It is typical that a female would be killed in this way in such a place

Pardon?? Typical? Are you referring to the many ritual sacrifices of women in the nights of full moon of the Maltese island? Seriously. In fact every time that I go visiting my wife's family in Malta I hear explosions. Please, in front of this horror let's try to not be stereotypical (using a merciful euphemism toward your comment). She was a free and brave journalist who died because she had the guts to say that the king is naked. Making her a sort of parody of a victim of a non-existent supposed culture of the femenine (hystorical "respect for the femenine" ..should lead to killing her in "this way" I really can't get the connection between your two sentences!) is offensive for her work and dedication to seek the truth at any cost. In front of such an execution, someone starts talking about typical ways of killing "a female"...as much as Italians talk loud and play guitar, Spanish dance the flamenco, Germans eat wurstel and English don't wash their genitals becouse don't have a bidet in the toilet. Please! please! Don't make me read this banality in front of this horror..
