This is news, but is it "news that good hackers would find interesting"? Does it belong on this site?

  It's about a well-known and formerly respected hacker.

    Some would say that for a certain definition of hacking this was a super-hack /s

      Please don't do this here.

  As it made it into the top ten, I would say it belongs by definition. You will have to look elsewhere for a curated site having an editorial policy that aligns precisely with your expectations.

  Someone else mentioned Hans Reiser, and it's on Hacker News for the same reason. Peter Madsen is very much so a hacker. but with submarines and rockets. You do have a point though, the only reason that some many is interested, is because the whole thing happened in a submarine. I doubt that it would make the headlines around the world if he killed her in the back of a van.
