Oh come on, while the killing of Jo Cox is undoubtedly a tragedy the alleged killer was mentally ill. Day to day he helped local people learn English, did his neighbors gardens and volunteered for a local charity. Although assassinate is not incorrect the connotations it brings are of gangland murders, secret agent "hits" and hired contract killers which really don't (appear to) apply in this case.
Nobody should be using her death to emphasise their political point till the full facts are known.
