Interesting read, and a strikingly well-written article.

Listing the suspects' DOBs helps to avoid mistaken identities (I'm not sure that publishing the names of people who haven't yet been convicted is all good, but if we do we should at least make sure there's no confusion with someone else).

Listing specific statutes allows readers to do some fact-checking.

All the quotes were from relevantly informed sources, and the photo in the original came from FWC.

And there is this at the end of the original story:

"Do you see a typo or an error? Let us know (hyperlink)."
