INTERNATIONAL NEWS - The family of a man from Ohio whose murder was recorded and posted on Facebook is suing the social networking site for negligence and wrongful death.
Robert Godwin, 74, was shot dead apparently at random as he walked home from Easter lunch last April.
Steve Stephens, who later shot himself dead, posted a video of the killing that drew millions of Facebook views.
It led the website to launch a review of its procedures following criticism that it stayed on the site for hours.
