Madeleine Mcccan edit
There has been significant coverage in the media (today and yesterday) about links to Madeline McCann. I was wondering whether there is a consensus for this coverage to be mentioned in the article (Tahiti22 (talk) 17:55, 5 May 2019 (UTC)).
- Why? The victims in the German case were consistently and invariably boys. Also, Madeleine McCann was abducted and her body never recovered; whereas, the remains of the boy who was murdered were later found in open country. The cases are completely dissimilar.
Imperfect Translation edit
This article has clearly been translated, with selective deletions of material, from the equivalent German Wikipedia article. Unfortunately, that is the only clear thing about it: while the article obviously consists of English words, it is not by any means idiomatic English (i.e., not English as a native English speaker would construct it), and at times even the intended meaning is obscure. Words like abuse and touched inappropriately are imprecise and unencyclopaedic for an article which swarms with criminological detail; as well as grotesquely euphemistic for such a serious subject.
Sentencing wording edit
The wording of the Sentencing section is some of the least clear. Here I have bolded two confusing phrases:
"On 10 October, the trial began before the district court of Stade, where the defendant showed constant."
If you can, please clarify what the above is trying to convey.
"On 27 February 2012, Ney was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of the three boys and 20 abuse cases, with subsequent preventative detention condemned. In addition, the court noted the particular severity of the guilt. However, Ney's defenders appealed the verdict regarding the preventative detention."
If you can, please clarify if "condemned" is the right word here. It's confusing in the context of the litigation described in this section. Kirby777 (talk) 02:42, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
