The result was   delete. In the light of WP:BLP, an article that begins "... is an alleged cannibal" would need to have more and well-argued support to be kept.  Sandstein  08:08, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

It provides no additional information and from what I'm told Wikipedia is not the news. Sparticus88 (talk) 05:00, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: Agree that Wikipedia is not the news, also WP:ONEEVENT and WP:BLP1E would seem to apply. Shearonink (talk) 05:26, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - fails WP:GNG. Not news does not apply as most articles about murder/crime is built on news.--BabbaQ (talk) 14:23, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm going to say Delete as well. This is a BLP1E - specifically, a biography of a person only known because he's suspected of a crime - which means we should be reluctant about keeping it. And in contrast to Luka Magnotta, to name another suspected criminal recently kept at AFD, I don't think he's received the level of international media attention to clearly pass the notability test. If this article is kept, it should be renamed to Murder of Kujoe Bonsafo Agyei-Kodie and focused on the crime, not the suspect. Robofish (talk) 11:49, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Commenters don't appear to be very familiar with the subject. There are allegations of multiple crimes. The fact that the suspect was released on bail following a brutal attack with a baseball bat is a major feature of the case and a source of controversy. Like the Virginia Tech shooting there are questions about how this troubled individual was handled by various authorities, family and friends. The case is receiving ample coverage. The aspect of cannibalism also makes it particularly notable. The suspect is already being grouped with other famous cannibals. It's unfortunate that there has been a rush to delete this subject of obvious and enduring psychological, law enforcement, educational institution interest so soon after the article was started.
