Reuters will have a headline "26 Victims in Suicide Attack" - and then buried in the article you will learn that 25 children were killed when some thug blew himself up.

The murderer is not a "victim"
I agree that the murdered is not a victim and that the hypothetical headline you describe here is inaccurate. We can agree to disagree about how often Reuters and other media say the inaccurate things you describe here.
