the last AfD was almost 3 years ago with no consensus. whilst the murder is unfortunate, I don't see how it meets WP:VICTIM or WP:EVENT

KeepLeaning keep-- is there any reason to think that a consensus has changed to delete? No reason has been given by the nominator other than that three years has passed (and why does that matter?). Looks like it meets
WP:GNG to me, and per Caballero certainly has more than passing coverage in news sources; being the subject of at least some scholarly research makes me pretty confident that the subject is notable. The fact there was play based on the murder does add weight as well. --

Changing to keep per this source
[1] (which would have taken the nominator a minute to find on google). Published this year and discussing the crime and it's aftermath. Establishes that there is continuing coverage. --

Keep Although Shudde's source is part of a series on murdered children run by the stuff website, it combined with the other coverage is enough to push this into
WP:GNG territory and show some lasting impact.

Keep In addition to the persuasive sources brought by
User:Caballero1967, I ran a news archives search, coming up not only with coverage of the event, trial, appeals by thee convicted murderers, and so forth, but with additional coverage, including coverage in
The Dominion Post (Wellington) that includes, for example, coverage of a play about the event
[2] (Stage take on teenager's killing: [2 Edition] CARDY, Tom. Dominion Post [Wellington, New Zealand] 27 Mar 2007). Certainly, this death attained national notability.
