- Isla Cristina, ES

- Lyon, FR
Correction: Two Lyon Capitale sources added after lyoncapitale.fr was admitted to the FR approved-source list, resolving the source-readability block and the standing scope question: they report that an investigation was opened for tentative de meurtre. The incident_date of 2026-08-23 is confirmed by them — the stabbing occurred at about 1.30am on the night of Saturday 22 to Sunday 23 August.
- Angers, FR
Correction: Released to published by maintainer decision after ten days blocked on the source-readability criterion. No field changed; the Ouest-France article body remains inaccessible and every recorded field continues to rest on the publisher-authored RSS standfirst quoted in the moderator notes.
- Plovdiv, BG
Correction: Three further juvenile suspects were charged and detained on 27 August 2026, bringing the total number of accused to eight. The victim's age is reported as 37 throughout; age_range is unchanged. A fourth BNT News source was added and a second charged status event recorded.

- Amsterdam, NL
Correction: incident_date corrected from the court-hearing date 2026-08-27 to 2024-08-16, the date of the attack, and placeholder coordinates [0, 0] replaced with the Amsterdam centroid. victim age_range set to 37, her age at the time of the attack, and sex to F. judicial_status raised from alleged to on_trial.

- Gosen-Neu-Zittau, DE
Judicial status recorded: Alleged.
- Torino, IT
Judicial status recorded: Alleged.
- Caen, FR
Correction: incident_date corrected from the intake value 2026-08-27 to 2026-08-26: both sources place the attack on the evening of Wednesday 26 August 2026, Le Figaro at 'vers 22 heures' and franceinfo at 'vers 22h15', and the Le Figaro item was itself published at 23h57 on 26 August. slug and filename updated to match.
- Plovdiv, BG

- Plovdiv, BG
Judicial status recorded: On trial.
- Amsterdam, NL
Judicial status recorded: On trial.
- Malmö, SE

