I'm pretty darned sure that the Council would insist on taking over the case. :lol:

I agree with LD2. I've had this discussion before without a satisfactory conclusion, other than, it's their's because they can. If the murder had occurred in Grand Central Station, I could see them trying to take it, but don't know how successful they'd have been.
I'm thinking that none of the Laws of Magic were broken so why was it handled internally.
Now, this does not mean that there aren't other wizard laws that we haven't heard of, but this would have been a great time to mention it.

I'd like to see a mundane police force handle it.
"OK, victim, aged ... 237? Is this a typo? ... OK, suspect, born in ... 1865? Come on, is this some kind of joke?"
The White Council handled it because it wouldn't have made sense for mundane police to do so. Same reason that Harry doesn't go to the CPD for stuff that's outside their purview.
Rasins:
And yet we haven't seen Wardens going after thieves (come on, there have to be some clepto wizards), or frauds, or many other laws in the mundane world.

I think there's a pretty solid qualitative difference between a theft and assassinating one of the leaders of the whole wizarding world.
The White Council is as self-centered as any other nation -- they're not going to care if some muggles get swindled, but if one of their own ends up dead, they're going to step in.

That's my point though, their man, their HQ, their jurisdiction. It was covered pretty directly in WN with the difference between a member and an under leveled practitioner. White Council protects White council interests. members, senior council, ect.
