See also Sedley Alley It would seem strange to keep one, but not the other. A merge might even be considered. Andy Dingley (talk) 00:50, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Biography of a True Lurid Crime victim. Tragic though the case was, Wikipedia is not a memorial, nor is a registry of news stories, nor is it an accumulation of bios of victims and perpetrators in every death penalty case. Carrite (talk) 04:17, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Summarize & Merge into a new article Rape and murder of Suzanne Marie Collins. The crime has received significant coverage sufficient to warrant WP:GNG, even if the victim is not notable herself. Content regarding the Lance Corporal can be merged into the new article as a section about her.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 16:18, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Summarize & Merge I concur with everything RightCowLeftCoast said. The event is notable, even though neither the victim nor the perpetrator are notable. The two articles should be combined to focus on the event, the trial, and the execution, with subsections for the two individuals involved and redirects when either name is searched.
