They’d had their monetary allowance taken away so couldn’t go out to buy anything.

Joseph Stalin once said "one death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic". Old Uncle Joe didn't have many redeeming qualities but this was at least true, people can process lower numbers of deaths a lot easier by and large. Everyone can name three people they know, but I bet pretty much everyone would struggle to name 150 off the bat. Therefore people relate more to the 3 than the 150, and the media understands that and reacts accordingly.
