Lee wasn't born in Wales. Hermione couldn't remember where he said he grew up, but she knew that he had only adopted the area as his home after marrying Sarah. Maybe because he wasn't born and raised in Wales there wasn't as much loyalty afforded him by the Welsh press. Maybe it was the fact that Sarah was a well-known and well-liked member of a prominent family. She'd been there her entire life. It made sense that she would be written about as being an innocent victim and her husband a crazed maniac.
