Well-written?

Writing is not clear in places, with some grammatical problems. Lead section does not serve as an introduction of the three things (see below) that are known to have happened and possibly what more is suspected; it does not tease the reader into reading more, rather leaves one puzzled.

Factually accurate/Neutral?

This article is called "Murder of Lindsay Hawker". All that is known is that is that: 1) Hawker is dead after appearing to have been killed. 2) Hawker and Ichihashi both met; 3) Ichihashi has disappeared and a warrant for his arrest is out on suspicion of abandoning Hawker's body. A court of law normally pronounces "murder". No court case has yet happened. The claim about murder appear to have been construed, from citing a tabloid newspaper which half-way through an article, changes from killing to murder after citing an interview with Hawker's parents who called the death of their daughter a murder.

The BBC more than qualifies as a reliable source, and this article for example http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/coventry_warwickshire/7958410.stm uses the word murder rather clearly. Again, Mootros, you Point Of View as to what constitutes murder is not relevant to how this article is named when reliable sources are already taking care of that for us. If you have a specific source that you take issue with in this article then you should indicate exactly which one is in question so others can weigh in.
