The end of your article should have a summary of the facts and answers to any questions that the article may have raised. For example, with a crime story that the police have not yet reported as being solved, you could end with a discussion of the ongoing police investigation and explain further, if more information is needed, what the police are seeking to learn and what can bring the case to a conclusion.
The conclusion must remind the reader why the article was written in the first place.
The conclusion must deal with the ‘So What’ and ‘Now What’ questions.

This is important for… because …
At the moment, the police are still thinking about/looking into…
