This is just stupid. The two men gave up their rights to privacy when they committed the murder. Whether in legal terms, or in terms of public perception, they will always be known.
Is this idiot also going to sue news agencies who maintain records of the cases in their archives?
If I had to guess, it's not about getting people to forget their names. It's about money. They're trying to use a legal loophole as a "get-rich-quick" scheme.

You're probably right. Attempt to launch a defamation case when Wikipedia tells them to stuff it.
"You're defaming me!"
"You murdered someone, you idiot, you defamed yourself."
Lots of clowns sue Wikipedia for telling the truth about them.
Without commenting on the clown-ness of anyone, consider the case of Wayne Crookes who sued Wikipedia and Google and many others demanding that the latter cease to index the term "gang of Crookes", claiming it was used to defame his company West Coast Title Search. The defendants claim that cute name was used only to describe Mr. Crookes' associates in the Green Party of Canada and never referred to West Coast Title Search. Crookes was famous in the Green Party context as its major creditor and highest ranking organizer, but not famous for his West Coast Title Search activities, so the case is similar to this one in some respects.
Just like the murderers, though, Crookes ensured his place in history by suing so many prominent net entities. Including Yahoo, pbWorks, and even a legal scholar who said his lawsuits "threaten freedom of speech." So be careful not to agree with that here, or you too may be sued! What fun.

Sums it up perfectly.
