GeorgeJack (talk | contribs) The article should be about the incident. Details about what the victim studied, when she would graduate, are not necessary.

GeorgeJack (talk | contribs) The paragraph is too long, some details are not necessary. It should be rewritten. What 'to be "... in the mess"' exactly means? |
