Talk:Secretary of Belgian embassy murdered in New Delhi

Diplomat?

is a secretary a diplomat? Aleichem 14:23, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

A regular, I-do-typing-and-filing secretary isn't, but they generally don't employ a driver. Note it is Secretary (capitalised). --Brian McNeil / ^talk 14:58, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

The source say: "embassy official" (IBN), "embassy staff" (AP), "employee of the Belgian embassy" (DailyIndia and De Standaard)". Judging from Diplomatic_rank#Bilateral_diplomacy, she might classify as one, but it's better not to say so, IMO, because (1) it's not certain (2) the general idea of a diplomat is very high-ranked, I think. Also, having a driver doesn't prove anything, you know how cheap they are in India for a foreignor? --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 00:33, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Age

I now have three sources for the story and three different ages reported for the victim. 35, 40 and 45. Any advance on 45? --Brian McNeil / ^talk 14:58, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

TimesNow says she was 45, so that's probably the most accurate figure. Also, most sources are refering to her as "diplomat". PVJ^(Talk)_{(Articles I have written)} 15:05, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

I found a profile for her on a travel site she belonged to that gives her age as 47. http://voyageforum.com/membres/isadelhi/ TRWBW 16:54, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Why do you need such informations ? I'm the brother of the victim
