Wikipedia has a naming convention for murders which requires somebody be convicted of the crime before the title begins Murder of .... While Police might investigate this homicide as a murder case, and call it so, their standard for laying murder charges in Court is much lower than that of "beyond reasonable doubt", which is required for a murder conviction. Wikipedia's convention is to call this article the "Killing of Kevin Odunuyi" until such time as a murder conviction is obtained. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 22:58, 25 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Hwqaksd and Inexpiable: I have moved the article about the murder of Kelvin Odunuyi to the title Killing of Kelvin Odunuyi as set out in WP:MURDERS and WP:MURDEROF naming convention guidelines. These naming conventions require a person be convicted of the victim's murder before the title "Murder of <victim>" is given to the article. A "Killing of <victim>" title is more appropriate without a conviction. Part of the reason for requiring a conviction to be entered is to protect the right to a fair trial as people accused of murder, under English Law, are presumed innocent until found guilty. Additionally, the killing is a matter of fact, while murder requires also proving intent. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 23:26, 25 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
