The big mystery here is why these gamma rays were so slow, apparently only travelling 'near the speed of light'?

The gamma rays travel at the speed of light. It was the jets created from the black hole collapse that travel at near the speed of light. The jets and the gamma rays are 2 different things although they happen together.

Now that explaination makes more sense. I guess that's what happens when you get science news from a business newsletter.