- Krakow, PL
Judicial status recorded: Alleged.
- Krakow, PL
Correction: incident_date corrected from 2026-08-25 to 2026-08-24, and the slug updated to match. The two cited sources disagree on the day and the conflict is resolved in favour of RMF24, which is internally consistent: RMF24 published on Tuesday 25 August at 10:34 and places the discovery on 'poniedziałkowe popołudnie' after 17:00, which is Monday 24 August 2026. TVN24 says the body was found 'we wtorek' (Tuesday), but TVN24's own first publication is timestamped Tuesday 25 August at 17:04 — four minutes after the discovery time both sources give — so its weekday cannot be right. The record previously read 'Monday 25 August 2026', which is internally contradictory because 25 August 2026 is a Tuesday.
- Gryfice, PL
Judicial status recorded: Alleged.
- Gryfice, PL
Correction: city corrected from the feed-extracted "szczecin" to "gryfice": Szczecin is the RMF24 regional desk, not the scene. The killing took place in the village of Skalin in Gryfice County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship. Placeholder coordinates [0, 0] replaced with the Gryfice centroid [53.9167, 15.2000], the nearest town with a stable centroid.
- Paris, FR
Judicial status recorded: Alleged.
- Krakow, PL
Correction: Placeholder coordinates [0, 0] replaced with the Kraków centroid [50.0647, 19.9450]; the source places the scene on Fatimska Street in the Bieńczyce district of Kraków.
- Marbella, ES
Correction: city corrected from the feed-extracted "malaga" to "marbella": the source places the killing in Marbella, in the province of Málaga, not in the provincial capital. Coordinates updated from the Málaga city centroid to the Marbella centroid [36.5099, -4.8863].
- Leicester, GB
Judicial status recorded: Convicted.
- Leicester, GB
Correction: judicial_status raised from on_trial to convicted following the verdict and sentence at Leicester Crown Court on 25 August 2026: the defendant was found not guilty of murder but guilty of manslaughter and jailed for 10 years. The defendant's age is corrected from 18 to 19, as reported at conviction. Two follow-up sources added; merged from the duplicate draft opened as GitHub issue #696.
- Marbella, ES
Judicial status recorded: Alleged.
- Lyon, FR
Judicial status recorded: Alleged.
- Lyon, FR
Correction: incident_date corrected from 2026-08-24, the publication date of the broadcast item, to 2026-08-23: the item's own title places the stabbing 'dans la nuit de samedi a dimanche', and the Saturday-to-Sunday night before Monday 24 August 2026 runs from 22 to 23 August. slug and filename updated to match.
- Berlin, DE
Correction: incident_date corrected from 2026-08-23, the article publication date, to 2026-08-21, the Friday morning the body was found; the source states the body must have lain at the scene for some time, so 2026-08-21 is the closed end of the window rather than a confirmed date of death, and the prose states the bound explicitly. victim.age_range set to 46 and sex to F. The source published_date of 2026-08-23 carried at intake is confirmed rather than changed: the article reports that the witness appeal was issued 'am Sonntag', and the Sunday in question is 23 August 2026. slug and filename updated to match the corrected incident_date.
- Oostende, BE
Correction: incident_date corrected from the article publication date 2026-08-23 to 2026-08-20, the evening the body was found; the killing itself is undated because the body was already decomposed, so 2026-08-20 is recorded as the closed end of the window rather than a confirmed date of death, and the prose states the bound explicitly. Placeholder coordinates [0, 0] replaced with the Oostende centroid [51.2247, 2.9153]. victim.sex set to F. judicial_status raised from alleged to charged. slug and filename updated to match.
- Limerick, IE
Correction: placeholder coordinates [0, 0] replaced with the Limerick city centroid [52.6638, -8.6267]. victim.sex set to F and age_range to 30-40 from the reported 33-year-old woman.
- Dortmund, DE
Correction: victim fields filled from the source: sex M and age_range 40-50 from "Der 49-Jährige wurde am Morgen tot in seiner Wohnung im Stadtteil Hörde gefunden".
- Maxéville, FR
Correction: incident_date corrected from the article publication date 2026-08-22 to 2026-08-19: the source places the shooting on the Wednesday evening, "mercredi soir, vers 21H15", and the prosecutor refers to "la fusillade du 19 août". city corrected from "nancy", the seat of the prosecuting parquet, to "maxéville", the commune where the shooting took place, and coordinates moved from the Nancy centroid to the Maxéville centroid. judicial_status raised from alleged to charged on the mise en examen for assassinat. slug updated to match.
- Nice, FR
Correction: victim.age_range set to 60-70 from an ICI Azur (Radio France) report added as a third source, which gives the victim's age as 60 three times; the age had been left unknown because no previously approved source stated it.
