6 ac As the police's young black victim was South American, Sun Editorial much reduced (6) S_S _ _ _ 8dn Measure energy consumed by tart about to solicit (7) _ _ T _ E _T I've got ideas but don't like them unless people can explain them to me

(Have you noticed how the match on question title doesn't work like it used to - I see there's already been a post for PE 326 but I wasn't referred it as I posted my questions - it used to cut out repeated questions)

thanks in avance

8d Entreat....En (measure)+tart+ e (energy)= Solicit

That's what I thought but have never seen EN as a measure!

That puts an E in the 5th letter of the other answer

Thanks again K

6 ac sussed

[prospector]

some explanations that you may want -

Sussed = word for someeone supected by the police

south american = South us (USAA) + S ED (sun editorial much reduced

En is a half of an em - em is a unit of printing measure

[kayakamina]

Prospector could you please explain for me where the 'As the police's young black victim ' fits your answer ?

Thank you K

Prospector is right, K.

I've used SUSSED in the context of working something out (I sussed that) but have found the police suspect in my OE dictionary.

Well done, and thanks to everyone.
