    For legal reasons they have to use alleged until court proceedings make a judgement officially or it becomes defamatory.

      How is it defamatory? It’s not defamatory. It doesn’t accuse a specific person of stabbing anyone, and a situation can’t be defamation. Unless shopping centres or suburbs can sue for defamation, in which case, they still couldn’t, because it objectively happened.
