Coronavirus: Two passengers dead from quarantined Diamond Princess
Two Japanese passengers who contracted the new coronavirus on board a cruise ship quarantined in Japan have died, officials say.
Both were in their 80s with underlying health conditions. They were being treated in hospitals after being taken off the Diamond Princess last week. At least 621 people on the ship tested positive for the virus, named Covid-19, the biggest cluster outside China. The coronavirus, which originated in China's Hubei province last year, causes pneumonia-like symptoms. Overall, there have now been 2,118 deaths and nearly 75,000 confirmed infections recorded in mainland China. On Thursday, South Korea confirmed its first coronavirus death. Japan's neighbour also reported a sharp rise in virus cases, most of them from a newly identified cluster at a large religious community. -

Yeah, but there is bad murdering someone (killing someone innocent) and there is good murdering someone (protecting society or serving justice) and then there is not murdering someone (convicted falsely.)
So far, knowing what we know about him now, it's suggestive that there is at least a decent chance that his original murder wasn't such a bad thing. We know nothing about it.

I'd rather not get into the dregs of figuring out when it's "okay to murder."

Well, here's a good rule of thumb: It's always ok to kill child molesters, politicians, and ticket scalpers.

Not just "ok", but I think you get a bonus from this. Like it is "ok" to kill in self defense, that's a neutral. But killing a child molester is a "good" and killing a child trafficker is an "excellent". He should get "offset credits" to other crimes based on those.

Also the crazy amount of money saved by having two less life-long prisoners.

Which is about $2.8 million per prisoner for 35 years, or about $81k per year. (in California) (if the cost doesn't increase every year, which it does)

Are you saying this is expensive or cheap?

Brazil: Murder rate spikes in Ceará state as police strike
The authorities in Brazil say 147 people have been murdered in the north-eastern state of Ceará in the first five days of a military police strike.
The homicide rate is five times higher than usual, despite the deployment of the army to patrol the streets. The violence has led to the cancellation of carnival festivities in several cities at what is the height of the summer holiday season. The police began their strike on 19 February, demanding a pay rise. -
Coronavirus: Iran's deputy health minister tests positive as outbreak worsens
Iran's deputy health minister and an MP have both tested positive for the new coronavirus, as it struggles to contain an outbreak that has killed 16.
The country is one of three hot-spots outside China causing concern that the virus could be becoming a pandemic. The deputy minister, Iraj Harirchi, had on Monday denied covering up the scale of the outbreak. He appeared to be in discomfort as he spoke to reporters. Iran has reported 95 cases, but the actual number is thought to be higher. The director general of the World Health Organization (WHO) has said the sudden increase in cases in the country is "deeply concerning". -
