See WP:BLP1E. This person has no historical significance warranting an article, nor are there any truly biographical sources (where he, rather than the one event he gained notoriety for, is the subject of the source). Wikipedia shouldn't be a publisher of true crime accounts. He committed a murder that was briefly the subject of news reports, and that is all. But Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Delete.

 * Keep or Merge. The crime itself is one event. His inclusion as one of only 50 offenders in the UK to be issued a whole life tariff seems to move him beyond WP:BLP1E. At most, merge the article with the man's entry on the List of prisoners with life tariffs (please note most of the prisoners listed have separate Wikipedia entries for their name/crimes--if deleting this man, why not delete them all?).  --Whoosit (talk) 07:22, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Deleting them all if they aren't historically significant sounds like a good idea. Joe Chill (talk) 15:27, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
