With these, Windows can hide death caught by the Spanish journalist (8,6)
I believe the answer is:
curtains closed
'with these windows can hide' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.
'death caught by the spanish journalist' is the wordplay.
'death' becomes 'curtains' (I've seen this before).
'caught by' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation. I am not sure about the 'by' bit.).
'the spanish' becomes 'los' ('the' in Spanish).
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'curtains'+'c'+'los'+'ed'='CURTAINS CLOSED'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