- Borgo Mezzanone, IT
Correction: incident_date corrected from the article publication date 2026-08-23 to 2026-08-04, the evening the victim was last seen and the probable date of death given the advanced decomposition of the body; the autopsy had not yet established the date at the time of the cited reports. city corrected from "foggia", the seat of the prosecuting Procura, to "borgo mezzanone", the locality where the body was found, and the placeholder coordinates [0, 0] replaced with the Borgo Mezzanone centroid. slug updated to match.
- București, RO
Correction: incident_date corrected from the article publication date 2026-08-22 to 2026-03-31, the evening of the killing as stated in the source. The cited article is a judicial follow-up reporting the arrest of an accomplice, not a report of a new incident. Placeholder coordinates [0, 0] replaced with the București centroid [44.4268, 26.1025]. victim.sex set to M. judicial_status raised from alleged to charged. slug updated to match.
- Limerick, IE
Judicial status recorded: Alleged.
- Dortmund, DE
Judicial status recorded: Alleged.
- Cattolica, IT
Correction: crime_category corrected from homicide to attempted_homicide: the victim survived and the suspect is held on suspicion of tentato omicidio. city corrected from "rimini", the province named in the intake issue, to "cattolica", the town where the attack took place, and coordinates moved from the Rimini centroid to the Cattolica centroid. victim.age_range set to 40-50 and sex to F from the reported 44-year-old wife. slug updated to match.
- Oostende, BE
Judicial status recorded: Charged.
- Maxéville, FR
Judicial status recorded: Charged.
- Rotterdam, NL
Correction: incident_date corrected from 2026-08-19, the date the body was found, to 2026-08-18: the police investigation is focused on the night of Monday 17 to Tuesday 18 August, and officers appealed for camera footage covering 17 August 23:00 to 18 August 03:00. Placeholder coordinates [0, 0] replaced with the Rotterdam centroid. victim.age_range set to 30-40 and sex to M from the reported 38-year-old man. Two accessible sources added because the originally cited Telegraaf URL is hard-blocked; the Telegraaf URL is retained. slug updated to match the corrected date.
- Alençon, FR
Correction: city corrected from "caen", the seat of the prosecutor who announced the case, to "alençon" in the Orne, where the killing took place, and coordinates moved from the Caen centroid to the Alençon centroid. incident_date corrected from 2026-08-20, the date of the announcement, to 2026-08-18, the night of Monday to Tuesday given by the prosecutor. victim.age_range corrected from 20-30 to 60-70: the intake heuristic took "25 ans" from the age range of the suspects, but the victim is described as a man in his sixties. victim.sex set to M. judicial_status set to charged. slug updated to match.
- Saedinenie, BG
Correction: judicial_status raised from alleged to charged after the Plovdiv District Court remand hearing of 21 August 2026, at which the detained former police officer was formally accused of the killing and kept in custody. A second BNT News report was added as a source and a charged status event was recorded.
- Lisboa, PT
Correction: follow-up reporting merged from GitHub issue #651 on 2026-08-22: the PSP has opened an internal inquiry into an alleged refusal by officers to respond to this killing. One source added; no field values changed.
- Cervia, IT
Correction: city corrected from "milano" to "cervia": the intake heuristic matched the place name Milano Marittima, which is a frazione of Cervia in the province of Ravenna and not the city of Milan; coordinates moved from the Milan centroid to the Cervia centroid. crime_category corrected from homicide to attempted_homicide: the victim survived and the suspect is held for tentato omicidio. incident_date corrected from 2026-08-21, the date of the ANSA report, to 2026-08-16, the night of the attack. victim.age_range set to 40-50 and sex to M. judicial_status set to charged. A readable second source was added because the ANSA page is behind a consent wall. slug updated to match.
- Camponogara, IT
Correction: follow-up reporting merged from GitHub issue #668 on 2026-08-22: the first autopsy findings confirm strangulation, and three earlier complaints against the same man by three other former partners are now reported. Two sources added; no field values changed.
- Borgo Mezzanone, IT
Judicial status recorded: Alleged.
- Zaragoza, ES
Correction: incident_date corrected from 2026-08-21, the date of the arrests, to 2026-08-02, the date of the attack as stated by the source. crime_category corrected from homicide to attempted_homicide: both victims survived and one suspect was remanded for homicidio en grado de tentativa.

