Amardeep Sada[edit]

I have no idea how to edit these tables. Could someone please add an entry on Amardeep Sada? http://murderpedia.org/male.S/s/sada-amardeep.htm, https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/jun/01/india.randeepramesh. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.184.86.137 (talk) 13:27, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Many more under 10[edit]

Should't Dimitrios Pagourtzis be on here?[edit]

The Santa Fe School Shooter should be on this list, he was 17 when he killed 10 injured 13 at Santa Fe High School. It's surprising he's not on here considering he has been confirmed as the shooter, though i guess it makes sense since the other teens who killed numerous either died or had their trial, still would be a good idea adding him to the list YatesTucker00090 (talk) 06:18, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Morgan and Anissa[edit]

I noticed that too. It was attwmpted murder not murder as well as Jamarion lawhorn a 12 year old killer from Kent coumty Michigan is not listed — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:8C:600:2C94:8DA1:1433:B38F:F397 (talk) 17:44, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Latest edition[edit]

Hello! I edited the whole article trying to make it easier to edit the tables. I hope this helps. Some minor errors were also fixed. Agente Rolf (talk) 04:35, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unnamed UK boy[edit]

One of the killers on the list had very little information, so I decided that at least one source should cite the case. It was thus listed:

Name Date of birth Date of killing(s) Age at time of murder(s) Location Country Killed Injured Penalty of perpetrator(s) Current status of perpetrator(s) Ref.
Unnamed boy 1989 2001 12 Undisclosed  United Kingdom
1
0
 Arrested

Searching the information on the Internet, the only related case I found was that of an autistic boy who killed his brother in Bristol. The case was only reported in 2001, but the murder was in 2000 when he was 12 years old. With this data, I changed this part. If anyone finds out that this is another case, you may feel free to add it to the list. Agente Rolf (talk) 02:27, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, you're all good but the aftermath is unclear, not shown by news sources, whether he was convicted. He's probably incarerated. Cookfoodchef1 (talk) 00:12, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Scope of this page[edit]

 – Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 22:09, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I have seen that you made some edits to the list. I have no disagreement with most of them except the one you say 'according to source was possibly an accident'. Nothing on the list says that only those who committed incidental deaths should be there, so by 'killers' I understand that all those who have caused a death, accidental or not, can be there. Perhaps this is something to be discussed by the community. Tell me what you think! Agente Rolf (talk) 21:25, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Agente Rolf: I don't think there's anything exceptional about kids accidentally killing each other; should we include a two year old climbing on a dresser and tipping it on to another kid, for example? Or a child knocking loose a parking brake?
Of course you raise an important question: what is this page all about? I have no idea. We're including 15-17 year olds. Why? There must be millions of people of that age who have killed others, throughout history, at least if you include wartime. These aren't the "youngest". A strictly correct title of this page, in its current form, would be List of persons under 18 whose acts of killing were sensationalist enough to be reported by the media.
In the meantime, priority number one is cleaning this list of those who have been only charged, and not convicted, and any unsourced entries that I missed. WP:BLP is not just a suggestion, folks! Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 22:09, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Suffusion of Yellow: I have seen you got the point. I also 'don't think there's anything exceptional about kids accidentally killing each other' as you said, and that was one of the reasons I made my comment. For the 'Why?,' some things I can point out for this list are: the fact that, as sensational or bizarre as it may seem, it serves as a study for criminology, so it has its encyclopedic importance; homicides committed by minors under 18 are on the list because most countries in the world have the age of majority at 18 and the division of tables of minors under 12 and children between 13 and 17 is due to the criminal age applied by most countries.
I totally agree that the name of the article needs to be changed to better focus the subject of it (not by the sarcastic title you mentioned, haha!). I think we need to just focus on charged and convicted criminals. Just a suggestion: a new name to the page could be List of documented convicted murderers under 18-years-old. Agente Rolf (talk) 11:53, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The title of this page is an oxymoron and that makes it misleading. There can only be one youngest killer, so there cannot be a list. I think what the list is trying to identify people under the age of 18 (children?) who caused the death of another person, ranked by age. To say a person is a "killer" is not a neutral point of view. To restrict the list to murderers and exclude accidental death is valid but then you have to exclude anyone not charged with a culpable homicide or not criminally responsible, which I don't think is the point of the list. - 203.96.84.33 (talk) 22:09, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Birthday of the killer in the Feb. 29, 2000 shooting[edit]

