Balancing Subjects

I believe this Wikipedia page is developing well. However, I believe that the sections for background information and the arrest itself could include more details and how this was important in solving the case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stanfojl (talk • contribs) 17:35, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Still serial killings with only two known victims?

Seems the verdict has ramifications for the title, unless serial killers don't need three or more kills in Australia. Or maybe it's become a common enough name in news that it should remain, regardless. Possibly complicated, discuss? InedibleHulk (talk) 17:27, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

According to serial killer, 3 is a normal start point (and until yesterday, that was the suspected victim count in this case). However, CSK now also represents the common name of this case, irrespective of the actual confirmed numbers too (as more than 2 victims are still suspected). Thanks.

You're welcome. InedibleHulk (talk) 01:52, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Judge concluded he was most likely "involved" in Sarah Spiers disappearance. However, they haven't found her body yet. So it isn't confirmed she's dead much less that Edwards killed her. He probably did though. 2001:8003:8024:B700:302E:8650:AA28:896E (talk) 14:17, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category: Unsolved murders in Australia

Should the article remain in this category, considering that 2/3 of the case is officially solved? Greyjoy^talk 07:30, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well the article still includes one unsolved killing. Mitch Ames (talk) 13:07, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Greyjoy^talk 14:37, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Perth Football Club Brad Edwards is a different person

There was a Brad Edwards (also born 1968) who played a few games for Perth Demons in the WAFL competition in 1988. The source is Alan East, From Redlegs to Demons (2005 history book of the club). This might be worth adding to the article given that Huntingdale is part of Perth's suburban recruitment zone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C8:9C32:F001:58F5:6B72:B732:B82D (talk) 18:11, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Source not specific enough

Reference 2, a true crime documentary, must be cited more specifically, i.e. time of statement, who made the claim Billsmith60 (talk) 23:22, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