- Ski, NO
Correction: incident_date corrected from 2026-08-21, the date of the trial report, to 2024-12-14, the Saturday the two victims were found killed. city corrected from "oslo" to "ski" and placeholder coordinates [0, 0] replaced with the Ski centroid. Two victims recorded in victims[]; victim kept as the aggregate legacy field with unknown values, since the two differ in age and sex. judicial_status set to on_trial.

- Glasgow, GB
Judicial status recorded: Alleged.
- Nice, FR
Correction: incident_date corrected from 2026-08-15 to 2026-08-16 and the slug updated to match: a France 3 report added as a second source times the emergency call precisely at 00h34 on Sunday 16 August, which is the calendar date of the attack even though Le Figaro framed it as the Saturday night.
- Swarzedz, PL
Correction: crime_category changed from attempted_homicide to homicide: the victim died in hospital on 2026-08-18, three days after being shot. judicial_status raised from alleged to charged, victim.age_range set to 40-50 from the reported age of 46, and the slug updated to match. The open scope question that had blocked this record is closed by the victim's death.
- Toulon, FR
Correction: Draft 2023-01-01-toulon-homicide-609 (GitHub issue #609) was merged into this record as a follow-up on the same case and deleted. Its Liberation source was added here and the body prose was replaced with the anonymized English summary written for that draft, which carries the later reporting. The number of family members under formal investigation is updated from five to six. incident_date remains 2026-07-01, the date the Toulon prosecutor confirmed the murder hypothesis; it is a reporting-date placeholder, not a date of death. Liberation dates the pattern of offences to 2011-2023 and gives no date of death for either victim, so the true dates remain unknown and are flagged for a human to establish with the Toulon parquet.
- Forlì, IT
Correction: incident_date corrected from the within-month placeholder 2026-04-01 to 2025-11-25, the date of death of the victim named in the giudizio immediato, established from a readable ANSA report added as a second source. location_precision raised from approximate_city to city. slug updated to match.

- Kronberg Im Taunus, DE
Judicial status recorded: Charged.
- Tromsø, NO
Judicial status recorded: Charged.
- Tromsø, NO
Correction: Placeholder coordinates [0, 0] replaced with the Tromsø centroid [69.6492, 18.9553]; lib/moderation/data/no.json does not exist, so the centroid was supplied directly. judicial_status raised from alleged to charged (siktet for drap). Victim fields set from the sources. slug updated to use an ASCII form of the city name.
- Colleferro, IT
Judicial status recorded: Alleged.
- Colleferro, IT
Correction: city corrected from "roma" to "colleferro" and coordinates moved from the Rome centroid to Colleferro [41.7278, 13.0058]. victim.age_range set to 50-60 from the reported age of 50. slug updated to match.
- Sandnes, NO
Correction: Placeholder coordinates [0, 0] replaced with the Sandnes centroid [58.8524, 5.7352]; lib/moderation/data/no.json does not exist, so the centroid was supplied directly. judicial_status raised from alleged to charged (siktet for drap). Victim fields set from the sources.
- Trebisacce, IT
Correction: city corrected from "bari" to "trebisacce" and coordinates moved from the Bari centroid to Trebisacce [39.8683, 16.5289]. Bari appears in the source only as the port where the suspect was intercepted; the death occurred in the province of Cosenza and the body was found outside the Trebisacce hospital. slug updated to match.
- Angers, FR
Judicial status recorded: Charged.
- Malaga, ES
Correction: crime_category corrected from homicide to attempted_homicide: the victim survived and the arrest is expressly for a delito de tentativa de homicidio. victim.age_range set to 20-30 from the reported age of 23.
- Uppsala, SE
Correction: Placeholder coordinates [0, 0] replaced with the Uppsala centroid [59.8586, 17.6389]; lib/moderation/data/se.json does not exist, so the centroid was supplied directly. Victim fields set from the source.
- Lisboa, PT
Correction: crime_category corrected from attempted_homicide to homicide: the intake heuristic read the issue title, but the victim died of his injuries and the death was confirmed the same afternoon. Placeholder coordinates [0, 0] replaced with the Lisbon centroid [38.7223, -9.1393]; lib/moderation/data/pt.json does not exist, so the centroid was supplied directly. Victim fields set from the source. slug updated to match.
- Camponogara, IT
Correction: victim.age_range reset from 40-50 to unknown: the age of 43 that the intake heuristic used belongs to the suspect, who is named in the standfirst, not to the victim, for whom no age is reported. judicial_status changed from alleged to dismissed, as the suspect died by suicide immediately after the killing and no proceedings against him are possible. location_precision lowered from city to approximate_city.
- Prato, IT
Correction: crime_category corrected from homicide to attempted_homicide: the man survived and the officer who shot him is under investigation for tentato omicidio. incident_date corrected from the reporting date 2026-08-17 to 2026-08-16, the Sunday of the shooting. victim.sex set to M from the sources. slug updated to match.
- Budapest, HU
Correction: Placeholder coordinates [0, 0] replaced with the Budapest centroid [47.4979, 19.0402]; lib/moderation/data/hu.json does not exist, so the centroid was supplied directly. victim.sex set to M from the source.
- Rennes, FR
Judicial status recorded: Alleged.
- Rennes, FR
Correction: incident_date corrected from the article publication date 2026-08-18 to 2026-08-16, the Sunday evening on which the body was found. victim.sex set to F from the sources' consistent description of a female resident.
- Nice, FR
Correction: victim fields corrected: the intake heuristic had recorded the 33-year-old man who intervened as the victim (sex M, age 30-40). The victim is the woman who was stabbed; sex set to F and age_range reset to unknown, as no age is reported for her. incident_date corrected from the article publication date 2026-08-17 to 2026-08-15, the Saturday night of the attack. slug updated to match.
- Isla Cristina, ES
Judicial status recorded: Alleged.
- Isla Cristina, ES
Correction: city corrected from the province capital "huelva" to "isla cristina", where the shooting took place, and coordinates moved from the Huelva centroid to Isla Cristina [37.2006, -7.3172]. incident_date corrected from the article publication date 2026-08-18 to 2026-08-16, the Sunday night of the shooting. The single victim entry, which the intake heuristic filled with the 16-year-old alone, was replaced by a victims[] list of four; the legacy aggregate victim field was reset to unknown because the victims do not share values. slug updated to match.
- Swarzedz, PL
Judicial status recorded: Charged.
- Montpellier, FR
Correction: incident_date corrected from the article publication date 2026-08-17 to 2026-08-15, the Saturday of the shooting. slug updated to match.

