What the coverage shows

All five outlets converge on Caleb Flynn being found guilty of murdering his wife, and several mention that he was a former American Idol contestant or pastor. CNN and BBC foreground his courtroom reaction, while The Independent and CNN note his claim that an intruder was responsible; The Guardian US and South China Morning Post uniquely emphasize an alleged affair or lover as part of their framing.
