• Whose definition here is being used? There are no citations. Also, how would a case like John Bodkin Adams fit in? He was tried for murdering Edith Alice Morrell in Britain in 1957, and the crux of the case was whether he had ordered nurses caring for the patient to give dangerously high doses of opiates to the patient. He was acquitted but according to police archives seems to have been guilty - would this not be 'proxy' murder of a different kind? Getting an unwitting nurse to do the dirty deed while his hands would remain relatively clean? Any thoughts?Malick78 16:18, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Considering the article is currently classified as a stub, and therefore could certainly use more information, I'd suggest you Be Bold and add it. I would myself, but I'm completely unfamiliar with the case. ;) 70.125.132.204 (talk) 03:25, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