- Hohen Neuendorf, DE
Correction: incident_date corrected from 2026-08-14, the date the body was found, to 2026-08-12, the latest date on which the killing can have occurred. Post-mortem reporting establishes that the suspect died on the Wednesday afternoon, which was 12 August, so the killing cannot have taken place on the 14th. The value is the closed end of the window, not a confirmed date of death; superseded by the UNSTICK note of 2026-08-19 in moderator_notes.
- Den Haag, NL
Correction: Duplicate draft merged in. Intake issue #625 created data/incidents/nl/2026-08-17-den-haag-homicide-625.md from an AD follow-up feature about the same victim; the AD URL was moved onto this record and the duplicate draft was deleted.
- Paphos, CY
Correction: Second duplicate draft merged in. Intake issue #629 created data/incidents/cy/2026-08-18-paphos-homicide-629.md from the Cyprus Mail report of the 18 August remand decision, which is the custody hearing this record already anticipated. The source URL was moved here and the duplicate draft deleted.
- Quartu Sant'elena, IT
Correction: Follow-up merged in from intake issue #623: the second victim, who was recorded here as having survived, died on 17 August 2026 after 25 days in intensive care.

The shooting took place in Swarzedz, a separate town about 15 km east of Poznan; Poznan appears only because it is the regional dateline of the cited report.
- Palermo, IT
Correction: victim.sex corrected from F to M and victim.age_range from the 40-50 band to the exact age 45. The intake heuristic read the feminine grammatical article in "La vittima" as a female victim; the source states the victim was a man.

- Mannheim, DE
Correction: incident_date resolved from the 2026-03-01 within-month placeholder to the actual date, 2026-03-11. Two independent German outlets reporting the same Mannheim prosecutor's announcement give the date explicitly and agree; see moderator_notes for the quotations and for why they are not cited as sources.

- Den Haag, NL
Correction: The nu.nl URL about the Rijswijk hotel-terrace shooting of 1 May 2025 was moved off this record to its own record, data/incidents/nl/2025-05-01-rijswijk-homicide-580.md, where it belongs. It had been cited here since intake without supporting any statement in this record. No source URL was lost.

