He didn't die, he got stabbed with a pen. If you're going to explain the context, at least know it.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-16/who-is-bishop-mar-mari-emmanuel-wakeley-church-attack/103728808
I haven't seen any source suggesting it was a pen. Several sources, such as https://www.aap.com.au/news/police-powers-bolstered-as-terror-attack-probe-widens/, describe the weapon as a "flick-knife". Other sources say that the bishop victim was "seriously injured", and the assailant was injured in the attack and his own finger was sliced off with the knife.
I think you are right that no one died, but wrong that the weapon was a pen - this was a serious attack with an actual knife.
Interesting, not what was initially reported. I definitely read it was a pen originally but I believe it was an early article that has since been edited by the ABC.
There's nothing that really reports what the weapon is that I can find just verbs of 'stabbed' and 'knifed'.
Even if it was a pen he got stabbed with it and he only lived due to the intervention of skilled surgeons.
He was being stabbed to death by the guy. The guy just failed.
