Boy charged with the murdering father's pregnant girlfriend.

-- Yahoo! Canada homepage on February 23, 2009

What? Should the not be there? Then why is it there? Is it left over from the switch from the original text: Boy charged with the murder of father's pregnant girlfriend? Why does the article omit any mention of the father, with nothign written of the relationship between the victim and the boy's father? (In fact, the article contains this sentence: Officers couldn't immediately say Saturday whether the boy and the woman were related and wouldn't give any other details.) Answers, please.
