Talk:Torture murder

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] legal term

Torture murder is a loosely defined legal term Source please. --Philip Baird Shearer 18:47, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] State murder vs. Torture murder

I've removed references to people being killed by police agencies or state organizations vs. persons killed by serial killers. A police agency may torture someone to death, but its questionable if shuch should be called torture murder. Also, if every member of a secret police group who has ever tortured a person to death was listed here as a torture murderer, the list would be very long. This artice, I feel, should stick to private individuals who illegally kill via torture murder. -Husnock 16:33, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

This gets back to the definition, as raised in the first part of this talk page. The death of William Wallace is referred to in the main section of the article, but that could be followed by thousands of comparable instances, including deaths in the War on Terror. It's questionable that these should be included, but only because this topic has no verifiable definition. The content should be confined to Murder and Torture - otherwise this is just dwelling on blame and suffering. Not a good thing?--Shtove 00:29, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Feardotcom?

"The film FeardotCom also deals with a torture murderer, kidnapping women and then killing them slowly over the Internet."

This is completely irrelevant to the article - it could possibly be put into a trivia section if there was one but I don't think one should be created for this....information. Removed it. Desdinova 23:29, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
