This would be better analyzed under  rather than .  This is far from a "classic" BLP1E, in that the subject is not a private person only incidentally caught up in a larger newsworthy event not of their own making (as an article on her husband would be).  Instead, the "event" of the murder (really a rather facile word to use here) was solely her own intentional conduct.  And to further roll into that the highly publicized trial and her apparently historically significant sentence really stretches the word "event" out of all reasonable meaning.  A crime such as this is really a biographical one, in that who she was in relation to the victims, her motive for for killing them, and her trial and incarceration afterward is the real story; the method of exactly how she killed her daughters, though relevant, is just a small part of the story that is much less important by comparison (this isn't an elaborate bank robbery such that the commission of the crime gets the greatest weight in the story).  Currently the article doesn't even have any discussion of her possible motives, despite http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/mother-jailed-for-killing-teen-daughters/story-e6frfku0-1225778393442 information on that; I hope that hasn't been intentionally excluded because to do so would be to completely misunderstand the nature of the subject and how best to write about it.So in my view, the only question is whether there is lasting significance and sustained coverage of her such that this would not just be routine news coverage.  There's at least a prima facie case for that, and no actual counterargument so far, so I'd like to see more discussion on that point
