WHAT'S THAT CALLED WHEN YOU BEAT SOMEONE TO DEATH?

SOFT-SOAPING THE SCARBOROUGH KILLING FIELDS...insert alt text here
-- "Toronto police are investigating a homicide after a woman in her 40s died following an assault in Scarborough early Thursday morning in the area of Victoria Park Avenue and Donside Drive." --

One Toronto media outlet is calling this a 'fatal assault.' What's up with that?  

WHERE HAVE I SEEN THIS SORT OF THING BEFORE?

-- "To quote (and I wrote it down, so I wouldn't screw it up) talking-head Lloyd Robertson... 'Her neck was compressed, to the point she couldn't breathe.'" --
UPDATE: TORONTO HOMICIDE #40/2022
-- "Evdokia Giapoutzis, 49, of Toronto, has been identified as the city’s 40th murder victim of the year. Her brother — Chris Giapoutzis, 37, of Toronto — has been charged with second-degree murder." --
