Wikipedia is not a news agency. This is a pseudo-biography of a person who is only noteworthy for being the perpetrator of a crime which was newsworthy for a time but not a "well-documented historic event", and so the article fails our notability tests. Dominic·t 13:23, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete WP:CRIME states: A person who is notable only for being the victim of or committing a crime or crimes should not normally be the subject of a separate Wikipedia article if there are any existing articles that do or could incorporate the available encyclopaedic material relating to that person. Where there are no appropriate existing articles, the criminal or victim in question should be the subject of a Wikipedia article only if one of the following applies: 1.The victim of the crime is a renowned national or international figure, including, but not limited to, politicians or celebrities; 2.The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event. Generally, historic significance is indicated by sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual's role.

The individuals involved in this case are not "renowned national or international figures", and this case is not a "well-documented historic event", so Wikipedia's crime notability guidelines have not been met. Furthermore, this article violates WP:NOTNEWS and WP:BLP. NJ Wine (talk) 03:33, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
