  • I don't think that the word "murder" should appear in the hook since it has never been proved to be a murder, even though the brothers were coerced to confess to murder. cart-Talk 12:58, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
+1; this is an issue in our articles about killings that I have been pursuing for a while in discussions, and in how I name the articles I have created about such killings where no conviction for murder is currently valid.

Cart, I presume Swedish law makes the same distinction as American law: that "murder" is something only a trier of fact or guilty plea can determine; otherwise the event is a homicide? Daniel Case (talk) 05:13, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

I'm no expert on the legalese in such cases, and everyday Swedish does not have as many nuanced word as English. In common-speak we call both "mord" but in court they different them into "mord" and "dråp"(archaic). In this case, an accident has not been ruled out; it is currently one of the foremost theories and the whole thing is usually just referred to as "the death of...". cart-Talk 10:45, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
OK, if it has not been settled we should go with "Death of ..." Daniel Case (talk) 06:53, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
  • Full review needed now that hook issue seems to have been settled. BlueMoonset (talk) 13:43, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
Article new enough (at least at the time of nomination); Long enough; Within policy; All paragraphs have sources with inline citations; Hook meets the formatting guidelines and is accurate and cited with an inline citations; QPQ done. -- P 1 9 9   14:36, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
