Keep as this event is supported by significant amount of reliable sources, and is absolutely notable, as per
WP:DIVERSE. Secondly, this event gained massive and repeated coverage, and was reported by all the large news agencies of the country, as well as foreign news agencies, as per
WP:GEOSCOPE. Third, this event is very recent, and is reported for more than half a month (not for just 2-3 days), which is enough to make the event notable, otherwise events such as
January 2017 Melbourne car attack and
Zama Suicide Pact Slayings also wouldn't be notable. One may search in google about the event.

Can you provide any sources of coverage in reliable sources from more than a week after the event? When I looked online, I saw a big flurry of press for the day this hit the news and a day or two after, then nothing. This is pretty common for sensationalist crime stories, which generally are not found to be notable. signed, Rosguilltalk19:33, 9 March 2019 (UTC)reply
Keep The article is sufficiently sourced. Timing is irrelevant as that's the point of news: it's new. Most stories don't get coverage after a few days.

Delete. Lack of
WP:SUSTAINED coverage. There was a bunch of single newscycle coverage in mid-January when this broke. This has died down - I don't see anything at all from February onward.
