"::::::We're going in circles. I saw your opening comment already, and I've already explained why COMMONNAME appears to be against ""assassination,"" which is ""how this article is different"" than yours.  I could just as easily link to the 440 articles that start with ""murder of"" and ask you why this article is different; it's pointless.  Even if every single other article on a political death used ""Assassination of"", it would still be irrelevant to *this* article, WP:OTHERSTUFF. 
 ::::::I'll double-check and see if there's been a shift the past few days, then open a RM if the sources continue to appear to prefer ""murder"" so strongly.