- Barreiro, PT
Correction: crime_category corrected from attempted_homicide to homicide: the victim died. incident_date corrected from the intake default 2026-08-13 (the publication date of the cited Correio da Manha article) to 2026-08-11, the night of the shooting. Placeholder coordinates [0, 0] replaced with the Barreiro centroid [38.6634, -9.0722]. Victim age_range and sex filled from the Jornal de Noticias report.
- Montpellier, FR
Correction: judicial_status raised from alleged to charged: the 17-year-old who had presented himself to police was placed under formal investigation (mis en examen) for murder and remanded in provisional detention on 2026-08-12. Two sources added, and the account of the attack expanded from the France 3 Occitanie report. Follow-up draft 2026-08-13-montpellier-attempted-homicide-584, created from GitHub issue #584, was merged into this record and deleted as a duplicate.
- Den Haag, NL
Correction: incident_date corrected again, from 2026-08-03 to 2026-08-08. The previous value misread the cited NOS report, which is timestamped 08-08-2026 03:48 and describes the shooting as having happened "vannacht"; 3 August 2026 was a Monday, not the Saturday the report refers to. The NOS source entry's published_date was corrected from 2026-08-03 to 2026-08-08 for the same reason. The police press release of 8 August 2026 was added as a source and confirms the victim's age of 34, which until now rested only on an unreadable De Telegraaf lede.
- Birmingham, GB
Correction: victim.sex set to M and victim.age_range to 30-40 from BBC reporting, which gives the victim as a man of 32. judicial_status raised from alleged to charged: a 20-year-old was charged with murder on 2026-08-09. Two accessible approved sources (BBC News) added, clearing the standing readable-source block.
- Mannheim, DE
Correction: incident_date corrected from 2026-08-10, which was the date the charge was announced rather than the date of the killing, to 2026-03-01 as a within-month placeholder. Every accessible source dates the killing to March 2026 and none gives a calendar date; leaving a charge-announcement date in the incident_date field was a positive factual error. The within-month placeholder convention follows 2026-08-12-wiener-neustadt-homicide-565 and 2026-08-11-wroclaw-homicide-575.
- Edinburgh, GB
Correction: victim.age_range set to 30-40 from the BBC report, which gives the victim's age as 30. An accessible approved source (BBC News) was added, clearing the standing readable-source block.
- Gent, BE
Correction: incident_date corrected from the article publication date 2026-08-13 to 2025-08-13, the date of the killing. The cited article is a one-year-anniversary feature, not a report of a fresh incident. Placeholder coordinates [0, 0] replaced with the Gent city centroid [51.0543, 3.7174]. Victim age_range and sex filled from the article.

- Toulouse, FR
Correction: crime_category corrected from homicide to attempted_homicide: both officers survived and the Toulouse prosecutor opened an investigation for tentative de meurtre. incident_date corrected from the article publication date 2026-08-11 to 2026-08-10, the Monday evening on which the attack took place. victim.sex changed from M to unknown — the intake inference took 'un homme' from the description of the attacker, not of a victim — and a two-entry victims[] block added.
- Montpellier, FR
Judicial status recorded: Charged.
- San Pedro De Alcántara, ES
Correction: city corrected from "malaga" to "san pedro de alcántara", the town in the municipality of Marbella where the killing took place, with coordinates moved to that centroid [36.4848, -4.9889]. incident_date corrected from the article publication date 2026-08-11 to 2026-08-09, the date of the killing.
- Berlin, DE
Correction: incident_date corrected from 2026-08-10 to 2026-08-09. The previous value was the publication date of the coverage; the Berlin public prosecutor's office states the shooting took place at about 23:50 on the Sunday, and 9 August 2026 was a Sunday.

