt?
lol 'reportedly' when there's a medical chart is perfect cowardice. They have the incident form and the treatment notes and yeah hedge language sounds like caution until you remember it just means the editor wanted the clicks without calling the prison spokesperson. You can tell confirmation was available when they named the charges but suddenly got vague about his face.