I have removed the birthday of the killer (who may or may not be named "Dedrick Owens" (see this talk page thread from December 2019 for more information)) as it appears to be unsourced. After 20 minutes of Google searching, I confirmed the hard way that the boy was never publicly identified. All of the sources that mention "Dedrick" for the boy, not the father, are newer than 2007 and probably took Wikipedia's word for it. Does anyone know if any sources exist for the "May 5, 1993" birth date? 173.76.246.128 (talk) 20:46, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled[edit]

It pains me that Daniel Pesseghini is in this list. Anyone familiar with the case can tell you that the boy was obviously framed, as his parents were both honest police officers about to reveal a big corruption scandal in the force (which is extremely common in Brazil). The story that the police made up makes absolutely no sense. Daniel was murdered alongside his parents and framed for the killings, but everything was just covered up and they made up some bullshit about how Assassin's Creed made him kill his parents. Pitiful 170.83.92.128 (talk) 20:44, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's reliably sourced, and this talk page is not a forum for your personal opinions. 20:54, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
My personal opinions? Anyone who followed this case even remotely closely knows the boy was framed. The official story that he killed his parents is reliably sourced because the same police that his parents were investigating were the ones to rule Daniel as the killer, with a ridiculous story that any brazilian who had access to the internet or TV knows is bogus. He's "reliably sourced" as a murdered because journalists didn't want to dig deeper into it and end up dead themselves, as it has happened many times in the past. 170.83.92.128 (talk) 22:16, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You are all talk and no reliable sources. Either provide the sources or stop soapboxing your personal opinions here. Wikipedia requires that all content is verifiable with reliable sources, and you making claims here is not a reliable source. I could easily makes thousands of claims with nothing to back them up, but that's not the way Wikipedia works. If you can't accept that, you don't belong here.

Updates on some entries, corrections and tweakings of info on others[edit]

please add the following corrections and tweakings of info on the following entries.

Nathaniel Abraham was arrested and sentenced to juvenile detention until his 21st birthday, convicted of more crimes committed as an adult, such as assault of an officer and drug possession.[1][2]

Elmer Wayne Henley was actually 15 years and 10 months and 15 days when he was born on May 9, 1956 not February 27, 1956 it says so right there in his article.

Courtney Schulhoff was not arrested and imprisoned until her 21st birthday, she is still imprisoned because she was originally sentenced to life without parole but her sentence has now been reduced to 40 years.[3]

James Ellison Rouse was actually 17 not 16 and he was born in 05/08/1978 according to this https://apps.tn.gov/foil-app/details.jsp.

someone please fix that now.--Kinkel Loukaitis Brazill (talk) 22:54, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New information for the tables[edit]

Perhaps we should add a new column to these tables ... one for "victim" or "relationship to victim" or some such. It's rather unique / uncommon to have a killer of such young age (as this article details) ... so, it might be interesting to see who precisely their selected victims are (parents, siblings, classmates, random stranger, baby "sittee", etc.).

On the youngest "killer"[edit]

Here's the source listed in the youngest supposed "killer", in Norwegian. It confirms that a 1-year-old girl indeed did shoot her mother dead, but could this really be considered a "killing"? Her father left the loaded gun in the room, she picked it up and threw it on the floor, where it went off and shot her mother dead. That's not really a "killing", is it? Maybe killing by negligence on the father's side but the 1-year-old child obviously had no way of knowing what the gun even is, let alone what it's capable of doing. It's an accident, not a killing. The article itself clearly says: "youngest people confirmed by reliable sources to have deliberately killed another human being". Don't really think this belongs in the article, I'll take it out until further notice. AgeOfPlastic (talk) 22:59, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