- Merchtem, BE
Correction: city corrected from "brussel" to "merchtem", with coordinates moved from the placeholder [0, 0] to the Merchtem centroid [50.9578, 4.2313]. Brussels is where the pre-trial chamber sits, not where the child died. incident_date corrected from the article publication date 2026-08-12 to 2026-08-06, the night on which the boy was found dead.
- Verona, IT
Correction: incident_date corrected from the article publication date 2026-08-11 to 2026-07-26, the date of the assault; the victim died twelve days later in hospital. victim.sex corrected from F to M: the intake inference took the grammatical gender of the Italian noun 'la vittima' rather than the victim's sex, and the article describes the victim as 'un cittadino extracomunitario'.
- Stockholm, SE
Judicial status recorded: Alleged.
- Stockholm, SE
Correction: Placeholder coordinates [0, 0] replaced with the Stockholm city centroid [59.3293, 18.0686]. incident_date corrected from the article publication date 2026-08-12 to 2026-07-24, the date of the shooting.

Wiener Neustadt is where the main suspect is held and where the prosecuting authority sits, not where the killing took place. incident_date corrected from the article publication date 2026-08-12 to 2026-05-01 as a month placeholder; superseded by the UNSTICK note of 2026-08-19 in moderator_notes.
- Amsterdam, NL
Correction: crime_category corrected from attempted_homicide to homicide: the victim died at the scene. incident_date corrected from the article publication date 2026-08-11 to 2026-04-14, the evening of the stabbing.

Placeholder coordinates [0, 0] replaced with the Leicester city centroid [52.6369, -1.1398].
- Bocholtz, NL

A three-entry victims[] block was added.
- Fuengirola, ES
Correction: city corrected from the provincial capital "málaga" to the actual incident location "fuengirola", with coordinates moved to the Fuengirola centroid [36.5397, -4.6255]. incident_date corrected from the article publication date 2026-08-11 to 2024-12-07, the date of the killing. victim.age_range corrected from 10-20 to 20-30 and the inference note dropped: the age 17 in the intake text is the suspect's age at the time of the offence, not the victim's; the victim was 25.

Correction: incident_date corrected from the article date (2026-08-03) to 2025-10-01 and city from the province name 'vorarlberg' to the municipality of Mäder (Bezirk Feldkirch); slug updated to match. The Kurier piece reports the verdict, not the killing: the court found the act took place 'im Oktober vergangenen Jahres' — October 2025. The day of the month is not reported; 2025-10-01 is a month-precision placeholder flagged under NEEDS_HUMAN_REVIEW.
- Coín, ES
Correction: incident_date corrected from the article date (2026-08-03) to 2020-01-01 and city from 'malaga' to Coín; slug updated to match. The 20 Minutos piece reports an arrest, not a fresh killing: the victim was a 59-year-old resident of Coín whose disappearance was reported in 2020 and who the suspect has confessed to killing at his home in Coín. Málaga is the province, not the place of the killing; Alhaurín de la Torre is where the remains were scattered and recovered, not where the death occurred. Only the year 2020 is established, so 2020-01-01 is a year-precision placeholder flagged under NEEDS_HUMAN_REVIEW.
- Roma, IT
Correction: crime_category corrected from homicide to attempted_homicide, incident_date from the article date (2026-08-01) to 2026-07-17, and victim sex from F to M. The intake record conflated three unrelated Italian stories carried in the same feed batch. Its prose and its first source describe the shooting of a 53-year-old man in Valle Aurelia, Rome, on the evening of 17 July 2026, for which two suspects were detained on 1 August; the female victim aged 50-60 was mistakenly taken from the second source, a separate Rome femicide investigation into a fall from a terrace. incident_date now records the shooting, not the date of the detentions.
- Toulon, FR
Correction: country corrected from ES to FR, city from 'barcelona' to 'toulon', incident_date from 2026-07-24 to 2026-07-13, and victim sex set to M; id reassigned from es-2026-0008 to fr-2026-0013 and the file moved from data/incidents/es/ accordingly. Barcelona was only where the fugitive was arrested on 24 July 2026; the shooting itself took place in Toulon, in the Var, during the preceding week. The victim's death, which the original La Vanguardia source left open by describing him only as evacuated in a critical condition, is confirmed by corroborating Spanish national-police reporting.
- Paris, FR
Judicial status recorded: Charged.
- Paris, FR
Correction: incident_date corrected from the article date (2026-08-02) to 2023-03-20 and victim sex set to F. Le Figaro's 2 August 2026 piece is pre-trial reporting ahead of an assize trial listed for January, not a report of a fresh incident: the killing took place on the morning of Monday 20 March 2023 in the hall of an apartment building in the 12th arrondissement of Paris.
- Brussel, BE
Correction: crime_category corrected from homicide to attempted_homicide and incident_date corrected from the article date (2026-07-31) to 2026-07-30: VRT NWS reports a knife attack on Thursday morning in which two people were wounded and none died, and the two arrested suspects are held on a charge of attempted murder ('poging tot moord').

