Someone tried to kill steven hawking

Now that you mention it, I did think it strange that she remained unnamed. I don't know how the laws work in Spain, but her they don't withhold criminal's or even a suspect's name unless he is a minor.

No, unless convicted, the European laws are clear. You don't name a suspected criminal until they actually are convicted. Entirely different to the US. And it has been that way for the last 20 years at the very least.
