There's a teen on trial down here at the moment.  He went around stabbing women cos he felt like it, basically.  He admired serial killers and wanted to kill someone.  He wounded 4 quite seriously.

It's not headline news.  Why?  It was pretty "terrifying" for the women concerned and the wider society in which they lived whilst he was on the loose.  But as he had no religious motivation or affiliation, and there was no race or ethnicity card to play, the media aren't very interested.  

So, it is possible not to go OTT reporting these things, if the will were there.