Correction: incident_date corrected from the article date (2026-08-01) to 2026-07-29, the date of the killing as stated by the Polícia Judiciária.
- Nicosia, CY
Correction: crime_category corrected from homicide to attempted_homicide, and incident_date corrected from the article date (2026-08-01) to 2026-07-29, the date of the shooting. The intake headline reads 'suspected murder', but the article body describes an attempted murder in which the victim survived.
- Rees, DE
Correction: country corrected from NL to DE, city from 'enschede' to 'rees' and incident_date from the article date (2026-07-31) to 2026-07-26: the victim lived in Enschede but was killed in a hotel in Rees, in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, where his body was found on Sunday 26 July 2026. The German investigation is led by the Kleve public prosecutor's office; the suspect was arrested in the Netherlands and Germany has issued a European arrest warrant seeking his extradition. id and slug updated to match the corrected country.
- Barcelona, ES
Correction: crime_category corrected from attempted_homicide to homicide: the source reports that the stabbed man died of his injuries in hospital.

Judicial status recorded: Alleged.
- Torrevieja, ES
Correction: city corrected from 'valencia' to 'torrevieja' and incident_date corrected from the article date (2026-07-11) to 2026-07-10. The intake clusterer read the city from La Vanguardia's 'local/valencia' regional section path; the killing took place in Torrevieja, in the province of Alicante.
- Gijón, ES
Correction: crime_category corrected from homicide to attempted_homicide and incident_date corrected from the article date (2026-07-31) to 2026-06-22: 20 Minutos reports an arrest for 'tentativa de homicidio' over the deliberate sabotage of a motorcycle's brakes, and dates the events themselves to 22 June — 'los hechos se remontan al pasado 22 de junio'. The intended victim survived. Slug updated to match.
- Milano, IT
Correction: This record covers one incident only: the killing of a 65-year-old interpreter in Milan on 13 June 2026, for which a 19-year-old was arrested and confessed. The second listed source (ilfattoquotidiano.it, 'omicidio-rogoredo-cinturrino-destituito', 2026-06-30) does not describe that incident — it concerns the separate Rogoredo homicide of 26 January 2026, in which a former police officer is accused of shooting a 28-year-old man. It was attached here on 2026-07-03 by an incorrect merge of follow-up drafts from GitHub issues #68 and #77. The Rogoredo homicide is now recorded separately as 2026-01-26-milano-homicide-466. Flagged for human repair: the archive rule forbids removing a source URL from an incident, so the mis-filed source is left in place pending that decision.
- Milano, IT
Correction: incident_date corrected from the article date (2026-07-31) to 2026-01-26: the ANSA report is a judicial follow-up and places the killing itself on 26 January in the Rogoredo woods in Milan. Slug updated to match.
- Hurdal, NO
Judicial status recorded: Charged.
- Hurdal, NO
Correction: city corrected from 'oslo' to 'hurdal' and incident_date corrected from the article date (2026-08-01) to 2025-08-05: NRK places the killing in the municipality of Hurdal on 5 August last year — 'En 28 år gammel mann er tiltalt for å ha drept sin mor i Hurdal 5. august i fjor.' The intake clusterer read 'oslo' from the NRK regional desk name (nrk.no/stor-oslo), which covers Greater Oslo including Hurdal, and mistook it for the city. Slug updated to match.
