Added current event tag for trial proceedings yet to be concluded. -- Benwilson528 00:51, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
"who was murdered in the UK". Should this not say *allegedly* murdered? All we know for sure is that he died. JLP
- Yes definately should say allegedly as there are two points of view. IH
No, I think he was definately murdered and there is evidence to prove this. -- Segafreak2 13:47, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Just as a point of information, "murder" implies some kind of plan or intent to kill somebody. "Manslaughter" is when death occurs without such prior planning. There is perhaps a grey area in law where a wound has been inflicted "by manslaughter", where the person or persons that have caused the wound realise that it is likely to be fatal, and take no action to call emergency services. In this case, they maybe, under certain circumstances, be charged with murder.
Take care when discussing court cases that are in progress - anything that implies the guilt or innocence of the accused is contempt of court. In extreme cases, this can lead to a judge ordering a retrial. Ericatom 19:41, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
The article speaks of October 2006 as being in the future. AnonMoos 21:03, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Who are the two original brothers not named for legal reasons? Presumably they are now known and are the Preddies. The article should state that rather than mention of the Preddies suddenly appearing from nowhere. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 221.133.86.254 ( talk) 05:36, 7 May 2007 (UTC). I agree with the above unsigned comment Hannahcronin ( talk) 10:00, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
This article is very badly written, both grammatically and structurally.
The construction of the "Early Life" section is almost laughable, and reads like it was taken from a biographical piece of writing.
The whole thing desperately needs rewriting. Thisnamestaken ( talk) 23:32, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
I am very tempted to add {{ npov}}. There is a suspicion that the overall point of view from this article may not be neutral. There is also too few independant sources to verify vital facts. The article could do with a re-write as well, I'm afraid. 88.105.87.149 ( talk) 11:03, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Death of Damilola Taylor. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{
Sourcecheck}}
).
