At present the lede of the article's first sentence merely says that Mr Niedermayer was only "kidnapped" by the IRA and only adds that he "died in their custody" in a subsequent sentence, this is clear obfuscation in order to minimise the IRA's culpability. The assault on Niedermayer with a blunt instrument was no mere accident, while it is not clear whether or not his death was specifically murder, the assault he suffered which caused his death was certainly intentional; to say otherwise is a denial of the known facts.
Wikipedia does not use such language to describe other cases where a person was unlawfully killed by a detaining organization, whether it be a state or a violent non-state actor and whether the death was ultimately determined to be murder or manslaughter; they frankly state they were killed by the forces holding them. 92.30.2.106 (talk) 18:35, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
