Motive?
What was her self-described motive for killing Br. Roger?

As most Romanians are Eastern Orthodox I believe that it's worth mentioning that she is not. She belongs to a very old Roman-Catholic community in my city (Iasi). The reason why I added this information is that I believe it is relevant because there are currently in Romania many Orthodox Christians who oppose, often with fanatical zeal the ecumenical-open policies of the Romanian Orthodox Church. As Iasi is widely known in Romania to be a stronghold of Orthodox traditionalism, the immediate assumption of anyone who knows the current situation is that this woman might be Orthodox and murdered Frere Roger because of opposition to ecumenism. While the assumption of ecumenism as the motive might still hold true, this woman was never an Orthodx and has nothing to do with the aggresive anti-ecumenism that is prevalent among many Romanian Orthodox laicity. She is clearly a Roman-Catholic (see http://www.stiri24.ro/arhiva/luminita-solcan-asasina-fratelui-roger-o-schizofrenica-cu-acte-care-si-a-intrerupt-tratamentul.html?id=66394 ) as any google search will reveal (yes, in the most traditional Orthodox city in Romania there is a very old Roman-Catholic comunity). The real motive of this murder is rather probably connected with her schizophrenia, than having anything to do with eligious dogma; it seems to be a subjective reason, given her psychological state. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.37.166.68 (talk) 16:14, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Outcome?
Does anyone know what became of her? I'm trying to find out if she was prosecuted, convicted, found incompetent, etc. A preliminary internet search did not provide any info. It would be a good idea to update the article. --Anietor (talk) 17:39, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Merge
This article clearly needs to be merged with Frère Roger as she is non-notable independent of the attack. Yeah, some assassins become famous and notable, but this article doesn't not indicate she has. I feel this article could have been just merged without notice (per WP:Be bold) but I thought I'd give warning anyway in case someone wants to argue the against it. Peace. --Boston (talk) 05:38, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
